Earth is dangerous and hazardous. It is a deadly, unknown mystery. The biology of its inhabitants is strange, and the environment itself violently destroys while preserving new lifeforms.
Then, there are the humans. They are one of the fastest growing species we had witnessed. They possess an unnaturally high crisis tolerance and an adaptive intelligence that allows them to thrive in radioactive, volatile environments.
Normally, The Pan Galactic Conglomerate would have added them to the council ages ago. A species with that level of grit and rapid demographic growth would be an asset for risky planetary preservation, development and labor.
Despite their countless attempts at communication, we had never reached out. We never will.
When we first mapped the sector, we intended to negotiate. But we quickly realized that human civilization is entirely stratified. There is a specific tier of entities on that planet that hold a monopoly on power, skills, and reality warping abilities that cannot be found anywhere else in the cosmos.
These commanding factions hold the entire galaxy in a vice grip. They have made it terrifyingly clear to the Conglomerate that while they rule the stars from the shadows, Earth is a forbidden fruit. It must never be touched. The violent, cosmic consequences of interfering with their territory were demonstrated to our central fleets centuries ago. No one wish to witness it again.
Our researchers have spent decades studying how humanity interacts with these supreme rulers from afar. Mars was the closest we could get but it provided us with enough information. The structure is baffling. Humans address them with absolute submission—sometimes collectively as a singular regime, sometimes individually as supreme commanders.
I believe the humans call these entities "Gods."
Through our deeper research, we discovered these rulers are fractured, divided into massive, competing pantheons depending on which part of humanity worships them. Some humans address them collectively as one, and some individually.
There are many who do not believe in their existence.
And here is the part that keeps our high command awake at night: the humans have no idea they are being ruled by their planet's apex predators.
For all their intelligence and curiosity, humans think they are the dominant species on Earth. They do not realize the universe is silent only because these "gods" have a gentle, fiercely protective bias toward them.
Our deep space scans confirms that these "gods" do not just belong to humanity.
It is believed that every single species on Earth has its own hidden group of pantheons governing the stars, and yet the humans seem unaware of the other species' existence. There are cosmic regimes for the apex predators of the deep oceans. There are primordial lords representing the micro fauna. The terrifying, universe bending monsters ruling our galaxy are just the local wildlife of Earth.
The the sweetest fruit in galaxy that we are not allowed to approach. Yet it always calls out to us.
It is the temptation we have ignored that had let us survive and develop. the conglomerate have strict rules and yet the sava'iz could not resist. It has been a few billion years since we witnessed this gruesome display of power that wiped an entire species for their audacity.
They were always impulsive anyways. Next meeting is going to address another warning and awareness program. We hope not to loose more allies.
