It all started when I was just a boy. I had been watching all these movies about war and conflict with generations of alien encounters. As I grew older I noticed something in the sky, what is it, a plane, jet or a UFO. From that day on until I was 20, I kept doing the research, and it kept saying the same thing: A UFO. When I was 22 years old, I got invited to a club meeting, which was about flying objects in the sky’s above. A year later a job application from my manager, Which involved going into the great depths of space. My first day on a settlement of USS 1902 Enterprise. To my knowledge it was big and shiny.

Premise: Have aliens always lived alongside us?

Truth is stranger than fiction.

An ordinary couple go on holiday to Bolivia where they learn of ancient peoples trepanning and developing taller skulls to develop superior brain function.

In one of their pre-organised trips, they are taken into ancient caves on the Altiplano of the Andes, which they hear were traditional burial grounds for the indigenous people. They see the bones and even remains of hair; they see markings on rocks and listen with fascination to their guide.

The next day, another venue: Tiwanaku… the site of an ancient pre-Incan civilisation with strange monoliths.

A visit to another site and a meeting with a strange Shaman who foretells their future: that what they seek is out there.

As they become immersed in the history of this strange, almost alien part of the Earth, they begin to notice differences between the people they meet. Some seem to have abnormally tall skulls, blonde hair, blue eyes.

After lots of investigation and bumping into a fellow traveller called Fox, who seems obsessed with the idea of Earth being

infiltrated by aliens, they discover evidence that proves aliens did indeed land in the Andes; they did operate upon themselves and infiltrate the human race, changing their form, appearance and intelligence.

It ensues that all blond, blue-eyed, fair skinned people are descended from the original invaders. They have mixed with the human race over the centuries- only the indigenous peoples of the continents are human, the rest of are alien colonisers.

Unfortunately, Fox and the couple all have dark hair and brown eyes. They wake up on tables attached to tubes and machines. The trepanning operation is about to start… they will be part of the workforce assisting the invaders in their goal

to denude Earth of its resources, fill it with inventions that have irreparably damaged the planet and choke it with pollution … before moving on…

But have the invaders underestimated the power and tenacity of the human race?

On a night in a mountainous area of South Africa, renowned for regular UFO activity, there's an unusually prolonged visitation-bright lights followed by the raining down of beautiful seeds which blossom by daylight into exotic flowers - exuding a terrible, stench like rotting flesh. Within a day, the flowers and all evidence of them, has disappeared.
Botanists, zoologists, scientists, are unable to identify the flowers, concluding that they are an 'other-worldly species'. Their attempts to preserve specimens are unsuccessful, as these simply disappear. Scientists and botanists involved in the identification, begin to die mysteriously, their bodies sucked dry of all fluids.
Cattle begin to die in nearby fields and pets disappear, their desiccated carcasses appearing days later.
It's clear that a malign being/s is/are afoot, seeking moisture and nourishment from warm-blooded mammals. Next children disappear.
The govt seems helpless to take action against an unseen enemy whose presence is known only when there is a sudden the stench of rotting flesh.
Not content to trawl streets and outdoor areas, the being insinuates itself into homes, seeping under door and through open windows, entering like an insidious vapour.
The chief protagonist, a high school Biology teacher, Cherie, tape seals every window and door frame in her house, forbidding her children to go outdoors or to open any door or window. Streets are deserted, inhabited only by those making a run to the supermarket - only to find them firmly closed.
Some people hoped to appease the creature by leaving chunks of bloody meat outside their doors. Clearly the creature wanted warm, fresh nourishment and rejected the dead meat.
Cherie, always prepared for catastrophic events, had a cellar packed with tins, water and preserves. Neighbours however, were forced to venture out in search of supplies. Cherie watched horrified as they were attacked by the invisible beast, their juices sucked from them , their bodies discarded like clothed sacks of dry skin and bones. People's remains littered the streets as hunger and thirst drove them  from their homes, desperation overcoming fear. The entire area was overlaid by the beast's terrible deathly stench, indicating that it was constantly all around, everywhere as the smell never leaves.
Cherie's young kids whined and moaned, little understanding the full danger. Finally the youngest girl, only 4 years old, opened the door, determined to see her little friend.
The beast enters the house, ignoring the small child, searching for bigger prey. Cherie is alerted by the strength of the smell in the house. She's in the bathroom doing her hair. Instinctively, she sprays the air around her, with her hairspray, screaming at the other two kids to keep their bedroom doors closed. In a frenzy, she keeps pressing the button on the can, realising after a few moments, that she's not been attacked. Around her feet, small exotic flowers appear and wither instantly.

For a long time, the human species has been destroying, little by little, its greatest home: Earth.
The warning signs were ignored in the name of a development that benefited only a small fraction of people and harmed billions of others.
This went on until actions to preserve the planet were too late.
So a group formed by leaders and scientists arose in search of the only possible solution: Find a new planet for the human species to inhabit.

But this action was not supported by everyone and just as there were groups that fought to prevent the end of the planet and were not heard, there is now a group that proposes the acceptance of the end of humans, along with animals and nature that would be abandoned, because wherever they went, they would take the evil inherent to human beings: greed and selfishness.

The conflict started with rhetoric, but ended up evolving into an armed struggle, as the protests that began peacefully were violently controlled by state representatives. Some attempts to launch rockets were unsuccessful and the so-called rebels were accused of sabotage, but nothing has been proven. All this turmoil did not stop with the space race and the immense expenses in the search of an uncertain destiny.

After several years of conflicts with arrests and deaths, the group that intended to defend the rest of the universe from the human species ended up being eliminated and the result of space research pointed only to a possible planet called Proxima b, in the neighboring star of the Earth Proxima Centauri, 4 years ago. .2 light years.
The voyage that began in 2021 is expected to take 16,000 years on a spacecraft like the ancient Voyager, but the creation of faster and safer ships that could transport even humans made it possible to shorten the trip to 8,000 years.
Several generations had been born and died with the hope of saving humans and now the end of that wait was near...

A few more decades passed, after the start of the colonization of Proxima b, and the entire remaining population of the Earth was transferred along with the samples of nature and the embryos of animals kept, as they slowly disappeared.
The Earth was left behind and abandoned, but from space it was no longer seen as an immense blue globe but a globe with dark fog and, in the bright spots, with vulvanic eruptions on all continents.
The terrestrial people were adapting to their new home, but, according to digitally recorded reports that were transmitted through space and could be captured by any galaxy, the animals and plants taken from the old Earth suffered genetic mutations in the climate of the new planet and became deadly to the animals. humans, thus annihilating them all and currently only the annihilators can survive on Proxima b.

Conflict

The Class use their combined creative skills to process their influence on the New Dimension. As they up their own Big Con game, they face greater wickedness. Algorithm failure is not a DREAM option.
