19th Detonator [Voice]

It appears that many people have disappeared in the last few weeks. [...And Kirika was one of them. Hopefully, she's back in her world and with all of her memories... He resumes speaking.] Though the amount of deaths have slowed down from before, it's for the best that they're gone. Less people will hopefully mean less causalities in the future.

With the chips being slowly removed, it's somewhat impressive that no massive damage has occurred to Discedo yet. However, that doesn't mean we can let up our guard... We must remain focused.

[There's a long pause and it seems like he's about to turn off his communicator when the commander speaks again]

With the disappearance of several individuals and the chips being taken out, a thought has recently occurred to me. What happens to those people who return home, but the chip is still in their body?

Yes.

You didn't hear of them back home?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

I heard about that, but the aliens usually tend to stay on Filgaia rather than abducting the people back to their planet.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't think they brought them back to their own planets. They just conducted experiments on humans aboard their flying spaceships.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...What type of aliens did your planet have?

One of the most common aliens on Filgaia are the Metal Demons.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

The media usually presented them as monstrous green creatures with numerous slimy tentacles.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

That sounds more like a mutation rather than an alien.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Scaremongering, I'd presume.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

It sounds counterproductive to have the general public fear something rather than feel safe.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Does it? I would think that it keeps them alert.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Unless they start panicking and end up doing something irrational out of their fear.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Most people didn't believe in aliens, anyway. So that was never really an issue.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Aliens don't exist in your world?

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

That's why they're called aliens, isn't it?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

An alien is a being that was originally from another world... they can eventually settle in on your planet. It's not that uncommon.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

W-Wait, aliens are real where you're from?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Yes, I wasn't making them up when we were talking.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Before I came here, I would have thought the government made them up.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Some of the aliens look similar to humans, so it may be difficult to tell if they are on your planet or not.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

They really did exist?!

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do exist. On Filgaia, we even have an Alien Day.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Alien Day? [curious pause] How did you celebrate it?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

The aliens gather in one area to hold a ceremony. When the ceremony ends, they all receive a commemorative gift, which is usually a dictionary.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

It might've been easier if they were humanoid, I guess. Easier to relate...then again, that doesn't particularly guarantee anything.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Some may be easier to relate to than others, but that can extend to humans in general too.

[notmanaging.livejournal.com]

Did the humans in your world have a variety of different cultures?
