[WP] Mankind has received its first confirmed message of non-human origin from an unknown entity in outerspace. In plain English, it says "you are not what you think you are"

The old men in the temples far to the East, the newborns in their white boxes to the West, mammals in their dens, life in the salt waters, even the invisible world of unthought of beings felt it.

There were accountants working in their office, people dancing at weddings, prisoners tortured in their cells, leaders aching in their lairs, women giving birth and men dying, there was no such warning or resistance for any of them when the outside wanted to relay a message to us. No amount of money, social merit or arrogance could help nor any amount of wisdom, morality or prayers.

The sky looked as if it were about to storm, then unnaturally the clouds curdled into writhing coils banded together by purple and blue lightning. Then a sound... A frequency began to vibrate through the very air itself. Organisms looked around to one another in confusion, even the planet seemed nervous giving off tremors as the Oceans went mad. The sound was at both ends of any audible octave comprehendible, crescendoing into a paralyzing tone that slowly started descended half steps into dissonance. Life covered its ears.

When terror was nearly manifest in the world the frequency met in a chord that's never been struck before, warming... healing. The apocalyptic skies settled into colors the human eyes had no cone for resulting in white illumination the whole planet round. Whether it be night or day, land or sea the world and its occupants became a channel, and the outside broadcasted.

"We navigated many stars and dimensions to meet you." "We are what you may call aliens, maybe even angels if you were to look upon us, but we are not that." "We are what you might call 'management'."

The humans heard tongues, while the whales heard echoes and birds heard song. Earth's first contact left nothing out. The life in the waters were slowly rising to the surface and even the photosynthetic life began to lean towards the light voice. "With the detonation of the species: homo sapien sapiens nuclear device during the year 13, 806, 471, 945, our various methods of reception throughout this universe reported a positive radiation reading from within your galaxy." "We have never witnessed such natural perfection before coming to your solar system, which is why we are violating nearly all of our polices to have this contact." "You are alone in this third dimensional universe, the progression of linear time and natural evolution simply does not allow for consciousness such as yours. Yet here you are understanding us and not having a clue how you got this way. Yet here you are inflicting nuclear damage upon one another. You are not Africans or Asians or Europeans or even Earthlings, you are anomalies of existence, you are the beginning, you are our ancestors."
