The Exile of the Elohim
More information recently came to me via my own memories, many of which have been locked up for years until the right moment arrived. A few days ago, I experienced such a 'right moment.' The information below is what really happened, as best I can piece it together.
My people, the Elohim, gave our human neighbors many gifts, with no expections of reward for what we did. We had long since evolved to the point where we no longer felt a need to possess money, or fame, or status among other species, and we treated even the most seemingly savage of beings as equals. One of our gifts to Humanity was technology. We gave them, in the course of only a few human generations, the ability to travel the stars, to travel faster than the speed of light, and even to teleport starships from one star system to another. We honestly never dreamed that our own good will would end up coming back to haunt us, but that is exactly what they did.
You see, my people stayed together in our own communities, where we could be ourselves and would not be bound to the laws of other people. When among humans, we willingly bound ourselves to their laws, but when we left their communities and returned to our own, we did what was customary for our own people without regard to human laws. This was merely a common courtesy to us, an attempt to foster good relations with our human neighbors.
But my people abolished all laws long ago, and we literally do what we want, when we want, and how we want, when we are among our own kind. Many of our ways would have seemed perverted to humans, such as our public nudity, public sexuality, same-sex relationships, and so on. We thought nothing of these things, but a visiting human woman was so incensed by our ordinary ways, that she walked up to two lovers, and literally ordered them to stop making love with each other. They didn't even pay attention to her, and she made an historic threat: she would leave, and she would bring as many human warriors as she could to the city in question, and she with her army would utterly destroy every person alive in that city.
This woman fulfilled her promise. Her people massacred the entire population of one of our smaller cities, all because we refused to obey her orders that she had no right to issue to us. But the killing didn't stop there. Her people, upon discovering various other 'perversions' that my people regularly engaged in, decided that they would wage a war of genocide against my entire race, both on Earth and anywhere else they could find us. As they now had the technology with which to do this thing, they began to carry it out.
Since our people are highly telepathic, our tech is built in such a way that it senses our minds telepathically. I can't give details, because I personally don't know them. What I do know, however, is that our tech is designed with an ultimate failsafe feature that is only accessible via telepathy... and more importantly, only accessible by Elohim minds. This means that any human (or other being, for that matter) that has the ability to telepathically project their thoughts would not be able to access this failsafe feature of Elohim technology. Furthermore, once this failsafe is implemented, only the individual Elohim who implemented it in the first place is able to remove it. This is of the utmost importance to what I'm about to write down below.
The humans had fleets of our ships. My people are hyper-advanced. The humans were bent on utterly destroying us for our refusal to follow their morality. In a way, one might consider this genocidal war an early human "holy war," given the heavily morality-centered nature of this war. If they would have left this star system in our ships, they would have been able to totally destroy my entire species. The Elohim who remained from the original attacks didn't wish to harm anyone, but the humans using our technology had crossed the line, and so we knew we had no choice if we wanted to save our own people from utter extinction. Telepathically, each and every surviving member of my race on Planet Earth, Mars, and other colonies we had in the Solar System, implemented the failsafe feature in all of our technology. This resulted in every single one of the ships powering down, all the weapons the humans were using against my people to simply turn off, and many, many humans died when the life support systems on our ships stopped working.
When all this was completed, we all went our separate ways. We abandoned our mountain homes because they were now obvious targets, and because we had shut off our technology, we were far more vulnerable to the swords and spears humans originally had fought their battles with before we landed on Earth. Many of us shapeshifted into a permanent human appearance so that we could blend in with human society and not immediately draw the ire of human authorities, which still desperately wanted us all dead. The remaining Elohim are alive today only because of our actions those many thousands of years ago. Part of me feels like asking for forgiveness, but in reality there is nothing to forgive. If Humanity were faced with a similar threat of utter annihilation, and the only option to end that threat involved killing mass numbers of those who would wish them dead, they would definitely use such an option. So what we did does not require human forgiveness. Humans tried to destroy us, and we did the only thing we could in order to survive; I, for one, refuse to apologize for our actions.
So our exile was self-induced. We chose, of our own free will, to scatter ourselves and to lock our abilities away so deeply within our own minds that we should never be able to access them again during our lifetimes. A reincarnation of a person who implemented the failsafe cannot unlock it, no matter how much they may desire to do so, because the telepathic link requires not only the soul, but the biological body that the soul originally implemented the failsafe from.
Anyway, that is the story in a nutshell.
