Return earth

When we almost reach our solar system, there are some UFOs blocking our way home suddenly.

Under such circumstance, our mother spaceship has to stop. There is a deadlock between our mother spaceship and those UFOs.

I feel very uneasy inside the observation room. I suspect that those UFOs come from those aliens in another district on the planet. They do not like our rescue action and block our way to our earth.

After one day deadlock, on side retreats.

The deadlock continues for another day without any sign of retreating from any sides.

This morning, the captain and action leader come to our big dormitory hall when we have breakfast.

"As everybody knows the situation, the present situation is not so optimistic. The deadlock cannot be continued any more. We must find a way to break the present deadlock." Says the captain.

"The present situation is not the worst one. Still, there is no war between us and those UFOs. We must do our best to avoid the conflict. Those UFOs just block our way. They do not open fires on us. That means that there is still a possibility to negotiate the situation out." I remind everybody.

"That is true. We should not open fires first. Even if we can break the blocking by force, Lily and Sam can never come back." Replies the captain.

"I agree. No war is better than having war. But still, we need to find a way to break this deadlock. We cannot stay here forever." Says the action leader.

"I have an idea for us. Our mother spaceship can go back for about 100 km, then flying down for another 100 km, then flying forward. We use this way to skip the blocking and avoid conflicts. Hopefully, those aliens can understand our goodwill." I suggest.

"Good idea. Let us try this first. If those UFOs will not block us again, we can go home." The captain replies before leaving the observation room. We all go to the observation room to observe the situation changes.

Under the guidance of the captain, our mother spaceship goes back for about 100 km, flying down for another 100 km, then, flying forward. Unfortunately, in front of our mother spaceship, the UFOs still block our way. We are very surprised to see those UFOs again. The captain enters the observation room.

"It does not work. Those UFOs still block our way home. Obviously, this time, those aliens do not want us to return to our earth. Our rescuing mission must annoy those aliens a lot. What should we do next?" Asks the captain.

"I think so, too. Our rescuing mission must make those aliens very angry. They want to give us a lesson or big trouble." Replies the action leader.

"The best one to break the deadlock is negotiation. We cannot use force here. Besides, even if we use our force to break the blocking, we might not win." Replies Tony.

"Under such circumstance, maybe our action leader can go out to negotiate with those aliens. You have experience." The captain tells the action leader. The action leader agrees.

"So, what should we do next?" Asks the captain.

"Our action leader can fly out by himself to have a spacewalk near our mother spaceship. Let us see what is the response from those aliens. If there is alien to go out, we succeed in the first step because there is a chance to have a face to face communication between the action leader and the alien." I suggest.

"OK, let us do it. Let our action leader to have a spacewalk near our mother spaceship. After a while, the action leader can fly towards those UFOs gradually. During the whole process, let us observe the responses from those aliens. If there is alien going out of their UFOs, our first step succeeds." Replies the captain.

"OK, Let me do some preparations first. I will fly out very soon." The action leader tells us and leaves the observation room.

Very soon, we see that the action leader has a spacewalk near our mother spaceship. After a while, he flies towards those UFOs.

This time, there is no connection between the action leader and our mother spaceship. He has a absolute free spacewalk. With the help from the single flying device on his back, the action leader flies closer and closer to the UFOs. Of course, we can still use our rescue net to rescue the action leader if he is really in trouble.

Not long later, there is an alien flying out of one of the UFOs. He flies towards our action leader. Finally, our action leader and the alien meet together in the middle of space.

"Look! Good news! The action leader actually meets the alien. There is a big chance for them to negotiate directly." Tony yells happily.

"This is a big successful step for us. No matter what, the spacewalk by our action leader is very useful this time." Mei yells to us happily.

"I am very happy, too. We succeed in the first step." I yell to everybody happily, too.

In the middle of space, the action leader takes out a drawing board to start drawing communication with the alien. After a long period of time, the action leader flies towards our mother spaceship while the alien flies towards the UFOs.

We all wait anxiously in the observation room for the action leader's coming back.

"As we suspect, our rescuing mission of those missing persons makes those aliens very angry." As soon as entering the observation room, the action leader tells us anxiously.

"What did you tell them?" Asks the captain.

"I apologized to them first." Replies the action leader in a hurry.

"That is good! That is good! What happened next?" Asks Tony in a hurry.

"Next, the alien asked me to hand those missing persons over to them again. After that, they could let us go home." The action leader answers.

"What is your answer?" Asks Mei.

"I told him that it was nature for us to return to earth. They should not block our way home. That alien made me understand that those missing persons killed some aliens and they should not be allowed to return to earth." Replies the action leader.

"Good answer! Good answer!" Tony tells everybody.

"I made the alien understand that those missing person had already be away from earth for more than twenty years. This punishment was long enough for those missing persons. They should not stop those missing persons from returning to earth. I also made the alien understand that if they needed some compensations, they could ask us. We would do our best to meet their requirements. I also made the alien understand that if there was a war between us and them here, it could be a catastrophe to the future relationship between us and the aliens. For the future to us and them, they should not block us going home." Replies the action leader.

"This is very good. What was his response?" I ask in a hurry.

"After getting my message, the aliens made me understand that he would discuss this issue with other aliens inside the UFOs. We will meet again to have the second negotiation in the middle of space tomorrow." Replies the action leader.

"This meeting result is excellent. If you meet the alien again tomorrow, there could be a very good result." The captain is very satisfied with this meeting.

Next day, our action leader has another spacewalk towards those blocking UFOs. He waits there for the alien coming.

Very soon, the alien flies out of an UFO and towards the action leader to have the second negotiation in the middle of space.

After a long communication, the action leader flies back to our mother spaceship and the alien flies towards his UFOs.

As soon as entering the observation room, the action leader smiles to us. We all know that the second space meeting gives us good result.

"Come here! Come here! Tell us all about the meeting. You are so happy. There must be some good results." Asks Tony in a hurry.

"Be patient. Sit down and tell us slowly." I say with smile.

"General speaking, those aliens agreed our consideration. They will let us go home very soon." Replies the action leader.

After the detail description, we know that those aliens will disband the UFO blocking line and let our mother spaceship return to earth. They also want us hand a smart robot over to them. Maybe they want to do some studies on the smart robot. They also want to have warm welcome when they visit our earth. Next time when we return to the planet, we should visit them in addition to visit those friendly aliens. They want to establish friendly relationship with us, too.

"Did you agree all of their requirements?" Asks Mei in a hurry.

"I did. Since our main problem had been solved, I promised them all of the requirements." The action leader answers.

"It is unfair to our smart robot. If we give them a smart robot, those aliens will disassemble it and destroy it. It is unfair to the smart robot." Mei replies unhappily.

"I can understand your feeling. We have emotion attachments to our smart robots. If we give one smart robot to those aliens, they will disassemble it. It will hurt our feelings. But still, it is better for us to keep one robot here than one nature person here."The captain says.

"I agree. This was what I thought during the meeting with the alien. If we did not meet their requirements, we could not allow us to return earth. We must check the balance and get the bigger one." Answers the action leader.

"Ok, I agree. We must protect the most important thing first. This time, let us deliver one smart robot to those aliens in order to go home safely. It is lucky that we can solve this crisis in this way." The captain makes the final decision.

"I have promise those aliens that tomorrow, we will deliver one smart robot to them. After receiving our smart robot, they will disband the UFOs blocking line and let our mother spaceship pass, returning to our earth." Says the action leader.

Next morning, after delivering one robot to those aliens, the UFOs leave. Our mother spaceship flies towards our earth in high speed. Finally, our mother spaceship lands on earth.

"Let everybody go home first. We will check our mother spaceship. After making another mission plan, I will contact everybody to come here again for returning to the planet to meet Lily and Sam." Before saying good bye to each other, the captain tells everybody.

The shuttle bus sends everybody to everybody's home. After returning to my working place, I share my experience of the space exploration with my colleagues with pleasure. My colleagues all like my story.
