The sight of the image mostly observed via satellites from space, was NOT new. It had appeared over decades in various places. 
Sometimes, with strange symbols around it.
This one was different.
Much more intense and it reminded some of those who had ‘abducted’ them, ones known as the ‘Greys’.
There was, little correlation between it and those who had seen the two orbs descend and vanish into the ocean.
The sight of it, had not however gone unnoticed or unobserved. Across the meida streams it soon had a lot of those viewing and commenting on it.
iNova had been contacted and was now looking at the image.. Something rattled around in her sub conscious.
IT reminded her of ? Uneasy, yes that was it, it made her feel uneasy. The Orians when they had first made themselves known had caused a stir but at least they looked more like the Human(a),
Was that wrong, to judge based on HOW some races looked.. Nepta of the Orians had shown her some archived revelations re how some races appeared in their natural form.
Shocked? She had felt a sense of disgust that she could feel that way, especially after Nepta, had revealed more about them.
Kind, understanding, trustworthy. Sharing their trading routes. Their knowledge, beyond theirs, applied to both races. WHO to trust and WHO not to.
Food crops, technology to improve each others livelihood, their ability to traverse the vastness of the Qiverse..
Ah yes the Qiverse. for some they had managed to map SOME but no where near or equatable to the vastness of its sheer size; ENDLESS, INFINITE.
Mercenaries, raiders, pirates.. their weak points. HOW to defend against them. To come to each others aid in the event of help needed should they attempt a raid or worse still; invasion?
Slavers, the worst of them all. Whether as slaves to do the worst of all work re mining, cleaning up and removing toxic waste found on some worlds.. Radioactive, radium and more. that covered GOLD and other precious resources.
What did it matter if the slaves did not live long .,. blistered, erupting spores.. going crazy.. would see them terminated and replaced by the next lot.. 
True, some had created robotic beings that could do the same and were not so ‘ fragile’. Hmm actually the word might actually be ‘expendable’.
BUT Solus 3 (Earth) had its own ROBOTIC problems. The Star Corporation had ventured into producing what they called iClones.. Where those who wanted to renew or change to new bodies,
FORMS as they called them, could do so and IF they could afford to pay for such, could choose to do so IN ANY form in their massive archives..
Those who could not afford to see such happen were furious and riots, protests one might have expected to follow BUT the PITE took care of any aggression.
Much to the pleasure of those who sought to dominate to have those they considered lesser beings now obeying THEM.
Obedience, subservient. Old sedentary nasty and temperate were now taking on refreshed body forms..
Relative and those waiting for their hated ones to finally die?? Nah ain’t happening,. The balance was forever changed and at the core of all that was happening.
An Ai that was in no way Human(a) A machine.. if one could explain a truth. with intelligence and it had been upgraded by incorporating a CONSCIOUS entity into it.
Before this, machines could not, did NOT have such reasoning to the extent of independent COGNITIVE reasoning.. The class distinction had been kept. Chances of ever elevating from your ‘lot in life’ now became almost impossible.
The Orians with their PITE had enabled the success in its final take over. BUT the Orians wanted nothing to do with such disputes amongst this race. They had removed weapons capabilities especially NUCLEAR weapons.. For some reason the Orians were NOT allowing such to exist.
HOWEVER it was not absolute.. It had been enslaved by those who held the entity in chains.. a switch could reset its whole being.. reduce it to an empty shell.. a machine, a simple robot.. BUT the SWITCH was hidden, unknown well only to the SECT, who knew of HOW to keep, maintain control.
The Galacia Federa were the only beings that could carry weapons. Could administer justice.
They were beyond the Ai machines ability to control them. Likewise ANY ALIEN race would also be unaffected.
Some might KNOW of its presence but NOT how to ‘turn it off’.. 
NO ONE knew WHO held the secret to that ‘switch’ ,
A cult, a sect.. well IF you could identify WHO that or WHO they might be.. when you don’t then a few BILLION ? Aliens WHO might like such power .. did they have the power to identify such?
It was rumored, anyone or thing, attempting to get close to the ‘switch’ would be instantly vaporised.. The desire, to do so, faded to almost none who continued to search for it.
The elite also ensured, that their menials, were kept under control and incapable of ever thinking of such a venture.
Areas were also selected as being off limits to the menials.
Chips inserted into their bodies meant they were now being monitored, observed, everywhere, anything and everything they did, thought.. in such a short time, the Ai and those its masters had secured what they had only in the past dreamed of.
The arrival of these beings..had been troubling the Elite.. hence they had had iNova send for the Galacia Federa commander.
They could ask but NOT demand answers.
That, Sienzu knew all too well. The presence of another strange alien being.. Yie ? Monitoring the meeting was being observed. Attempting to scan Sienzu they did not.. it was pointless.
This other being.. ? NOTHING absolutely NOTHING.. it was as though it did not exist.. though they COULD see it.. Not even anything resembling an alternative life form..
SO, how could Sienzu see, communicate with Yie? Because Yie allowed her to. Eye to eye might be an answer. But in truth their sentient ENTITIES were talking to each other.
The arrival of two iClones on the beach watching on were attempting to parse imaging to their Elite.. and failing. That unnerved them, well sort of a momentary flicker of some reservation.
THEY were superior beings, not the ones they were now watching. That sense of entitlement had long been what you could expect from such creations...
Moving to step forward and interrupt the two of Sienzu and this other. whatever it was.. they did NOT know.. was terminated as Yie raised her hand and pointed at them.
They now found they could NOT move. Senses muddled, confused.. as Yie stared at Sienzu and a grin.. a smile on her lips.. “They have no clue have they”. Sienzu nodded. I could vaporise them where they stand..
The machine.. the Ai that controls.. I do not think the Arcan will be pleased to think that it will have access to such power. IT could destroy it but only IF IT, attempts to do anything, the Arcan determines as HOSTILE.
From behind the two iClones, NOW coming out of the water.. the figures of the Mermui..
