A secret

Can you keep a secret?

OK... you obviously don't know me. You don't know who I am, where I am from or why am I telling you my secret or what am I even going to share to you since basically we're strangers but that's my point.

Nobody will be willing to hear me out if I'm not a stranger to them. I can at least tell my secrets to a stranger who hasn't even seen me. Seen my identity...

First of all,hey. I am SSN as in SSN 32 but SSN. You haven't seen me but that's good. I won't tell you how I look like because that'll probably scare you. I mean not in a scary-scary way but you understand.

"Before anything...You've got a weird name and what's your secret that you're talking about? I don't have my entire time for you only."

Oh..wait. Pretty impatient I see. Before I begin telling you my secret, do you-erm-do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? As in out of this Planet Earth that we're staying at? Somewhere out in the space?

" You're weird. What are you talking about?"

Do you know about KOSMIKOS?

"umm..NO?"

Cosmic Intervention Department?

"Is it like a secret scientist agent thing?Is that your secret? That's why you have a weird name?"

How plausible. I am, indeed however I am no ordinary one.

"yea.. I am gonna go."

Wait.

"Spit out."

wait.. okay.I am-umm-I am -I am a run away experiment.

"You..WHAT?"

Yes, but I am not ordinary one like modified humans.

"There are... What?? Okay.. enough of this.. I am gonna call the cops."

Calm down. It might be coming out as a shock or rather as a prank to you but I want you to trust me and listen to me carefully. I don't have much time to talk to you.

So, please just listen carefully.

I am-I am one of the few survivors of Algolite species who were the inhabitants in Algol IV. After flying off from there we roamed for ages searching for a suitable habitat for us. We sent cosmic waves all over milky way just in case when one day we came across Earth who signaled back to us.

"Whoa! SO you are saying that you're an alien form and there are like things like modified humans?"

Yes.Whoa is correct. So, after getting some reply back, they actually invited us over. We had remained all of our lives in isolation that we simply couldn't trust them. We also couldn't invite them to us since they could've easily found out about our hidings.

To a degree, no soul wanted to risk their lives, including me, who had somehow managed to save their lives. We had thought of giving up until our commander decided to go to the Earth on his own.

Not much months after his visit three Algolites were summoned to Earth to check on the suitability of conditions of Earth for our stay.

Accordingly, me and two of us our other scientists decided to come here.

"What do you mean you and two other scientists?"

Isn't that what you call?

"Is this seriously a prank? Now that I think of it, if you are what you say you are then how do you know Earth language and that too English?

Because I did not come here YESTERDAY. It's been AGES. To actually learn anything about Earth we had to learn the language for the communication of Earth which was easier for us than humans to learn our language. You see, ours is complex and to top that we know certain emotions or what some one is going to say by how they say things which added benefits to us.

"Uh huh okay continue."

Now, where was I?

" You were summoned to Earth."

Yea..so, we were welcomed by our commander. Nothing weird.

For months we were taught the language, we learnt about the planet, the suitability for our stay. We were allowed to go out too but only at the place where their used to be heavy guards with guns, probably soldiers.

Everything was normal until one day one scientist disappeared. What's more strange is that after her disappearance we got more data. But everything came clear when the commander said that she had been extracting all the data from different part of the Earth. We didn't think too deeply of it when the commander reassured us. So, after that I didn't bother ask the commander any more.

After that nothing seemed out of ordinary. We were well fed. We wentout. We studied. Yes, nothing out of ordinary but that too till what was to come next.

"Do NOT stop."

The next day of how I felt everything was Ok, I woke up in darkness. I felt cold and wet. I had something covering my eyes but I didn't know what. Yet, as far as I was concerned I was floating under a liquid substance.

Before I could think of anything else the covering from my eyes were slowly removed and to my horror my colleague who was supposed to be in the other part of the Earth was in front of my eyes completely torn apart by humans. But we weren't the only one being torn I saw, other species of Earth even human species were there to be modified. I, myself was locked inside a spiral glass container full of white liquid substance.

I wanted to get out of their so badly and I wanted to tell the commander everything that was being done to us down to the point that he was walking in... freely... checking out the torn body of his OWN DAMN species. I finally realized the situation. He had betrayed us. One of the most trusted commander had betrayed us. I assumed for the knowledge since WE didn't do such things as modification.

"I am a human too. Why are you saying this to me?"

Because I know not all humans are same like not Algolites are. Even though I am in my hiding, I am still alive because of a human.

Well, to make it clear after the commander left with other human scientists only one human was left. He freed me saying that all his life he wanted to meet an alien not kill them and he too didn't know about any modification going out. He was a newbie yet he only knew about NASA helping an alien.

Before I could say Massimo to him he made me run away.

"Ma-mas-massimo?"

Oh! It means Thank you.

He might be in danger and one of my colleague is still there. Apart from that I need to go to my mexmex to warn them.

"Max-max?"

It's mexmex. It means-it means people.

Now, you still wonder why I am saying this to you? A stranger?

Because I need a stranger to know that they have to keep my identity hidden while saving their people and mine too.

I don't-I don't have-have-much-t-t-time..

Right after you get disconnected with "ALIEN", you get a call from your "NASA" brother.

"hello."

"Hey. Can you keep a secret.?"
