Aaron and Evelyn went straight to the conference hall as it provided more privacy to discuss what they have heard.
The longer walls of the conference room were made of up glass that reached till the ceiling. The shorter side in opaque walls.
One side of longer walls is shown to view the outside sky and cities while the other side is covered in blinds, which can be closed when privacy is needed. At the end of the boardroom a symbol with the alphabet 'CSRC' with a design of shooting star passing in the middle. The alphabet was in white in the background of black with small white stars and tittle circular planets in blue and red with different shades. The alphabet with the shooting stars was written slightly inclined.
It was their logo.
'Cosmos Space Research Centre'.
A research centre for the world outside the earth. To study celestial bodies like the sun, moon, planets, stars, asteroids, meteoroids along with galaxies, milliways, dust clouds etc.
They were one of the top research centres in the world.
They had new discoveries made daily. They develop new technology that is not only used by researchers but also has been useful in everyday life.
This discovery about another world was a massive step for them. World could be seen from different eyes. Until now we only knew that humans were only the intelligent creatures that existed. Others were all speculation and theories. Not anymore
Ron took one of the seats while Evelyn went to close the blinds and came back to take one of the seats.
Ron's eyes were all on the picture in the file given by Neil.
There was excitement in his eyes at the same time fear, fear of the unknown. Anything can happen. They can be war or peace, both options. But only time will tell.
Evelyn took her files and started to go through it. Each picture they stare at for a long time, studying everything.
The pictures were drawings drawn by the people who went there. The drawings were of cities just like ours. At first glance everything looked the same, but there were different styles of the buildings.
There were drawings of fortresses just like the ancient fortress in our world, but it was larger and more stronger. There were also pictures of the modern cities. Cities that are a lot more modern than us.
All she felt was confusion, what are they?
As she flipped pages, she saw drawing of people. Just like ours. Women and mens. But something seem different. She couldn't pinpoint what it was. There was something about them that she felt different. Even Though they look like us there was something different about them.
Their features look similar to us. Nose, ears, mouth, hands, legs.
In the next pages, details of hair and eyes were shown. Hair was in different colours. Black, silver, brown, shade of brown all different colours. Their eyes were also in different colours. But their eye, they were quite mysterious.
"Their eyes seem different," she said to Ron.
"Yes it is" he relied
"They seem really mysterious" he commented
"Eve…. what should we call them" Aaron asked
"They look like us, I don't know, should we call them....
"Humans?"
"Alien?" Aaron said
"Monsters" Evelyn said, both of them started random names
"Earthling?"
"Extraterrestrial?"
''Alien or others doesn't sound good. but still calling them humans feels weird''. Ron said
''We are known as human beings. How about we go for being?'' Evelyn suggested.
"Its better" Aaron said
They sat and talked about different stories that they have heard about parallel worlds. They searched the internet to know more theories and stories about the parallel universe. They had stories about parallel universes, from the internet and also from different professors. They talked about such stories. About the movies and stories that had parallel universe in them.
Soon they heard a knock on the door, Joan one of their coworker came in
"Get down for the pizza party, its started" he said to be sure that they don't miss it
They didn't realise the time had passed, as they sit and talked
Small parties were something that mostly happen, it was done when they have discovered something new.
This was a party for the discovery of a new star WASP-19, an exoplanet as its in Scorpius constellation. It was discovered one week ago and two days back there ensured that it was not already found.
"Come let's hurry" Ron said
