The Problem

"Who's here?" said Jasmine?

"Jasmine, you remember that species that was in my dreams the ones that destroyed their planet? Well that is who's here. They are here to take the planet." Sean replied. Jasmine's jaw dropped. She quickly noticed and closed her mouth.

"So then what do we do?" asked Jasmine.

"We alert the Government." said Sean.

They ran back inside and the hospital began taking people in. Sean and Jasmine admitted a few people but got in the elevator. Jasmine pressed the button R. The elevator shot up and shook a little but stabilized quickly. The building wasn't that tall compared to others but it took a minute to get up there.

Sean and Jasmine stepped out of the elevator and onto the roof. The only thing up here was a helipad, an office, and a stair case that led up to their cell towers. The two of them ran into the office and used the phone in the office.

Though they realized the phone was fake. It made a noise but the buttons didn't work and neither did the screen. They both sighed. Then as the exited Jasmine bumped into the filing cabinet where the phone was and knocked the phone on the floor.

They both looked back and saw the fake phone in pieces but a smaller phone inside. Jasmine picked it up and pressed the call button. There were no buttons to call anything just a call and a hangup button.

"What happened? How severe is the problem?" Jasmine and Sean jumped. They had never heard the voice before. "I said what happened damnit! I want answers! How severe is the problem?" Sean and Jasmine looked at each other and then Sean responded.

"Who are you?" Sean asked

"I am a member of the UN. My name is Jonah Castorly This line is for emergencies only now tell me what is going on?" The man said.

"Well," Sean replied. "I assumed you guys would want to know that there is an extra-terrestrial spacecraft hovering above Nurant, Arizona but I might be wrong."

"No that is definitely useful news. how do you know it is extra terrestrial and not an asteroid?" Castorly asked.

"Well sir, I was in a forced coma for 20 years by that species. I also know it was forced because I watched through the screen they implanted in my brain and everything my protege did was correct. Also I had non-stop dreams that they were giving me. Visions of them destroying their planet through war. Visions of their leaders fighting. The ship is the more liberal side of their species. They are more agreeable and have flexible thinking. We just need to hope the other side of their species doesn't come because they are fixated on ruling everything."

Sean was out of breath. He took a deep breath. He forgot that he had been having limited amounts of oxygen for 20 years. He then couldn't stop thinking as to why he had woken up? What had stopped him from being able to wake up the day before, the year before, the decade before?

"Well thank you for the information. Analyzing, analyzing, analyzing. Okay, we believe you. Have a good day and god bless." Jonah immediately spread his hands across his holoscreen and made it disappear. He pushed his chair out of the way and moved through a maze of files.

He had so much work to do that all of these files could be classified as a natural disaster if the piles kept growing. Navigating his way through the maze he passed a bunch of people having to shove past them and run and jump over them.

He opened the door and exited his office. He then ran across the halls admiring the beautiful art and feeling how soft the velvet carpeting was. He pressed the up button on the elevator. He tapped his foot constantly on the floor and whistled in annoyance.

*Ding* The elevator door opened and he ran right in. He looked down the very long list of floor levels until he reached a hidden compartment. He opened the compartment and then a computer proceeded to scan his eye, face, then his entire body. *Ding* *Castorly, Jonah Approved* The door closed and the elevator shot up and his entire stomach went into his mouth. His gag reflex activated and he covered his mouth.

Jonah stabilized himself and then stood up tall. He was ready to go to Annet and tell her everything. Annet Silvo has been the leader of the UN since December of 2081. She was 12 when she was elected. She was forced into the position because everyone thought that her atomic tech was incredible.

She was born in the URDU (United Republic of Democratic Ukraine). URDU became a country in 2027. After Putin's war, Russia needed a new ruler so Zelenskyy decided to take control. Though, Zelenskyy did not want to intrude on their customs so while the border was changed he broke it off into two separate sectors. The Province of Russia, and The Province of Ukraine. He then changed the name of the country to the United Republic of Democratic Ukraine.

The elevator door opened and Jonah saw a woman peacefully sleeping at her desk. "Dr. Silvo, we have a major problem." Jonah said.

"What now Castorly? I have things to do. Also I haven't slept in a week. Is it really that important?" Annet replied groggily.

"Do you consider a new species coming to inhabit our planet important? And this species is giving people weird dreams and they are only from this town. Nurant, Arizona I think it's called?" Castorly retorted.

Annet chuckled nervously. "What did you say the ship looked like?"

"Well, the caller said it was a giant capsule with jet engines the size of moons." Castorly replied.

"Well then, time to call some old friends."
