A Plot In An Endonian Spaceship !
 

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…

About this essay

I wrote this essay for my application to UNITELE in 1998. Well, my results were not good I guess. That's why I was not accepted. Will try again in 2000.
