Some asked why aliens weren’t here. Some said they have been here all along. The Bible speaks of the flaming chariot of God, and many other books speak of similar things. And in our own modern history, UFO reports have been common, if disbelieved. But what if they were true? What if they were here, watching us, helping us, using us? What if they were waiting until we had advanced enough to make Contact? And how will we react when we find the answer?
The Dutch used to prize their neutrality, until the Nazis came in and killed over two hundred thousand of them. After that, they decided to take sides. They jumped into The War real fast, and De Zeven Provinciën was one of the first to come. That was a real mouthful of a name though, so she picked Zoe. I always thought it was a good choice in a name. It means life. She worked to give her crew a good life, not just a good time. I appreciated the difference.
We visited Ife after The War. It was named in honor of the holy city and origin of the Yoruba people, the dominant power in Nigeria after they brought an end to half a millennium of Islamic Jihads. I help to take care of the Tree of Creation, a massive tree that symbolizes the birth of the Yoruba in ancient times. Under the branches of that tree, they welcome all the religions of the worlds to come and teach their Creation stories. I find the similarities amazing.
The Fermi Paradox asked why we hadn’t been Contacted. Some said that we had. Most of our older religions worshiped beings of great power that came from the sky. We called them gods. The worship of the gods, God, or even no God at all has dominated the path of our history. Civilizations have risen and fallen based on their beliefs, and few differences of opinion have been so explosive. Did we make them up, are they real, or were they simply aliens making Contact?
The Fins have a long history of fighting the Russians, being occupied by the Russians, rebelling from the Russians, and fighting them again. Shooting Russians is practically a national sport. So when the Russians entered The War, Finland joined in real quick. They sent a squadron to support us and Aneerin sent me to the Rauma. Named for some old Nordic seaport, that girl had fun going all Viking on us. She was a real spitfire that made us love coming home to her.
