Troop13

An Ally and A Revelation

"Why have you come?", I asked Garm.

 "You see that my race is invading Earth, correct? I am against it.", Garm stated. 

"Why are you against it even it is to your benefit?" Bryan questioned.

 "I was instructed to go to Earth to study human culture and language. I was to be an interpreter. But the longer I lasted here in your home, the more I loved it. Human life is fun and enjoyable.", Garm explained. "I even almost forgot that I am an alien, not a human.", The alien joked. Wow, he really studied human life, as he knew how to joke.

"So what is your goal?", John interrogated. 

"My goal is to stop the invasion, or at least die trying.", Garm said.

"Give us a second to talk to each other.", Marc requested. We faced each other and whispered. "Do you think he can be trusted?", Carmen asked worriedly. "His words are sincere. He really looks like he knows how we live here." Marc stated. "So, will we help him?", Bryan aked. "Ok, we will take him to Camp.". We broke our conversation and talked to again to the alien, who was checking the computer again while we were talking.

"Ok, we have decided to help you stop the invasion, since we have the same goal.", Marc told Garm. 

"We will take you back to camp so the General will know about us teaming up." I added.

"Won't they try to harm me? I mean, I am of the same race as as the enemy, so perhaps they would try to shoot me down.", Garm asked with a tone of fear.

"They'll have to shoot us first before they shoot you." John stated. It sounds like he has his complete trust on the alien.

"Ok then. But before we leave. I need to search this lab." Garm told us. "In my long stay here on Earth, I have heard rumors of a locomotive that can go anywhere." The alien said. "There are also rumors that the creator of the train hasn't really been removed out of existence, but rather just hiding with his invention.", he added. "There were recorded interactions between the inventor and our alien race. He knew how to create alien technology because of the interactions." Garm explained. "I am an ordinary alien, with no knowledge about alien tech. But if we can find the inventor, he could be of assistance.", He finished explaining.

"The rumors are really hard to believe, but since it's also quite impossible for someone to just become wiped out of existence, it could be possible that Alestrius is just hiding.", Carmen theorized.

Garm was listening while he checked the computers for clues on the inventor's or the invention's location. "I only found this. Bits of info about the train.", Garm invited us to check the computer. 

"DIARY ENTRY 52
                     I have finally invented the 'Skyrail Train'. It is a train that can go anywhere with a few lumps of Alestronite. I could even go to space with it if I wanted to, but I don't have a spacesuit. But I need to hide this invention of mine and myself, to protect myself from being banished because of my interaction with aliens. With that, I have decided to fake my death with an accident. I will make them think that I am using a strengthening machine, which is actually a teleportation machine, which will teleport me to my hiding place somewhere in this Planet. I hope the plan turns out well. If anyone trustworthy is reading this. Go to the place where the ball of fire sinks, from a sentry's view in this city."

"So the rumors were true...", Bryan was astonished by the evidence.

"How come you gained access to the computer?", John asked.

"This computer can be hacked easily, with the fact that 'ordinary aliens' can hack into human computers.", Garm explained.

"Ok, with that in hand, let's go back to camp. Move out.", Marc instructed. We all marched out together with Garm, a new ally, and with a revelation; that Alestrius is not dead, but hiding, together with his invention.
