High
above the Earth is a starship from the Adrome Galaxy; two
gray big-eyed aliens stand gazing out a viewport at the brilliant
blue orb below them. They are intergalactic scouts, sent from
the planet Endon to gather information on this strange and
unique civilization recently discovered by Endonian astronomers.
Zobob, a high-ranking military officer, has the task of studying
the Earth’s military tactical and strengths. Zillo, an Endonian
anthropologist, has been assigned to gather all possible information
concerning Earth’s cultures.
“Well,
Zillo, my task are nearly completed. It has been quite an
easy task to monitor and study the Earthling’s military activities
here. But your task intrigues me, Zillo. Just how are you
going to gather information regarding this strange and unique
culture?”
“Hmm…I
have decided that the best way to do this will be to replace
an entrant into an Earth ‘university’ with one of our latest
robotic spy clones.”
“University?”
Zobob questions abrubtly.
“Yes,
a “university” where the Earthmen go for learning. Errr…something
like our Scholar Academy back in Endon. This will surely provide
us with sufficient information without being detected and
causing any undue alarm among the Earth creatures. Hopefully,
they will never notice the switch,” replied Zillo.
“Am
I to assume that you have already found a suitable candidate
for replacement?”
“Yes,
Zobob. He is called Kee Sitt, and is a student to the institute
of learning the Earthlings call ‘UNITELE’.”
“Ah,
yes…’UNITELE’…I have heard that name mentioned in the Earthmen
transmissions. It would be quite an accomplishment to have
our agent inside such a place.
“Hmmm…what
are the characteristic of this creature?”
“Physically,
this earthling is classified under the ‘male’ category and
he is 165 Earth ‘centimeters’ tall. He has dark brown eyes
and black hair. According to his profile stored in our database,
he is aged 19 Earth years. I found out that this creature
seems to get involve in things related to a machine called
‘computer’. He started to learn the ‘computer’ at a young
Earth age of 9. He is the third ‘son’ in his family. In addition,
our latest information about this creature was his ‘father’
owns a ‘Electrical Engineering’ company.”
“This
creature sounds like a good candidate. Tell me…what else does
this creature do?”
“He
is currently an active member of the Malaysian Internet User
Group. He was elected to be the ‘Webmaster’. His duties are
to administrate ‘Website’ for the ‘society’ and to update
them as frequent as possible. He also represents the other
‘Webmasters’ in dealing with other Earthlings called ‘Committee
Members’. I am amazed that this creature involves himself
a lot on this large network of protocols the Earthlings called
‘Internet”. He was also elected to be a ‘Community Leader’
at the world largest free ‘homepage’ provider called ‘Geocities’
based geographically in the United States of America.”
“What
else does this unique creature knows?”
“He
spends his free time attached to a thing called ‘guitar,’
creating weird and chilling sound. He even can play things
like ‘bagpipe’ and ‘drums’. “
“A
‘bagpipe’? I heard that these things are played in the West
part of the Earth. How did he get to learn that in the East?”
“Ooh…this creature was involved in what they called a ‘marching
band’ in his secondary school. He plays the ‘bagpipe’ as he
marches with a group of Earthlings creating wonderful melody.
Other Earthlings looked up to him as a senior in the ‘marching
band’.”
“Uhuh…When
shall we instruct the our technicians back in Endon to begin
the construction of an android to replace him?”
“I think it would be wise, to return home and be patience
awhile.”
“Hmm…patience then I would be. But I am wondering what will
happen to the original Kee Sitt after we do the switch?”
“I
was contemplating depositing him in the interplanetary zoo
on Endon. He has several other talents, which might be interesting
to visitors there. He likes to ride a device called a ‘bicycle’.
He also can do a thing called ‘swimming’ where he moves around
in ‘water’. An exhibit like that could cause larger sensation
than our spacecar race. We would be two extremely rich Endonian
for capturing such a one.”
“I
am impressed, Zillo, you are shrewder than I had previously
thought. But as you said, we must wait for several Earth ‘months’.
Let us head home.”
“Yes,
Zobob. I long to breathe the sweet, fresh methane of our atmosphere
again.”
The
two aliens proceed with their craft out of orbit and head
back into the inky blackness of space…
