Error ! System corrupted.

“ Damn it ! ” Trey slammed his open palm against the desk.

He hastily tried to punch a few codes on the unstable hologram.

“ Work , damn it ! You can't shut down , Not now ! ”

Sorry ! Code corrupted.

“ Alexia, activate the network and reboot system ! ” He barked the order.

Sorry ! Network undetected.

Error ! Undetected.

Network compromised.

“ Alexia , you are not making sense ! ”

Shutting down. Shutting down.

It is the year 2200.

The world is technologically advanced than ever so Trey could not possibly understand why the system in the NASA facility was shutting down unless they were suddenly possessed. He tapped the chip on the side of his head to get into contact with his colleges but : nothing .

Angry , he stormed from the control room into the field and that is when he saw it.

Bright , round , otherworldly.

In scientific terms they would easily be termed ( Unidentified Flying Objects ) UFOs but in this case it was not speeding , it was infact descending and he realized it was a space aircraft , definitely not of human kind.

Trey never noticed that he was not standing but rather lying on the ground his hands shaking even when the gigantic craft finally landed and warm blast of air hit him . The door slid up open and a huge being stepped out followed by two of the same kind but lean.

Trey assessed that aside from their light purple skin , glowing purple eyes and antenna shaped organs attached on their foreheads they would pass as humans any day.

Another door slid open and one like them stepped out then turned back helping someone from the craft. He blinked , watching as humans like him were helped down : women , men and children . Trey rubbed his eyes but stopped when he heard a deep chuckle.

He frightfully looked up.

“ Don't be afraid , ” he said and briefly looked at the growing crowd of Trey's colleagues.

One of the lean men beside him helped Trey up .

Purple eyes glowed at him , “ I'm Tarzan representing the blood warrior tribe from the planet Venus. I'm here on a purely redeeming mission. I've come here to sincerely apologise for the past air abductions that took place amongst your kind . Our leader then was not very just when it came to matters of curiosity and sadly it led him astray but today we all bring back those who were affected. I assure you that no harm ever came to them . ”

His muscled arm stretched towards the small group of people, “ So I wish to meet your world president or leader for this cause then I shall be on my way. ”

That was strange.
Trey expected that they had probably come to blast him to ashes then declare world domination if not , seek friendship of humans or at the very least strike a business deal , but this : it was unbelievable.

So he simply stared at Tarzan , mouth wide open.
