I was wandering around and I saw the alien leaders convene for a sort of conference. The odd thing was there were humans amongst them. So I walked in to hear things a lot better. The aliens sensed my presence. I raised my hand to say I was not a combatant. They happily waved me in. I sat in an empty seat. An alien resembling a black tar slime wished me a warm return. I connected to the nocturnals and they saw everything as well. It seems we all convened a hundred years back there was a terrorist attack and I was placed in a healing solution. I was kept a secret since the military was trying to kill my kind and make serum to become like me. Only their role was tyranny and oppression. So they hid me till the place was discovered and they were forced to wake me up. The insurgents have been those claiming a rank system where the lowest rank is denied everything and left for dead. While the other ranks are allowed a few while the supreme rank gets everything. The insurrectionists have infiltrated my home and are trying to ensure all nocturnals are present before leveling the complex. Oleg roared and both sides mobilized. Vampires used hypnosis to find the traitors and the werewolves smelled around for explosives. The humans were rallied outside and the alien soldiers were told to stand down. The explosives were discovered and they were dismantled.
The human residents were informed of the actual truth and the soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered. The savage power hungry imbeciles were sent to prison. The reconstruction of planet Earth began. Some aliens chose to build homes underwater or on top of the water. They build out in international waters so there will be no border dispute. Some built cities in the air. Others chose the mountains. A few lived in the cities, towns and islands. Every human was made to forget the location of the Citadel. The satellites were hacked and programmed so no one can use it to find the fortress either. I was given an apartment in the newly restored New York city. I worked as a doctor while my security worked as interns or nurses. I handled the emergency room. I was in disguise so only the nocturnals and the aliens knew my identity. The rest knew me as Trauma surgeon Doctor Alexi Petrova. I was pleased to see the Parliament now consists of nocturnals, one of every alien species and humans. We abolished the electoral college and the other political nonsense. Now the people only voted if they saw their residential politicians actually making a difference. If none were suitable then the human representative was replaced by a different human and if none were available than a nocturnal or alien. There were no beggars or homeless in the streets. This productivity led to less problems in society. Depression and suicide rates was an all low. I was shifted from the emergency room to another department. Neurosurgery department.
I was enjoying my lunch when the Helix came to take me to the capital renamed sōhkē. I knew trouble would come cooking so I wore a medical mask and my security wear them too. I was escorted in and the military were there staring as I was allowed inside without a pat down or body scan. I made it up to the Parliament building and watched the entire proceeding. Finally they got to the point. I was here to cast a vote. I heard both sides and I cast the tiebreaker vote and some people in the Parliament went nuts. Then I walked out of the building and a few asked me who I am. The nocturnals told them to mind their own business. I was moved to the capital with a decent land mass. I was told to name it anything I wanted to. I named it after my mother's maiden name Burrows. I was happy working the night shift and enjoying the daylight hours. On my days off I would go clubbing since Roland still thinks I am traumatized by Shaw's surprise raid that night. Oleg either dances with me or he would watch from a distance. He watches with amusement as I danced with girls who looked my age. I would get bored so I would take a seat. After some well deserved timeout we would go home. The guards would find a way to cool off or get some sleep while I practiced fighting styles one by one. Oleg would carry me upstairs when he believes I had enough.
I was surprised when I heard of an island resort where zombies were kept contained. People were going there to shoot them for fun. I asked what single celled organism came up with this idea. Oleg and Roland promised to find out. I know for a fact that the sewers are still filled with these beasties. I hope I never have to go there. I finally completed my forty year term as a doctor. I took a new disguise. A chubby curly haired brunette woman. I became a presenter for a children's show with puppets as co-hosts. The pay was decent. I was happy to impart positivity. As we were heading home I overheard someone mention buried treasure. I ordered everyone to go to the medical supply store or a hospital or anywhere to get oxygen canisters. They asked me why the sudden urge to go diving. I recalled, "When I was young there was an enthusiastic young man wanting to dig up buried treasure. He accidentally tunneled into a septic tank. The stench was horrible. My mom and Batou depleted the oxygen canisters as they tried to fix the stench. He was slapped with the biggest lawsuit in the history of the town and I am not in the mood for a repeat." I showed everyone the memory and everyone mobilized to fix it. The entire neighborhood was warned. Few took heed. There was an explosion and the foul stench of human waste became unbearable. The neighbors moved out. After we collected essentials we moved out too. We used breathing apparatus or just held our breath. Our eyes were teary as we tried to blink and sometimes our eyes refused to open. It took the local government a month to fix the issue. The perpetrator was apprehended and we had a sigh of relief.
People were talking about how people were going missing all of a sudden. So they rallied at city hall and enforced neighborhood watch. The police send their off duty officers. The aliens and nocturnals sent a few of their own to monitor and protect. The number of people who were kidnapped dropped drastically. One bold conspiracy theorists hijacked the news to show everyone that their family members were sent to a remote location where zombies chewed on their bodies. This prompted everyone to use satellite and everything else to search for this place. Some even raided the zombie island to see if the victims were there or not. After months of searching nobody found it. So they started thinking that this place was a hidden laboratory and they are creating newer and more improved chompers. So they started searching using ground penetration and thermal imaging. Sonar and other items were used and nobody found out where. People went missing elsewhere and none were nocturnal. Only human. They understood why. I would go berserk if any of mine were taken. The werewolves created labs to cure illness which are related to genetics. They lived one rule. Don't create something that has dire consequences. So far they have been successful. The vampires became cops, lawyers and doctors. I was happy being a teenager. Shopping and going to high end parties or barbecues. All a facade to find any clues to these kidnappers. So far no one stands out.
The humans knew it was there for some reason even though they didn't correctly identify me. I realized I had my shield extended. It moved to keep me in the center. So if I am going to find out who is the culprit I will have to retract the shield. This is going to create so many problems. Everyone assured me that I had nothing to worry about. They were going to find bad guys and save the day. I requested to move to Svalbard for the remainder of my free days. This was paused after some hybrids came forth wanting throne contention. As always they were placed in front of zombies and told to fight without any weapons. A leader doesn't sit down on their butts barking orders. A leader serves the pack and dies for the cause. If they want leadership then fight for it. These kids thought zombies were a bit much but both sides made it clear if they can't use their natural abilities to fight these guys. Then they are ill fit to lead. No guns, bows and arrows or even a sword. They backed out and I wasn't summoned to contest. I was asked to go to the Svalbard archipelago and enjoy the vacation I was denied. The guys believed that I shouldn't display my abilities. Since it was overkill on particular occasions. They used lasers to kill the zombies and burned the corpses. I enjoyed the ride to the airport but had to turn back after someone tried to blast the place to smithereens. The authorities came and cordoned the area. Soon I was redirected towards a private airstrip. On the way I found the culprits involved in the blast so I passed the message to both sides before I left for Denmark. The trip was long and somehow my husband Oleg was agitated so we turned the plane towards Ukraine. This put a naughty smile on his face. The others started teasing him. I made sure the council knew my whereabouts. We stopped by a resort. I was walking by the pool and all of a sudden I pushed Oleg into the pool. I laughed, "Now we're even. If I chucked you down a wall you would suffer bodily harm. Hurting you means hurting me. Did you like my sneak attack?" Oleg laughed as he got out and all of a sudden he scooped me before he jumped back in. Everyone else laughed happily.
