Kiea

My body was flung upward as the security breach alarm sounded in my quarters. I jumped off my bed as the alarm sounded "Transmission incoming. Earth.".

In a panic my eyes widen and my body flails about as I throw on my armor helmet and top, my hair barely tucked into my top as I slid on my helmet. "They got into my system. How?" I questioned allowed, jumping into my armor.

The system that controlled the ship took years to understand for even our most trained technicians. But my room- was my personal security system. It changes every month with a new algorithm each time. It would take extensive knowledge to breach.

I panicked with curiosity. I started to back track and follow the signal, cursing as I could only find that the signal came from the central Europe of earth, one of few cities still inhabited.

Berlin.

My computer went to block the signal when a video screen appeared before me. It was still lagging but I could hear voices. Human voices- in English.

My body froze hearing the words spoken allowed before. It was way different than a tv show or music. It was odd, knowing someone who spoke the language was on the other side of my transmition. My eyes wide in bewilderment. I rushed to try to close all the cameras in my room.

The screen popped up with three masked figures, human arms and hands exposed under their clothing. My eyes noted immediately they were in a satellite room similar to my own. A satellite dish of sorts, almost looked like a chair sitting behind them.

"Did you get in?" One voice spoke in English softly, his voice quiet. I was glad they spoke in a language I knew well. It was a language from ancient times.

"A, you messed it up" Another one chipped in, chuckling. Shoving the one in the middle. I was shocked by their behavior.

These were earths leaders. What in the stars is going on, how did they get to my coms, but they're acting like children?

"I am connected, they can hear you." The one spoke- the bottom of his mask moving as his deep voice spoke out. The code names and masks on their faces were a surprise to me.

I'm still rigid in curiosity, how are they able to get away with this behavior. "Hello V it's nice to finally meet with you like this." The one in the middle said.

"What did he call you?" V asked in English, coming to my side. Making the boy on the right flinch.

"Is that a robot?" The one on the right asked. The one in the middle nodded and whispered something quietly. This was an odd first meeting that was for sure. The child like one shrunk back in his chair.

"I see you are not far from earth's orbit, and I can tell by you intercepting our news yesterday you are well aware of our current situation here on earth, V." The middle one bites with more power in his tone. He is most definitely the leader of the group.

"This one is calling you V, your highness, should we inform him of his confusion?" She asked quietly.

"How do you know English?" The one on the right askes.

"I created 2-way communication devises, to ensure my people could speak to you humans. V has already been installed with the program." I finally spoke having the voice corrector activated.

"You make it sound as though you do not have this device.?" The one on the left asks, his tone quiet. The three masked figures nodded to each other.

"I have studied earth for a long time. I am fluent in most languages spoken on your planet. I do not need one." I inform them.
