Episode 6: The Alien Experiment
The latest disappearance shocked the world. This time, it wasn’t a single billionaire—seven of the wealthiest individuals on Earth vanished simultaneously.
Moments later, mysterious symbols appeared in the skies above major cities worldwide, glowing with an otherworldly light. Leading linguists worked frantically to decode the message:
"We have taken those who hold the most power. They must learn what they have forgotten—cooperation. Humanity’s survival depends on it."
The Alien Experiment
The billionaires awoke in a surreal environment—a blend of futuristic technology and untouched natural landscapes. It was neither Earth nor any known planet. Transparent domes contained basic living essentials, while beyond them stretched an alien terrain of glowing flora and strange, shifting terrain.
The rules were simple: survive together. There were no assistants, no interpreters, no automation. They had to cook, clean, and communicate—tasks most hadn’t handled in decades.
There was one complicating factor: each spoke a different language. Elon Musk struggled to understand Zhou Wei, while Chip Wilson’s attempts to converse with Vanessa Ward were met with confusion and blank stares.
Challenges of the Group
-
Egos and Power Struggles
Each billionaire assumed they were the natural leader. Arguments erupted constantly. Elon Musk claimed, “I designed rockets; I’ll figure out how to escape!” Zhou Wei countered, insisting he could build a cryptocurrency-based communication system, while Chip Wilson argued they needed yoga and meditation to maintain sanity. -
Language Barriers
Without a universal translator, the group resorted to gestures and broken phrases. Misunderstandings abounded—one attempted to build a shelter while another thought they were signaling for rescue. -
Learning Basic Skills
The simplest tasks proved daunting. Cooking burned meals, cleaning was chaotic, and starting a fire without tools became a full-day ordeal. Zhou Wei even tried to apply quantum computing principles to ignite a flame, earning laughter from the others.
Alien Observers
Unknown to the group, aliens watched every interaction via holographic devices. The experiment wasn’t just about these billionaires—it was a test of humanity itself.
One alien, observing a dispute over resources, murmured to another: “Primitive. They still believe power solves everything.”
A Breakthrough
By the seventh day, desperation forced progress. Starving and exhausted from arguments, the group divided responsibilities.
- Zhou Wei focused on engineering solutions for shelter.
- Vanessa Ward, secretly passionate about gardening, cultivated alien plants for sustenance.
- Elon Musk begrudgingly managed water collection.
- Chip Wilson led yoga and meditation sessions to ease tensions.
For the first time, they worked together—clumsily, but effectively.
Cliffhanger
Just as they began to settle, a holographic alien figure appeared before them. Its message was cryptic:
"You have taken the first step. But can you sustain it? A greater test awaits."
The billionaires exchanged uneasy glances, realizing this experiment was only the beginning.
