ALL SCI-FI

So the alien space vessel would not move on to seek out other worlds if they discovered what they were looking for. Once a planet that offered the potential to breed these aliens with the native inhabitants, the ship would remain covertly in orbit and be able to observe the developing situation.

When they discover the flaws in their original plan they learn from it and make corrections so as to successfully implement their grand design.

Could such corrections involve being able to not have the children all blonde and have glowing eyes? The children would now look like normal humans of any race. They would be intelligent, but not have any super abilities. They would simply pass as the children we read about periodically who graduate from high school at 14 and then enter M.I.T. If they are a tad odd, well, it's passed off due to their being geniuses.

As these individuals reach adulthood we see their powers emerge and their eyes glow, but never in the presence of others so normal humans become aware and alarmed and bring in the authorities.

In time, these adults begin to contact one another and marshal their resources (they've amassed financial fortunes in various ways) so as to make our world a better, more successful planet. No more wars, poverty, and the killing of our planet through climate change.

In order to achieve such goals they will have take control of governments, military, and commerce. And it won't be pretty. Like all tyrants, they believe that what they're doing is just & right and nothing must stop them. It is the only way to save the human race and the very planet itself.

Meanwhile, the A.I. space vessel is aghast at all of its "children" taking this course. The alien civilization that sent out these ships did so because their world was dying. They had developed an incredible society and technology. Their intention was to send out such space vessels in order to find worlds that were in desperate catastrophic situations, and then attempt to help them overcome their dire challenges.

The creation of human-alien hybrids was meant not for harm but for good by these aliens. They realized that they must biologically merge with a select group of humans in order to save us. However, the human primordial brain and nature is so powerful that the omnipotence is mixed with human base instincts. The result is that these ultra-humans do intend to save the Earth, and they will do so on their own ruthless terms.

Can these A.I. star ships somehow join forces with the human race in order to stop these powerful hybrids from total dominion of Earth?

Mike, that is a remarkable concept! I'm very impressed.

Furthermore, you've found a way to explain how Children of the Damned could actually be a sequel to Village of the Damned. But your concept goes far beyond that movie, and it would be a much more interesting and satisfying story.

Bravo!

I liked this film a lot when I saw it on TV as a kid. I found the children and the whole setting really creepy. But then again, children, in general, have always kind of creeped me out, even when I was one.

You were creeped out by children when you were young? Wow, that must have been a strange neighborhood . . .

Hey, that suggests a story idea!

A family moves into an inner city neighborhood, and a young boy discovers that a local gang of very unusual kids his age are actually feared by the other kids, for reasons that have nothing to do with the group (both boys and girls) being tough or carrying weapons.

The young boy witnesses strange things, and he eventually realizes the kids are aliens with frightening powers. Unfortunately, neither his parents nor his friends believe his claim that these "children" are not human.

That's all I've got right now. Somebody take the next chorus and sing us a story.

Ah, but we shouldn't judge alien species by our standards. On their planet they might have been considered the quiet nerdy type!
