The lesson taught, the Nun disappears again and leaves you here, all confounded.

Right... You proceed your visit of the underworld while pondering over the lesson taught. Giving up your will for power sounds like quite a difficult thing to do. But after all, your enemies have the right to live too. Still, if they are your enemies, isn't it because you decided to destroy them in the first place ? Indeed they could just be opponents...

You are interrupted in your meditations by a deafening blow that screeches up to ripping your eardrums apart. Twenty yards before you a flying saucer has just landed.

A jack fitted drawbridge gets down to the ground. And in a blue flash appears a strange extraterrestrial guy.
At first sight he is repealing, snakelike, with frowned eyebrows. He is some kind of humanoid earthworm.

Scared, you hide behind a barrel. Then, all in sweat, you witness the action.
A reception committee turns up from nowhere. Soldiers armed with machineguns and night vision goggles rush down from armoured vehicles. They wear gas masks on their faces.

Behind them, you see many black limousines, black suits, sunglasses and national security officers. They appear from all over the place. All of a sudden, nets are fired onto the extraterrestrial. He is caught in their stitches. But he dives into the ground and pops out three metres away. Now aware of his attackers' intentions, he draws two laser guns and disintegrates three soldiers attacking him.
A signal is then given.

" Phase B "

What you witness after that grieves you deeply. 54 mm bullets fly and rip to shreds the poor earthworm who dances under the impact and collapses.

Then men in anti-radiation gear rush at the corpse, keeping him at gunpoint, ready for an other shooting.

Victory over foreign intrusion ! We would have every reason to congratulate ourselves. But your conscience, not totally departed from anthropocentrism, can nevertheless not hold back from retching. It leaps off the surface of the earth, leaves men's home and flies over unknown worlds where other intelligent life forms await.

But the show you have just helplessly witnessed makes you realise that nothing has changed since the discovery of the Americas. We learn that we are not alone, that others have developed consciousness and are worth the inferred respect.

And the first ironic reflex is defence of the territory. At the best...
Because if the stranger appears to be weaker, it is exploitation and destruction.

Do we even think then to review the criteria for dignity to extend it to other than human's benefit ? Or do we keep dignity exclusive rights to ourselves in order to establish our comfortable superiority in the best of conscience ?

What would happen even more so, should the alien be a threat to mankind : you could bet that we would deny him having a soul.

While you are rambling over love for your fellowmen, tolerance and forgiveness, the officers carry on stripping out methodically the flying saucer and its pilot.

You would happily rise up and spit the content of your ruminations in their faces.
But wisdom tells you to stay put and hidden until they leave.

It is appalling... Men have developed a competition spirit so inappropriate to dialogue and openness !

And that is the outcome of a thousand-years-old male regime that, from the venerable ancient Greeks to MachoMan, dominates the spirit of times ! You are taken aback by this thought that your mind has just involuntarily made up.

Is that to say that female mind had lived under male domination and oppression since the beginnings of times ? And that it is a real shame because a touch of tenderness would not have been a bad thing in such a rough world ?
