The following is a short story about what transpired at EarthTR075.0849
This Earth was very similar to ours but in that reality no country had achieved chemical propulsion, so up to 1987 no one had really gone into space. This frustration kept many looking up into the skies, as if expecting an answer to fall down on their heads. Well it did.
Exactly at 3:14 A.M. on March 23rd of 1988 several countries, almost simultaneusly, beheld a massive spherical object on a slow trajectory to Earth. They immediately figured out that the object must have been made an intelligent life form, and almost all of the different nations decided that they would try and get a hold of it before the others did.
By the time the object was several million miles away from the orbit of Earth, EE.UU claimed it as theirs under penance of war. Well the Holy German Empire made a similar claim as well as the Republic Of China.
Since no one backed down, they started a horrible war. It ended when the Russians decided to atom the US and the US, almost immediately, sent a retaliatory strike at the Russians. The nuclear winter was over their heads in less than three months. By that time humanity was diminished to 1/3 of it´s original number.
The object, roughly 100 feet in diameter, swiftly landed in the Sahara Desert. Sadly there was no one there to witness it. The sphere, opened up its upper hemisphere and it started to broadcast a message that said, "Share and Do no harm unto your neighbor"
This message would repeat itself over and over until a sentient life form would get near it. The message has been broadcasted uninterruptedly for the last fourteen years.
I hope that does not happen to us in this world and in this forum.
Until later becomes now.
