Chapter 459: Peace through politics
Alexander was taken to a tall building where he saw another humanoid machine. He could see that they were trying to look like humans to make themselves look more friendly.
Alexander greeted first, "Hello, terrans or machines. Are you the leader of this world?"
Deus Ex nodded. He was constantly taking every knowledge coming out of Alexander's mouth. From the fact he considered them sentient and not just machines to the fact that Earth was called Terran.
"Yes, I am Deus Ex. I have the highest authority to meet you...?"
"Oh, I am Alexander Maxim Universe," Alexander answered.
Deus Ex was surprised by the human-ish name. "Then what can I do for you? Can you tell us more about yourselves?"
"Absolutely. I am a part of an organization that travels the universe and checks how that world is performing. Empty habitable planets are reserved to harbor life in the next few years. Planets like yours are audited to see if they are good enough to receive our help." He explained a slightly changed version of his job as God's Advocate.
Deus Ex was calculating all options now. He knew that if the people from space were that modern then they'd be able to find humans they had been keeping. But he also wanted these aliens to help, if possible, on removing the nanites from the sky.
"I can sense you are troubled. Just be honest, that is all I can advise you." Iroh spoke.
