After holding the Aliens Captive for several months, Neil decides it is time to space them or make them part of the crew.
"Have you lost your mind?" Janice asked
this time in a normal voice.
"Maybe, but I'm still in charge. We cannot
keep holding them indefinitely. We have to do something, or put them out of the
airlock and be done with them!" Neil stated coldly. Neil looked around the
bridge, seeing the same fear that Janice showed on their faces. Leaning back in
his chair, he spoke softly but effectively. "We all grew up more or less
watching movies or TV shows, where the aliens are friends and allies of the
humans in the future. The future is now. Shall we run and hide like they did in
the early movies that frightened everyone? Are aliens something to be feared or
should we embrace the future, to see if humans and aliens can live side by
side?they are different? Or do we allow the difference
not to be noticed and accept them as humans, just different?"
Extremely
powerful speech! Very relevant even to
today’s society. Just wanted to comment
that I think it’s great!!! Each of you must ask in your heart what is right. Do we just kill the aliens
because they are not human?
