u I-115 stared sadly out the window of the spaceship. The Earth glowed with a bluish glow under the silvery hull of the ship. "Here we are," thought I-115.
u He thought with regret and bitterness about the beautiful girl from among the outcasts - she has such beautiful eyes. He was also thinking about the fate of the several hundred star immigrants who were forbidden to leave the cabins of the starship during the long journey.
u The Milky Way's Commonwealth of galactic Civilizations has been using hyperdrive-powered starships for hundreds of millions of years. Having entered hyperspace with their help, starships travel vast distances of hundreds of light-years in a matter of hours. The design of ships has been constantly changing over millions of years, following new scientific discoveries, but the principle of operation itself has remained the same.
u This was the only way known to science to breed new species of vertebrates in the wild for the needs of the Galactic Center. New species of vertebrates have been formed over many generations from people sentenced to isolation and degradation, as a result of prolonged desecration on the protected donor planet. They were then transported to brood all over the Galaxy. They were used for their intended purpose: who gave milk, who went to meat and to feed other animals.
u The Earth has traditionally been used by the messengers of the star worlds belonging to the Milky Way commonwealth as a galactic nursery. Expeditions were sent here from time to time to conduct biological experiments. The essence of these experiments was as follows: after landing, people were released who had committed certain offenses and violated the law of space society. Their social responsibility was reduced, but their egocentrism was off the charts.
u Such offenders were released in batches of several hundred people. As a rule, this was enough for people of both sexes to subsequently have numerous offspring and survive in a favorable terrestrial climate and in the presence of easily obtained food. This was the end of the star convoy's mission, and the ships, piercing hyperspace, returned back to their home port.
u It usually took a long time for space people to settle down on earth. After the human population increased significantly in size, squabbles and fights began between individuals. Socially unoriented people, following their selfish ambitions, viewed other people as their potential slaves or enemies, or even as a source of food, but not as comrades. Ultimately, this created the conditions for the emergence of chronic group psychoemotional stress.
u People who were fixated on the idea of their personal existence gradually lost interest in learning new things, and did not teach their children the knowledge they themselves had. All this had a detrimental effect on the intelligence of the descendants. All the thoughts of the earthlings were focused on how to seize food supplies, humiliate or kill an opponent, take away his wife or daughter, and also subordinate others to his will, consolidating his power and strengthening his status in the eyes of others.
u As a result, they gradually lost their minds and speech, switching to the emotional language of interjections and screams. Short guttural sounds and screams were enough to convey their emotional state, and they no longer felt the need for more.
u After some time, individual human populations, in order to reduce the degree of fierce confrontation with other populations and gain advantages over them, urgently began to adapt their organisms to a new natural habitat and a new type of food. As a result, they developed, acquired, repeatedly strengthened and passed on through the baton to their descendants various kinds of adaptations that allow them to survive and avoid direct opposition with their own kind. As a result, the organisms of former humans from different populations specialized in completely different ways.
u Someone, using a different biomechanics of movement on all fours than on two legs, learned to run fast, relying on four limbs. Not using the arms and turning them into front legs created a problem. To maintain their ability to manipulate objects, they needed to learn how to perform simple operations using their teeth and jaws, for example, to carry their young cubs, clutching them in their mouths, in case of danger and threat to their lives.
u Thus, a single species of homo sapiens very quickly, by the standards of geological time, ceased to exist on this planet, isolated from the rest of the cultural cosmos. Various adaptations and adaptations transformed representatives of this species into representatives of numerous new species of various vertebrates.
u After the formation of new animal species was completed, a balance was established between them, and the new global ecosystem regulated the diversity and abundance of the species included in it. It replaced the previous ecosystem, consisting of old species: old vertebrate species died, unable to compete with new species.
u In order to cleanse the planet of terrible monsters – from all those into whom former people turned as a result of mental degradation followed by biological involution, and not to destroy the people who were planned to be re-landed on this planet in the form of space marines, the alien curators of the involution took actions to cleanse the planet of large and dangerous animals. That was the fate of the dinosaurs. They were deliberately destroyed by star travelers. Using space technology, so that they would not devour all those who, later, were destined to become the ancestors of new species of animals.
u In the geological record of the earth, such global extinctions of large animals caused by space aliens are known as the great extinctions. It is well known, for example, the Permian Great extinction. The earth was then cleared by the star curators of the presence of old monsters. However, the wildness of the ancestors of dinosaurs took a different path. At the dawn of their formation, they retained the bipedal gait inherited from the former human for a long time.
u They split into predators and herbivores. Their constant interaction led to the fact that their body size and weight were constantly increasing. It was a survival race. A large herbivorous animal is much more protected than a small one. A large predator has a better chance of killing large prey than a small one.
u I-115 sadly looked out the window of the spaceship and thought about all this, watching the sun rise over the earth. The fate of this "lost world" was decided many hundreds of millions of years ago. The planet was constantly used by the space community as a galactic nursery for breeding new species of animals. I-115 regretted the fate of people who were destined to become food for star wanderers through many generations, as well as a mute toy displayed in space menageries for the amusement of the public.
u Can he change the fate of these degraded people and the fate of this unknown wild planet? Yes, they have committed the gravest crimes against society. They were sentenced by the high star court to the highest degree – to degradation. They are sent to one of the planets of the Galaxy, which are specially used by the space community as a farm for breeding new species of animals. But is the fate of these people so hopeless and their guilt so great that they will become the fathers and mothers of those who will be used to cook chops and kebabs on all the planets of the galactic cultural ecumene?
u Failure to comply with K-115's order will be severely punished, and he will probably also be exiled to one of the donor planets in order to undergo forced degradation. But K-155 can change everything by voluntarily staying here on this planet with the rogue prisoners. He will not carry out the order, but he will try to save these people by organizing their thinking and telling them about their fate, which awaits them if they do not come to their senses and overcome their egocentrism and selfish tendencies.
u Finally, K-155 made up his mind: he voluntarily stays on the planet and tries to change the mindset of these people. He will marry a beautiful girl from among the outcasts. They're going to have kids. He organizes a school for his own and other people's children. He will do everything to ensure that these people do not degrade, forget their speech, and lose their minds. People will carry this knowledge as a baton and pass it on to their descendants. They will work hard on themselves, accumulate knowledge and pass on their experience to new generations.
u However, there is one obstacle: it is mandatory for all outcasts to swallow a pill of oblivion before they leave the ship. After that, they forget who they are and where they came from on this wild planet. This helps them to lose their human appearance faster and mentally degrade. E-115 will commit an official offense. He will destroy the container with the pills of unconsciousness. Outcasts will remember their past experiences and this will help them overcome the infernal craving for degradation in conditions of permissiveness. He will tell and explain it to people. This will help them to survive and keep a person inside themselves!
u Who is a Person, and why is degradation possible? The answer to this question is this: once upon a time, maybe a billion years ago, the human spirit created its biological body. Also, by the power of thought, the starry world in which he lives was created. Man created his brain for cognition. The entire modern civilization has grown out of this capacity for cognition.
A person's ability to change their body has not disappeared anywhere after the human spirit took over this body. If a person loses interest in learning, then the body begins to change under the influence of unstructured emotional individual and group thinking, driven by the desire to survive at all costs. This is how new species of vertebrates appear. They are very different, but they appeared due to a person's ability to transform his body.
u Over time, a highly developed civilization will arise on Earth, which can justifiably join the galactic community. A monument to its creator, the first spaceman, will be erected on the main square of the main city of the world. The starship returned to its home port without him.
