“.. Earth,” Neva completed his sentence by himself, though all of us knew by then what he would say. The implication of the findings was beyond any of us. We were not merely at an alien planet to escape our dying planet, but we have returned home. Earth was the alien planet which we colonized and assimilated with native species thousands of years ago. That would also explain great many things such as why we could open the locks with our hands and why there was a pyramid in the middle of the alien city underground.

As we looked around with the new knowledge, the buildings, architecture reminded us of the greatest cities on Earth during the early 21st Century such as New York, Shanghai, London. We found and landed on the planet most suitable for mankind other than Earth, not by chance, but because we originated from it. The thought of it shook us to the core, and we stood silent, unable to move from our spots. Then an alarm sounded, and it was from my belt. I had set the alarm to ring 10 hours before the main ship had arrived in orbit and it had activated.

“OK People. Remember, our goal is to find out are there any dangers to colonizing this planet. Let’s focus. I want everyone to move and spread around for any clues. There could be defense mechanisms to prevent any intruders.” As we increased our pace and gotten closer to the pyramid, we heard various noises in our head. At first we thought the noises were because of the signals emitting from the pyramid, but as we got closer, we realized that they were human thoughts, our own thoughts in our heads but heard by all.

“So, now we can read each other’s thoughts?,” asked Dio incredulously.

“Yes, it would seem so. And I might explain why,” replied Neva. “We are now at the edges of the glow that coming from the pyramid. That might explain a lot of stories and myths about these pyramids in ancient Egypt.”

“That god built them and somehow the gods can do miracles? That’s nonsense. No such beings as gods,” retorted Dio for whom religion was of his gun.
