Meanwhile… #6
Why did these Earthlings prove so difficult?
This was the only thing on the mind of Zil Pralier, better known to the people he was investigating as The Star Champion. He had dropped the criminal he’d suspected of being a former test subject for his science team.
Zil Pralier was no man, as Pete Mackreely, or any of the other people of New Plymouth had suspected. He was an alien creature brought to Earth in search of test subject who had escaped the science vessel which he served on. Zil Pralier was a creature known as a Doilidion.
The Doil people were once in the same position as the planet Earth. They built massive cities to house all their forms of commerce and vice. They desired nothing more than to build bigger cities for a time. Then when they had built all they could, the wars began. Incredible wars over absolutely nothing. Armies were massed easily by informing the people of the Doil home world that commerce and vice were no longer important. The only thing that mattered was a massive death toll.
The wars caused factions to form. Four factions fought over nothing for generations, but that to came to an end. It came to an end when there were only twelve Doilidion’s left in the universe. They were three to each remaining faction.
They agreed to end the pointless warring and decided to work on developing a new society. One built on knowledge, peace, and understanding. They set about constructing a space vessel, to venture beyond the realm they had ruined over the countless generations.
Zil had been one of those few remaining Doilidions. They decided the first thing they needed to do to begin their new society was to learn a way to replicate their own life. Doilidion’s do not procreate. Before they ruined their home planet with pointless cities, they were born from the translucent pools of liquid that seemed to bubble forth from the planet’s core. When they built their endless cities, the pools of life were lost to them.
The Doilidion’s traveled across the stars in search of a new way to create life. Using their natural abilities of flight, camouflage, and strength, they were able to view many different creatures spread across many different planets. They found nothing advanced beyond the ability to hunt and forage, until they stumbled upon the planet Earth.
