Both Neva and Dio went to work immediately. Each of them took their turns, scanned the words and paired the respective words in the Alien language of Sanskrit. Thankfully, Sanskrit was heavily utilized in the latter half of the 21st Century for its linguistic roots corresponding to the fields in Artificial Intelligence. In no time, they cracked the code and programmed the scanners for translation. At that moment, we still had not solved the issue, nor had any ideas on the writings on the walls, but we were at least closer to the truth.

“So what do the words mean?” I asked. Seeing them scanning the texts and looking at the scanners made me curious as to what they were reading. I wished we brought more scanners so I could take part in it, but then was also glad we brought more than the bare minimum.

“This is not their planet,” said Neva.

“Yes. This is only a transit,” continued Dio.

“So where are they from?” I asked both of them.

“Another galaxy? Another dimension? Who knows?” shrugged Neva. “The texts are repeating the same information again and again. How to transport to another location from here. And how to treat the natives of this planet,”

“Natives?” I asked.

“Yes, these people are not the native of this planet. They called themselves as travelers. The writings told stories of how they landed on this planet eons ago, infused their genetics with the natives and built the pyramids. Then they left elsewhere. I am assuming their next destination was our home planet, Earth.”

“So what were they, what were their goal?” I asked, still didn’t catch the whole story. “They took over the planet and the natives and then left? What about plundering the resources of the planet?”

“Maybe, I am assuming a lot here. Maybe they were not intelligent. Maybe, they themselves were doing what ‘it’ designed them to do,” interrupted Dio. “Have any of you heard of the term called ‘Space Chicken’?”
