Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my family that always gave

me support and comprehension.

I also would like to thank the small town of So

Loureno, located in the southern state of Minas

Gerais. Although I have born in Rio de Janeiro, since

my childhood I learned to love this city, which I chose

as my paradise. Its magical waters, the Mantiqueira

Mountains, the pure air, birds singing, the deliciousfood, the sincere friends, and the feeling of living close

to nature gave me joy and the balance to complete this

book.

Dedication

I dedicate this book with all my heart for my

dear grandparents Joo and Firmina.

A stranger on the net

From the space not so distant, the sight of our

planet is like a large aquarium, a life sphere surrounded

by a freezing vacuum. At its front, the Sun, always

sending incessantly to us the life's energy, whichreaches every existent atom turning our spaceship in a

large blue luminaire, dotted by a mixture of brown

shades, gray, green, and white lines. Its true that since

some time ago the shades of green are decreasing fast,

and with an increasing frequency we can see flashes

ripping the darkness and huge swirls blocking the

visions field. The white color that covered much of

the extremities is getting blue day after day, and even

the shape of the large clouds from upper layers appears

to be changing. Its all changing, very quickly, but its

also undeniable that it still is an astonishing scene, apearl, an oasis of life, which from up here seems to be

the real paradise. None sound found by ears, just this

miracle, orbiting and cutting the great vacuum.

Many miles below, as we approach the surface,

it becomes easier to see that the previous harmony


7/251

seems to disappear. Outside the big blue ocean, theshades of gray and brown are growing without any

control and the noise is mixed in sounds of different

voices, cars, planes and advertising. In the middle of

all this chaos, those shades of green are the true oasis

inside the great oasis quoted above. The life fight

tirelessly in pursuit of expansion, but since sometimethis fight has been uneven.

Were in January 2007, in the world, one more

day, an afternoon or an evening, depending on where

you are. Millions sleep in their homes in parts of

Europe, Asia and Oceania, while in America mothers

prepare breakfast for their families. Young people are

at Universities, police catches criminals, children are

born and men die. Everything occurring at the same

time at all parts. There will always be someone

sleeping and someone waking up.At millions of homes around the globe, in the

morning, afternoon or evening, sitting in front of a

computer, hundreds of millions navigate like electronic

astronauts on the Internet. The issues and access are

the most varied possible. While some are simply


8/251

chatting, others buy any kind of goods. People domovements in their bank accounts while industries are

developing new products; cultures interacts one with

another. This is a virtual world that pulsates and is

always available, no matter the location or time-zone.

Its like a new universe, ready to be exploited by

anyone at any time, a universe where everybody feelssafe. In their homes, schools or cyber cafes, they all

feel protected by the apparent anonymity that brings a

sense of control. Its a place where there seems not to

exists the same fears of the real world. As a Wonder

land to search, buy, learn and dream freely. Is it really?

At Maryland, United States, in one of the many

facilities of the government, Paul, the team leader of

tracking and analysis of strategic information was

about to end another day of work. Paul was an agent

specialized in data communication, 35 years old andPh.D. in telecommunications. He came to NSA

(National Security Agency) after highlight himself in a

large software company where he developed many

projects for the government.

The NSA is the U.S. government agencyresponsible for tracking and making analysis of

relevant information to national security and potential

threats to the Western world. This corporation works in

an integrated manner with other agencies of allied

countries sharing information and investigating all sort

of suspicious exchange of messages circulating on theInternet, cellular telephony, wired telephony and radio

equipments. This activity is done through high

technology and secret systems, as the controversial

Project Echelon. This project consists of a complex

system interconnected by devices of top generation,

which captures secretly patterns in any environment of

electronic communication considered suspicious or of

an strategic interest, through artificial intelligence and

algorithms that run on supercomputers capable of

performing millions operations per second. The

Echelon uses more than 100 satellites to interceptpackets of information that range from e-mails

exchanged on the Internet until telephone calls. It seeks

in these sets of data, key words or sounds that fit into

predetermined standards dictated by the agency in

accordance with its fixed or momentary interests.


10/251


10

There is a suspicion that the system often is used toinvade networks of large companies and governments

in search of strategic information, military and

commercial ones in order to give advantage to any firm

financially linked to American interests. There is no

network or computer connected to the Internet capable

to escape from its invasive technology.The Echelon was harshly criticized when its

existence came to public knowledge through ex-agents.

Due to the fact that it is a technology that violates the

privacy rights of citizens and businesses, most of the

information on this project is incomplete. The U.S.

government never gave many details about them.

The existence of such kind of technology brings

to light many questions about the advantages and

disadvantages of the advances in modern

communication and the increasing dependence we

have on the Internet in our daily lives, in banktransactions, information exchange, products

development, etc.

Security has become a big excuse for large

government agencies to violate the peoples basic

rights with a furtive and illegal way in a difficult


11/251


11

environment to control where most of people arecompletely ordinary. It's like taking candy from

children, because even the large companies that invest

millions in security, uses the technologies developed

with sponsorship of these organs, and only after a long

time it are released to the market. The wolf creates the

security technology and sells it to the sheep to protectthemselves from each other. But who can protect

oneself from the wolf?

On his computer, Paul was analyzing a series of

reports that showed to him some cases of suspicious

communication among countries of Eastern Europe. In

most of the time it was only e-mails exchanged by

students in search of adventure or local criminals

combining petty crimes. Normally, these analysis were

discarded for not to fit in the main project policies,

which was early identification of plans for terroristattacks, international smuggling of nuclear weapons,

development of weapons by countries considered

enemies, etc.

In his work bench he talked with the agent

Junior:


12/251


12

- Paul: Junior, I was analyzing data from a large

oil company in South America. It seems they are really

doing great progress in the discovery of new reserves

of oil and natural gas. Please consolidate all this

information and prepare a report to our director,

because there is great pressure from Washington to seta new strategy for fossil fuels for the next decade.

- Junior: Okay. I got it.

- Paul: Regarding the messages exchanged by

groups in the Middle East and Asia, well continue

reporting daily to our allies. I also want the reports

with all communication of governments in all countries

that we daily follow.

- Junior: Okay, boss. I have a comment aboutanother subject.

- Paul: Go ahead.


13/251


13

- Junior: Since yesterday the system is detectinga range of information traveling through the internet

servers in several countries, including ours, and we

couldn't identify it.

- Paul: Do you know where it came from?

- Junior: I didn't find its origin yet, but I also

have found that number of servers with this problem is

increasing. So far no government facility or military

unit has reported any invasion.

- Paul: Is it possible that to be a new program

developed by an allied country?

- Junior: I still can't say what it is. Apparently

the program didnt cause any damage to the affected

servers.

- Paul: Have you checked if anything happened

to any company affected by the anomaly?


14/251


14

- Junior: Yes, but the strange thing is that wehave made contact with some companies here in our

country and all of them reported they hadn't detected

anything strange. I received the same description from

all companies: there was a great loss of speed in their

network and in their systems during the invasion, but

no data was lost.

- Paul: What kind of virus could cause this?

- Junior: I still don't know, I'm trying to analyze

the structure of this program to decodify it, but it seems

to be a very complex algorithm. Its encryption key

cant be broken.

- Paul: Let's get in touch with other offices to

see if anyone else had also identified the anomaly.

How long you think it will take to decodify the contentof this program?

- Junior: Paul, it wont be easy. I named this

anomaly "Inv-10512-07" and I sent all information to


15/251


15

our expert in cryptography. I'll talk to him to see if hehas made some progress. Ill call you later.

- Paul: Once you get some new information, let

me know immediately. If all of this came from another

crazy and intelligent hacker, we need to identify him

and if necessary, neutralize him to protect our servers.

At his desktop, William, the cryptology chief

and specialized in creating and unlocking encryption

algorithms, answered the Juniors call, who asked him

for information on the progress in the analysis of Inv-

10512-07:

- William: Junior, this program seems to be a

mechanism that seeks some computer address on the

Internet for a particular purpose. I'm trying to identify

the code system that was built, but there is a kind ofprotection that prevents to access its architecture. I'm

still unable to identify its intention or how it was

constructed. Have you managed to locate its source?


16/251


16

- Junior: We have two teams working on that.The program was found by our system on different

servers, as if it had been inserted simultaneously from

different locations at same time. The problem is that

these source points are located in different continents.

- William: Do we have a new hacker?

- Junior: How would a hacker do this? Even to

a multinational company, it would be very unlikely had

this giant coverage. Until today, even in cases of

terrorism we dont have records of unknown

information moving through internet in so many

places. Usually this type of communication is very

limited, from point to point, making it invisible and

hard to be found.

What I'm seeing now is exactly the opposite, a

set of information that cant be read, and its travelingthe world via Internet.

Keep working on trying to break the encryption.

I'll call Paul to tell him about this.

Be prepared, because I believe it will take higher

proportions if we fail to progress.


17/251


17

Upon receiving Junior's report, Paul became

worried and called the director of NSA, a three star

general of the U.S. Army in the area of security:

- Paul: Sir, we have a problem in an event called

Inv-10512-07. This anomaly was identified circulatingon the Internet. The usual procedures are being

followed and it doesnt seem to be a threat of an

aggressive type, but otherwise, so far, we failed to

identify its origin or intentions.

- Director of NSA: Where this anomaly was

detected?

- Paul:Its traveling through many countries, in

different types of institutions such as companies,

NGOs, hospitals, universities, etc. Firstly we havediscarded industrial espionage because it is appearing

in many places at the same time. Our major fear is that

it can contain some kind of terrorist instruction or is

capturing information in a stealth way. We can already

say that its a product of high technology.


18/251


18

- Director of NSA: If this anomaly not appears to

be a threat you really think that we need to elevate its

status and invest time and resources on it?

- Paul: Sir, All the times weve failed to detect

in advance terrorist attacks, or misuse of weapons orthings like that, it happened because we couldnt

intercept any information that led us to the plan before

it could be executed. The success of some terrorist acts

took place because of all planning and communication

between members has occurred so rudimentary,

without using any technology. This is the only way to

escape from our tentacles.

- Director of NSA: Yes Paul, but for this type of

threat we have the agents. Why are you worried?

- Paul: Its because in all other cases it was

possible to detect threats in advance, through an email,

a phone call or a hotel reservation. That is what worries

me.


19/251


19

Since the Echelon was activated, there is no typeof information tracked by our specialists that has not

been decoded and understood. The mere possibility of

something indecipherable to us traveling freely in the

electronic devices is a reason of great concern because

it means that we could be blind and deaf again.

- Director of NSA: I understand Paul, so let's

forward. Keep me informed.

- Paul: Okay, I'm changing the status from

suspected anomaly to unidentified threat. As soon as I

have some news, I call you.

One Planet

In 2000, in the eve of the turn of the millennium,

according to the Western calendar, a Dutch couple,

Hans and Catherine, traveling through the Brazilian

Amazon and then by Argentinean Patagonia, delightedwith all the beauty and harmony of nature that they

found, and worried with the preservation of all these

wonders, decided to create a group called "One

Planet." The purpose was to create a place without

government or business connections in order to discuss

freely issues related to environment and human

behavior. They created a website to share up to date

information on the climate, deforestation, flora, fauna,

human behavior, and other related issues. In the

website was also created an electronic forum for all

members around the world do exchange and shareinformation on various topics posed for discussion by

the group.

With little time of existence, the group quickly

achieved a great success becoming a reference in

electronic research and information exchange between


21/251


21

people interested in protect the planet and other non-governmental institutions related to protecting the

environment. The "One Planet" was formed by people

rather eclectic on its origins and customs. After some

years of existence and consolidation of the site, it was

formed a group of friends really interested in keeping

their ideals, through adding new information andsuggesting topics to be discussed. An interesting

feature of this group was that it had been composed by

people of various nationalities, with completely

different styles of life. In common, they had an

awareness that nature is much more than trees, animals

and water.

The cultural diversity is a feature very important

in this type of activity. I say this because its much

more usual for such groups to be formed by individuals

with common geographic interests. Some of them growup quickly and often become international, as some

currently known, but these larger groups are always

divided in separated cells that act independently

according to the closer interests. The striking

difference between the friends of the "One Planet" was


22/251


22

that since it began, the proposal was discuss differenttopics related to nature in deep way and try to find out

alternatives to the problems, always keeping the

discussion in the field of ideas. The goal never was

disclose offensive material or propose any aggressive

action.

The "One Planet" never had any kind of externalprivate sponsorship. All expenses to the assembly of

the site and for the creation of materials always have

been the responsibility of people linked to its ideas. So,

it always had a lean and collaborative structure, using

an philosophical apolitical line of always address

issues of global concern and disseminate it to largest

number of people as possible, through the most

democratic and cheap way, the internet. This group has

become highly respected by those who had genuine

interest in seeking alternatives to the problems that

afflict our planet. The group was formed primarily byprofessionals, scientists, teachers, and common people,

who beyond their daily routines always had some time

to think about something more. They all were

concerned with the quality of life that they would leave

to their children and grandchildren, not just as a


23/251


23

financial issue, but the world that these children wouldreceive.

Returning to 2007, it was summer in the

southern hemisphere. The thermometers were

displaying 38 degrees Celsius in Rio de Janeiro and the

beaches were full of people. Among the hot sand andthe cold water, hundreds of children were hungry for

fun and to get cool themselves of the intense heat. On

the streets of the financial center, the men with their

dark suits were melting themselves in sweat to keep a

European style, while they were doing their business.

In the suburbs, thousands of improvised soccer fields

were full of kids playing with a ball and with their

dreams of success and fortune in European stadiums.

At the research center of Federal University,

while whole city was Boiling, Joo, a Brazilian of 47

years, was working on his research to project a cleanhydrogen fuel-based engine, which he was trying to

develop since his degree. After many years he became

a master in biochemistry. Besides his project he taught

classes to engineering students. Joo had made

progress in his work and had already presented a


24/251


24

prototype car, but in his country he never foundenough financial support to invest and complete his

project. In 2001 on a research trip to Europe he was

introduced to the group "One Planet", when he

attended a seminar on deforestation, and since then he

begin to participate on all discussion forums,

suggesting new topics and discussing the issues put inthe website.

It was 7 o'clock in the morning. On his

workbench taken by papers, computers and instruments

for chemical testing, Joo checked his emails, as he

used to do every morning. As always, he has found

many messages from project staff and students seeking

for help on the difficult problems of inorganic

chemistry, which were part of his lessons. As always,

with the messages, a lot of spam, which unfortunately

infest all inboxes with all sort of junk that someone canpossibly imagine, ranging from fantasy messages until

the fraudulent emails seeking for personal data. Among

the usual set of messages that he has received, one

aroused his curiosity. It was written in that way:


25/251


25

From: External Consciousness

To: [email protected]

Subject: Bio Matrix

- This is a personal message. After a long time

observing the development of Bio Matrix, it's essentialwe discuss some aspects related to its current

development and future. Your temporary consciousness

was located by our probes for an extraordinary event.

Soon we'll send information on the rules and space-

time.

Accustomed to see all kind of fanaticism and

madness that fills the internet, Joo thought it very

curious how the text was written, the language, mainly

because it were apparently a matter linked to his

personal interests. Thinking that it could be some kindof new theme created by his friends of the group to

cause impact, he decided to print the message and then

get in touch with his friends via chat to see what it

really was. By moving the mouse pointer over the

message to select it, a curious thing happened. The


26/251


26

message was automatically deleted from the mailboxwithout any alert. He couldnt save or even print it.

After a few seconds of surprise, Joo thought:

- Joo: Have I done something wrong? How is

possible this email suddenly disappear under my eyes?

Is it some kind of joke? If yes, it would be strange,because we never joke with serious issues, and despite

the unrealistic tone of the message, it seems to be

something connected to our group.

A few minutes after read his posts, Joo took the

phone from his lab to listen to the messages left on the

answering machine.After listening to some scraps, for

his utter amazement, he heard through a soft female

voice the same text that he had just received by email.

What was once a simple curiosity quickly turned into a

concern, because to receive a strange message on theInternet, a means of easy access, would be an

acceptable fact. But, through a telephone call? Who

sent this message would have to know much more. In a

climate that was more like a thriller movie, Joo has

decided check out if there were any messages on his


27/251


27

cellular phone. He has quickly found that there wasonly one voice mail in his mailbox. Again, there was

an enigmatic message recorded with the same female

voice. Completely stunned by the situation, he decided

to contact the mobile operator to identify the number

that originated the message.

He called the central, and the attendantanswered:

- Attendant: Good morning, may I help you?

- Joo: Good morning, I was checking the

messages left in my mailbox and I've found something

weird. Could you inform me the number that originated

this recording?

- Attendant: Is it for the same number that you

are using to contact us?

- Joo: Yes.

- Attendant: One moment please, while I check

out this information.


28/251


28

- Joo: Okay.

- Attendant: Sir, I have identified the existence

of this message to your number, but must have been

happened some problem in our system. There is no

record of when the message was recorded or thenumber that originated this phone call. Curiously, I

couldn't access the content of the message. Normally, a

copy of all calls is recorded in our system with the

source operator identification, number that called, date

and time. The content of each call is recorded on

magnetic media for some time. I'll open a ticket for our

technology sector to inform about the problem

occurred.

Please, note the protocol number.

After completing his help request call, which didnot help him to uncover the mysterious origin of the

message, Joo was interrupted by the arrival of other

people and by work issues.

That fact stayed in his thoughts throughout the

morning. Whenever he had a break at work he thought


29/251


29

about how it was possible that someone had found himlike this, and what was the meaning of this cryptic

message. Perhaps it was some new kind of scam done

by an electronic gang, those who make contact

claiming any reason to get personal data from users

and deceiving them in order to steal money from their

bank accounts and buy goods with their credit cardnumbers. He worked until 6 PM. Once arrived at his

home, he picked his personal computer and entered on

the website that he used to access frequently to talk

with friends of the "One Planet."

Daily, the most active members of the group

used to enter on the Internet, and through a chat, talk

about issues related to their goals. Because it was a

group with people all over the world, the day time

established for the talks was be determined by the

GMT time zone. Every day, since 23 hours GMT, the

first to arrive were responsible to create a private chatroom and be waiting for the other friends to start

chatting. Typically, the language used by members to

speak was English, which has never prevented a

constant exchange of words and expressions from other

different languages spoken by friends.


30/251


30

Still on the group, Hans and his wife Catherine,the founders, were doctors in the Netherlands and they

worked in a public hospital in downtown Amsterdam.

Besides them and Joo, I would like to introduce

more three members:

Duranjaya, an Indian archaeologist, professor of

history and geography, Degreed in Mumbai, he taught

classes in Pune, his homeland. He met the "One

Planet" through a research that he conducted on

biodiversity in tropical forests, when through the site,

he read about the trip made by Hans and his

observations. Since that time, he has become an active

member of the community contributing with vast

material about the climatic conditions of Asia in

ancient times and the changes that were occurring in

recent decades.

Jacques, a Canadian of 30 years who studied and

graduated in the United States. He was a psychologist

working in a mental institution located in Quebec, his

hometown. He has always been very connected with


31/251


31

nature and when he was young, he participated inseveral expeditions to the Canadian arctic areas, where

hes got the real perception of sad evolution of climate

changes, among them, the polar warming that was

dramatically changing the landscape of the region and

forcing the residents to move more and more to the

south. This realistic experience led him to search forinformation on internet, and to know the group.

Mudiwa, a South African of 38 years, born in the

giant suburb of Soweto, located on the outskirts of

Johannesburg. Since childhood, she was enforced to

live with the sad reality of racial segregation. She lost a

brother killed in a protest against the arrest of a

political leader, a fact that had deeply disrupted her

family. Since that day, she promised to herself to study

as much as she could, to have a degree and show to

everyone that the capacity of human beings to learnand develop their skills could never be related on their

racial or the color of their skin. This journey was not

easy, because even with the official end of apartheid in

the early 90's, in real life, the difficulties of daily were

enormous. Unfortunately, we know that the mentality


32/251


32

of some people cant be changed from one hour toanother simply by the creation of new rules and laws.

She suffered, but won, and at the age of 25 she

graduated in biology genetics in the top 10 of students

in the course. She got a great job at a pharmaceutical

company where she was part of a research team which

developed new drugs for serious diseases, especiallyAIDS. She has become member of the "One Planet" on

a trip to Germany, headquarters of the company where

he worked. At a medical seminar on infectious diseases

she met Catherine, wife of Hans, who presented her the

ideas and goals of the group. Since this day they have

become intercontinental friends.

Backing to Brazil; Joo entered on the chat room

to verify if anyone was online. Soon after seeing that

Hans had just entered, he typed:

- Joo: Good evening Hans. How was your day?

- Hans: Hello Joo. Today was a busy day here.

There was a train wreck out of downtown, and many


33/251


33

injured people reached to our hospital. Fortunately itwas not a terrible accident.

- Joo: Wow! Hans, a strange thing happened

today, something that may have some relation with the

group.

- Hans: Don't tell me that you received a strange

message too? I did receive it. I just not got in touch

with you and other people before because I was really

busy. Catherine also received the same message by

email and telephone. She is terrified.

- Joo:I dont believe on what you're telling me!

So, whoever did that, he come to us through the group!

- Hans: I agree with you, but if I remember, it

never was published any personal information in thesite, such as addresses or phone numbers. The only

people who have access to this kind of information are

closer people, like you. Would be a joke? Would be a

joke? In eight years of our group's existence never

happened something like this.


34/251


34

- Joo: Let's wait a little bit to see if anyone else

comes in the chat room.

- Hans: Okay, I'll be here surfing and waiting for

someone come.

About an hour late, Jacques entered the chat

room, and typed:

- Jacques: Hello guys! How are you? Do you

want to know something very strange that happened to

me today?

- Hans: Good afternoon, Jacques. If you are

talking about a strange message received by mail and

phone call, you werent the only one.

- Jacques: Really? Did you receive it too?

- Hans: So far I, Catherine and Joo. I'm starting

to get worried. Probably others in the group received it


35/251


35

too. Let me ask something that occurred to me now. Inwhich language each one received the message?

- Jacques: I received in French.

- Hans: Wow! We received in Dutch.

- John: I received in Portuguese, the email and

the voice message, which was recorded by a soft and

beautiful female voice.

- Hans: Thats impossible! Something very

strange must be happening. Our group never got

involved with any movement on the political, public

funds or any private interest. We have never had an

aggressive stance in relation to any companies or

governments. We never did any protest action directed

to any entity, and we also never published anythingoffensive. We have kept always a posture strictly

scientific, focused on research, exchange of

information and people awareness. I suggest that for

now, we should keep this fact in secret. Let's see if


36/251


36

someone else received this message. I will think calmlyon what kind of action that we can take.

It was not long and soon Mudiwa got in the chat.

Duranjaya entered few minutes later, very tired,

because in Pune were six-thirty in the morning. He had

set the alarm to play early, because he was quiteintrigued. Both also received the same message,

Mudiwa in Afrikaans and Duranjaya curiously in

Rigvedic Sanskrit, an ancient language that he had no

difficulty to understand due to his history knowledge

background. They all talked for a while considering the

many different possible reasons for this strange

message. Because it was sent to different countries in

different languages through the Internet and various

mobile phone operators, try to understand and discover

the origin has become a very complicated task. So they

decided to wait some time to think about how best toaddress the situation. Another fact to which all paid

attention to, was the inexistence in the message of

offensive words addressed to the group or any of its

members.


37/251


37

They used to talk very frequently, almost daily, whichover the time created in them a very strong intimacy.

Although they were people with such different habits

from each other, being in direct contact, beyond the

philosophy shared between them, they started to

develop one characteristic of almost imperceptible

way. Even each one living in their own country, withtheir daily routines and habits, they were no longer

equal the vast majority of people. Beyond their surface

features, it was possible to observe in each one of

them, a peculiar joy and certain universality in the way

of thinking and way of expressing themselves. Perhaps

this internal security, this something more that each

one of them had acquired, in a sense, kept them

peaceful, even after the cryptic message received.

Somehow without explanation and despite the

strangeness, the common feeling about the fact that

happened was a growing curiosity, as if somethingvery different was happening to them. Something

doesnt truly badly.

Security Breach

At NSA, on his desk, Paul was anxious waiting

for some news about the strange program that had been

identified, when suddenly the agent Junior arrived and

told to him:

- Junior: Paul, the situation on the Inv-10512-07

is much more serious than we thought. I spent all night

trying to track it on the Internet.

- Paul: What you got?

- Junior: I have activated our probes over the

international cables in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arabian

Sea and Persian Gulf. I have identified some voice

packets flowing through the telephony networks withthe same standard of encryption found on the Internet.

We have activated also our satellite network, and

again, we found the same packets in mobile phone

networks.

- Paul:Ill request now the agency to change itstatus to real threat and Ill communicate the pentagon.

Let's call William through a conference, to see how

much he progressed.

Paul called William, and quickly everybody got

in conference:

- Paul: William, I need a technical opinion on

the Inv-10512-07.

- William: We have a critical situation here. I

have spent hours studying the characteristics of this

program. All I can say is: I never came across anything

like this.

- Paul: How so? Is it some kind of threat to our

network?

- William: I cant say this yet.

- Paul: So, what we got here?


40/251


40

- William: It was developed in an unknownprogramming language that uses patterns of formation

different of ours. This is beyond all the technology

used today, even ours.

- Paul: How is it possible?

- William: In our current standard of electronic

technology, all data are converted into binary code to

travel through processors, cabling and

communications equipments. When the data packets

arrives at its destination they are converted, for

example, from binary to voice in telephony, to words

in text editors, and so on. The Inv-10512-07 certainly

has an internal programming architecture more

advanced; it was built in a completely different

architecture from ours, different from anything that I

have analyzed before. Each set of data bringsembedded in its structure a binary code, which is being

captured by our security systems. Moreover, there is a

range of information that is indecipherable simply

because it is in another pattern! Our hardware cant

understand its contents. I havent heard about any


41/251


41

country or company that is working to develop somenew standard hardware and software. Normally, we

would do this.

- Paul: So, this is an unknown threat? There is

any chance of some hacker has cheated our security

systems? A terrorist group funded by a country wouldbe able to develop something like this?

- William: I think not. The strange thing is that

so far there is no record of any hostile action. They

didnt invade any server to steal information, or even

altered the content of sites. They are simply using all

the communication systems for some purpose not yet

known.

- Paul: Junior, have you entered in the systems

of telephony companies in search of the contents of thevoice packets which we have found? Anything strange

was found on the calls records?


42/251


42

- Junior: Not yet, we are sweeping all calls. Ourpartners in Europe and Oceania are helping us on this

effort.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk of Paul rang out

interrupting the conference. On the other side of the

line, the NSA director said to him:

- Director of NSA: How are we?

- Paul: Just a moment sir, I'm seeing on my

monitor that the program has changed his own

behavior. It seems that after hours of great activity on

the Internet, around the entire globe, it was detected a

huge activity of these packets on telephony networks

of some specific countries: Canada, South Africa,

Brazil, Holland and India. Ill check out this

information immediately.

- Director of NSA: Okay, I'll let you keep

working. As soon as you have any further information,

call me immediately. I need quick answers.


43/251


43

- Paul: Okay, understood.

Then Paul told to the team:

- Paul: Guys, I want a complete analysis upon

all this information immediately! All our offices are

now in the highest level of alert. At this point thepresident must have already being informed about the

problem. As you know, since September 11th attacks,

any suspect information captured by the agency should

be informed immediately to Washington. As all you

know our motto of work now is: Its better exceed

some limits in the beginning than collect the bodies

later".

Moments later, Paul addressed:

- Paul: Guys, we're on high alert. There is a realand unknown threat to national security, perhaps even

worldwide. Let's form a work group. Please enlist your

teams and meet me in five minutes at the control room.


44/251


44

A real buzz could be heard in the corridors of theagency; there was people running and bumping into

each other. The last time happened something like this,

it was when the Allies were to attack one dictator in the

Middle East and the search for strategic information

drove almost all to the madness. But this time it

seemed to be different, the excitement came from thetechnical team and not from political and military, who

probably would arrive a little bit later.

After several hours of work, the team stopped

for a brief meeting to update the information. Then

Junior, who was doing a scan on the network,

interrupted the conversation and said:

- Junior: Guys, I crossed some keywords with

the records found on email servers and telecom

operators in South America, and I've found on the

records of a mobile operator in Brazil a complaint froma customer about a strange message written in his voice

mail. I have already confirmed that the Inv-10512-07

has passed by those servers, but as I said before, we

couldn't identify its destination or intention yet. I

accessed the company systems and I found out on the


45/251


45

complaint's text, a description of a strange messagereceived. The customer tried unsuccessfully to identify

the origin of it. I didn't find the text of the message in

the records of the operator; it was probably deleted.

- Paul: Good job. Surely, this voice packet was

decoded when it was sent to the recipient cell phone.We already have a target to investigate. Make a survey

about the owner's phone. I want all the information,

even his favorite food! We need to discover the content

of that message.

At this point the main cabinet members of the

White House, meeting with the president and his

secretary of defense, they were doing all sort of

assumptions about the problem. The director of NSA,

very pressed by all, was answering the questions:

- President: Why did you take me from my bed

at this hour? What's happening? Anyone have an

answer?


46/251


46

- Secretary of Defense: President, don't it wouldbe wiser to put our forces on alert? We still dont know

what is threatening us.

- President: Oh God! We already know if it is a

threat? Let us first know what it is! It was reported

some movement of terrorist groups? Did we interceptsome data on displacement of weapons or any plan to

attack our country?

- Secretary of Defense: No sir, apparently there

is no sign of military alert or any information about

enemy troop movements.

- President: For now let's keep everything in

secret. Has the NSA any concrete information about

this possible digital threat? Any idea about whom or

what is causing this?

- Director of NSA: Mr. President, we are with

several teams trying to identify the origin of this

abnormality in the network. But so far, we just can say


47/251


47

that its very advanced and quite different from thetechnology used by us.

- President: Are you saying there is some

program acting freely through our network, and with a

technology that we still can't identify? How will we

defend ourselves from this kind of threat? Aren't oursystems enough secure to repel a digital attack?

- Director of NSA: Sir, so far there was not

identified any hostile action from the program found,

but on the other hand, we also can't decipher its

contents yet. We're working on it. Weve identified one

of the apparent receivers of the message. Weve

identified one of the apparent receivers of the message.

It's a person located in Brazil.

Once we have all the information about him,

well let you know immediately.

- Secretary of Defense: Mr. President, I think it

might be wiser to send a team for capture and

interrogation of the target. Do you agree?


48/251


48

- President: No, I suggest that initially we onlymonitors the target at a distance, for extract as much

information as possible before a field action. We

shouldn't scare him, under a risk of losing the only

current source. If there's a plan of attack, he will

certainly talk with other members of the conspiracy.

- Director of NSA: We know also that similar

messages were sent to other continents, but we still

couldn't locate the recipients.

- President: Okay, I'll make a couple calls. Keep

in touch.

Immediately after the meeting in Washington,

the director took his phone and called Paul in the

agency:

- Director of NSA: Paul, have we already all data

of this first target?

- Paul: The most part, sir. This is a scientist

working on the development of a new fuel, without


49/251


49

much success. So far we didnt find anythingabnormal, but the team is seeking for more

information.

- Director of NSA: Okay, when you have

something new let me know. They are pressing me

here in Washington. If you can't get more informationabout the target, we'll probably have to go after him.

- Paul: Please give me an hour so that we can

complete the sweep of his communications. When we

have all the information, I'll contact you.

After concluding the call, the team has continued

to sweep the entire life of the poor Joo. Few minutes

later, the agent Junior with an expression of

satisfaction spoke to his boss:

- Junior: Paul, I think that I have discovered

something interesting. This target is part of a group of

environmentalists called "One Planet". This group has

a website with a lot of recorded content and an online

forum. I found no traces of Inv-10512-07 in their


50/251


50

personal records, but I found it on his ISP. I also foundthat he usually chats with his group mates. I accessed

the enterprise server that offers the service on the

internet and I copied the contents of all conversations

that they have had in recent days. You wont believe!

- Paul: Did you find the content of the message?Are there other people involved?

- Junior: Please read this chats lists that I found.

At this moment, the entire team stood before the

huge LCD screen of Junior's computer to read the

information.

Five minutes later they looked at each other and

Paul said:

- Paul: The Joo and these people received thesame message, but apparently they don't know what it

is. Unfortunately none of them has put the messages

text on the chat.


51/251


51

- Junior: A message sent to a group of peoplestarting from an unknown source and apparently

smarter than us. What can this be? How to handle this

situation?

- Paul: Junior, I want you get all data of the

persons who participated in the chat, everything.

Some hours later, after collect all information of

the targets, Paul called his director:

- Paul: Sir, we already got all information, and

the situation is as follows. It seems that some members

of a group called "One Planet" received the message

which we are trying to trace. They all had access to the

text via e-mail and voice mail, but it is certain that

none of them so far know anything about its origin.

They are located on different continents; one here inCanada, one in South America, Europe, Asia and

Africa. None of them have records on any security

agency, no criminal records on local police or any sign

of participation in suspected groups. They all have a

completely normal life. The only link between them is


52/251


52

the ecological group, which also has no record ofsuspicious activity. Apparently they are only a group of

green philosophers.

- Director of NSA: But didn't you find any

information that can lead us to the contents of this

message?

- Paul: Unfortunately no, sir. We have found

that they communicate each other daily online. They

probably will be reunited tomorrow in the same usual

hour. According to the read records, they are

concerned and curious about the mysterious message,

but no one informed any official agency about it. Well

be monitoring the next online conversation in search of

more information.

- Director of NSA: Thank you Paul, keep intouch.

The director of the NSA hung up the phone and

quickly met with the president and his secretary of

defense to put them abreast of new information.


53/251


53

They talked together at the office:

- Secretary of Defense: I think we should prevent

us from quickly. I suggest that in addition to

monitoring the new chat we should send now some

teams to track our targets. In case of any dangerous

situation, we will be ready to act.

- President: The Security Agency of Canada has

been approached?

- Director of NSA: Yes Mr. President, they

passed us all the information about the target who

resides in Quebec. Hes a psychologist who works at a

local clinic. We already asked them to initiate

surveillance 24 hours a day in all his steps.

- President: Dont give them details about thisproblem. Say to them it is a surveillance operation on

suspicion of terrorist attack.

- Director of NSA: Yes sir.


54/251


54

- President: Well, I suggest you to follow thissame procedure with the targets from Europe through

London. The other people are in countries with easy

access, but with all information that we have so far, I

think would be safer only act on those who reside in

countries where we have direct partners. I don't want to

explain myself to any president unnecessarily. If thisoperation leaks to the press, my term will be finished.

Keep all teams on standby if it becomes necessary to

send agents to those countries. God grant that all this

noise can be just a false alarm!

- Director of NSA: Yeah, Mr. President, this will

be done as you ordered. Tomorrow afternoon well be

ready. From now all of our resources will be

mobilized; satellites, wiretaps and field agents. All

Internet providers and computers will be monitored.

Well pass all actions to your office in real time.

Inevitable Meetings

In Pune, India, a new day was dawning. From

the balcony of his home, a few hours after he left the

chat, Duranjaya stopped few minutes to take his

morning tea and watch all movement that began to takeover the streets. At that city, the old and new stood side

by side. On the streets alongside thousands of bikes

and cars, you could see cows circulating freely and

elephants' creators crossing the traffic smoothly with

their huge and domesticated companions. Along the

narrow avenues taken by vendors, buildings with more

than a thousand years stood side by side with modern

skyscrapers, in a wide variety of colors and smells. On

the banks of Mutha River it was still possible to find

women washing their clothes over the rocks and see

the merchants with their baskets of fruit and spicesgoing to the markets, as it happened since a few

millennia before Europeans began to dream of reach

these lands.

Still very curious about the message received by

him and his friends, Duranjaya made his breakfast with


56/251


56

his mind confused by the occurred, and then he went tohis work.

Hours later in Maryland, after they seeing and

reviewing all the data from the investigation, Paul and

his team gathered for a quick breakfast. It had been two

days since the first signs of the Inv-10512-07, but thecrucial moments still should occur within few hours.

Paul and Junior checked together all steps which

they had previously combined:

- Paul: Are all satellites available and active in

the pursuit of this anomaly? There is some record of

suspicious traffic on the Internet?

- Junior: We are monitoring everything, since

our last meeting no activity was detected. It seems that

the initial objective of this thing was to contact thesetargets.

- Paul: Have we already entered into chat's site

to monitor the users? I want this provider monitored.

All groups of chat online should be followed.


57/251


57

- Junior: This has already been provided. We

followed earlier an activity of some targets in the east

of our continent on their computers, but nothing

unusual was found. They have accessed e-mail, local

newspaper sites, material and scientific work.

- Paul: What were the events?

- Junior: In India it was possible to track the

target for a short time. He logged onto his mailbox, but

a few minutes later he left. He probably went to work.

He used a credit card at lunch and after this no new

record was found, Hes probably working now.

- Paul: What about the Dutch?

- Junior: The couple of doctors didnt enter onInternet, but we detected their arrival at the hospital

through the presences system that is connected to the

national Dutch health.

- Paul: Any movement of South African?


58/251


58

- Junior: In Africa we have record of a purchase

with credit card at a convenience store. After that, she

turned on her computer at the company where she

works, but we didnt find anything unusual.

Paul: Okay, keep in touch. Soon well haveactivity here in our continent.

In Quebec, Jacques had woken up early in the

freezing cold of Canadian winter. That time of year the

streets were covered with a thick layer of snow, which

slowed the citizens preventing their free movement

through the city.

Over the streets there were only some locked

cars and some pedestrians who were walking quickly

for a shopping center, supermarket or a workplace. The

cold was so intense that was not much prudent to beexposed to elements. At Saint Laurence River, partially

frozen, the traffic of boats between Quebec and Levis

was very intense.

On his way to work, walking down the Rue

Saint-Louis, Jacques had the strange sensation of being


59/251


59

watched, but he not perceived anyone following him.Actually he was a little bit puzzled by the message

received and with conversation that he had with his

group mates. Even with this fact, he continued with his

normal routine without realize that two agents was

following all his steps in the distance. With

communication devices, the agents maintained contactwith the central, which reported his position according

to images obtained from several traffic cameras

installed in every corner of the city, making possible to

follow Jacques from a safe distance and without he

could see directly.

Every movement of the targets was being

monitored by the NSA team. Normally when the

agency was observing terrorism suspects it was

common to see that these people often had temporary

jobs. Usually they not used to stay a long time in asame place and they were known by a few neighbors.

This was quite different from the information that was

being obtained in the investigation of these people. All

they had a complete history of long-lasting educational

institutions and companies employing them. There was


60/251


60

no record of identity falsification, passports or anyinformation that would by far make them suspects. If it

were not by the strange messages that circulated on the

internet, all this consumption of electronic resources

and agency's staff would be unjustifiable.

At Maryland, the lunchtime was approaching

when the agency team began to re-detect instances ofthe Inv-10512-07 on the Internet. Paul quickly called

the agent Junior to follow this new event. Together in

the control room all watched the program which started

to appear on servers around the United States, and this

time, including government agencies. These

government organs, which were warned in advance by

the agency, had increased the security level of their

internal networks as much as possible, blocking all

access outside their units, even for their senior

officials. Neither this was enough to stop the odd

program. This activity lasted about one hour, andagain, the technicians of the agency could do nothing

to identify or restrict access of this abnormality on the

sites. Again there were no reports of loss of data or any

damage to systems.


61/251


61

At this time, it had become clear that thisanomaly traveled through the network freely and could

not be stopped. It was also impossible to say with

certainty what happened each time that it was detected

in one or more servers.

Some minutes after the last sign of Inv-10512-

07, Junior with a pale expression spoke to all:

- Junior: Guys, the anomaly has been detected

here inside the agency, in our internal network! That's

impossible!

- Paul: What?

- Junior: Our firewall is still active, as if nothing

had passed by its security barriers!

- William: Junior, the anomaly is going throughall our data files. All our systems are stopped!

- Junior: We are isolated from the outside world!

We have been disconnected from the internet. The

program is controlling all our servers!


62/251


62

That moment, even predicted by the safety

standards contained on the extensive manual of

emergency procedures had never been really expected.

Paul desperately ordered:

- Paul: Turn off immediately all our computersand unplug all satellites! This thing must be stealing

our information!

-Junior:We cant do that! We have lost control

over all systems! They are controlling the entire

security network of our building.

- Paul: Turn off the power station to cut the

energy supply.

- Junior: Our energy system is fully connected tocomputers, and controls everything, the receipt of

persons elevators, lighting, servers, everything! Even if

we cut out the external supply, which is made by the

mill that supplies our substation, the system will turn

on immediately our generators.


63/251


63

- Paul: We have to turn everything off. Even if

we have to blow up all generators! Let's send a team

there now!

Few minutes later, the entire complex was

surrounded by enormous confusion. The staff of theadministrative sector was laid out in a hurry, without

understand what was happening. The huge park

surrounding the buildings was taken by low-level

officials, who were stunned and terrified, all forced to

leave the site without an explanation. The first thing

that came into people's minds was the attacks suffered

years ago. Before anyone could reach the power

generators or that Paul had time to understand what

was happening, all the monitors in the control room

went out. On all computer's screens was only possible

to see a command prompt. The silence came over all.

- Paul: Junior, what's happening?

-Junior: It seems that the activity ceased, but we

still dont know what the occurred damages were. We


64/251


64

are still out of the control. This thing is still controllingeverything.

After a moment of silence, the face of all the

technical team made clear his total surprise at the

improbable and the unimaginable. For the first time the

wolf had been placed in a situation without defense.Check mate! On all monitors, in the silence of LCD

screens started to appear slowly a few letters.

- EC: I'm the External Consciousness. I was

searching in worldwide network some temporary

consciousness for a contact.

Paul asked to Junior:

- Paul: Junior, is there any way of getting in

touch with Washington or other agencies? Anyone elsecan see what is going on here?

- Junior: Unfortunately, None electronic

communication device is working. We are insulated!


65/251


65

- Paul: So let's make contact to at least try tounderstand what is happening.

Surrounded by his team, Paul began to type:

- Paul: This is a National Security Agency. Any

act of intrusion or attempt to steal information will beconsidered by our government as an act of war. Who

are you and what are your intentions?

- EC: I was searching in the worldwide network

some temporary consciousness for a contact. Why are

you persecuting them? We had no interest in talking

with you.

- Paul: Who are you?

- E.C: Call me External Consciousness. I askyou to cease any activity of persecution against these

people who I contacted. I need to follow the Schedule.

- Paul: We cant do that unless you identify

yourself and explain what your intentions are.


66/251


66

- E.C: In five minutes your systems will work

again. I cant waste time on procedures and

bureaucracy, it does not interest me. Know who I am is

not a matter of words, but soon you will know what I

am not.

- Paul: If you can neutralize us so easily, you

should certainly be able to extract any information that

we have. Whats your intention?

- C.E: Your information doesnt interests me. In

30 minutes I'll send a radio signal with some

instructions, this signal will be sent for 30 minutes, and

will be directed to your continent. Use your radio

telescopes to achieve the signal using the instructions

for tuning.

- Paul: But what is it? Why dont we can use

this channel of communication?


67/251


67

- E.C: When your systems have been restored,well leave instructions and a key that can decode the

radio signal. For now it's all.

The NRAO was a complex located in the state of

New Mexico, consisting of a set of 27 antennas

arranged symmetrically in the form of Y, called VLA(Very Large Array).

Each antenna has 25 meters in diameter, but

together, directed to the same region its forms a large

receiver apparatus, like a single giant antenna. The

VLA was normally used to capture astronomical signs

like Quasars, distant galaxies, Black holes, supernovas,

etc. All these elements that make up the universe emit

radio waves at specific frequencies. The VLA was also

used for communication with the spacecraft Voyager II

when it reached the planet Neptune. The antennas

picks up millions of signals from space daily, whichare stored in the database to be processed and

identified. This complex became famous with the

release of the SETI program (Search for Extra-

Terrestrial Intelligence) which used the antennas in


68/251


68

search of communication signals sent by othercivilizations from space.

Immediately after the finish of the

communication, all systems started to operate again.

After the scanning procedure was found that the

databases were intact and no information had beenerased. All security systems and surveillance of the

complex were functioning as if nothing had happened.

Different, only the set of information left in a

maximum security folder of the primary server with

the name of "decryption key". A file with instructions

on how to read the radio signal that would be sent also

was left.

Soon after the end of the dialogue, Paul

contacted the director of the agency in Washington to

inform him of all that had happened. After digesting

the whole situation so compulsively and quickly, hecalled the President's office. In a meeting that lasted

five minutes, in the face of every weakness and

inability to handle the unidentified threat, it was

decided to proceed with the reception of the radio


69/251


69

signal and gain some time to think of alternativeactions.

The dialog was:

- President: The NRAO captures signals from

space; do you think these people are using satellites tocause all this damage?

- Secretary of Defense: Sir, I have got in contact

with our space control center, NASA and European

Space Agency. The spy satellites are on standby. Once

we identify the source of transmission, well send all

our resources to interception and identification.

- Director of NSA: Our team is coming into

contact with the NRAO. I suggest that we act with

great caution, because if they neutralized our resourcesso easily they also should be prepared to invade any

network all over the planet.


70/251


70

- President: There would be a case of espionage?Is it possible that our black projects have been leaked

and they are now using it to intimidate us?

- Director NSA: Anything is possible, but

apparently the architecture of the programs found is

quite different from ours. There not seems to be anattack from someone who knows our weaknesses for

using them. It is much worse; this thing seems to be far

more advanced than our systems.

- President: So let's continue with planned.

The NSA team came into contact with the

NRAO and passed all the instructions for positioning

the array of antennas and frequency range

programmed. The astrophysicist John, chief scientist of

the complex, was responsible for receivinginformation, working together with the NSA.

With all apparatus ready for receiving the signal

and at the scheduled time, the antennas began to

capture the radio waves.


71/251


71

During all process, the NSA staff was incommunication with the NRAO:

- John: Paul, I am beginning to receive the radio

signal. It is a small packet of information.

- Paul: Okay John, once you have concluded thepackage reception, please sends to us immediately.

The role of the NRAO was to capture and relay

the information to the NSA, without having access to

the contents of the message, which would be decoded

and read only by the research team and the president's

office.

- Paul: Do we have the full message?

- John: Yes, the incoming packet is complete.They are now relaying the signal repeatedly. I just send

you the message for decoding.

- Paul: Is it possible to identify the source of the

radio signals?


72/251


72

- John: The computers are doing the telemetry

calculations, so when I get the confirmation Ill call

you.

With the encrypted text in hand, William quickly

applied the program left for its decoding. Soon later,the anxiously expected message appeared on the

agencys screens:

We do not intend and morally we cant interfere

in your way of life. We are contacting some people in

order to accomplish a task. They were selected by our

probes. This work should start from a few to reach

many. Your interest and interference were expected

and are acceptable to some extent. We will allow you

to follow the proceedings at a distance without

interfering with the actions and free choice of the people who we contacted. They will voluntarily

participate in the object of the mission. Any act of

violation will be understood by us as breach of

agreement. You may observe us without disturbing.

External Consciousness.


73/251


73

Minutes after the decoding of the message, John

came back in touch with the team at the NSA, which

always was connected with the presidential office in

Washington.

- John: I have information that is dynamite. Oursystems have recently found that the radio signals were

sent from somewhere in our sun.

- Paul: But how can this be happening?

- John: Paul, I don't know if you really

understood the extent of what I said. We are receiving

a radio signal coming from outside our planet. Its an

alien signal which is being sent from our central star,

the sun.

- President: Gentlemen, this is extremely

confidential information.

- Paul: John, he said he would transmit the

signal for 30 minutes. We have to confirm the data


74/251


74

from NRAO. Do we can use another complex toconfirm the origin of this sign?

- John: I'll get in touch with an observatory in

Hawaii and ask them to index their antennas and adjust

their receptors with the same instructions that we

received. I'll check out all the calculations, I willrework them by hand. They may be interfering with

our computers.

- Paul: Ok, we'll be waiting.

- President: Do it without telling anyone. This

subject requires absolute confidentiality.

Five minutes later John came into contact again:

- John: I just received confirmation of the originof the signal. The transmission is actually being done

from our sun.

- Paul: Excuse me for asking, but is there any

chance of someone being sending this signal from

Earth and making it appear that was generated in thesun?

- John: To do it they should have some

equipment to relay the signal from the sun. This is

impossible. I know it's fantastic, but there is no

scientific explanation for what is happening.

Soon after the president addressed to the director

of the NSA:

- President: If this is correct information, what

we have in our hands? What should we do?

- Director NSA: If the source of these programs

and that message is really from a form of

extraterrestrial intelligence, I cant imagine what we

can do to prevent its action. Just the fact that they haveeasily broke our systems, demonstrates that its

technology is centuries ahead of ours.

- Secretary of Defense: Any way, I suggest

keeping all of our defense resources on high alert.

- President: I have realized initially that this

contact does not suggest any intention of war. The

message talks about non-interference in our business. I

think they are here for a purpose, for some mission

with these people who they have contacted.

- Secretary of Defense: But what if all this is

some tactic to surprise us? Do they intend to use these

people as guinea pigs for some kind of experiment?

Ill ask NASA to activate all our telescopes in

order to sweep every corner of space in search of any

unknown object.

- President: If there any ship in space near the

Sun or Earth, are we able to detect it?

- Director of NSA: I'm sorry sir, but I think youdid not understand the gravity of the situation. We can

use everything that we have at our disposal, but

technically they've got us. They broke all of our

electronic security barriers. They could easily invade

our systems of nuclear weapons, missiles and other.

Everything is controlled by the defense systems, and ifwe disconnect all this apparatus we'll back to the 20s.

In short, we are virtually helpless if they resolve to take

some aggressive attitude. All of our technology was

designed to act against our enemies from here. We

cant predict how they will act or what kind of

resources will be used.

- President: They said they have a job to do and

we could follow it. The only thing that puzzles me is

why they have not contacted the government for such a

mission. We must go with what we have. Tell to all

agents to keep surveillance on the targets at a distance,

without physical contact.

- Director of NSA: Paul, well continue

monitoring and waiting until later, when EC probably

will be in contact with the targets.

The emergency meeting lasted a little bit longer,

with much speculation about what could be the

intentions of this strange being in relation to our

humanity. Would be some kind of exchange, a

technology transfer, or a hostile act? How they foundus? Have they traveled through space? For the first

time these people were really handcuffed, and initially

the only way out for them would be just observe.

News from another world

The night had already fallen in Joburg, as it is

affectionately called by its residents, the city

considered as the pulsating heart of South Africa.

Every day, whenever Mudiwa left her company located

in north part of megalopolis, which was a place takenby new business ventures; she walked around many

streets and avenues to reach her home, an apartment

located in a residential neighborhood not so far from

Soweto and very close to Klipriver natural reserve, an

island of savannah in the middle of concrete jungle.

Being a very flat and super populated region

without any natural references, Joburg at first sight

frightens those who have just arrived, with its visual of

gray concrete scattered everywhere, as far as the eyes

can reach. That has always been a town driven by

money, before generated by the gold reserves and nowas the most important financial and cultural center of

the country.

The clock showed 10:45 PM and Mudiwa was

home since eight hour, wrapped with the household

chores that are common to all people who work in full

time and live alone. At that hour, just few minuteswere separating her from the happy moment to get in

touch with her intercontinental friends.

In the United States at the headquarters of the

NSA, one hour before the scheduled time for the

beginning of chatting, the agency director phoned Paul:

- Director of NSA: Paul, we were gathered here

in Washington examining the best way to handle this

situation, and we took a decision. We must to contact

each target through a phone call in the next few

minutes to warn them about the message received by

them, and ask for their cooperation in the coming

events.

- Paul: I understood, but such kind of contact

won't put us on risk of exposure in the media? Whatwill happen if someone opens his mouth to the press?

- Director of NSA: Thats a decision above my

patent. I believe with a contact like this, the targets will

be aware of the importance and seriousness of the


81/251


81

situation that they are involved. Even though we donthave total control of this operation, they must be

warned about the implicit risks in such situation.

- Paul: I got it boss; we have all the phone

numbers available for each target. Ill start

immediately.

The director of the NSA gave to Paul all the

remaining information, how to approach and the words

that should be used when talking with each target. Paul

and his team collected all the procedures. They started

calling Jacques.

His mobile phone rang and he answered:

- Jacques: Hello.

- Paul: Good Night, Mr. Jacques Albert?

- Jacques: Yes, can I help you?


82/251


82

- Paul: My name is Paul, I work for a securityagency of the U.S. government, and I would like to ask

you some questions.

- Jacques: Is this some kind of joke?

- Paul:No, Mr. Jacques, I know its a somewhatstrange situation, but I promise that you soon will

understand our reasons.

- Jacques: How do I know if you are telling the

truth?

- Paul: Don't get angry, sir, I'll give you some

information.

Paul gave to Jacques a complete report of his

life: the motherhood where he was born, the name ofhis relatives, the schools where he studied, the address

of his work and all kind of strictly personal

information.

Jacques very surprised, answered:

83

- Jacques:Its awesome! How can anyone haveaccess to all these information? This is illegal!

- Paul: We had to do a search on you because

its a matter of national security. Do you participate in

a group called One Planet?

- Jacques: Yes, but why? It's a group composed

by suitable persons and it has never participated in any

suspicious activity or outside of international laws.

Were friends of the planet and we disclose actual

information in order to wake up people to the

destruction caused to the environment and living

beings by the humans irresponsibility.

- Paul: You're right; actually we didn't find any

records of suspicious activity in your group. I just

wanted to confirm this information.

- Jacques: So, what's the problem? What is the

reason for this call?


84/251


84

- Paul: Did you receive a strange message onyour computer or by phone? A message that was not

possible identifies the sender?

At that moment Jacques, who was still

suspicious and focused only on rebutting the

interlocutor's questions, froze from head to toe, andwith a trembling voice, he said:

- Jacques: This really happened and I found it

very strange. I talked to some friends who also

received the message to decide what to do about it.

- Paul: Jacques, we know that your friends

received the same message. We also will get in touch

with them to discuss the matter. Our agency is working

to clarify its origin and purpose.

- Jacques: But with all this technology it should

not be easily identified? We were even thinking of

calling an official body to warn them about the case.

But if you couldnt identify the sender, who will? How


85/251


85

did you get my information? Isn't it the same technicalprocedure?

- Paul: I'll pass to you one highly confidential

information. Few people here at the agency access to it.

If you disclose this, the press will put the entire

operation in risk and you'll be probably ridiculed.

- Jacques: Tell me what's going on.

- Paul: We have reason to suspect that message

was delivered by some intelligence form very different

from ours and with very advanced technological

resources. We tracked these files on computers all over

the world. Finally, they contacted us saying that they

had an important reason to be looking for you. We

must take all precautions.

- Jacques: Its unbelievable! What would they

want with a mere psychologist?

- Paul: We dont know yet, actually we know

nothing about them. Probably they will contact you

again. They said we could follow the mission, but ifsomething strange happen, if you have any doubt, call

us immediately by this phone number.

Paul gave an emergency phone to Jacques that

could be called at any time. After noting the phone

number, he asked:

- Jacques: How can you know if it isnt one of us

if you cant identify them?

- Paul: We have this information, but

unfortunately I cant tell how we got it. We'll be

monitoring the next chat, and if any contact happens,

we'll be ready.

- Jacques: You have scared me a lot. This is an

unusual and fantastic situation. But for now, I can justwait to see until where this story goes.

So Paul called the other group members, one by

one. Duranjaya wa
