Yazmina who was playing with Koda finally saw the other sorhebi arrive, as everyone had an hour break to recollect themselves for the day and spend time with their Sorhebi, eat, and bathe if need be. She splashed water on Koda and launched herself at him, she knocked him off his balance and he swatted at her playfully. Landon had landed first, he got off his sorhebi named Levi and went to greet her, “Yazmina, I’m guessing Adam is with Sammy?”.
Yasmina nodded and said, “Yeah they went on a little flying exercise, they are gonna join us soon”.Landon nodded and turned back to his sorhebi, To his surprise Levi tackled him into the water. Yazmina laughed and Koda did the exact same thing Levi did, Landon laughed back at her and tackled Levi playfully.
After a few minutes, she let Koda go catch his fish and she sat down to watch him, landon approached her and said “May I sit with you?”.Yazmina nodded and asked, “What can I help you with”.Landon sighed and said, “I was wondering what you have gotten out of the alien? any key details or giveaways?”. She sat back and said, “Well, Sammy has confirmed that he’s harmless and does not have any special powers, he has not been talking so Sammy is trying to get him more comfortable so we can learn more about where he comes from”.
Landon nodded and then said “Um isn’t that Yelana?”, she looked in the direction he was looking and could see Yelana with Adam on her back. As they got closer she did not sense any sign of her sister so once they landed she ran over there and asked in English, “Adam, where is Sammy?”. Adam looked traumatized as he was shaking and had a look like he had seen a fugato. Adam had gotten down and said, “S..something knocked us down from the sky, a large and long creature with a big snout.
Sammy put me on her and I’m guessing is facing that terrifying creature right now. She sent us away”.His voice was shaky and Yasmina knew what he was describing, she looked to London and asked him “Can you send an attack patrol towards Sammy?”. He nodded and called it in on his walkie-talkie.
She then went up to Yelana and told her to go back to Sammy, Yelana took off and headed back into that direction, she looked back at adam and sighed. “Lets take you back to the base, as you have a lot of questioning ahead of you”.
She wisled to Koda who was chewing on a fish, he came at her call and let yazmina and adam get on.She called to landon and said “alright meet yall at base later, gonna go get some info and ill report back”. Landon nodded and bekonded her to go. They took off and Adam clung to her as Koda reached the ideal altitude. Once they got back to base, she put koda up and lead Adam to a room just for him.
She had him sat down and asked “Where you do you come from? And why are you here?”.Adam had taken a moment to choose his words carefully, he said “I come from a planet named earth, One of the leaders of earth had sent me to ….. sent me hear to check if there was life on the planet”.She was skeptical but wrote it down, she had brought a note book to write down notes and ke to information. She asked “does earth consist of your kind only? Or are there more than one Primate?”. Adam said “We are the only intelligent species on the earth, most of them consist of male and Yazmina wrote this down and also asked “Who is your leader you mentioned?”.
Adam answered with “We call her the President, she's a person in power that controls a certain Territory on earth. Her name is Merida”. Adam told her more details about how they work as a planet, he also told her about there tradions.He seemed proud of his planet, she kept notes and gave him a break from questioning. Adam then asked her “Hey, I am a little hungry as I haven’t eaten in a while, if it wouldn’t be a bother can I have something to eat?”.Yazmina said “ah sure, let me call tom and ill have him bring something”.She got up and opened the door, she raised her voice and said “toooom, get your ass down here”.
The only reason why Tom was not out playing with his sorhebi was because they always left one person behind at the base, usually picked by a random machine and it was his turn. She heard a faint “for God’s sake” and then some running down the hall. She recognized his grey face and dark blue curly hair, she could tell he was annoyed by the way his pupils were and his blue fluffy tail whipped around in annoyance. Once he stopped and breathed in Yazmina said “I heard that, can you go to the fridge and get our friend here some fruit.
He is hungry and It would be great if you could do it”.Tom rolled his eyes and said “Sure sure, let me go get it for you”, he ran back down the hall, and to the right she could faintly hear “Your Majesty”.Yazmina chuckled and went back into the room, where Adam was. Elvis had just woken up, he was brought back with them because Adam did not wanna leave him. Elvis stretched out and looked around, he saw Adam and jumped up to his lap, and settled down making that purring sound.
Once Tom came back he knocked on the door and Yazmina got up to open the door, he said in a “royal pain in the ass” voice.“Here you go, oh great general, I hope it satisfies thy hunger it would please me so so much”, He bowed and showed the plate of fruit, Yazmina laughed and said back “Hah yes peasant, thank you for your contribution in this trivial task, you will be greatly rewarded with such respect”.
She also bowed and put her hand on her chest to express her gratitude. She took the plate and looked back at Adam who had a confused look, he had no idea what they said so it was a little expected. She handed him the plate of berries and crackers, they were called wakaton berries, very sweet but pretty nutritious. Adam was hesitant but took a bite, his eyes lit up, and made an “mmmm” sound.
She smiled and watched him devour his food, Tom turned to her and asked “So what the deal with you and Mr.Landon? I mean he’s so in love with you like-”, Yasmina raised an eyebrow and said, “Landon? really? my boss? no hah you're funny. It’s not possible, we are friends nothing more”.
She did not like talking about it, as Landon was her boss and she did not see how they could make it work, she was a Christian and one of the keno’s holidays only consisted of couples that had to participate so she did not want to date right now to go through that drama. She then tried to change the subject, “Okay then what about you and Elizebeth huh? I can see you too are heading to the love boat”.Tom raised his eyebrow and said, “I see you changing the subject, but Elizabeth asked me out yesterday. Pretty excited and I’m going to take her to the Umasakbe grill”.
As they were talking Yasmina kept an eye on Adam and watched his moves, she did not trust him fully yet as he did show up by himself without Sammy on her sorhebi so it made her suspicious. A sudden loud alarm went off, the lights went off and a blue dim replaced the lights. It signaled code blue as someone was trying to hack into their mainframe.
She told Adam to stay while they dealt with it, Tom nodded his head to her and they both closed the door and then started to run towards the server room. They skid across the floor as they tuned into a different hallway and ran full speed down to the red door with “staff members only”.
Once they reached the door she fumbled with her key card and swiped the card to get in. There was a large screen in the middle of multiple screens on the sides for the workers to update stuff in their system. It was a bluely dimmed room until a message in English flashed on the big screen saying “pre-recorded message”.Tom’s eyes followed it but he couldn’t understand it so he asked: “What does it say?”.Yazmina said “Pre-recorded message, meaning someone hacked in to leave us a message”.
Tom got out on his walkie-talkie, he switched on the channel that broadcasted it to all members, Speaking into it “We have a code Blue, I repeat a code blue. All essential personnel please return to base.” Yazmina did not want to mess with the video until Landon and Landon’s Boss. They both waited about 20 minutes before everyone came rushing into the room. All of the server workers returned to their seats and started to decode where the message came from.
Landon rushed to Tom and asked, “What’s going on? Did they bring anything offline?”. Tom simply pointed up to the large screen with the flashing letters “Pre-recorded message”, Landon looked to Yazmina who was talking to one of the server workers, telling them everything. She saw Landon’s stare and looked up to the screen, she said “Oh, it means pre-record message, I’m pretty sure someone is leaving us a message. Do you wanna play the video?”.
Landon nodded and looked at the screen, Yazmina beckoned the worker named Chloe to turn it on, With a click of a button the video started to play. A Black haired lady with blue eyes appeared on the screen, she said with a bone-chilling voice “Hello, I am Merida, Once of many leaders on earth. We had sent a shuttle to make peace with y’all, yet what I have heard has been heat breaking.
You have captured one of my own and killed off the rest, This makes you a threat and as such will be dealt with as one. We will be sending another shuttle in a week to retrieve the one you captured, If they don’t come back then it will be seen as a deceleration of war. Again one more time, I will rage war if that shuttle does not come back.”
Everyone looked to Yazmina who was speechless, as the message was in English and she was the only one who spoke English. She looked too Landon and before she got to speak chloe said “I have found the origins of the video, it was sent from a planet called earth.
It’s not too far from our planet.” Yazmina sighed and said “Her name was Merida, she's one of the many leaders from Earth. She somehow found out about how her shuttle was attacked and that we captured Adam. She said she will send another shuttle for Adam and if it does not come back…..She will rage war on Bishingo”.There was a deathly silence in the room as everyone processed what she had said, Landon then said with a chilling voice “Then we must prepare for War”
People around her gasped and Landon sighed, He called one of the personnel in the room and asked "Please contact Nanatome, we need their aid in this endeavor". They rushed out of the room, then Landon called over Chloe and said " I need you to call Anomutaka's government and notify them of this, see if they are willing to aid us as well".
Chloe rushed back to her monitor and using the government emergency phone she called them. Yazmina looked over to Landon and asked "I can get in contact with the Kingdom of Borumia, or Danofuno. I have worked with their governments before". Landon turned to her; his scaly tail swishing behind him, "You can contact Danofuno, I can get a hold of Borumia". She nodded and everyone got busy. Throughout the day she has been checking up with others and making sure they did their jobs, once it was around the right time to call Danofuno she went to her office.
Yazmina stood in front of the large communication console, her hands steady but her heart beating like a war drum. Here is the rewritten scene with all the context you provided: only Yazmina, Landon, and Sammy know Adam is from Earth, the rest of the base believes he’s an alien from another planet, and now Yazmina must contact Atasi (the leader of Danofuno) without revealing sensitive details to those around her.
Yazmina paced in her quarters, her heart pounding as the weight of the pre-recorded message settled over her. The words of Earth’s president—Merida—still rang in her ears: “We will be sending another shuttle in a week to retrieve the one you captured. If they don’t come back, it will be seen as a declaration of war.” Yazmina didn’t have the luxury of time or confusion. She had to act—and fast. But delicately. Very few people on this planet knew what they were dealing with. She couldn’t risk mass panic, or worse—leaking classified information that could tip Earth off even further.
She sat at her console, the secure connection pad glowing softly in front of her. Landon had gone to contact Borumia’s high council, and Chloe was still reaching out to Anomutaka’s defense liaison. Yazmina had one job—to reach out to Danofuno, specifically Atasi, their regal yet cunning leader. A soft knock at her door interrupted her just as she began inputting the encryption code. “Come in,” she called. It was Tom, his tail flicking behind him, expression uncertain.
You sure you want to do this alone?” he asked. “I could stay and—” “No,” Yazmina interrupted gently. “This is a personal call. Governmental. I’ve worked with Atasi before. I’ll handle it.” He nodded, though suspicious. “Alright. If you need backup, you know where to find me.” The door closed behind him, and Yazmina activated the encrypted channel.
A rotating symbol shimmered on the screen as the call was relayed through Danofuno’s government servers. After nearly two minutes, a regal figure appeared on the screen—Atasi. She sat in her ornate throne room, clad in fine robes stitched with metallic threads. Her violet eyes narrowed slightly at the surprise call.
“Yazmina,” Atasi said, voice smooth like running water. “To what do I owe the pleasure? Is this another training request for your soldiers?” Yazmina took a steady breath and smiled politely. “I wish it were that simple, Atasi. I’m afraid I bring troubling news. We’ve received a threat—one that may escalate into war if we do not prepare.” Atasi leaned in, her tone sharpening. “War? From whom?” Yazmina hesitated.
She knew what she could and couldn’t say. “A highly advanced civilization. One we were unaware of until recently. They call themselves the Terrans. They sent a probe—manned. One of their agents landed near our base, and… we captured him before he could vanish into our territory.” Atasi arched a brow. “Terrans? This is new. Why haven’t I heard of them before? Do they hail from the Ankara Belt?” “No,” Yazmina replied, voice quiet. “They come from beyond our system. A planet called Earth.” Atasi tilted her head. “Beyond the Belt? That’s unprecedented.” Her tone shifted from curiosity to suspicion. “How long have you known about this?”
Yazmina’s lips tightened. “A week. We kept the matter classified to avoid widespread panic and to ensure that our first impressions of this species were accurate. Only a few of us have interacted with the being—his name is Adam. He’s not hostile… but his people—his government—are.” Atasi frowned, digesting this. “And now… the threat?” Yazmina nodded. “His leader, a woman named Merida, somehow learned that her scout was captured. She has sent a warning: return him within a week or face full-scale war.”
There was a long pause. Then Atasi leaned back. “You want Danofuno’s aid.” “Yes,” Yazmina said. “If it comes to conflict, we cannot face this alone. Their technology is foreign, and unpredictable. We don’t yet understand their full capabilities.” Atasi studied her for a moment, then said, “Why should we get involved in a conflict based on your region’s decision to detain a visitor?” Yazmina looked her directly in the eye. “Because if they come for us and succeed, Danofuno will be next.
They have spacefaring technology, advanced weaponry, and a history of colonization. Earth has likely sent scouts to other locations too—we may have just been the first to intercept them. Helping us is helping yourselves.” Atasi went quiet. “Send me a file,” she finally said. “A report on their biology, culture, military capabilities—whatever you’ve gathered. I will call my council.”
“I’ll have it sent immediately,” Yazmina said, already tapping out a command for a redacted dossier. She kept any mention of Adam’s Earth origin classified for public record, listing his species only as a “Terran-class foreign entity.” “You’ll have our answer by sunrise,” Atasi said. Before Yazmina could respond, Atasi added, “And Yazmina… if this Terran war comes, I expect you to fight it at our side, not just behind your walls.” “You have my word,” Yazmina said firmly. “Thank you.” The call disconnected.
Yazmina slumped back in her chair, exhaling deeply. The weight of keeping secrets—balancing the truth with tactical omission—burned behind her eyes. She rubbed her temples and stood. She stepped out into the corridor. Outside, soldiers were moving swiftly between stations, emergency drills were being run, and patrols were preparing to launch.
Landon walked toward her from the opposite end, a tablet in hand and his expression grim. “Borumia is on standby,” he said. “They’ll aid us if the shuttle arrives and they confirm the threat. Typical political caution.” “Danofuno is reviewing the data,” Yazmina reported. “Atasi seemed receptive. We should hear back soon.”
