ALIEN ATTACK:PART 2

Greetings Earthlings,

It's Monday. My host woke up with the enthusiasm of a garbage collector looking forward to seeing more garbage. There was this weird old fashioned buzzer that kept ringing every 10 minutes but my host only woke up after the 3rd 10 minutes interval. In Zqgarkonia, we just need to set our waking up time in the head. At the selected time, the whole body system gets a shot of extra energy, so no matter how hard we try to get back to bed, the leg will be up and running.

She took such a long time to get ready that i almost fell asleep again but i was rudely jerked awake when she entered a blue thing with wheels, together with her grandfather. The whole vehicle rattled like a huge rattlesnake. And some roads were so bumpy, it reminded me when i was trapped in my spaceship during a meteor storm, only worse.

We sent the grandfather home and my host headed to work. I almost fainted when i saw the thing called computer at her desk. Allow me to explain. Back in my home planet, we are actually the inhabitants and also the walking computers. Our brains are latched into a huge network that connects the whole planet. We do not create softwares. It's created by our thoughts. We just need to specify the requirements, the brain does the processing, and within minutes, the software is created. The eyes act like the screen. When we need to use the software, a huge screen appears as an interface, which only can be seen by the eyes of the creator. The whole internal system is highly guarded. Only selected information, approved by the owner is shared among the network. The rest, including thoughts are firewalled, encrypted with a unique key only the creator understands and guarded by a set of virus. If another brain tries to access confidential information, the virus automatically latches itself into it and deletes all the information in the system. The owner would then be sent for 10 years rehabilitation program, which would be like a prison itself. Welcome to the real world of supercomputers.

As I promised, let me explain about my planet. Zqgarkonia is the 100th planet in a system called the Sqgarlar system. Sqgarlar system is one of the 100,000 quadrillion systems in the Cokeway. Cokeway was recently named after the popular drink on Earth,Coca-Cola, as from far, the galaxy is shaped after the Coke bottle. Earlier, it was called the Zqargoway.Yes, Coke is drunk widely in Zqgarkonia. We don't really rely on food to survive, given our energy shots but we are adventurous people and Coke caught the attention of our taste buds. Cokeway is situated between VanillaShake way and BananaCake way. Don't bother asking why. The whole universe recently went into a frenzy, naming their galaxy after an edible item. Even the utmost ridiculous names like the MaggiMee way and SambalBelacan way were not spared.

As I'm writing this, my host keeps yawning, sending in a rush of air that keeps knocking me out of balance. I shall continue my narration when the situation permits. Have a nice day folks. This is Zorg, signing off.
