is sliced thin and served in a gana, or a wrap. Would you like to try it?” Zane said offering her one of the pinwheel looking items.
“Sure, why not?” She placed it in her mouth and started to chew it, tasting all the flavors. “It tastes like ham and what did you use on the wrap?”
“I spread some of the Larta, the Ona butter, we had with breakfast. Do you like it?” Zane said exited that her facial expression showed that she liked it.
“It is really good. Thanks! Now, can I ask you some questions?” She fired right back at him.
“I was waiting for you to start. Will I be able to ask some of you as well?”
“Of course, I am not a woman to deny a man answers,” she giggled then became serious. “How did you find and travel to my planet?” She was in reporter mode now. He saw her become serious as all the emotion was swept from her face like she applied some kind of mask. It was fascinating to see this transformation. What happened just minutes ago was gone and now replaced with a totally different state of mind. You would have never guessed that she had cried as much as she did earlier but for the small red capillaries visible in her eyes.
“We encountered your planet after entering a worm hole that is located behind your moon. I will show it to you when we have the opportunity. We travel through worm holes, as I mentioned before, using a material called cavementon that enables the ship to travel through them intact. We gave some of this to your government as well as technical plans and instructions on its use in exchange for some of the females that reside on your planet.”
“So, you travel through wormholes.” Gracie started to remember a story she did in Geneva covering the CERN attempt to prove the Higgs-Boson particle otherwise known as “The God Particle”. She ended up meeting a physicist who she dated for several weeks after. This guy was interested in how time and matter co-existed. His focus surrounded Einstein’s theory of relativity. He had a couple of experiments planned and was a wealth of knowledge relating to the story she was writing. Eventually she got bored with him and moved on but he was a great guy none the less and she had fun hanging out with him. “If you travel through worm holes, you would be traveling at or about the speed of light, right?”
“Yes.” He was amazed at what she was knowledgeable about.
“So, if we travel at or about the speed of light does this actually let us observe something the physicists on Earth call time dilation, in which time for those traveling at the speed of light experience a slowing of actual time relative to those who are not traveling at the speed of light?”
“Wow, you have a great general knowledge about many things. Yes, we do see this. It is one of the theories I am working on with regard to our genetic makeup compared to yours. Our life span is longer than yours and right now my goal is to make that more equal. I have a theory that the speeds at which the ships travel and some of the foods in our diet will contribute to making your life span as long as ours.”
“I dated a physicist for a little while when I was researching a story a while back. Anyway, if you experience this phenomenon, is it safe to say that when we travel to your planet in the X-tran galaxy, we will slow down the aging process while being on board the ship and if we were to travel back to Earth in the future, would it be safe to say that all of my relatives will be much older than I am or even possibly dead?”
“Yes, that would likely be true. I am sorry Grace. I wish that if you wanted to return, we could allow you to, but we can’t. You are with us for life. Are you alright with being here, being here with me?” He added the last bit to the question shyly almost embarrassed to have said it aloud.
