Death of a Super Earth and the Jatites’ Attempted Coup

My response to the writing challenge issued by Genna Eastman, with a copy of her rules, also a continuation from where ‘always exploring’ a.k.a. Ruby Fuller left off on her contribution to this challenge. (See the link to Genna’s challenge and the other Hubber's response)

1. You can create a short story; a flash fiction short; an installment series; fantasy comic strips or illustrations with free verse poetry; a treatment for a screenplay. Write your story from any perspective; for example, as characters within the story-line; as a journalist, etc. Please feel free to use videos, newspaper headline visuals, or other creative elements. You can team up with other Hubbers, or write this project on your own.

2. Your story or presentation must follow the Story Background outlined below in order to establish a common denominator and a point in which to begin the story. Be as detailed in your story-line/writing (which can lead into dozens of different directions), or as general as you wish.

3. Have fun!

A massive ark type spacecraft has landed off the east coast of the United States.

After the October 2018, launch of the James Webb’s Space Telescope (JWST) part of NASA’s Flagship program, which has been gathering METI data from planets in our solar system and out of our solar system.

Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) has not received answers from the unsolicited messages sent to other worlds for several years, But the launch of the powerful James Webb telescope, an enormous breakthrough in understanding the Universe and our origins, could change all that.

Added to that the discovery of Jate22 (i.e. a Super Earth) an exoplanet (a planet outside our solar system which orbits a star rather than the sun) is such a breakthrough.

The CO2 emissions on the super earth Jate22 have reached critical mass, marine life could no longer live in the acidic waters and all bipedal humanoids must evacuate or face extinction, as their food sources have become scarce to the point of no return and the Jatite must find and occupy another planet so their species can survive.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), also known as Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial intelligence (METI) has been sending messages to other worlds for several years. Scientists from across the globe are excited over the launch of the powerful James Webb telescope, an enormous leap forward in our quest to understand the Universe and our origins.

The whole world was in a panic

As the Ark from Jate touched down in the Atlantic

From the Captain a message was telepathically sent

Requesting to come ashore and meet with our president/ leader in any event

The ark crew was admonished not to reveal their intent

By the Captain Jatite Beauty a clairvoyant message was sent

I will keep their leader busy then here is what to do

You can all come ashore to carry out the coup

We need a new planet so I’m trusting in you

Though apprehensive the leaders of our nation

Mesmerized in their fixation

Watched as to the limousine the Jatite beauty was led

By our pompous leader with visions of bedtime dancing in his head

The beautiful Jatite Captain smiled as his thoughts she read

Their mind reading ability enabled the Jatite to understand

Thoughts in every language and respond in kind

Understanding everything unsaid

President Trump had served half term from 2016 to 2018

Before he was impeached and replaced by his VP

Elected to the 2020 term to 2024 Pence showing his true colors

We found what we got was worse than before the election 2024

The election 2024’s apathetic voters who chose not to vote

And the Electoral College, who do nothing but!

With no lesson learned, here is what we got

Reinstalled President Trump on the White House throne

As the Limo rolled away with the

And with his hand on her thigh

You could hear Trump say

“Nobody, respects women more than me

A lecher you may detest

But, as lechers go he was one of the best

He went where no other mad man dared go

He would grab what he could and still reach for more

He grabbed for her crotch, his face turned red

As his eyes glazed over as he said

“YOU’RE A…”

“Yes!” telepathically she/he said

For year and years we studied you

And through the James Webb, Space Telescope

We know that you studied us too

And what you did to your women I will now do to you

The Jate beauty grabbed the small handful and holding on tight

Asked him telepathically,

Do you want to engage or take flight?

The President screamed for help

Like in a nightmare no sound came out

The first lady entered the White House

Intercepted by the secret service

Who said “my President wants his privacy”

His privacy? Melania snapped

I’ll be quiet as a mouse….

Melania silently opened the door

Then with a silent gasp

As a sardonic smile crept across her face

Finally someone has put him in his place

The Jate22 Ark crew came ashore to carry out the coup

Civilian Hillary Clinton knew just what to do

As she had them rounded up, the Jate ark’s motley crew

Then had them imprisoned in their own ark

And sunk it in the ocean of blue
