A Friend From MARS


This story is beyond our world. Friendship is based on feelings, commitments, responsibility and  most importantly friendship is not limited to this world . It is beyond our imaginaton. This story will show the universality of friendship. Friendship has no language it is itself the most understood language.  Hope you like it.

In july 2019 Dr. Chandra  Nath , an astrophysicist  while in the space research observatory in Bangalore,  found a  mesterious movement around  the Hadley crater on Mars  recorded by the mangalyaan.  It had recorded unusual  frequency radio waves which indicated a message of life . He was amused and  soon called Dr. Anirudh the head of SEOI (Space Exploration Organisation of India)  to tell him about his discovery.   Dr. Anirudh took up the call and came to know about the news. Dr Nath  insisted that they must plan to go for inspection and also get to know about the mysterious Mars. Dr. Anirudh asked  him to collect more proof about whether life is there or not. Dr. Nath was convinced and began to  look for any other information.  For days he kept looking and one day when he had lost all hope he  saw from the camera, a some kind of door opening in between the rocks. He recorded it and on the next day presented it in front of Dr. Anirudh.  Dr. Nath had gained a proof important enogh to plan the expedition. Dr. Anirudh   accepted his proposal and they began planning their expedition. The prime minister of india accepted the expedition. Then for around the next 6 months the space ship was made and the astronauts were chosen. Among the 5  astronauts  there were Rakesh Gupta,  the pilot,  Dr. Nikita khanna an astrobiologist  ,  Lieutenant Harish Batra , Seargent Bharat Verma and the captain Dr. Chandra Nath.  The all were trained for all circumstances from combat to safety. It was going to be a  historic event. The main concern was to protect the crew from any potential threat. Finall the day for launch came. There was a hustle all over the ground control room. Everyone making a final check to ensure that everything was right. After the complete inspection the magnificent PSLV C 99  was decraled ready for launch. At this time the crew members were taking their last glimpse of the world before they took off ,meeting friends t family. Then they aboarded the ship and there was a silence for  a minute everyone was engaged in praying for the safety of the crew. Then the final countdown began

10     9    8    7    6    5    4     3    2    1   blast off!
And the space craft launched  it went up perfectly and  after about 7 hours the spacecraft was in space. The ship began its journey to Mars.  The crew went into the cryogenic sleep to reduce oxygen consumption.

AFTER THREE MONTHS.

They woke up from the cryo and started preparing themselves for landing. The ship then began revolving round Mars.  They all put on their space suits and took their equipment for exploration. Lieutenant Harish and Seargent Bharat got with them weapons to prevent any combat with the life form of Mars if it existed. And then 'thud' a sound came.
The  ship had landed . The crew contacted th ground control room.  Everyone was happy for a succesful landing.  Then the long awaited moment came . Dr. Nath with his spacesuit on landed on the mars while keeping his leg on the surface he was reminded of Niel Armstrong and said "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."  Then one aftrr ather all the crew members came out of the ship. The the mars rover was taken out and they began the exploration around the Hadley crater where Dr. Nath had  found the mysterious door.  They had just reached the place where he found the door  the suddenly their communication with the ground control was down. They tried to establish communication but there was a  interference that prevented any radio frequency. Then  the door opened. The heartbeat of everyone  rose and suddenly a  bright light came that almost blinded them. Dr . Nath saw  hardly saw anything and they fell down in som pit or anything like that. After being able to see they found themselves  in  room that had its own strange  lighting . They were trapped in that room. Suddenly the gas detector beeped. There was oxygen in there. Dr. Nath's thought was true that there was life on  Mars.  He then took off his helmet and breathed in the air. It was similar to that of earth.  Now all the other crew members removed the space suits. They began to discuss the situation and got ready for meeting the Martians.  Then a  being appeared  just from nowhere. He was almost as human but had  a blue body and very long ears. He began saying "doon doon naka naka ek ek" . though they didn't understand anything he said.  Dr Nath made a guess that he was warning us and asking to return. Dr Nath tried to explain the being that they had only come for exploration through crude signs. the being seemed to understand and through actions he told them that they were in a great danger. Dr. Nath named it as flobbo de lob as it was the first extraterrestrial organism living. And suddenly there appeared 5-6 othe beings with a strange kind of spear in their hand. One being among them came forward and said something to flobo de lob and he just dissapeared as if he had teleported . Then their spears released a beam that made the astronauts still, they couldn't move  anything except their eyes. they were taken to a prison and trapped there. while during this time on earth everyone had lost hope. 

For days there was no news about the astronauts. On Mars the astronauts were given some kind of food that was very different from anything on earth. one day flobo de lob happened to come when all the guards were sleeping . He broke them out of the prison and he took them to a safe place. But he was caught and taken to the prison. He was charged of treason and ordered death . Dr. Nikita came to know that these beings somehow get burned if water is thrown on them. So now it was a moment to save a friend who was going to die. lieutenant Harish took out the weapons from their suits. they braced themselves for the combat . They were equipped with water and hand guns. soon it was the time forflobo de lob's execution.  . they reached the place where flobo de lob was and fought the guards and then took flobo de lob to their hideout. Flobo de lob with his signs told them that they should return as the martians would be looking for them. But how could they leave before saving their friend completely. they went to the head of the martians and through flobo de lob as the interpreter they told them that humans were not there to harm anyone. they had just come for exploration. this was accepted and flobo de lob was announced not guilty. But the head told that they will be allowed to leave if they dont disclose the reality of the martians since it could endanger them. After a few minutes the astronauts agreed and they were let to leave. They collected some samples and then They boarded their ship and went on to reach earth. They contacted the ground control and told that their communication had some disturbance and that they had collected the samples and declared life does not exist on Mars.

AFTER # ##3 MONTHS

They reached Earth and were welcomed warmly . But the world was disheartened upon finding that life does not exist on Mars. But deep in the hearts of Rakesh Gupta, Dr. Nikita khanna , Lieutenant Harish Batra , Seargent Bharat Verma and Dr. Chandra Nath martians lived away from the interference by humans. every day when Dr. Chandra look towards the night sky he is reminded of flobo de lob.
