ENGINEER 1:
“As we were being drawn into the anomaly, we experienced our sense of reality warping, then… NOTHINGNESS and… then rebirth in an entirely different universe.
I wondered if AIADD was including himself as a human being by that “we”.
“We are at the heart of a universe that, unlike ours which boasts
“AIADD, Are you saying that this universe, itself, is a living entity!”
“YES. The world you are seeing on the scanner is The Planet, Jelani, it means Mighty. It is Universal Paradise and the Spiritual Hub of all the Galaxies in this Universe. Jelani is six times larger than the Earth and its Sentient Population consists of the Shujaa FROM THE NORTH, the Mpiganaji FROM THE SOUTH, the Jelanites FROM THE EAST and the Hodari FROM THE WEST.
Jelani is home to more than a half-trillion sentient beings. And those are just the beings who look like you.”
Like Me! Do you mean they look like Earth ‘s Human Beings?”
“More than that.” He said. “They look like Pan-Africans. Of this I am ‘AWARE’.”

Where wealth is simply a Abundance, and all that exists is And where the entire Universe Entity and each individual thing of it; like one universal Hive Peace, Harmony, Beauty, Mathematics and Love.
“But we are witnessing a beautiful world under siege an evil looking, gigantic space force. How does your ‘Awareness’ capacity explain this violence?” I demanded.
“ Like us, they are colonizers and They want all of this universe’s Abundance themselves. They plan to exploit this enslave its people, to exhaust their only to satisfy their alien need to their species. They are The Arachnovors.

Abundance for this universe and their own resources expand and glorify Arachnovors. They are this,I am ‘AWARE’.”
“How can you describe us as colonists; we have never met nor enslaved alien people.”
“Unjust Colonists demand submission of anyone who is a part of and supports a colonial system of economics.
The Pan-African Federation’s Intergalactic Enterprises boasts of The Nine Colonies scattered throughout the Earth’s Solar System.”
I realized that AIADD just made a judgement and AIADD is not programmed to make judgements, Ship Commander Spoon thought.
Finally, I consulted Engineer AIADD (Artificial Intelligent Ambient Data
