Official Intelligent Beings: How Our Devices Became Us, And The World Consumed Itself Read Online Free PDF Page A

all the way out here to your planet, and you can’t even leave your galaxy, that our abilities for world destruction are far beyond your abilities to do much of anything. But that is not what we want. We hope to live in harmony with you. Yes, there will be some major adjustments. You’ll have to get used to changing your life around, to living with a race far more advanced than yours. I can’t deny that things won’t change, but at least you’ll have the chance to live, to learn, and to experience a new way of life from a race far more developed than yours.”
    “But our life is perfect here. We have the Beings to provide us with all we need. I don’t think you will be met with much acceptance from a world that already has it all figured out.” said Jagz, beginning to wonder why he was suddenly taking a stance for a society he didn’t even feel a part of.
    “You should consider yourselves lucky. As I said, if we choose to, we could easily destroy your planet and take it all for ourselves, but we do not want to do that. Your world might be sustainable, but don’t you want to thrive?”
    “I still don’t get what you really want from me.”
    “We want you to help us spread our message. We want you to speak the truth, to talk about what you’ve seen here, to let the world know that in one month’s time, we are coming to inhabit Earth, to live amongst your people. We don’t want to fight and take over. We want to bring peace and growth.”
    “Sounds nice and all but how am I supposed to trust you? And what more, if I did trust you, who would believe me? I mean, I may not be one of those perfect humans that takes their UrDg every morning and goes about life without a worry in the world, but who is to say that I am okay with you coming to our planet and doing as you please? You say you come with the intention of peace, but I don’t think we will be waiting with open arms. We will have arms alright, but they won’t be the kind you’ll want to be greeted with.”
    “Well Mr. Jagz, I do hope you’ll find it in you to see the reality of this situation. I can see how all of this may be overwhelming to you. How someone of your mind might not feel ready to lead your world and influence your people to create peace amongst us. In time, however, I do trust that you will begin to understand the importance of all of this. Let’s just hope it’s not too late,” he paused for a moment, staring hard into Jagz’s eyes, “for you, and everyone else.”

    “I want to be honest with you Jagz,” said Mr. Herd. “We were monitoring your contact with the Alien. I’m sure you can understand why. We downloaded footage of your conversation onto your device if you choose to share it at any point.”
    “Good to know. I figured as much.”
    “A necessary precaution. We knew it would be overwhelming for you and we wanted to make sure he didn’t do anything out of line.”
    “Crazy stuff, I have to say. Did you learn anything new from our conversation?”
    “Why yes we did. Initially, we were not fully sure of Ani Rudh’s plan and your involvement. But now we have a clear understanding. I have already relayed the message to those who needed to hear it.”
    “To those who needed to hear it? Do you mean the Official Intelligent Beings?”
    “Indeed. This may come as a shock to you, but we have been suspicious of alien activity for some time. The Beings have been gifting us with knowledge from both future and past. But we have a plan of action. The Beings have always been ready for the possibility of an intergalactic attack. Regardless of what he said to you, let me assure you, we won’t let their race come in like they own our world and walk all over us.”
    “But Ani Rudh claims that they do not want to fight, that they are here to live with us in peace.”
    “Oh my dear boy, I can promise you one thing, no matter what that alien told you, they do not come in peace.”
