"In the last statement it has been reported that soon the agents of the Contact Committee will be communicating with the members selected to be part of the Alliance" a presenter said coincidentally on television, which Sam soon turned off.
The agents went into the living room, and took seats in the two remaining chairs on one side of the table, while Sam and I found our places in the other two.
The man handed me a black envelope and the woman urged me to open it.

Inside there was a pen, a contract, and an embroidered badge, which said "The Alliance Pact"
In the midst of a silence so deep that only the rain falling on the windows was audible, I looked at the objects on the coffee table.
- The Alliance? – I asked in English, acting like I didn't know any of this - Despite what my university degree says, I am not a scientist. What am I supposed to do there?
-Well, the Alliance Pact has scientists from a wide range of areas of knowledge. But they are already selected - Agent Collins informed me calmly - What we are looking for... what we need for the Alliance are normal people, like you.
Until I heard those words I didn't know that a person could actually make the word normal sound like something bad and good at the same time.
-What do you know about them, the...aliens? -I asked.
-They come in peace, and have humanoid forms - The woman, Agent Cameron, responded.
-Now, protocol requires that we inform you of the terms, before you make a decision - said the man.
- Go ahead - I said, and Agent Cameron pointed her eyes toward the contract, and I picked it up from the table, while Sam leaned a little closer to me, so he could read it as well.
-If you choose to join The Alliance, you will have the position of Human Representative of the Alliance Pact. - she said - You will work in the company of 6 people at this same level, as well as 7 extraterrestrials with the position of Extraterrestrial Representative.
-As soon as all the members are in our base, the announcement of the formation of the Alliance Pact will be made to the world. - said Agent Collins - Your task will be to go to meetings, ceremonies and events that require the participation of both species.
