Allow me to introduce you to Ia'lena; she is 34 years old from the planet Zigrida. Former leader of the Azulla people in a province of one of the continents. She is 5 foot 8 inches tall, slim built. She has long light brown hair that flows down her back. All Zigrida females are born with telepathy to influence all life and possess potent, irresistible pheromones to attract males. For reasons still a mystery in many ways, males on their planet have been dominated by them for centuries.
It was only that a radiated meteorite decimated the male population to the point of extinction that It was necessary to use extreme measures to find them in any way they could. They created a resonance beam that eventually pushed this radiation far away from their planet; however, most males were gone from the radiation.
Earth investigation
A spacecraft was sent out from Earth to this focused beam detected by satellite systems on a research station on Neptune. The sent-out spacecraft was damaged attempting to find the signal; however, it reached the planet. Ia'lena's family saw him, and an ensuing adventure followed.
A few years later, the engineer repaired the ship with the commander and Ia'lena escaping the planet making it back to the Earth.
After meeting with Commander Scott's parents, a crisis developed when a wealthy organization threatened a world war if this new planet's information was not released soon. Earth Space Security stationed on Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, asked Ia'lena that with her unique abilities, to help them find out who was behind this dangerous organization so that they could be brought to justice.
Ia'lena agreed to help them. She had seen Earth's history of war and violence and did not want this brought to her planet.
Ia'lena had noticed strange differences since she had left her planet. Her planet was twice the size of the Earth, making her bone structure twice as strong. She looked small but had the power of a muscle-built 6-foot 8-inch male, with her being 5-foot-8 inches tall. The Earth's size triggered her lung capacity enhancement as of an Olympic long-distance runner. She did not know it yet, but she would have the ability to do everything twice as much as any earth being. These differences were unknown to anyone, even Commander Scott, who had been around her longer than anyone. So far, the changes were not harmful.
Moon Ganymede
As the Earth Security Service meeting was being held, Ia'lena dressed up as an attendant/usher to scan everyone. At the top of the conference room was a stage with 15 chairs, while the floor held 200 seats. She was then introduced to the staff backstage with ten members, especially becoming friends with a young woman 24 years of age named Orchid, who was from the South American Country of Peru. Orchid's father was a top member of the officers in the service, her joining him quickly after graduating high school. She showed Ia'lena the ropes on what to do, which she caught on very quickly.
The room filled up with all manner of security personnel of various ranks of service.
While seating one man, she overheard him saying to himself under his breath how much he hated the security service his father made him join, but it was nothing subversive.
Director Gardner and Commander Scott walked in and were seated. Then the others walked in.
Ia'lena standing and guiding people to their seats, noticed a few of the stage officers were thinking about DR Mellissa and how they wished they would have been more direct than to just leave a warning. One was even going over secret plans in his mind. The other's thoughts were on asking Commander Scott to join them. If he refuses, use his parents and relatives to persuade him if necessary. More thoughts coming to her were the masking of the influential people behind all this. Not even they knew who was behind it all, but guessed it was the Director of the science organization that gave Mellissa the National Medal of Sciences award.
Ia'lena had a clipboard and flower in her hair attached with a micro-video recorder. These devices were designed to follow her eyes, giving Director Gardner a visual picture of the ones, they needed to start surveillance. She also had a photographic memory which would be particularly useful for someone undercover. Ia'lena also had a good grasp for picking up movements from anything she saw.
After the meeting concluded, she, Scott, and Gardner met in a soundproof room.
Ia'lena told them of the two men and women with questionable thoughts concerning the Earth's security events.
Director Gardner told Scott he would be going to wear protective services are keeping his children and parents.
Then he turned to his newest agent from another world, saying, "I know we are asking a lot, and we will equip you with the best technical stuff we have. I am going to send you to an advanced self-defense program."
Surprisingly, it took her only a few weeks to complete the program with the highest score ever recorded. Ia'lena also watched movies with Bruce Lee and Scarlett Johansson, laughing about the special effects but saying to herself I could probably pull that off for real.
Director Gardner called her to a meeting with him; she entered and was seated. He said," You're ready and given the code reference I. A."
She knotted her head.
Ia' Lena stayed at the base hotel that night, then took the subsequent jump transport to Earth the following day.
The South American Spaceport was the Onyx just outside the city of Lima, Peru. She got off then contacted Orchid, her friend from the security services. Orchid lived in a small town in the southern part of the country, called Copiague, with a population of about 30,000.
Ia' Lena asked Orchid about the floating city in the ocean she saw while she visited Commander Scott's family.
Orchid told her it was a wonderful place that she visited once, that it was full of sea creatures and was the most modern place on Earth, but she did not like being underwater, just a personal thing. But I'll go with you and show you around.
"Okay," her best friend said.
Orchid showed her the ancient ruins and stories of the Quechua who lived in the Andes Mountains and the Inca.
Ia' Lena had read about the history of the people of the Earth, but to see the places where these events took place was so disheartening, she silently thought.
Ia'lena spent the next few weeks with Orchid; both received briefs from the space security command.
Orchid made reservations at the floating cities undersea hotel for that upcoming Wednesday night, this being Sunday; she could hardly wait. The next afternoon Orchid took Ia'lena to a soccer game then that evening horse racing. She loved every event she saw, of course, seeing these for the first time.
Underwater Sea-City
Finally, Wednesday came; they took a regular plane flight to the sea city whose airport was a platform that after landing had a converter that lowered like aircraft carriers, drop their planes into the lower deck. It was wonderous, looking like a giant sea star whose tentacles were the hanger decks. The whole jumbo jet lowered into the base of the airport. The passengers walked out of the door to a conveyer belt walkway equipped with stairs.
Ia'lena was in awe at the crazy mechanical devices these earth people made. She wondered if her people could see all this, what would they think.
Orchid suddenly said, "Hey, let's go get into a Simmer Marine; it's like a car/submarine only smaller."
Ia'lena replied, "What is a submarine?"
Orchid said, "Oh, never mind, just come on."
The Simmer Marine looked sort of like the space cars shown on a cartoon called the Jetsons broadcast years ago.
It used water for propulsion, Orchid told her.
Orchid said, "Let me drive."
Ia'lena shyly scolded her, "Are you crazy? I am not touching any of these machinery things."
The rented sea-car putt-putted out of the seaport to a land track made of seashells. Extreme pressure surrounded them, but they could hardly tell due to it being in a tube.
Orchid said, "this will take a while; the seaport is a few miles away from the city.
Then appeared the Earth Aqua City on the seafloor; this was an international city with all of the nation's contributing funds and materials to build. It had its private government and monetary system and was self-sufficient.
It was huge, five miles in circumference, and a large dome covered it like a bowl. The city was beautiful as they came into closer view. Ia'lena saw what looked like plastic molded buildings of different shapes, sizes, but primary colors. Everything had a bubble-like tone to it, understandable, she thought. As they approached, a round door opened, and each simmer marine went in one at a time.
Orchid and Ia'lena's sea car went into the door; it closed with a conveyer belt causing the vehicle to rise while the chamber they were in pressurized to surface levels. They parked the sea car and then took a tag chip bracelet, guiding them to their transportation when they were ready to leave.
As she walked into the city proper, the lighting was unique; she could not tell where the light was coming from; it seemed like the walls glowed. Trees and vegetation are scattered throughout. People were hustling and bustling about.
Ia'lena walked into a large shopping area, then to the glass dome seeing all manner of sea creatures of the earth swimming.
She saw a school of Dolphins not too far away; using her telepathy, she called to them.
All of the Dolphins looked at the glass towards Ia'lena, then swam over; it was the first time they noticed a human communicating with them in their language. One large male looked like perhaps the leader said to Ia'lena, "How are you doing that, speaking to us.' 'No other being like you has."
Ia'lena told it she was not like the other walking beings; she could speak to all creatures.
She did not want to say she was not from their planet, fearing he would not be able to understand.
A female Dolphin spoke next, asking what her people call her?
She told her Ia'lena.
The Dolphin said, "I am called Trasca; it means nosey in our language.' 'My mother told me I was going to get into trouble being so nosey.' 'When I was born, the first thing I did was swim up to a crab, asking what it was.' 'Mother said, leave that thing alone, calling me nosey."
The large male butted in, saying, but you look just like the walking stick beings comparing people to trees.
Then Ia'lena showed these sea mammals a telepathic vision of her and her sisters with various sea creatures from her planet, how they were communicated, and how they were treated.
