The truth is that power and money tend to make people unscrupulous towards others. Let's take the prominent philanthropists. In reality, most are hobby do-gooders who primarily fund their own stage on which they can appear as benefactors. In a more just society, where not a few hold most of the power and money, charitable activities wouldn’t be needed." Naomi vents her anger. The first contact with the Illumis happened in space some weeks ago and it has turned out that humans are seen as having a faulty design. The deficient being 'human' has not only limitations in terms of physical abilities. Paul, the physicist of the first-generation ‘Gen 1’ of space researchers best known for his pioneering discoveries about antimatter, was the first to suggest that the Illumis had a reason for contacting the crew of the spaceshi

Demian turns sideways in his armchair and looks for something on the bookshelf.  "Yes, but what does that have to do with it now? I took care of the problem. It has been solved by my team," reminds Naomi.   Demian stands up and leaves the lounge area. He walks through the corridor of the ship. "I checked the routines again and the functionality. We were able to calibrate the translator on the common basic program bibliotheca to their form of communication. The bug is fixed, thank you. The Illumis have observed us humans since the earliest beginning and the malicious implementation of the bug was registered by them as typically human. They estimate humans as destructive beings driven by no need and in many cases of non conclusive reasons which could justify harmful behavior. The bug in th

"We waited so long for a sign of intelligent life in outer space and have overseen that the Illumis have been already living among us on earth. " Demian walks through the spaceship. It's a newer model with self adjusting rooms and corridors where the nine members of the research team have lived since they left earth six months ago. The video communicator-drone follows him and creates a film-like live stream with various close ups of Demian with changing focus on the face, his wild hair,  beard, or his fine slender but strong hands. The drone program edits the stream in thriller-mode selected by Demian to match the visual dramaturgy of the live video better with the occasion. The drone program cuts the video and includes scenes showing the ship inside in changing wide angle perspectives, recordings captured by the outer space cameras, and pictures of the Illumis such as the entities are cal
