The Annunaki War

The Arc of the Covenant

        Moses stood, arms folded, against one wall of the dark room. Along the other wall, Enki stood, arms outstretched. "Behold!" he bellowed as he signaled towards the massive machine in the center of the room.  "The instrument of your salvation, as promised!" The machine stood perhaps three meters tall fully assembled, with two bell shape structures sitting just above an air intake. The clear dome on top of the machine functioned as a centrifuge, and four exhaust hoses dispensed chlorella algae (which Yahwew called "manna from heaven") and waste byproducts. The machine was powered by an ornate golden box, which Yahwew had bestowed upon the slaves as a gift, in return for their devotion. 

        "You're certain this machine will sustain us, oh lord?" Moses examined the machine sceptically.

       "Do not question me, Moses," Enki snapped. "Remember our arangement. Your people's freedom and survival in exchange for your  unquestioning devotion. and loyalty."

        '"Yes, o lord god Yahwew," Moses agreed. "My people will happily follow their savior. They stand together now, ready and willing. But how will we ever escape the city?"

        "Go to the pharaoh, demand that he release your people or suffer the wrath of the one true god. If he will not,  I will convince him to - the hard way."

        "Very good, oh lord." Moses turned and headed outside for the palace. Overhead, he saw Yahwew's starship flit across the sky and disappear.

        The pharaoh had raised Moses as his own son, hoping to eventually use Moses to gain acceptence from his slaves. Now, as Moses stood before him demanding the release of all slaves, the pharaoh was indigant and offended. "Ha!" he scoffed when Moses threatened the wrath of Yahwew, the one true god. "How can my own son be so easily manipulated? Everything this 'Yahwew' has told you is a lie. He cannot do anything that our gods can't do."

        "You're wrong, father," Moses protested. "I have seen what he can do. I have had a vision. Yahwew has shown me his influence and it is greater than anything we can comprehend."

        "This 'Yahwew' doesn't scare me," the pharaoh chuckled. "Tell him to do his worst. And never speak to me as my son again." With that, Moses was escorted out by the palace guards. Feeling empowered, he returned to where he had met with Enki. Along the back wall, a communications console flickered to life, and am image of Enki's head towered above him.

        "Well?"  Enki demanded.

        "I believe his exact words were 'do your worst'," Moses shrugged.

        Enki smiled slowly. "I hoped he would say that," he said with a chuckle.  "This is going to be fun!"
