I don’t think this is nearly as good, I struggled bad with this one. I tried many different stories and view points but this was the best of what I had. Sorry if it doesn’t make much sense but this will be the last part.

Part 2:

Months had passed since ORBYT landed on a now desolate planet in Sector 2894726.

Jymnxis could only hope that this ORBYT device would restore their planet. With there being less than 200 survivors they had little hope. Now learning of the Logs from the Humanity Transmission and how the Zybrex use souls for their power, they weren’t sure that they would ever see their family again. Not in this life or the next.

“But why would they warn me. Why does it matter where the Zybrex are from? They still hurt hundreds of planets and harvested billions of souls.” Said Jymnxis.

They didn’t fully understand the warning from Humanity. They didn’t listen.

—————————————————————————

The Zybrex now used the ORBYT devices to gain useful information on the places they have harvested. They turned charity work that the humans had worked to hard for, into spies.

Now they know how many souls are ready for harvest on each planet these devices were sent too. ORBYT had been designed with a limited A.I. in order to interpret and analyze data, as well as answer questions regarding humanity and restoration. But they also were able to learn to repair themselves using planetary resources.

What was once a Holy Grail now had become the biggest weapon to the Zybrex. For centuries to come The Zybrex would laying still on earth, waiting to harvest. They had no need to live in space anymore, Earth was once again theirs. Now they just needed the energy to start their reconstruction and clean up from the amount of damage that humanity had caused Mother Earth. With ORBYT allowing them to observe when perfect harvest would be they had unlimited power.

————————————————————————— Jymnxis would have never understood the Zybrex purpose, in fact no species would. Their planet had been harvested 15 decades later again, Jymnxis being a casualty.

Today was the day. The Restart. The Zybrex had been planning this all along with Mother Earth as the vessel. The Zybrex were the true saviors. Earth had been cleansed of any filth that had been plaguing her surface, back to her true pure form. It was time.

The universe was so full of filth and war and hate but no one saw their own wrong doings. Entire galaxies dumping toxic waste to the universe. Using planets just for physical resources. Not knowing their true potential as they were limited by their wants. Power, wealth, immortality, plagued these civilizations, and still many. The universe needs fixed and The Zybrex found only way to do that was with The Restart.

With the machines powered, one switch turned, all the souls they had harvested, became a collective consciousness. One by one The Zybrex stepped into this to be united. The last 5 would sacrifice their eternity so that life would go on. They fused this consciousness with Mother Earth and in a split second there was only pure white. Bliss, safety and incorruptible energy.

From this energy the New Universe was created. New souls, new galaxies, new planets, and new resources. The Collective had decided this universe would be better, they would be unified. There would be no darkness and no corruption.

Welcome to the Puritan Age.

I thought about writing one but with the ending (being that the Zybrex come back to take over earth but never shutting down the ORBYT program and gaining knowledge of all of these species) I wasn’t sure if I could go anywhere with it. I could do a dialogue with Jymnxis and make something out of that but I’m not sure yet. If I do make one I will post it soon though!

Personal Log: Day 492

Today is the day. We find out if our Space VII transmissions were successfully able to be decoded and translated. It had been 3 years since the “crash” of Space VII was reported to the public, but those of us working the true case knew it wasn’t just a crash. They were warned to turn out of The Zyrbex Region but the president had ordered them to stay course. Within moments a gravitational wave with the force of a black hole had been unleashed upon the crew. All were immediately “lost to the stars” as the public knew.

Space VII had launched 15 years ago, I was part of the original launch team and one of the few left to receive their transmissions and communications. Within 3 years of the launch humanity had discovered that we were in fact not alone. March 19th, 2136; the day we discover alien life. Every horror movie about them had been right.

The Zybrex were ripping through the universe. Farming species after species, harvesting world after world. Leaving pure chaos and destruction in their wake. For the ones that survived there was no hope. We on Earth saw opportunity to help, and learn more about other species on the brink of extinction. From this, the program ORBYT was launched. ORBYT was designed to collect data first, analyze and interpret that data in order to best help the survivors rebuild. Charity’s all over the globe donating to build these devices to be sent to planets to start the rebuild, collect information on the species, but also deliver information about the human race.

Soon after the universe was notified of the human race and our efforts to help things went down hill fast. The Zybrex learned of our resources and our knowledge of the other species we attempted to help. In one day we lost 4.3 billion people. The blink of an eye, just like that gone. Their souls taken to power the Zybrex fleets.

The world was already devastated enough by the harvest, they did not need to be burdened with the true fate of the crew on Space VII.

Personal Log: Day 503

If I could go back 11 days and take back what I had learned I would. I admit that I have thought of a means to my end since reading and hearing the transmissions from Space VII on their tragic last day. What I have learned can never reach the public. There are already so few of us left since the harvest, we can’t afford to lose any more.

Part of the transmission is as follows:

“You know who we are. You know what we need, for we are you and you are we. Sacrifice the many to save the few, as so many years you Mother Earth have commanded us to do.”

You hear the captain gasp as they realize what this means. They ask the Zybrex to speak plainly if it may be the humans last moments, they wish to hear familiar words and sounds rather than decibels so low machines must be used to listen.

“We left Earth long before you ever launched your mission. Long before cars, and planes. We left after our monuments and equipment were built. Before the harvest and destruction, the pyramids were our beacons, Uluru our womb, the many falls, lakes, and seas were our communication pathways. We made Earth strong so one day we could come back to her. The souls we harvest now are fuel for the journey home.”

And with that a loud crunching sound. I knew that was the gravitational wave wreaking havoc aboard the ship. Emotions pained me. None of this seemed fair or right but the history all lined up, there was no denying it.

Based on the time of the transmission The Zybrex empire will be in Earths orbit in no less than 30 hours.

What am I supposed to do with 30 hours. I have no one left. There are 3 of us who maintain the machines and systems here. The world as we knew it before the harvest was gone. There would be no point to broadcast the impending doom that humanity is set to face. I just pray that whatever happens it is quick and painless.

I know what I can do. ORBYT will truly tell the universe who we are. This is your warning. We were all wrong.

Unknown amount of time later: “Humanity Transmission complete. ORBYT device is equipped with A.I. to answer any questions you may have about the human race. Are there any that you have at this time?”

“Uhhhhhh……. Yes and no,” said Jymnxis

“If there are no further questions ORBYT will begin assessment of species and you will be notified best course of action to proceed with rebuilding in approximately 4 hours.
