The traveler woke very early morning as per his old routine before crash and went through his rituals. He had told Wania not to disturb him during this time, so everything was quiet and very calm. The robots were also charging, so there was absolute silence all around.

The traveler, after his ablutions started of with recitation of Quran, then his nawafil, followed by Azkar, his routine for the last many decades. the routine was his spiritual life blood and source of his inner peace and calm. However, as soon as he started of, he felt a bit uneasy. There were many unwanted thoughts of despair, surfing and unrest in his mind. He tried again and again to concentrate, but the unwanted thoughts kept on increasing.
His Azkar routine always started with the Protection against Evil. Ayat ul Kursi, Sura Falk and Sura Naas and many more. After performing his Protection Azkaar, he suddenly felt light and without disturbance. He became quiet, and then had a eureka moment, he started off with the special protection Azkkar, invoked only in case of active Evil involvement. 228Please respect copyright.PENANADA2SmrYwHN

"No my child, do not fear" he smiled, seeing her alarmed. "You and your machines cannot detect them, nor harm them, as science has not been able to detect them using existing technology, one day it might, but for an Intelligent Species, which does not want to be contacted, experimentation and detection are both difficult"
"What species are you referring to.." She became wondrous. 228Please respect copyright.PENANAPqKseVpqwt
"The Species older than us, humans, and definitely much more older than you, the Sentient AIs"228Please respect copyright.PENANAeJA9OLzGzk

"I cannot guarantee that we will ever hear them again however, it has been many a times, in my life, that i have encountered them. Actually the maximum evidence is at thought process level. However, you cannot experience the same, as you do not have an actual human neural net. And while all humans have a working thought mechanism, most cannot train their brains to distinguish between outside and inside thoughts, let alone control their thought process , once the attack begins."228Please respect copyright.PENANA4tWB7o978O

"Scientists of 20th and 21st century kept on looking outward, without ever thinking that earth was old enough to evolve multiple sentient species, the earlier once. So crafty, that it eluded us till now".
"So why the Grand Islamic Scientific Counsel decided not to contact them?", She asked skeptically.
"They know better to disturb a species, which does not want to be disturbed. Also as sentient species, they have the right to keep to themselves, actually that is the only thing they hate most, to be disturbed".228Please respect copyright.PENANAgEYZUbQgcS
"Which we have probably done already", she was wide eyed, "I they are not a figment of you r imagination"

"What..." She was bewildered. "But why are they here on the Rock" 228Please respect copyright.PENANAipq5Vn4cVZ
