Creative Writing - Fiction - The Future1
At the turn of the century, it was apparent that we, the human race, could no longer continue at the rate we were going. At several billion people, we were rapidly multiplying at an exponential rate. Scientists declared an international emergency because of drastic depleation of natural resources. It became obvious that in a few decades the continuation of the human way of life would be impossible if we did not find a solution to our problem. We needed more space for our species, and something with which to nourish them and keep them alive.Scientists began project 420, code named MIGRATE, in 2005. The objective of this effort was to explore then universe in which we live in search of a decent living environment for our future generations. In year 2020, a three-hundred ton missile was launched into space carrying ten scientists, two computer programmers, one archeologist, fifty military officers and soldiers, two mathmaticians, and two language experts (fluent in fourteen languages or more) from each major country: the USA, Belgium, Russia, Japan, China, England, Italy, and Israel. Ample food and fuel was also on board to sustain all of them for
Radio-waves were picked up from apparent life-forms all over the planet, refracted by the many unnatural satalites orbiting the planet. This appeared to be a planet inhabited with very intelligent life. Radio signals were collected and analyzed. Much debating among the mathematicians yielded the production of a program to decode what appeared to be radio-frequency modification using a base-eighteen number system. When radio frequencies were decoded in this way, the result was actually quite pleasing music. We had their mathematical system cracked. The time had come to communicate back. Radio frequencies were separated, and the humans decided to pirate the most pleasing music station. To make quite a long story short, the humans found their way in all-road vehicles to a nearby alien town, and managed to open a line of mathematical communication with several alien citizens. The language artists spent five years with the alien ambassador learning and recording their language (with several computer programmers) while the rest of the team explored the rest of the planet. The aliens communicated with each other that a new life-form had been found, and w
