Were Aliens Trying to Warn us?
Now that the dust has settled a bit on the 2170 Virus and people are leaning into their new isolation habits, news stories that have been overshadowed by the deathly threat are resurfacing.
One such story was the tablets with the alien writing that our personal recycling devices spouted a few weeks ago. Many are now speculating about the connection between the tablets and the current pandemic.
Some have gone so far as to suggest that the aliens were trying to send a recipe for a vaccine or an anecdote. Others believe it’s simply a warning of what’s yet to come.
But another theory floating around is that the foreign life forms may have been requesting to land and that the writing on the tablets was just a very lovely card. Of course, yet another group still believe these tablets to be the new Ten Commandments and are scrambling to figure out what they shalt do.
So far, linguistic professors worldwide have only been able to agree on the translation of one symbol. The squiggly round one with the pointy hat-ish thingy, which they believe to mean “lots”. This is perhaps too small a piece of this puzzle to assume an answer.
But many organic beings and half organic beings, are still asking: “If they did have an intent on visiting us, what will they think when no organic beings come to greet them, due to the virus? Will they think we’re just a pure tech-dominated nation? Will our organic identity blow in the wind? If we do come out in our masks, will they think that’s how we look? It may scare the aliens and then they would not return.”
Some are even concerned that we might give the virus to the aliens when they arrive and that we would have no way of warning them. They may then continue their travels and unknowingly disperse the virus throughout the galaxy, killing all life forms before we even got a chance to meet them.
Scientists have responded in kind, saying, that it is too soon to be so bummbed about something we don’t know, and that perhaps, the isolation is getting to us all.
Governments of the globe also sent a united message, stating: “If aliens land here, we will all greet them, techs and organics alike. Furthermore, friendly-looking masks can be created and “lots” of cookies served to make it all the more pleasant.
