Rika

~~

I had sat here and watched Reagan stand up during the meeting. It was a little difficult to watch because my mom and dad were so intense right now. We had planned this part of the meeting. We had been planning it for about a week now. However, now that we were actually following through with it, I was feeling nervous.

Reagan had been nervous too. I had sensed it all. I heard the rapid pounding of his heart. Smelled the pungent tang in the air that meant that someone was nervous or scared. I sensed all the little things that indicated that someone was anything but calm. Although what I didn’t sense, see, notice, or detect in any way, was visible fear.

Reagan stood there calm as could be, his voice steady and strong. His posture was perfect. He wasn’t trembling. He didn’t squeak when he spoke. He was the picture of perfection when he needed it.

It was at that moment, before I even stood, that I knew that I was capable of doing this as well. I knew that if my brother could do this, then so could I. We were twins after all, we had all the same experiences growing up. We had all the same DNA, as close as fraternal twins could get. However, the thing that meant the most to me, the thing that I knew that I had, was Reagan’s support. He had mine and I had his.

“Mom?” I rose to my feet in a smooth and swift motion. I was showing nothing but confidence, despite the nerves that were roiling in my belly. “I have been thinking about that, if you would like to hear it.” There was a smile on Reagan’s face as he looked at me. I could see it out of the corner of my eye. That smile told me that I had this, that he knew that I was going to succeed, just the same as he had.

While I watched my mom, waiting for her to acknowledge me like she had Reagan, I sensed Reagan sitting down. His whispered voice reached me so softly that I knew no one else would hear it.

.....

“Good luck, sis.” A fraction of a second later, my mom spoke to me as well.

“Go on, Rika. What have you thought of?” She smiled at me and I saw that she was actually proud of both me and Reagan. Maybe putting in all those hours over the last few weeks was really a good idea. Reagan and I had been racking our brains for ways to help our parents. My mom might already have an idea, but until I knew that for a fact, I was going to do all that I could for her.

“Well, you need to know how to execute the revelation. Well, as Reagan already said, a global broadcast interruption would be the best way to do this. And during that broadcast, I believe that we need at least one representative from each species, no matter how small their population may be. And on top of that, we need at least one representative from each ethnic race. This will be a way to prove to the world that this is not just something that is centralized in the United States. The world needs to know that this is something that affects them as well.”

“That is quite intuitive.” Dad said as he smiled at me. I could clearly feel the pride that was flowing off of him and washing over me.

“Thank you.” I smiled at him, but I didn’t let that distract me at all. “However, I am not quite done. I think that there needs to be influential people involved in the reveal. Some can be world leaders if you want, but I think that would have too many negative factors involved. The people of the world, the human people, need to think that they can still trust the people that make their laws. Otherwise, they might be more inclined to riot. However, other influential people that we know are universally loved by the humans, actors, singers, and other people such as that. They can reveal that they aren’t human. It’s not like they will go broke, not with half of the world still wanting to see and hear them.”

“I like that idea. We can’t expose the politicians, that might diminish their influence in their fields, but I like the idea of using famous people. I will contact several of them soon.”

“Thank you.” I nodded at my mom, but I still wasn’t done. “Now, the broadcast, in my opinion, needs to be live. We need to have a way of proving that it is happening with no interruptions in the signal. I plan for us to shift and show our powers live on television, but we need to make sure that people are not dismissing this as a stunt that is laden with special effects. We need to prove to them all that we are serious, no matter what it is that we need to do.”

“Yes, I understand.” Mom nodded at me. “And I agree. The broadcast, wherever it takes place, will need to be live. It can be repeated at another time, at which point it won’t be live anymore, but we need to prove that it is all very real.”

“How are we going to guarantee that there are no special effects?” Uncle Trevor said from the front of the other crowd, the one that was facing my parents.

“I am not sure yet, but I am sure that we will be able to figure it all out.” Mom put her hand on her chin as she thought about this.

“Aunt Trinity?” Luka rose to his feet.

“Yes, go ahead.” Mom waved at him. He had been with Reagan and I while we planned a lot of this stuff lately. I am sure that he had thought of a few things as well. I also saw that Uncle Dietrich and Uncle Shawn were looking at him proudly, just like dad had looked at me and Reagan.

“Well, if we want to prove that it is not fake, then we can have several spectators invited to the event. Their reactions will help with the validity of it all. And not only that, but we can do some live calls that will prove that the entire operation is happening in real time. We can start the entire event off as if it were something that was like a sporting event or show of some kind. After we have all their attention, and the networks cannot be changed no matter what station they switch to, they will start to understand that this is real.”

“Will it work on all channels though?” Uncle Shane asked as he thought about Luka’s words.

“We can make it so. We have enough power with the president on our side. And not only that, but we have hackers working for this mission as well. I am sure that we can interrupt everything.”

“Everything?” Mom asked him suspiciously. “What do you mean everything?”

“Well, we need to send emergency broadcast alerts to all the phones, tablets, computers, anything that is connected to the internet or source of data streaming. We need to make sure that we interrupt all the television channels, even movie and porn channels. This is something that is important, and we need to gather the attention of the entire world.”

“Ha ha ha.” Uncle Shane laughed. “I can imagine how pissed those people in mid yank will be if we interrupt their personal time.” There was laughter that went through the room then. It was unavoidable. Uncle Shane had a point.

“They may be upset, but I am sure that they will understand in the end.” I said as I explained what was happening. “Luka is right. We need to use all the available resources. And if it is going out as an emergency broadcast on all devices, it will give our claims more credibility.”

“I agree.” Mom, who was still on her feet, nodded at me. “Thank you, Rika. And you as well Luka and Reagan. The three of you have had a lot of good ideas, and I know that we will be able to see this all through soon because you have all been working so hard on these issues.”

“We just want to be of service, Mom.” I smiled at her. “We want to make sure that we can help you no matter what. So, we have all been meeting up at school and after school to discuss the options that we have.”

“I am glad that you did. You all, being the younger ones that are going to be at the university, will all be vital in this transition. I would like to know that I can count on you all for assistance in the future.”

“Of course.” I told her right away.

“Definitely, Mom, you have all of us here to help.” Reagan added.

“We will do all that we can.” Luka added.

“Just let us know what we can do.”

“We will take the initiative.”

“We want to help as much as possible.” The others started to stand and say what they needed to as well. I felt proud right now as well. Not for just myself, but for all my friends and family that were standing up to join in the fight. Not that this was a fight really, but it was important to us all, and that was what mattered. I was proud of them.

The meeting came to an end shortly after all of that. Mom and Dad asked that me, Reagan, and Luka stay behind so that they could talk to us. They wanted to hear more about the ideas that we had come up with. I was more than happy to tell her what it was that I had thought about. I wanted my parents to know that I took this issue seriously. And I wanted them to know that I was proud of who and what I am.

The second meeting between us lasted about another hour or so. Reagan and I told our parents all that we had talked about and what we thought would be best for the revelation. And Luka explained what he thought about the internet hacking and broadcasts. The fact that we did have a hacker, aside from him, was going to be beneficial in this whole process. We would be able to access more than we normally would, even with the president’s approval.

By the time that I got back to my room, I was feeling a lot more confident about this whole thing than I had been for a long time. I knew that we were going to be able to make the humans understand us. Before, I had been on the fence about it all, but now though, I was confident and determined, the way that I needed to be.
