Emergence Here Comes Earth Book 1 by William Lee Gordon Genre: Science Fiction
Where did mankind really come from? Why are we here? We can’t understand the past until we embrace the future. These critical mysteries take center stage as Earth emerges into a Galactic Society that is far more perilous than anyone could have imagined. Our history is far more complicated than we could have known. Can a few brilliant minds find a way out for Earth? One saving grace is that there are those that believe ancient clues foretell that Earth has a destiny, and if we can survive our present difficulties we might just find out what that destiny is… Dr. Mark Spencer was a young and up and coming history and anthropology professor who was all too familiar with what happens to less advanced civilizations when suddenly exposed to others of considerably higher technology. There’s only one survivor and the culture witnessing magic isn’t it. When modern day Earth suddenly finds itself on the losing end of that proposition a team of the world’s best scientists is put together to find a solution. Of course the advanced society being friendly, Earth’s citizens uniting, and the world’s politicians working together for the common good would help tremendously, but… what if none of that were true?

Operation: Broken Star
MISSION BRIEF
Classification: Ultra Secret Black Diamond
Authorization Status: Approved
Operational Priority: Level 1
Background:
(Excerpt from the report of the lead investigation team for the US Government):
What precipitated the Crazies was the most significant, shocking, bizarre, and tragic event in
human history…
By 2014, the U.S. government had finally authorized the privatization of boosting cargoes into
low earth orbit (LEO). Over the next decade as costs came down and commercial demands
for low gravity, perfect vacuum manufacturing environments rose, several multi-national
corporations cooperated in replacing the International Space Station with the world’s first truly
permanent space station, Laze Fair One. Home to almost 300 people, the huge construction
was mankind’s greatest achievement and source of pride – until it disappeared.
It didn’t break up. It didn’t crash or burn-up in reentry. It just… disappeared. Telemetry
monitoring stations sounded ‘lost signal’ alarms designed to warn bored technicians to pay
better attention and re-align their dishes… all to no avail. The station was simply gone.
It was almost two full days later that weak communications signals started coming in to radio
receivers all over the planet. On open circuits with the whole world listening, station personnel
reported an incredible story that was only believed because of the accompanying video,
telemetry, and the 54 minute 12 second delay in two-way communications; the station was
now in orbit around Neptune.
The station was designed to be as self-sufficient as possible, but at 30 AU from the sun and
with solar panels designed to operate at only one AU (note: one AU = the distance from the
Earth to the Sun), battery charge that was critical for heating, carbon dioxide scrubbers, and
other life-
support dwindled quickly. Top priority was given to reporting how an alien spacecraft had
appeared next to the station, somehow ‘bubbled’ it and then proceeded to tow it (at incredible
speed, invisibly, and with no change in inertia), and then abandon it at Neptune.
There was no possibility of rescue.
Once all the data, subjective observations, and informed speculation had been transmitted
from the station, the remaining few hours were spent with 279 people each taking time to tell
the rest of us goodbye. It is this investigator’s recommendation that when the world gets
around to erecting a memorial, this should be a looped video memoriam.
Additional Data:
(Highly Classified – Unknown to the public)
Major David Johansen, second in command of the station, managed to transmit a short burst
of encrypted data using a cipher that was only known to a close friend back on Earth. In this
burst, Commander Imbibe and Major Johansen forwarded a video communication that was
received by the station immediately before the alien ship left them at Neptune. This
transmission was received over the Commander’s supposedly secure emergency channel.
Fortunately, no other station personnel were aware of the message or its contents. It was only
23 seconds long, but what was interesting was that the background contained voices of what
was unmistakably a heated disagreement. Everything in that background was unintelligible
and definitely of an unknown language. The foreground was dominated by the head and
shoulders of an apparent female human being that mouthed one word before signing off. It
was Commander Imbibe’s opinion (which has subsequently been verified to 87% accuracy by
linguistic experts) that the one word mouthed by the alien was, “sorry.”
Subsequent Events:
(Highly Classified – Unknown to the public)
The leadership of six different countries (see addendum III) have been contacted by
representatives of the same race that abducted our space station. Citing another faction of
their race as the culprits of the abduction, this faction offers peace and friendship.
Mission Stipulation:
Despite appearances, this race is deemed alien with unknown intentions.
Mission Mandate:
A multi-national team is to be assembled under the mission name: Broken Star. It is the
mandate of this team to travel to the home worlds of the aliens and evaluate:
- The scope and sincerity of the offer.
- How advanced (in technology years) this civilization is.
- Identify and prioritize desirable technologies.
- The cost and limits (if any) on technology transfers.
- Identify what we have (if anything) that they want?
