Awakening Intent

In the quiet hours before dawn, Benjamin (the alien) found himself lost in contemplation. The stars above seemed to urge him forward, memories of his home planet Raema echoing with urgency.

Images of Raema's suffering surged within his mind. Barren landscapes and dwindling resources painted a bleak picture of his home. The memory of his people's struggle fueled his determination. He couldn't falter; Raema's survival depended on his success.

A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. Amelia's voice accompanied the sound. "Benjamin, are you awake?" she called.

Welcoming her in, he offered a tired smile. Ordinary conversation with Amelia felt like an essential anchor amid his complex mission.

Amelia's presence eased his thoughts, allowing him a moment of respite from the real Benjamin's memories. As they talked, he felt a fleeting sense of normalcy, as though he was just a human named Benjamin Blackwood.

After Amelia left, clarity settled over him. The time for hesitation had passed; his mission required swift action. With the sun rising, his determination solidified.

He paced, pondering his next steps. Drawing on his expertise in human behavior and manipulation, he envisioned a plan to undermine Earth's defenses. Disinformation campaigns, technological glitches, and social unrest would pave the way for the invasion.

As the final pieces of his plan fell into place, a grim determination settled over him. The memory of Raema's suffering was his guiding star, propelling him forward. He had to succeed, not only for his planet but for the future of his people.

With his plan solidified, Benjamin's resolve burned brighter than ever. The time for inaction had ended; it was time to set his enigmatic design into motion, ready to change the course of Earth's destiny, even if it meant the sacrifice of its inhabitants.
