Sumeru Control Center The control center was crowded when Naamah stepped in. After a heated discussion, Sumeru security had finally let him in. Naamah proceeded to the controls. A huge screen showed a small and antique spaceship in a hangar. “Who are you?” an elder man asked, turning to Naamah. “Naamah, the Asuras representative,” Naamah said. “Our species is responsible for the civilization on Ki.” The man mustered him and thought a minute. “I’ve heard of it,” he said. “I’ve downlo

Dan put on his suit and took his equipment and weapons. He hurried towards the building at the end of the runway and entered it. The others sat motionless, tensed, unable to turn their eyes from the building. Half an hour passed, then Dan stepped out. He returned to the ship and joined the others. The men in the cockpit calmed down. “Nothing,” Dan said. “I saw and heard nothing. I didn’t sense a thing. All was quiet, too quiet, I think.” “I’ll send another message to ground control Eart

John sat down. “What’s wrong with the communication system, Dan? Did you find a failure?” he asked. Dan shook his head. “No failure records. The communication system appears to work properly. The system says our messages get out, but I think they don’t. Ground control has not replied because they got nothing to confirm.” “Would they not have tried to send a message themselves?” John asked doubtfully. “Hours went by. They must be waiting for news. I’m certain they have sent a message by now

Commander Ross and his team got off the ship. The men took a deep breath and looked around. The sun was up. It was almost noon and the temperature had climbed. It was hot and the air was humid and smelled of decay. It was the typical feel and smell of the tropics. The vegetation resembled a rain forest on Earth. The thick bushes and trees, many with weird huge leaves and colored blossoms, seamed the ancient runway but had not overgrown or even touched it. “Like a runway in an Asian jungle,”

The High Council The High Council had gathered. 1,200 men and women had taken their seats. The council was led by five high supreme members. Commander Jeva spoke the introductory words, proposed the agenda and opened the discussion. This year’s agenda consisted of twelve topics. Naamah was particularly interested in point five of the agenda that was titled Failed Planets. He calculated. They would not arrive at point five before noon and it would take all his patience to concentrate on the

Hi, Stephen. Sumeru is an independent story. I wrote a sequel to Space Pioneer about a secret project, but I'm unsure whether to post it or not because it's a bit 'uncommon'. The secret project, however, inspired me to write Sumeru. I'm glad you liked the story so far. Thanks for reading and the feedback.

www.captainkirk-thetruthisoutthere.com September 15, 2073 The truth is out there! Hi, folks. I’ve got something interesting today! Guardian104 pointed me to an Australian social media site where they are discussing the mystery spaceship Shiva. You remember, the interstellar spaceship disappeared a couple of years ago. A user with the name Deva posted a post and deleted it shortly after. However, Guardian104 was able to take a screenshot of the post and he sent it to me. I can t

Sumeru by Dolores Esteban Anekāntavāda - "many-sidedness" The Jain Doctrine of Non-Absolutism A group of blind men heard that a strange animal, called an elephant, had been brought to the town, but none of them were aware of its shape and form. Out of curiosity, they said: "We must inspect and know it by touch, of which we are capable". So, they sought it out, and when they found it, they groped about it. In the case of the first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said "This
