The day the Earth stood still (Part 9)

My fellow Humans of 2020 A.D., my message till now has given you a background to our conditions today. We don’t know when you will receive this message or if you will receive it at all. We don’t know what will happen in the 15 days that will be left to us after we send this message.

Our request to you the man of 2020 A.D is that please grant the space exploration the due importance that it deserves. Today, if only we had moved to exoplanets that we could have survived this crisis. There would be different worlds to relocate to and the Earth could be abandoned. We realize this today when our existence, the existence of humans as a species is endangered due to a decision that was taken back then. It could be the existence of life itself that is in danger since humans is the only species that exists today. We have heard fables that there used to be other species and if that is true then we would like to let you know that for us it is just a fable.

We would also like to request you not to use the energy resources extravagantly. Energy is the life force of the Universe. Please use it judiciously. Today I can say that though total energy in the Universe remains the same, the one that is available to us is limited.

Please determine your priorities as, representative of entire Earth, and if tomorrow you happen to meet other species then as life itself. A lot of energy is wasted in meeting unnecessary demands of the species. Political will is necessary to divert this wasteful expenditure to a productive one. You can discriminate between a productive and unproductive expenditure only when you think for Earth as a whole and not restrict yourselves to the borders of countries as they exist in your times.

Apart from Energy crisis, there can be a possibility of Earth being destroyed by a passing asteroid or a collision with any other celestial object. It did not happen till my time but if I am able to change the past and get you to be space faring species, it might change the dynamics considerably and make such a collision a possibility.

So, here I am begging you to remember and act on the things I have already said. If you receive the message, you would know that I have spent the last blast of energy on this message. Your and our future depends on you. Wish you and us all the best!”

And the message ended.
