About this ebook

Episode Two of the two-part short story. After discovering the alien's blood outside the Consulate, the Consul and the staff rushed to the building's surveillance room to check the security camera feeds, where they are able to process a photo of the female alien and learn her true identity - an identity that is top-secret and dangerous. Finally, they are able to decode the message through the computer and learn of its translation - a translation that puts the whole Consulate down into its very foundations.

About the Short Story:

At the Earth Consulate located by the border of the Andromeda Galaxy, the building is just closing down when a wounded female alien walks up inside the entrance and leaves a message in an unknown and unfamiliar language. The Consul is then called up when the alien was suddenly gone in a swift, not leaving a trace. The only clue is a periwinkle-colored fluid by the side-road drain of the main space-highway. The whole Consulate is now down to its very core as the Consul and the staff rush to search for the female extraterrestrial, her identity, and the meaning her message - a message that not only concerns the Consulate, but home itself.

It's the year 9917, when Earth has now become a unified republic planetary state, consisting of its different countries unified and governed by the United Nations as its central governing body, and when deep-space exploration has long been successful, being able to make contact and interact with extraterrestrial races, and establish interstellar and intergalactic colonies, city-states, and provinces across the whole Milky Way, Andromeda, and the whole Local Group Galaxies, and parts of deep-space Universe.

Filled with hi-tech surveillance computers, facial-recognition software, image filters, modern optics, language translators, and high-end futuristic physics, with a mix of espionage and terrorism, "A Warning For Earth" is packed with deep-cosmic action.

"A Warning for Earth" is a two-part short story, totaling to 6,000 words.

    A Warning For Earth - Christian Cross

    INTRODUCTION

    (Taken and updated from Episode One)

    I was writing a sci-fi espionage story, and realized I already have a chapter that is a short story in itself and decided to publish it. I’ve divided it into two parts – episodes one and two. This eBook contains the second episode. Since this is just only a first-draft part of that sci-fi espionage story, I don’t actually know how to end this short story, nor should this have follow-up sequel episodes. But for now, I hope it will be a good, enjoyable read.

    The major theme and setting of the story seem to be very futuristic, having to take place in the late 10th millennium (9917). Most sci-fi works discusses the idea of first human contact with extraterrestrials (as popularized by classic works such as Carl Sagan's Contact, which was also adapted into a film). But this one takes on the idea of a post-contact era, where and when humanity has long established working and personal relationships with extraterrestrial races, and interacts with them both politically and economically, regarding them as mere foreigners.

    I feel as though as the writing of the story is heavy, being too much technical and scientific in its descriptions. So I am worried that readers might feel the same way and struggle through the technical passages. The first few paragraphs themselves were a challenge for me. I want to first set the story into this futuristic setting, and tell the reader what is going on and how life, civilization, and technologies have developed through the millennia. So I feel that this chunk of opening
