Day 44: Planet X

The Prompt: The pastor’s an alien from another planet.  What happens?

This one was done a little hastily...again.  :(  I have homework to do.

"Bjork?"

"Yes, Oolog?"

"I want a status report on Yenti."

"Yes, sir."  Bjork pulled up some files on a large clear computer screen that was inside the information center of their space craft.  "It looks like he has been doing well.  This is what his earthling form looks like."

"Balding with a large stomach and glasses?  Humans are frightening.  How are they responding to him."

"Quite well, it appears.  They were a little cautious about warming up to him, but after Yenti mimicked some of the other...pastors, he seemed to do better.  It looks like all the people in the, uhhh, church is trusting him.  They are talking with him, giving him gifts, and other gestures of kindness."

"And has he found out any good information about them?"

"Yes.  Many of the females have shared their life stories or household affairs with him, and Yenti has sent them all to us, just as you ordered."

"Excellent!"

"It even looks like he has men of power believing him.  A sheriff, a district attorney, and a man on the city council."

"It looks like Yenti is adjusting well!"

A red light flashed on the screen.  Bjork clicked on the alert.  "Oolog, Yenti has just sent us a video message."

"Play it," the leader commanded.

Yenti's face filled the screen.  "Hello, Oolog, Jik, Bjork, and everyone else who might see this.  I, uh, hope you are all doing well.  I.  I have come to an important decision, Oolog.  I have learned many things since I came to Earth four months ago.  Humans are not what we thought.  Sure, some are not bright, but these people are kind, honest earthlings who genuinely seem to care about me.  And this God that I keep preaching about, well, he's a pretty amazing person.  He said a lot of things in this Bible that, that I'm starting to believe.  I can't keep lying to the humans anymore.  It isn't right.  I know they might not take the news of my identity very well at first, but I have to tell them.  I'm sorry I let you down.  I won't reveal any of our secrets.  Tell my brother I will not forget him.  Goodbye."

The screen abruptly went black.

"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!!"

"Now, now, Oolog, try not to get so excited."

"I want him extracted NOW!"

"Yes, sir."

Another alert, this time one that sounded an alarm, appeared.  Bjork quickly clicked on it.  He said in a small voice, "Sir, we might be too late.  I have just been informed that he has already told them."

Oolog, too irate to say a thing, left the information center in a rush.

Bjork sighed as he turned back to his computer.  "Earth will never be the same."
