“It’s GONG Zero, Bell Zero, and exactly 1 Beep!” The logo of the D1.LoG’s “NewsFlash” glided through the screen, giving the way of a wide news studio, while it was focusing on the Anchor-Man. “Welcome, to the NewsFlash, …” he said, his smart co-host a younger human woman, with dark skin, green eyes and natural blond hair, Yenny interrupted his flow, “welcome, to the new millennium, the new century, and the first Gong of time - and thank you, Dick. What are topics of the Beep?”
A slightly confused Dick Carsonee, the new speed of the new time a little bit to fast for him, smiled, and inhaled. “Today’s topic - … As always on my side - the beautiful Yenny Simpsons”, he exhaled before he continued, “ …this Beep’s topic is a sensation from the Outer Rim’s Outskirts’ Station ‘HD 156668 Hercules’!” Behind them the three-dimensional star-map of known galaxy opened, perfectly blending in the rugged space-piercing design of the star-ship.
“A new highly experimental manned spaceship turned inward, towards the sun and made a jump of 100c speed before it arrived in the front-door of the HYAOPH.”
The background view was now live broadcasting the spaceship hanging above the dwarf planet. “Yes, this news is, indeed, confirmed by the HYAOPH at Dawn of Aquarius itself and verified by instant reports of our very own OCN networks!”
“All five crew-man, three humans and 2 AIE are well, They do not report any ghosts or show any sign of psychological or physical distraction.”
Their careful studied ballet of double moderation continued for moments with the details, scientific and human ones, while the news-ticker, a banderol in the 3D-media stream was showing the not so important news from the rest of the galaxy. ... Wolf 1061 - new quantum-neuron-improvements, ... Earth population data decreasing, ... Ross 128 detected unknown species in their Savana Habitat, ..., CD-Cet ... IMPORTANT NEWS ...
Just as Dick Carsonee tried to ask the most important question, “What do(es this mean for the unified society of the galaxy?),” the logo of “N n E e W w S s F f L l A a S s H h” now wildly blinking scrolled though the view.
“CD-CET discovered a ten thousand lightyears away Alien Transmission. It is partially decrypted.” A third moderator, Fallon Ledderoone, had entered the studio waving his data-slate. Dick was for a moment more confused than ever. “This is a new time,” he whispered his thoughts, and even before he could finish his question was interrupted again by an outburst of emotion.
Yenny, almost in happy fury, loudly expressed her joyful astonishment “This is GREAT news indeed. A 10000ly old message, Aliens, only a 10000ly away, so close, are they still alive?”
“WHAT!”, Dick Carsonee spoke out louder than he wanted, “What does this mean for the unified HUMAN society of the galaxy?”
For a moment the galaxy went silent - it stood still - before the news-ticker continued.
