Earth-One

Two space-warriors from a team of explorers travel to 'Earth-One' where they study civilization ritual-dome and ward off an invading 'death' alien!

An 'organic' sci-fi/fantasy short-story inspired by Alien and K-PAX. Enjoy!

A unit of space-warriors were traveling around various planetary systems tracking a lethal hostile alien intelligence/creature called the Red Xenomorph (RX) which spewed an acidic saliva which exploded upon contact with any external/exterior surface or body! These space-warriors were often shaped as humanoids and in uniforms/helmets and were seeking all kinds of planetary colonies potentially threatened by the RX-alien and decided to create special inter-system evaluation reports, offering beings/humanoids around the universe plans for an alien-hygiene diagram.

The space-warriors were composed of multiple individuals and decided to divide into teams, with one team of two members, Amlan and Marcus ('Storm-Shadow' and 'Snake-Eyes') traveling to a faraway organic planet of blue color called Earth-One. On this planet, there was a developed capitalism-civilization but a very odd socialized ritual/behavior practice, which the space-warriors (Amlan/Marcus) decided to perform a special evaluation-report on and create a diorama about customs-peace!

AMLAN: We'll transform into humanoid diplomats and hide our spaceship in the Grand Canyon.

MARCUS: We'll perform our Earth-One anthropology-report in 'America' with the help of human-doctors.

Now, the space-warriors' spaceship the Nittorkeen was parked discreetly in the Grand Canyon, while Amlan/Marcus drew pictures of its interior for a presentation to humans on Planet Earth-One about potential 'science-fiction' fantasies about redesigned interiors of great space-travel comfort and/or experimentation.

AMLAN: The Nitorkeen will be safe here, and we'll continue our planet-system study!
MARCUS: Hopefully, this planet is not in environmental turbulence, so the Nitorkeen will remain intact.

Amlan/Marcus discovered that on this unusual planet 'Earth-One' (inhabited by 'humans') where capitalism-civilization was well-developed, there was an odd preference for expressive but child-like hairstyles and a strange ritualized discreet/religious art-practice of making paintings of females/human-women going to the lavatory. These 'artist-humans' on Earth-One considered this practice of women bathing or going to the bathroom for personal relief(s) as symbolic of species-aesthetics and professionalism.

AMLAN: We conclude these 'humans' on this planet Earth-One are invested in the meditations of female hygiene!
MARCUS: It seems this intensive/discreet 'lavatory-art' on Earth-One represents this species' interest in democracy.

However, all was not medical in paradise, as that lethal and frightening 'Red Xenomorph' (RX) alien with acidic/explosive saliva had followed the space-warriors (Amlan/Marcus) to Earth-One and discovered their parked/hidden space-ship the Nitorkeen in the Grand Canyon and decided to send a homing-signal from the Nitorkeen to lure the two valiant/analyst space-warriors back to the rugged terrain of the Grand Canyon for a chase-exercise in targeting-and-evasion!

AMLAN: We must destroy this invading Red Xenomorph before it scares 'humans' on Earth-One with its insect-dragon image.

MARCUS: We'll use our handy-dandy/nifty laser-guns with target-scopes to chase it around the Grand Canyon mazes!

Amlan/Marcus proceeded to chase this damn RX-alien for about two weeks around the mazes and channels of the rich/rugged Grand Canyon, determined to hide the lethal creature's existence/presence from the artistic/peaceful 'humans' of this unusual blue planet called Earth-One.

AMLAN: We've succeeded; the alien is dead; we're departing from Earth-One; our report is glorious.

MARCUS: Perhaps we'll find other planets of equal organic...dimension!
