Alfonzo, Gus, Clark, Drake, Elise, and Snips all sat together in Clark's living room. Three more guests arrived. A female elephant named Uma, Gloria (Alfonzo's younger sister) and a white tigress named Gretchen joined them. Clark set a bowl of pretzels on the table. Drake eyed the three newcomers. "Why did you invite these three?" Drake asked. "They have never seen a human before."
Gloria said, "I am Alfonzo's sister, I am open to the idea that not all humans are space monsters and I don't regard you as someone dangerous. The only thing I am surprised about is the fact that Alfonzo only told me about you three days ago."
Alfonzo shrugged, "Hey, how was I supposed to know you would not freak out at the sight of Drake?"
The elephant interrupted. "I have no problems with meeting an Earth human. I am a self-employed paranormal investigator and extraterrestrials is one of my specialties--besides psychic energy readings and haunted places."
The muscular tigress said, "I only came here because Clark told me about Drake. He gave me a strange quiz about how open I am to intelligent life on other planets. He told me I passed and then said he had been sheltering a human for the past few weeks. I thought he was joking around and decided to play along until I walked though the front door and there was Drake."
"Are there any more guests coming?" Drake asked.
"Nope." Clark replied.
"Good." Drake said feeling exasperated. "Now I am going to tell you stories about the secret space programs that you should know about. Fair warning, these stories are the things nightmares are made of."
Alfonzo said, "We are all adults here, we can handle it."
"You think that way now." Drake said. "The secret space program on Earth has been around since the world wars on my planet."
"How many world wars were there?" Elise asked.
"Two so far, but a third one is underway." Drake said. "Anyway, there were really bad political groups who created their own secret space programs to learn about ET technology such as time travel or cloning human beings or tesseracts. Some were even looking for star souls who incarnated as humans with ESP. My planet has comics about fictitious superheroes but in truth, they exist but they are weaponized by elite groups and the underground military to fight each other. One time, there was an experiment the American SSP were trying to conduct on making navy ships invisible to enemy eyes. They used the experimental technology on a ship called "The Eldridge" and at first it looked like the ship was invisible but it got zapped in between dimensions. They ship reappeared but the results were horrifying. Many sailors were vanishing and reappearing and once they fully materialized, burst into flames and water had no affect on the burning sailors. Some of the other sailors were turned inside out when they solidified back into the third density like their atoms were not put back together correctly. Some of the sailors who were semi-physical were walking through the walls and floors of the ships until they completely solidified. The poor navy officers were stuck with parts of them attached to the walls and floors they were walking through!"
The group gasped in shock. Uma asked, "Well, were they fixed?"
Drake shook his head, "The unfortunate sailors who were stuck all died. The ones who were able to remain whole lost their sanity and had to go mental institutions. The people in charge decided that they wanted to further the experiments so they initiated the 'Montauk Projects'. They kidnapped troublesome teenagers and runaway children and used them for time-traveling experiments. Some died in other time periods. Others got stuck between times when power outages happened in the laboratories. The kids (boys and girls) were tested for psychic abilities, but the boys and girls were kept separately on different floors. Another experiment happened where there was alien tech called "the Montauk chair" was used on one test subject. With it, the person seated could manifest anything in his mind into reality. He thought of sheets of glass and there it was. The chair itself could also open portals in-between realities. The in-between is a hellish realm of monsters and creatures that no living human has ever seen before. One of the monsters broke out of a portal and many SSP scientists and soldiers were all slaughtered on two floors. The men somehow managed to get the creature back into the in-between and close the portal. Alister Crowley, the guy I mentioned who was summoning moon children, found methods of opening the doors to the in-between by dark magic. He sent people in there to see what would happen. Some never returned, others came back insane. The SSP took some of Crowley's notes and used technology to open the portal rather than black magic. I listened to some of the tapes during my time in the SSP and I heard horrifying screeches of savage animals in a state of ecstasy. I spent many nights with horrifying nightmares about whatever was making those noises. Many times, some of the creatures were captured and put in special cages to contain them. Some people were sent into the rooms were the imprisoned things were. I knew a few of my companions went in there and some of them almost lost their life force. These things do not eat flesh, they devour orgone energy (life force energy). Another experiment they tried was tesseract experiments. Kidnapped children were forced to go through them and came out the other end with arms and legs missing or in a vegetative state. That was why I was hesitant on using a star gate to come here. I am glad I was lucky enough to not end up on a hostile planet and my body in one piece. There were millions of other experiments that were conducted with similar horrifying results. One project was a mind-control experiment called the 'Tunnel of Love'. With it, they used mind-control on a cult and were successful into leading them into mass deaths."
"But isn't there anyone out there who can stop them?" Gloria asked.
"Yes, they are called 'The Alliance'. They focus on making technology to benefit others and are working tireless fighting the SSP and trying to shut down their cruel experiments. I was hoping to find them, but that didn't work out the way I would hope. They can still find me, but for now, I am glad to be here with you guys."
Alfonzo nodded. "Glad you were able to adjust living with us. Is their any good news?"
Drake nodded, "The Alliance has the upper hand now." They mammalians clapped and cheered at the message of hope Drake gave. "But be warned, the SSP will stop at nothing to prevent us from helping the Alliance from thwarting their evil plans. We all need to be ready. And I have plans"
