Evolution (part 2)

Note: Recently I found an old journal of mine. But due to the way I wrote things down I’m not sure if it was a story idea of mine or something I read or saw on TV. Either way I will write a four part story based on what I had written in the journal.

Evolution

(Part 2 of 4)

Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead – Benjamin Franklin

A lie is only part of the truth - Unknown

Far above the planet orbits a series of space stations. Strategically places apart to have a complete view of the planet below. On one of these space stations a newborn Nikushoku-Konchu has just been beamed aboard. Surprised by its new surroundings, other Nikushoku are there to properly greet it and directs it and many other newborns to one of many waiting rooms.

A Nikushoku fly’s above them as the room is by now completely filled up and begins to lecture them on what is in store for their future.  As he settles on a platform above the crowd, the ceiling area starts showing a virtual image slideshow of pictures and videos that correlate to what the lecture is saying.

Boastfully speaking. We are the most powerful, intellectual and superior in every way. Below on this planet we are worship like Gods. And what I am about to tell you if one of the best kept secrets to the Shigai population.  The Shigai believe that we are the next stage of evolution of their species. That we have raised them to a new level of life from the hellish one they use to suffer through. We, in fact, conquered this species centuries ago of their own free will.

Centuries ago we found these people from all forms of electronic signals they transmitted out into space. Watching their world the way it was, we had many options on how to confront them. In the end we decided that the best course of action was a cautious and slow takeover of the planet. We used an array of sabotage tactics to weaken their government systems and controlled many of their kind by using those in key power positions. 

We took control of their internet and computer systems as we decreased many of the planets population through a series of medical epidemics and wars. Selecting what we wanted them to know, who was elected. We also decided what technologies should or should not be developed. We brought them to a point where they couldn’t trust their leaders and were looking for a change. Then we begin our invasion.

 We planned for a series of losses on our side to begin with. Our kind needs a host body in order for the seedlings to grow and consume nutrients while providing protection. We began by planting our seedlings into a few people across the planet. In time the local governments would try to hide this but we would continue on using more host bodies. As they conducted their experiments on our people, we did the same to theirs but on a much grander scale. In time we exposed their world what their government was doing, driving the populous of the planet towards use.

As we increased our program of implanting, we showed these primitive creatures how intelligent we are by creating many new technologies for them to enjoy. We gave those in positions of power, as a way to win their support, the means to control more of their kind. Eventually we used them for host bodies as well once they served our purpose of moving the populous of the planet to accept us as the next form of evolution of their kind.

It took over three centuries for them to get used to our presence and except us as their own. As we took control of the planet, we constructed new cities to contain them, gave them medicines to end all their diseases and technologies to keep them occupied. Eventually we openly handle many of the things that they took for granted in life. We became what they thought to be was us being their personal servants.

Wars and crime between them dwindled to nothing. We removed their orbital satellites, weapon systems and other forms of their technologies. We removed their cities, monument structures. Everything that connected them to their past was ripped away from them without them even knowing it. By now they were using our technology and the way of life we wanted them to have.  We rewrote their history with each generation of their species.

There were debates among their kind in regards to their species dying out and wanted to fight this extinction by any means necessary.  An idea we planted among them and convinced them easily to do what they thought was their own solution. And with that they removed all concepts of age limits for their female species to start giving birth. They finally increased their population for our offspring to feed off them.  

After 700 years from our first encounter with these people, we were in complete control of the planet. With our space stations orbiting the planet with nearly daily ship travels between this planet and our own, we were just getting started with the Shigai. And with the establishment of a more abundant food source, we were able to feed them in greater numbers, thereby increasing our numbers as well. Not to mention feeding our people as well.

We created what they thought were medical collars to monitor if they were about to “evolve” but in reality we were not only monitoring them but our seedlings within them and when it was time to collect them. We could easily pinpoint the best location to beam our seedlings into them without their knowledge. As an added bonus we could tap into their brain to keep them in a mellow mood. Making sure their anger or doubts towards us were kept at bay.

We increase their breeding cycle by giving them medicines mixed in with their food that made the women more fertile and shortened their menstrual cycle to only a day. We also increase the men’s sperm output to insure the women became pregnant. As the life expectancy was shorten to around 40 years of age, we also increased their growth cycle to mature quickly than ever before. A Shigai is normally fully grown by its 20th birthday, but now they are fully grown by the time they are 14 years of age with the women giving birth by this the time as well.

We were able to eliminate their family units for a more casual approach. One male could easily impregnate several women multiple times every year. So we made sure that there were at least one male and six females in every dwelling unit. We achieved this by altering the DNA to make sure more women than men are born. Thereby making sure their population continues to increase as they are driven by a desire to keep their species alive and growing. Not to mention the drugs we fed them to maintain the desire to have sex all the time.

They have been trained from birth to have as many offspring as possible. We have eliminated all forms of modesty they once had.  They beg for sex with whomever of the opposite sex they can find even to the point of teaching their children how to reproduce. Now a Shigai woman will fill ashamed if she does not have an offspring by the time she is 15 years old or a male Shigai will begin to impregnate the Shigai women by the time he is 12 years old.

By this time we had been teaching them our language while listening and learning our form of entertainment. This was done to further eliminate even more of their true identity. To eliminate their confusion or doubts of why there were so many languages on this planet and to make it more easy for the whole Shigai population to follow orders on the true voice and meaning of their masters without the hassle of translating everything for their own comfort. They are to comfort us, not the other way around.

 An idea that for once we didn’t have to tell them to do without was the wearing of clothing. Seeing as we do not wear any form of clothing, the Shigai over time began to copy us.  They worship us as the next stage of their normal life. They saw us as perfection and they wanted to live their life in the image of us. Being naked didn’t damage our offspring nor for the other processes we had planned for them. They willingly gave us their modesty and vanity.

Even when they asked about their history, we told them the truth; but from our point of view. They even surrendered their true God and beliefs for the life of a lie. How they crawled about the ground looking for food and shelter. Creating wars and destroying their own kind because of different viewpoints. We told them how they were chosen by a “Higher Power” to create a super race of being to go out into the Universe and conquer it. They were becoming us as we protected them from all the dangers on this planet.

Sixteen hundred years since we first arrive, we have removed all traces of this species place on this planet. We took their body, sprit and soul. Their language, culture, all forms of their creations and achievements and replaced it with ours. Even if they revolt against us, they have no idea on who they really are. They fully believe that we, Shigai and Nikushoku, are the same species; making them one of the biggest jokes of the Universe.

Soon all of you will be boarding a ship for the trip to your true home. You will stop off at another planet to connect up with a second ship that will be carrying food and supplies for our home world. And with that a young Nikushoku asked a question of wanting to know the name of the planet they were born on is called. The lecturer stated that the planet is called Konchu no-Su. But at one point the Shigai used to call it Earth.
