The Lightyears Series - Episode 21 - The Oracle

“Why not?  I thought that was the point--to find the cure.  I found the cure.  It works.  I know that because I created it while in captivity.”

“That was not the point.  You should be smarter than that.  We cannot allow you human beings to destroy our planet and get away with it.  You come to our planet and set up that monstrosity of a dome that houses humans like you.  We lured you all here with that disease to take you out.  Someone had to kill all you disgusting humans.”

I trained my weapon on her.  “Aren’t you human?”

She shook her head and insisted, wrinkling her nose, “No, absolutely not.  I and every member of the Island Committee are Quavetezhdan.  We are the Oracle.  The people who created this game to lure humans into our trap.  Your people have gotten away with invading and stealing people’s land for centuries.  It is time you stopped.”

“Except that you are taking out innocents.  People, like me and my crew, who did not choose to inhabit your land and steal it.  You are not as noble as you think you are.  You are killing people because they stole your land.  You are also killing people who did nothing to you.”

“You are the worst of them all.  Your parents came here, heading that crusade to erect that Dome.  That’s why we had to take them out, and anyone tainted by their DNA.”

“My parents are dead?”

She laughed a maniac cackle.  “We reprogrammed the DiagnMonitors to read us as your parents.  Then we lured you to our planet, mentally get into your brain…and then you married Josh, the only human we would have saved, to save that boyfriend of yours.  We had to kill Josh because he kept protecting you and all his friends.  We could not have that.  You all have to die.”  She produced a weapon and shot me in the chest.  When I didn’t fall, she kept shooting.  

I kicked the gun out of her hand and tackled her to the ground, just as more of her friends jumped down into the laboratory.

Jake jumped in and helped me battle the people.
