The Decision part 2

As the screens flickered on the first person to speak was Russia's current was kazimir Baranov " Greetings, everyone, it is a shame that we could not meet under better conditions but, it appears fate loves making our lives difficult". Kazimir "always liked to start a conversation off with a lighthearted joke but, it does not mean he wasn't feeling the pressure like the rest of us. "either way I'm pretty sure everyone here knows what this is about if not I would love some of the drugs your taking it really take the edge off.

"kazimir I really don't think this is the right time for your jokes" replied the president of France

"But aren't you suppose to laugh at jokes? the biggest joke I've ever seen is heading right for us how am I not supposed to to to to to laugh".

This quip of his started a conversation that was going a bit off track from what I presumed what was going to be discussed here today as other world leaders each came in with their own remark on the subject.

"Everyone please focus I know what's happening today wasn't expected by any of us but, it has happened and now we must stand up together and face it". President of Italy was right and we all know it.

"president Marko is right yes most of us are all on opposite sides and have our own interest as well as citizens to consider but, we all live on the same planet so when it comes down to it must protect it together or we will die together".

"Thank you for making my point Mrs. Turner so, does anyone have any kind of proposal for how we should handle this".

" establishing contact is obviously the best thing we could possibly do at this time to try and understand why they are here, my staff has been trying to do this for a while no success"

"As had all of our personal staff too but let me say this, Mrs. Turner, if you or anyone else is able to establish the first contact they should not say anything to what's up their instead inform the rest of us so we may have a representative that will speak for all of us so as to not mess up and be regarded as enemies by whatever may reside on that ship because of the soul actions of one nation." kazimir made a lot of sense so none of the other nations had a reason to disagree with him and agreed".

That's when the ringing of alarms sounded off one at a time on all the monitors even inside the bunker. "what's going on" john hurriedly tried to explain the problem "Mrs.Turner our satellites show the unidentified object has arrived next to our planet and have released something from their ship. "released something, well what is it".

"We do not know"

Not satisfied with that word Mrs. Turner in a huff ordered her staff to show the satellite video. The massive unknown ship was releasing thousands of unknown objects from its body all of which headed towards earth. The swarm of unknown objects surrounded the entire planet in no time at all.

Freeze the video and zoom in on one of those things" the staff did their job quickly, bringing up a clear image of what was flying around the planet. It looked like a ship a weird-looking ship shaped like a manta ray fused with metal and flesh with fleshy tendrils hanging off

"How many are their"

"We don't know"

"Then figure it out. John, mike, Kate somebody please figure out what they're trying to do". Feeling a headache coming on Mrs. Turner finally got a report from Mike "images and video footage from social media shows these things entering different towns and city's and abducting people"

"What, how many of them are in the united states?"

"We don't know that but, from what we can gather they are taking people from areas with the most population first"

"That is enough I'm declaring a state of emergency I want the air force to mobilize immediately and shoot those things down. The army and navy should send what they have to assist as well. Navy should be deployed around coastal areas and navy every was else.

"about that Mrs. Turner before the army and navy were still able to mobilize to some degree but, the constant earthquakes have destroyed a lot of infrastructures and caused the ocean to become quite dangerous even submarines cant move that easily. Traveling by land or sea is a no go, only the air force can be deployed effectively".

"then use all available fighter gets to confront these things and have the rest of our forces try to reach the closest city's ad towns in their area to protect the citizens".

"right away"

The entire bunker was a mess with people making phone calls and trying to get a grip on the situation best as they could. Not long after the monitors started to come on again, all the other world leaders were whipped into a furry. Many demanding immediate actions a few others took me by surprise wanting the other countries to hold up on opening fire. Wishing to try and see if there is still a chance to come to an understanding. Don't exactly blame them for wanting to see if there was even a small chance to negotiate we all saw that thing up there but, they had already opened fire on us so such things were meaningless.

"All of you I understand your worry and the kind of situation you must be in with not being able to mobilize most of your forces because of the constant earthquakes so, let me say this you have 10 minutes to try to negotiate a ceasefire with those things before I start shooting them down cause that's how long its gonna take for my fighter jets to reach them. We didn't ask for this battle but they started it so I'm giving it to them. I will be dammed if I let my citizens die for an unlikely hope. That's why I will give them something they can believe in, their country, good day to you all".

"How long till jets confront the first group"

"Eta 7 minutes and counting"

"let us hope we survive this ordeal," she said as she glanced at the monitor to her right showing the mother ship still spewing thousands more of those weird ships without end. Feeling pain in her gut just looking at that.
