Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 15:36:26 -0700 From: John Black Subject: The Legacy of a Starman, Chapter 16. The Legacy of a Starman Chapter 16 "How do you think the people of Earth will take the news?" one of our condo-mates immediately asked. "You're a native. You grew up here. Whatcha think?" I had to reflect for a moment. This was a planet with nearly eight billion people on it. Attempting to parse out what they would think as a species was daunting. I decided to go with what I thought I knew and beg ignorance for the rest. "I think the western world will welcome the information after some initial skepticism. It does depend on the message and the video that accompanies it. And it will require pictures of the Alliance fleet that can't be faked. But, there will be a small minority of the population that will not accept the evidence, or the reality of the situation. They are beyond convincing because of their firmly held beliefs in their version of religion and their laughingly meager grip on facts that the rest of the planet has accepted for centuries. "The rigidly religious in other parts of the world will probably have the same reaction. Rather than question their religious tenets, they will attack and denigrate the reality of other beings from other planets. Again, those people are hopeless. "So, as a generalization, I think that Earth will welcome the news. That news must be followed up with more than just a message and a video, though. I don't know what the Alliance has in mind, but help in solving some of our most vexing problems concerning pollution, food, clean drinking water, and climate issues would be a welcome beginning. But, as the Council has said, Earth must solve its own political and social problems. With a clear path to membership in the Alliance, Earth will know what it must do to gain the advantages that the Alliance would grant." "I think you're right," Ford agreed. Our other condo-mates nodded, too. "Perhaps, our rose-colored glasses are on, but I truly believe that Earth will rise to the challenge and greet it with open arms," I smiled. We continued to watch the alien planet discovery news, but there was nothing new that was added. "Are you still up for some fun at the club?" Ford asked me. I smiled hungrily. "You know I am," I replied. "Let's go get ready. Maybe we'll be early enough that we'll get a room." Of course, we didn't leave right away. We needed to shower and get dressed, but we had to take time to fuck each other before we could leave. We also had to felch each other, due to the massive quantity of sperm both of us shot. It was the civilized thing to leave sperm for our future bed partners at the sex club to eat out. No one ever had an issue with eating ass and finding that sperm was an added bonus to the asshole licking. When we asked at the desk of the sex club, we were told that we got there just in time. There was a room available, but it was in a back hallway that was easy to get lost in. The two other rooms still available were much smaller and even harder to find. However, the room we chose was large and clean. I reminded Ford of our-rubber-band-on-the-doorknob arrangement. He pulled a rubber band out of his gym bag and smiled. "Ready!" he cackled. Starting our tour of the facilities, we went in opposite directions, hoping to meet near the sling room. However, before I got there, I found a man who needed to be bred. He was a short, white guy with an amazing bubble butt that needed some serious rimming and fucking. With his stated intent to get fucked by the biggest dicks at the sex club, I had to conclude that he was a dedicated, hungry bottom with a great deal of experience. He shouldn't have any trouble taking me up his ass. At our shared room, there was no rubber band greeting me. I ushered my new friend into the room and slipped the signal around the doorknob before closing the door. He dropped his towel on to the chair and crawled up on the bed on all fours. His ass wiggled in my direction invitingly. I knelt behind him on the floor and explored his asshole with my tongue. Immediately, I tasted man cream. "Preloaded!" I exulted. "Just the way I like it." I returned to my delicious rimming, savoring every dribble of cum that I could suck out of his well-fucked ass. "Any of your benefactors give you the dick that you wanted?" "One was well-hung, but the rest were about average," he said. "But, I do love to get bred, so I was okay with my big dick standard not being met every time. The dicks were hard and they satisfied my cream craving." "How many loads have you taken so far?" "Seven," he replied without a moment's hesitation. "But, two of the guys ate my ass out afterwards, so I don't know how much of those loads are still in my love tunnel." "When I finish with you, you'll have so much nutt in your butt that you'll have to rush to the men's room to abort all those babies I'm gonna shoot into you. Or, you can sit on my face and I'll take care of the surplus," I suggested. "I'd much rather sit on a face than a commode," he grinned. "Do you really nutt that much?" "I guarantee it." "Then, let's get to it!" he eagerly demanded. I stood behind him and slipped my fat dick against his ass opening. He was wet from my spit and previous loads. Easily, my dickhead disappear inside him. Several inches of thick shaft followed. "Fuck, YEAH! I love big dicks!" he groaned as he pushed his ass back against me, swallowing more of my long dick. "Give it all to me!" I instantly granted his wish. Deep inside him, I made my dick jerk hard several times. I wanted him to know he got a fat, long dick well up his love tunnel. He moaned with joy at each throb. "Is this about what you had in mind?" I smirked as I admired his beautifully shaped, hard bubble buns. "Fuck, yeah! I've needed a monster like yours deep in my hole for more than two weeks now. This really hits my spot," he concluded. He was working his ass muscles like a professional. There was little I could do to postpone giving him what he wanted. With a roar of pleasure, my dick fired repeatedly, flooding his deep recesses with my baby batter. He whimpered with glee as more sperm flooded into him. "Fuckin' HOT ass!" I bellowed and continued to pound his ass. His ass muscles squeezed and stroked my pistoning dick. He wanted every drop of sperm that my heavy, full balls could spray into his hungry, deep tunnel. My hips thrust and slammed against his hard ass. I couldn't get enough of this little man's amazing ass. When I finally withdrew, I immediately started felching his abused asshole. He relaxed and fed me my warm load. I loved felching a hard bubble butt like his. There was no reason to stop eating out his ass until he eventually pulled away with a hoarse warning that he was about to nutt. Moving my mouth beneath him, I twisted my head and captured the head of his dick. Almost instantly, I tasted man cream. He grunted and moaned with pleasure as he shot his load into my mouth. When he'd finished, I went back to his ass and combined his load with mine. With more felching, the moans from both of us echoed around the room. "An ass this sweet needs another load," I finally said. "You got more juice for me?" he asked. "You've recovered already?" he added incredulously. "Recovery time is usually around ten minutes, depending on what I'm doing in the meantime. Felching out a hot ass always inspires me to rise to the occasion earlier than normal," I revealed. "You know I love a big dick and a big load in my hole. So, mount and breed me again, Stud!" A heartfelt request like that had to be granted. Once more, I filled him up and felched him out. He squealed and carried on as loudly as the first time I pounded and bred his ass. Of course, I enjoyed it as much as he did. We parted on good terms with him going right at the hallway junction and I went left. Through the rabbit warren of hallways, I moved with purpose. I thought that Ford had to be in the sling room. He certainly hadn't come back to our shared room. Not more than 40 feet away, I noticed a man coming toward me who looked familiar. He smiled broadly and stopped me at the side of the hallway. "Long time, no see," he greeted me. "It's been years, but I still remember your monster dick and huge loads," he beamed. He held out his hand and I shook it. "Tyler," he reminded me. "Mike," I rejoined. "And I'd never forget a sweet ass like yours," I added. He did have a nice, muscle ass that probably used to be more slender and more of a bubble butt. However, I did have a thing for a big, muscle butt. They were always good eating, fucking, and felching. "Do you have a room?" I asked. He shook his head to the negative. "I got here too late." "Wanna go back to my room and review old times," I leered. He followed me back to our room. Placing the rubber band on the doorknob, I rimmed, fucked, flooded, and felched his ass. He did the same for me. By the time we were finished, he pulled me along to the shower room where I met his newest boyfriend. This was another man who looked familiar, but I didn't remember his name or his particular skill. While we showered, Tyler's new boyfriend ate our butts out. When I turned around, his big dick was staring at me. "Go for it," Tyler encouraged his boyfriend. I bent over farther and guided his big dick up my ass. "Yeah, fuck that black ass," I begged. He popped his load deep inside me in less than 20 seconds. Now, I remember not only his face and big dick, but also that he had a hair trigger for his climax. I also remember that he never shot much nutt; but his big, Latino dick did feel good in my ass. We parted amiably and I continued my search for Ford. Once again, I was delayed by someone who wanted me to fuck them in the hallway. He was a hot, black kid with a totally sweet bubble butt and a deep, hungry hole. I filled him up with a massive load of sperm and sent him on his way. As I passed by the glory-hole room, I had to stop. The place had been completely rearranged. Instead of glory-hole booths on both sides of the hallway within the large room, one side had been completely remodeled. It now boasted eight rim-chairs. The floor was cushioned, but the participants were encouraged to put a towel down. There was just enough room under the rim-chair for a man to get his head under. With a butt sitting on the makeshift toilet seat, this was a perfect set-up for rimming and felching. The rimmer lay on his back and did his best to rim or felch any ass that sat in the chair. On the wall at the feet of the rimmer was a plaque that could be flipped. One side read "Rimmer" while the other side read "Felcher". I'm not sure that it made much difference to the men doing the sitting or the men doing the rimming and felching. The rimmer/felcher was the person who decided which way the plaque should read. As I checked out the men on their backs, I immediately spied Ford. You couldn't mistake that tight, muscled body and amazingly big dick. His plaque was flipped to "Felcher". No surprise there. His dick was hard as steel and lazily dripping precum as he felched out the man sitting on the rim-chair. Ford's benefactor was a nice looking white boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a blissful smile. His body was good, but not great. And the noises he was making clearly showed that he was enjoying Ford's skills. I'm always in need of a good fuck from Ford, so I moved to the side of their makeshift stall, straddled his hips and sat on his mighty phallus. Damn! He felt so good when his dick was that hard and leaking so much precum. I moved my ass down all the way, impaling myself totally on his dick. With precision, I moved my ass in a small circle, stirring my love tunnel, and giving his dick a good squeeze with my ass muscles. Ford moaned at the stimulation to his dick and renewed his efforts to eat as much cum out of the ass sitting on his face. Three men were very happy with the situation. We kept up our sexual escapades for a couple more minutes. But, it couldn't last longer. The man sitting on Ford's face suddenly bellowed and his dick started firing his load, coating Ford's abs with his creamy discharge. My ministrations on Ford's hard dick were having the desired effect, too. In perfect time with the squirts of cum shooting from the blonde boy's dick, Ford shot another massive load up my hungry manhole. With his load successfully discharged, the blonde sighed and moved off Ford's face. Before anyone else moved into the blonde's position, I pulled off Ford's horse dick and moved to sit on his face. His eyes were closed as he relished the pleasure that I'd just given him. He didn't see who was sitting on his face, but he knew from the amount of sperm coursing into his mouth that it was the man who'd just taken his load. Ford made all kinds of piggy noises. Or was that me making all those pleasure piggy sounds? I watched other men sitting on faces and the prone men working any ass that sat on their face. Their hard dicks showed how much they enjoyed eating out ass. A couple of men copied my actions and moved to the hard dick that was available and sat on it. As more men did this, more men decided this was a very good idea. Soon, it was a half-room full of three-ways. I turned to look at the glory-hole side of the room. It wasn't very busy. And the few booths that were busy showed guys getting fucked. No one was getting a blowjob. As soon as they got bred, the men moved over to the rimmer/felcher side of the room and sat on the first available face. Clearly, this room was a winner! If we saw the bartender/owner again, we'd have to mention to him about the popularity of the rimmer/felcher side of the room. They may want to add more space for such activities. Ford's big dick was hard again, so I stood up and moved down his body to sit on his ass wrecker again. Once more, I squatted over his giant dick and sighed with pleasure as I engulfed the full length of it in one go. He groaned with pleasure, too. The Latino guy that I'd fucked earlier came into the room, spotted me and moved toward us. "I like this room!" he exulted, giving the room a quick scan. Immediately, he sat on the rim-chair and wiggled his ass until Ford's face connected to his hole. "You shot a massive load up my ass," he added. "And I need more face time to abort some of that flood of baby gravy you shot into me." He wiggled his ass, again and got a better position. Ford's tongue worked its magic on the Latin boy's hole, eliciting a moan of abject pleasure from both of them. My love tunnel worked and sucked on Ford's dick, caressing it and sucking on it. I could tell by his moans when I was getting him too close to his climax. But, I also knew that the longer I delayed his nutt, the bigger his load would be. If I could delay him another five minutes, I'd probably get a cup and a half of jizz instead of a little more than a cup. It would be worth the delay as I'd experienced it many times before. He was always very happy after shooting one of his massive loads that I'd forced him to delay. Not only was his climax enormous, but felching out my overflowing ass allowed his dick to recover in about five minutes instead of ten. That was just about enough time for him to eat most of his sperm from my hole before I sat on his big dick again. "I think my supply of butt jizz is low," the Latin boy said. He pulled off Ford's face, leaned in and gave me a kiss, turned around and sat on my dick. With Ford's horse dick in my butt and this kid's sweet hole sucking on my very hard dick, I was in the middle of a fuck sandwich that I loved to experience. But, it was too good to be true and I was far too close to the edge of my climax. I doubt that anyone minded, but I shot off my load just as Ford thrust his hips up hard against my hungry ass. I felt his male juices jet into me in cadence with the streams of my sperm racing into the Latin's hole. Ford held me in place so his dick could continue firing baby gravy up my hole; and I held the Latin down so he couldn't pull off my spasming baby-maker. The Latin kid moved to sit on Ford's face again, but I pushed him out of the way. Instantly, the man lying next to Ford begged the kid to sit on his face instead. "Gonna be a huge load, isn't it," the new benefactor observed. Once more, the guy looked familiar, so I knew he had to be someone from our past who had experienced our big, stallion loads. Before the Latin kid could object further, I squatted over Ford's face and got comfortable in the rim-chair. The jilted face-sitter shrugged and squatted over the face of the man next to us. The piggy sounds they made rivalled the ones that Ford and I were making. Other men in the room were equally as vocal for the same reason. About five minutes after he started felching my ass, Ford turned his head slightly aside and asked, "When are you gonna fuck my ass?" "Swap places with me first," I directed. We changed places and I tasted my cream from before we left the condo. And there was another load in there as well. It was just as creamy as mine. Ford wasn't about to give me five minutes to eat his ass out. He needed to get fucked! So, about two minutes after I had swapped positions, Ford quickly rose, turned around, and sat on my hard dick. "Ah," I moaned with pleasure. "You have the best ass for fucking," I sighed. "And breeding, I hope," Ford muttered as his speed and ass muscles kicked into high gear. I grabbed his ass and held him down as my hips rocketed upward and my dick began planting my seed as far as I could jet it up his ass. "Yeah, that's what I needed," he swooned. It was nearly a minute before my dick stopped jerking inside him. Ford lost no time in moving off my dick and on to my face. I thought that someone would have come over to sit on my face while I was fucking Ford, but everyone else in the room seemed to be busy with their own couplings. I wasn't disappointed. I needed Ford's ass on my face and didn't want to waste any time if I'd been servicing someone else's asshole. Now, this is more like it, I thought as my tongue speared his hole and released a torrent of my baby batter. I licked, rimmed, felched, swallowed and did it again and again. I loved the taste of his asshole and my creamy loads. Even though we'd being swapping nutt for the last nearly 20 years, I never tired of our sexual antics. However, there is a lot to be said for playing around with other men. I did miss the variety that Earth's looser sexual mores and habits allowed. After I'd felched him for several minutes, Ford got up and pulled me out from under the rim-chair. Ford was looking over my shoulder. So, I turned around and was mesmerized by the incredibly handsome, stunning man standing before us. His white towel was snuggly wrapped around him, well below his waist, but above his pubes. The giant bulge beneath the towel clearly indicated he enjoyed what he'd been watching. His dark features and hairy chest oozed masculinity. His goatee framed his mouth and chin to perfection. His dark eyes smoldered with lust. This dusky Adonis must have been at least 6'6" tall and weighed close to 250 pounds with muscles packed atop bulging muscles. Finally, he smiled at us. "That was a hot session," he said in a deep voice. Several men were gathered around him. All were admirers from the captivated looks on their faces, but he was judiciously ignoring them. "Are you interested in doing something similar with me?" I nodded vigorously, unable to form a complete sentence. Ford responded, "You're into fucking and felching?" He was looking for clarification just in case our mountain of a man missed some of what we'd been doing. "Oh, yes, very much into both," the tall man replied. "But, I'm not into an audience when I fuck around. Do you have a room? I got here too late to get one." Several of the men surrounding him volunteered their rooms, but he again ignored them. "We're sharing a room," I finally managed to say. "We'd love to have you join us," I added after I cast a glance in Ford's direction. Ford was just as enamored of this hot man as I was. He followed us to our room, with his big hands on both butts in front of him. He glared at his entourage and they backed off before we reached our room. As we got to our room, we introduced ourselves. His name was Alex. With the door closed behind us, he whipped off his towel. We disposed of our towels as well. The big bulge under the towel became a very thick, very long, and very hard dark dick. The foreskin was missing, but the long, thick fireman's helmet dickhead made up for it. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. His giant phallus was already at a 45 degree angle and rising. His big hands reached out and gently stroked our ragingly hard dicks. "Both of you like to fuck a big ass like mine, right?" he affirmed. We nodded dumbly. "Check this out," he added as he turned around and bent over. His hands left our dicks and spread his big, muscled ass melons. A dark manhole winked at us. "And you did say that you like to get fucked and felched," I recited as I fell to my knees and pressed my face between his glorious buns. He moaned with pleasure and moved one of his hands to the back of my head. I helped him out with both of my hands, spreading his ass cheeks for him. Ford hadn't been idle. When I knelt behind our giant friend, he had knelt before him and had stuffed as much of the big man's dick into Ford's talented mouth and throat. "This is so hot," Alex sighed. "I never thought I'd find two well-hung men in one night, let alone getting both of them to play with me at the same time." "You seemed to have quite a following," Ford said when he pulled off of the giant's dick. "Didn't any of them come close to what you were looking for?" "None of them interested me. Yeah, I could have fucked a couple of them, but that's not what I wanted. I need a big dick in my ass tonight. Two monster dicks are even better," he allowed. "Both of you need to fuck and breed me. And if you can get it up again, I want another load from both of you." "Uh, we'll have to take a small break between each breeding," Ford allowed. "You see, both of us nutt huge loads. We'd never get two loads up your ass without fucking out most of the previous load." "And because you enjoy a good felch, I think that's a solution to the problem," I volunteered. "Are you kidding me?" Alex asked incredulously. "You really nutt that much?" "Repeatedly," Ford assured him. "And with quick recoveries," I added. "How quick?" Alex wondered. "Usually in about 10 minutes," Ford asserted. I nodded my agreement. "You're puttin' me on!" "Who do you want to fuck you first? That'll prove the issue," Ford suggested. "Uh, how about you fuck me first," Alex directed looking at Ford. "And you fuck me," I smiled hopefully. "A fuck sandwich! Something I've always wanted to try," our new friend beamed. On the bed on my back, I pulled my knees into my chest. Alex immediately started felching out more of Ford's nutt. Meanwhile, Ford was eating out Alex's ass. But, Ford couldn't wait as long as Alex was. He needed to fuck that big muscle butt of Alex's before he sprayed his load on the floor. Alex had more control, so when Ford started to fuck him, he merely ate my ass out even more vigorously. However, Alex couldn't wait forever either, not with Ford's monster dick deep in his hungry ass. Rising to his full height, Alex plugged into my butt, slowly sinking the full length of his massive dick into me. I loved it! His dick was slightly thicker than Ford's and probably another inch longer. Accommodating him was a joy! And Alex moaned with as much pleasure as I did. Whether it was from getting fucked by Ford or pounding my butt, I didn't know or care. This was one of the best three-ways we'd ever had. Ford was the first one to lose it. With a bellow that could be heard several yards away, he climaxed hard into Alex's sweet ass. He bucked and sprayed, flooding Alex's deep ass with Ford's monster load. When Ford stopped pounding Alex's ass, Alex remarked, "You sure love fucking ass. And I could feel your jets of sperm racing into me. That was a big load delivered by a really big dick. I loved what you did. Anytime you wanna fuck me again and load my hole, just let me know." Ford smiled and said, "I'm gonna pull out in a couple of seconds. Be ready. I really filled you up." "That's not just your big dick that's filling my tunnel?" "Some of it is. But, when I pull out, it'll feel like you're about ready to burst," Ford assured him. "I was hoping that Mike would fuck me, too," Alex sighed. "Oh, I will. We'll just have to take a couple of minutes to felch out some of what Ford's shot in there," I said. "Otherwise, there'll be no room for my dick and my big load." At that moment, Ford withdrew from Alex's hole and moved around beside Alex. Our new friend bent down and engulfed the long, fat dick presented to him, licking off a large amount of dick gravy. I rolled off the bed and knelt behind Alex, sticking my tongue up his ass and felching out a delicious quantity of Ford's sperm. In less than a minute, I was on the verge of an involuntary climax. Quickly, I stood up and pushed my throbbing dick up Alex's ass. He moaned with pleasure and backed up on to me. Ford had moved to the bed and pulled his knees into his broad chest. Alex knew an invitation when he saw it. Dragging me along, he pushed his donkey dick into Ford with one slow descent. My pace slowed when I felt Alex's ass start to massage my stiff baby-maker. I didn't want to nutt yet. I was hoping I could wait until Alex fed Ford's ass before I added my cream to what Ford had already deposited into Alex. I held out as long as I could, but it couldn't have been more than a minute. I felt my nuts boil and knew my climax was seconds away. With a howl, I heard Alex climax and instantly felt his ass rhythmically squeeze and massage my dick. Perfect timing! With each jet of my cream blasting into Alex, I felt his balls kick another squirt into Ford. But, Alex's climax didn't last very long. However, mine sure did. I pounded his big muscle butt, shooting as deeply as I could and filling him up with what we both desired. Alex moved away slightly, so he could felch his load from Ford's ass. I did the same to Alex's ass. Moans and sighs of pleasure filled the room. Eventually, though, we stopped our sexual play and rested for a few minutes. That's when we found out that Alex was modeling for the same agency that we had. As we discussed the experiences we'd had as well as what Alex was finding, the communication devices that Ford and I carried from the Alliance sounded a tone. We read the message and put the device aside. The fleet would be earlier than expected, so the date of the big "reveal" would commence in two days. Final instructions would follow. As there was nothing we had to do about it right now, we invited Alex back to the condo for some all-night fun. He readily agreed. As much as Alex wanted us to fuck him all night, it couldn't happen. We shot far too much jizz for his love tunnel to take, and we recovered too quickly. His ass couldn't take the constant friction, as much as he wanted to. But, he did leave very satisfied and filled completely up with our nutt in both ends. He was also kind enough to fill our eager butts with his loads, even though they were 40 minutes apart. The following day, we waited for final instructions from the Alliance. They arrived in the late evening. "Messages from the Alliance to all inhabitants of this planet known as Earth will commence at noon GMT. Monitor communications from as many broadcast outlets as possible, especially from `official sources' to see how governments are reacting. On the next planetary day after initial general message to Earth, spend as much time as possible in public venues to gauge the reaction of the people. Change venues often. Continue monitoring broadcasts and official reactions from governments on a daily basis. But, most of your time should be spent listening and questioning the general populous. You will be given additional instructions three planetary days after initial message. End transmission." Noon GMT would mean 4:00 a.m. on the west coast of the U.S. The east coast of the U.S. would get the message just as they were preparing for their new day at 7:00 a.m. With consultation from the people who had been monitoring Earth for the Alliance, the Alliance had decided that the world should get the message on a Monday. That would give the governments of the world and the people a full work week to digest the amazing news. To my mind, I wasn't sure that it made any difference which day the message was received. That would be all everyone would be talking about regardless of the day or month. It was late spring, so I thought that was perfect timing: a time of renewal for the northern hemisphere with a more positive attitude toward the future as a result. The southern hemisphere had fewer people, but the message would be well received nonetheless. At precisely 4:00 a.m., all the broadcast channels on television and radio were interrupted for the Alliance message. The message ran approximately five minutes with a voice-over stating the first part of the message with the fleet arranged around the Earth as background. About half way through the Alliance broadcast, a being from our native planet (well, half of mine and all of Ford's) concluded the message. The admiral of the fleet had been chosen to deliver this part of the message. He had a benign countenance, despite his blue cast and ridge bones on his head. As the camera pulled away from his face, beings from other planets stood beside and behind him, demonstrating the breadth of the Alliance's reach of different planets. The message was repeated every hour for a full day. It had been translated into every language spoken on Earth. Even the television and radio broadcasts from the Alliance used the right language for the audience those channels and stations were trying to reach. After the first day of broadcasts, the message changed. This message was shorter and included an invitation to respond to the Alliance message from the United Nations. The Alliance didn't want to favor one nation over another. In order to join the Alliance, a unified planet was necessary. These two messages had made that very clear. Nevertheless, several governments tried to broadcast their response to the Alliance invitation, but each one was ignored. Finally, the governments did meet in General Assembly at the United Nations and drafted a response within a day. The Security Council agreed to the drafted response and the message was sent. The Alliance responded swiftly, welcoming the solicitous response and hoping for excellent relations with the Alliance. Once more, Earth was reminded of the conditions to join the Alliance. Meanwhile, the Alliance was willing to assist Earth in solving their climate change issues, food, and clean water problems. Again, the Alliance mentioned the population time-bomb that the Earth was facing. The Alliance had solutions, but only if the inhabitants of the Earth were ready for them. Additional technical assistance was granted so that Earth could see more clearly with their own technology (telescopes and space probes) how many planets existed in the galaxy and how many of those were occupied by sentient beings. Earth was reminded that the Alliance was not there to solve their social and political problems. Those were for Earth to resolve. An exchange of ambassadors was proposed by Earth, but rejected by the Alliance. The possibility of technological pollution to Earth couldn't be allowed. However, the Alliance was willing to maintain communication with the United Nations to foster good relations between the two parties. At no time did the Alliance admit that their representatives were on the planet. Several nations suspected that to be the case, but they had no basis in fact. The Alliance was asked about previous contacts with Earth by beings from other worlds, but the Alliance made clear that those were figments of overly active imaginations. Little grey men did exist, but they weren't space-faring beings and preferred their xenophobic, isolated existence. Meanwhile, Ford, our condo-mates, and I had been monitoring television and radio broadcasts. We'd also spent time at several markets, malls, and clubs. Consistently, the talk was about the alien contact. There were a few idiots spouting nonsense, but they generally kept their mouths shut as everyone else piled on them about what xenophobic Luddites they were. Overall, the response was positive with calls from all walks of life demanding that governments do something about climate change, clean drinking water, and food supply. Everyone pointed to the assistance promised by the Alliance. Currently there was no consensus about galloping population growth, but that would come. This story is fiction. Your life isn't.
