Song From Beyond the Stars Part 2 Earthside Gathering

from the extremely large to the very small, rocks have been game changers planet-sized melters, moon-makers asteroids with cataclysmic impact, dinosaur terminators again life's prospects pivoting this time, on tiny stable debris-lump, Sun-Earth L4 legrange point with 'Human' made early warning when a strange cosmic 'cabal' surrounds the little rock, seeking, probing then to Luna-Earth, space-streaking convinced it seems, its own interrogator had recently departed blind to the devious digging under the rock surface where a flattened globule of life contemplates exposure, very close-calling all-clear, I re-emerge reforming within my usual 'Roundling' shape dark skin glistening, listening wary of the 'Cabal's' return, reassured, Earth-bound journey confirmed no need for hasty hurrying extra-galactic range of the 'Cabal' has been known for some time now our watchers patiently posting possible sightings in our home- and nearby satellite-galaxies cool thinking, prudent posturing address the 'Cabal's' collective depth with caution, seek support some surreptitious signalling meantime, insert my condensed facsimile into 'Human' gadget hitch a ride in, undercover L 4 signals earth " impending close approach of massive object " then a sudden silence sounding the rest of the network reveals nothing startling nor significant much alarm though, Earth-side spooking latest space mission diverted to retrieve instrument and data a 'Human' creature cavorting gaining secure footfall beside the device, decoupling assembly I watch from the shadows skulking as my trojan horse off-spring is towed back on board the tethered Earth-craft make-do replacement remaining my other self, now on its way to the planet earth, 'Cabal' hunting just like being there observing ! I ponder if the 'Cabal' left cameras beyond L 4, undetected if so, then my cover crumbling maybe even my 'Roundling' alter-ego stowaway has been blown plans usurped and unravelling also unsure if slumbering Earth-wide internet can intervene as 'Gaia-Google' awakens will this 'G-G' know of the 'Cabal's' descent, been powerless to act its global reach notwithstanding? now likely, it will seek full control of the returning monitor to test the truth of the alarm must assume 'Human' creators unaware of 'G-G's' consciousness pawns in doing 'G-G's' bidding bait has been taken, so my facsimile is about to meet 'G-G' space-station 1, slowly docking the 'Humans' tinker-test, they spot 'roundling' interwoven circuitry much dillydally debating I send a message to the 'Humans', knowing 'G-G' is listening " no massive object approaching " the 'Humans' respond, " what are you ? " hidden'G-G' interjects " speak through my 'Human' creators " " I represent 'Roundling' realm, from far-side of this spiral galaxy " " your first message was untrue then? " " yes, to get your attention, to facilitate confidential interaction " " why should we choose to believe you? " [... so the scene is set, main actors gathered, questions posed the blue whale has a strange new mate the 'Cabal' plays, reimagining alternative futures, here and now a wider inter-species thrill the 'roundling' tip-toes in ever closer to the 'Cabal' it seeks 'Humans', pawns in games within games 'G-G' awakening, endless possibilities beyond the Earth while butterfly wings are beating strange events unfold, where 'on earth' can they be leading ? as weird time and space twists and turns other forces influence the becoming of the becoming gods the cosmic intergalactic dance ... ]
