“INSECT ALIEN “speaking from the communicator screen –“professor lumiere you are very well known in the circle of highest in the land in this country , they will listen to you!

If people come to know of our existence there will be panic in this world we do not want that, therefore we want you to convey our demands to the innermost circle of power in this government.

Lumiere- what are your demands?

We are from a distant planet we require certain metals which we do not have like gold and even more valuable lead!—answers the “insect alien”

We want 50 tons of gold and 10 tons of lead; if we are not given these we will destroy your major cities!

A frightened Joe  clinging to Garth’s arm-oh they always have this atomizers[ ray of destruction] on them!

“insect alien “going on-you keep our demands before the president and council of ministers!

Take this communicator with us so that I will be able to talk to the president directly!

The communicator screen again goes blank!

Lumiere –it comes on and goes off by some kind of remote control.

Garth- professor you telephone higher authorities now!

Lumiere asks garth- what you make of these “insect” aliens. You have more experience with extraterrestrial life forms than us!

joe asks garth-“you read a lot of comic strips”?

no I  have more personal experience jo I am surprised by these “insects”

you are astonished? Why they have made everything so clear!—professor lumiere asks garth!

Garth- have they done really! I wonder!

PAGE-08

MR SECRETAY PROFESSOR lumiere calling, I have to speak with you on an urgent international matter right now!

 I cannot talk at length on telephone on this matter but rest assured president is going to give this top priority!

Garth – when higher authorities come to know about all this security service will be start shadowing us and I won’t like that!

Professor lumiere goes to to white house with the communicator!-“I will tell the president to  include you in our deliberations later on!

But I don’t see how we can outwit these aliens we will be better off getting rid of them by handing over 50 tons gold and 10 tons of lead comments lumiere helplessly as he prepares to leave

Afterwards- garth is in conversation with zeek and joe “ may be he is right ! but I would like to see our  “insect”  friends more closely ,will you two accompany me?

Zeek- I hate those “insects”

Joe- I will do whatever you would say garth!

President of USA is having a tense meeting with his advisory council- secretary of state briefs him-“ mr. president I cannot disbelieve a  respectable person of the status of professor lumiere.

“Anybody can try and make an illusion”

“I am not a mere illusion” says the alien as the communicator screen suddenly stars glowing!

Mr President! Has professor lumiere told you of or demands?

President -that he has done but how can I believe that if we refuse to accede to your demands an advanced civilization like yours will try to destroy our cities?

“insect alien”-  do not have any doubts on that account , our moral principles  are entirely different from yours in this matter !

General Sylvester intervenes- Mr. President I would like to know what makes these aliens think that they can destroy our cities, an advanced civilization like ours?

PAGE-09

AN angry and combative general Sylvester stares at the alien on the screen-“let us see who prevents us from finding out the hiding place of your ship and destroying it by dropping an atomic bomb?

Alien- we have enough means to prevent such primitive form of attack!

General Sylvester-We have other sophisticated   instruments- world’s most advanced anti missile technology how can you even think of launching an attack on us?

Secretary- Mr. president, general sylvestor is unnecessarily prolonging this argument!

 The president-Let him speak  a firm view only can  probably win us the argument!

Garth flies towards west accompanied by zeek and Joe in charted plane-

Zeek- are you sure you can fly this airplane

Garth- don’t worry I hold the license and I have paid for its rent!

Zeek! Tell me about these insects in detail once again!

Joe- this is surprising that despite telling you all about them those bombs in our body have not exploded , Garth do you have any sort of control over these bombs?

Garth -- they are not as powerful as they sound, I intend to find out more about them!

Joe—you are a unique man Garth .there aren’t many like you!

Zeek- why did you leave that small radio set back in professor’s hotel room son?

Garth- so that we will be able to make contact him if we are able to fid out anything about these “insects”

Meanwhile in president house general Sylvester is furious—“ I don’t think that a handful of “isects” can beat us!”

Probably we will have to give you some proof!- says the alien!

As a proof of our destructive power we will give you a small demonstration on a target of your choice !

General Sylvester—we are also not helpless … and we know how to deal with your lies!

Sylvester- Mr. president with your permission we may ask these insects to destroy the head of president Lincoln at rush more memorial!

PAGE 10

RASHMORE MEMORIAL WHERE GINT SIZE HEADS OF PREVIUS PRESIDETS OF UNITED STATES WERE CARVED OUT OF ROCK!

Ok …. One of our observer is now watching Rushmore memorial !

Alien- ok our technicians are now looking for the area which you have selected to assess our capabilities!

Sylvetor-- you cannot trick me with your lies, your plan will never succeed!

Alien – in only ten seconds you will find out that we do not need to trick you with lies

Alien—so you want us to destroy the head of president lincon at rush more memorial..? so be it!

Observers saw that the huge stone head is shattered into pieces!

Alien- well?

Proff. Lumiere- what happened Mr. president?

President- Lincoln head at Rushmore was blown to pieces!

Sylvestor- it is impossible there must be some trick!

President- calm down general hard line is not going to work… it is clear that if we donot obey the demands made by these aliens they are capable of destroying us!

President of America bows down—the quantity of gold and lead asked by you will be arranged, but it will take time, and there should not be any panic amongst our people!

Alien ---till you give us these things I will speak to you at every 12 hours intervals!

Proff. lumiere knows the location of our hide out in the meantime if anyone tries to enter within 5 mile radius of the site we will consider them as enemies and destroy them!

PAGE-11

PRESIDENT- General I want a protective ring to be thrown around a 10 mile radius of the space ship of these aliens and nobody should enter this area without my prior permission.

Sylvester- very well Mr. President, but there will already be some people within that area.

President—only a few farmers, what can we do about them except to hope that they will not indulge in any provocative activities.

Night in Blue Ridge Mountains – Garth and companions are travelling in a jeep on a mountainous rough terrain---

Garth—we will have to go on foot from here on, zeek how far is the valley where the space ship is from here?

Zeek- about 20 miles, can we take a nap here for a while before we proceed further?

Garth- I am sorry but my guess is the soldiers will throw a protective ring around that area before dawn.

Garth tries to shake sleeping Joe awake--- Joe wake up, we will have to move in to the ring immediately now if we want to reach these “insects”

Meanwhile in Washington- believe me! you need not  provide  my friend Garth any protective  security cover!

Security man- professor these conditions apply to you also.

Security person- we don’t know but we have our orders not to allow you or Garth and those two others to speak with anybody.

Agents of security service find lumiere’s flat empty –it seems our bids have flown!

Garth and those people must be in danger ,we will pass on the message to save them quickly and bring them out –says a secret service agent.

Lumiere- this instrument was not here before, it seems Garth is taking action in a two way radio his own

Morning in blue ridge mountains-

Zeek- that valley is only a few miles away Garth where that space ship is..

Garth-Then we will sleep for a few hours now.

PAGE-012

After tracking for several hour in that jig jag rough terrain –

Joe-- “there it is the alien space ship, last time we saw, it was not visible!”

I mean we were not able to see it…Garth- I wonder why they have their invisibility screen, why are they showing it now.

Suddenly an insect alien is seen floating out of the space ship-

Garth--- zeek! Don’t shoot till I ask you to…

Joe- pa! Do whatever he says!

Zeek- cruel “insects!” they killed my friend Sam!

Garth [thinking to himself] ---he has not seen us, he is in a hurry …that “insect “is using ordinary jets to float not any actual antigravity force!

The “insect” has flown up to a cave in the cliff face while Garth and friends are watching from behind a boulder!

Joe-“is he using jets to fly?

I have read about all the lizard men of lurga and other space creatures they all use anti gravitational force!

Garth-yes

Garth – wait here till I signal you I am going after him!

Garth climbs up to the cave…and sees-“an iron grill and ordinary light bulbs!”

And that “insect” is walking on his hind legs like an ordinary man!

 I am happy to remove this silly mask- Garth spies on “insect” removing the face mask and sees an ordinary human!
