Hey Jim, what's this? I think there's an anomaly in the system..
"I think you're right. Well there's an IP. Try to trace the address."
It traces to a green and blue planet billions of light-years away, it's registered as a primal planet, giant reptiles rule it with comically short arms.
...
This can't be right. Who sent the signal then?
[On Earth]----- [In some kid's room]
"T-the g-galactic w-ebb, what is this? This can't be real, my mom always told me to watch out for internet scams, but this looks so realistic."
"There's plasma cannons, energy swords, mechs, p-portable planets! But they don't accept dollars, only something called UC or universal currency."
"What!!"
[Access Revoked]
"This is unfair, but this must mean it was real. A-are they going to kill me for knowing about the website?"
[In an office elsewhere in the universe]
Hey Jim, I think we should send a team out to this planet; whatever the website logs have on the planet must be outdated.
"Agreed, the user even checked the currencies as though they were on the website to purchase something, they must be a sentient being.. on rather outdated technology, they deserve a confrontation!"
Welp, 2 of us in agreeance is sufficient justification to send out a pair of operatives, I'm thinking a primal combatant in case those reptiles are still around and a patriarch enchanter in case there's a society of some sort.
"I approve! How soon should we send them? I'm thinking overnight shipping, so there's less room for a significant shift in the situation."
Same, if there's something special there, imagine the bonus we'll get from discovering it, I'm salivating at just the thought
[Pair POV]
Hey, Kim looks like we got an assignment to update the status of primal planet 3-396642, assuming the development of a sentient species, the possible potential for society.
"Fun, let's do the usual rundown if there's a weak society."
They then together said, "Scare them with strength, charm them into submission!"
That never gets old; I look forward to terrorizing a society alongside you once more!
"Indeed, just don't bite more than you can chew and get injured this time; it makes my job a million times more difficult..."
That happened once! It was only because they had a galactic infiltrator guiding them and you know it too.. That coward would've never been able to damage me had it been a fair show of strength.
[24 hours later]
-The world leaders met suddenly because of an unexpected disturbance.-
"This ufo was traveling far too quickly to be an asteroid, it has slowed down as it neared the planet as well, and you mean to tell me that you think it's just a coincidence!" Said the president
"If this was a higher species that was capable of spatial travel at this level they should have long comprehended ways to cloak their spatial travel so that we wouldn't even know they were coming, it surely isn't aliens as you suggest!" Said an African leader
"Unless that's exactly what they wanted.. our attention and they've got it, we know from what's been shown to us thus far where they will approximately land, we should have a welcoming party, how would it look if they made it obvious that they were coming yet no one was there to greet them upon their arrival!? Said the Prime Minister
"Since we know the approximate landing location we ought to have the military meet them, with nukes aimed at the location if all else fails. Since they're so obvious they must be confident in their strength and we must be prepared to match that at all costs! You can go meet them but they may just want all the world leaders there to cull them all at once, I won't stand for it!" Said the Chinese ruler
"Then let's compromise, we can't know for sure if this is all some sick coincidence or not, let's have military might in the area, tanks, artillery, planes, mines, snipers in nearby buildings, but not nukes as the environmental consequences would be catastrophic. We will additionally send National Representatives to be near the area in case a fight breaks out but close enough that if they wish to have an audience they will hardly have to wait." Said the Australian Prime Minister
"Well we hardly have any time so let's vote on the matter."
Ultimately the Prime Ministers' plan was the winner of the majority of votes.
I'm trying to stop reading web novels, so I'll write them instead!
