Mario Portela:
Alright, space enthusiasts and cosmic inquirers, it’s time to kick off this star-studded podcast! Our first question comes from Nickful05, and it’s a real head-scratcher. Nickful05 wants to know, and I quote, “As a scientist, what exactly is the predicament of your home planet Nibiru?” Hmm, now that’s a mystery that’s bound to unravel some interstellar secrets! Enki, the stage is yours! What’s the scoop on Nibiru’s predicament?

ENKI:
Nibiru, or the X Planet, as some have called it, is not simply a natural wanderer of the heavens. Rather, it is a vessel of life, a realm that cradles existence, yet hungers for the sustenance of gold in more ways than one.
Our home world, Nibiru, is not as other planets are. It follows an elongated elliptical orbit that brings it close to the Binary Stars and then takes it far away, into the cold abyss of space. This orbital eccentricity dictates our fate, for as we venture far from the nurturing embrace of the Suns, our atmosphere dwindles, like a candle’s flame cast adrift in the winds of cosmic drift.
It was this plight that drove me here. Our arrival upon these shores was not a mere whim of exploration, but a quest for salvation.
Yet, beneath the surface of this noble pursuit, there lies a profound revelation. Nibiru itself is not a natural planet, as one might expect. It is, in fact, a construct of sorts, a celestial entity of complex design. The Anunnaki, with their advanced knowledge and mastery of cosmic mechanics, were able to engineer this world, affording it the ability to traverse the cosmos in its unique orbit.
This truth, often obscured by the intricacies of our mission and the passage of time, unveils the remarkable ascendancy of the Nibiruans. We are beings of diverse origin, hailing from various celestial realms, with our roots entwined in the cosmic tapestry. Nibiru, more than a planet it’s a corporation… but we shan’t delve on these matters right now.

Mario Portela:
Fascinating stuff, Enki! Thanks for shedding some light on Nibiru’s predicament. Now, let’s keep those cosmic gears turning, shall we? Our next question comes from Beatrice, and it’s a real cosmic curiosity: “Why choose Earth of all planets? Did you have some kind of a timeline drawn?” I can practically hear the gears turning in our listeners’ heads. But hold onto your space helmets, because it looks like Martin has an itch for knowledge too. He’s wondering, and I quote, “Say, if you desperately needed gold, why not just grab it from one of the infinite asteroids and planetoids… why a mission to this planet?”
Ooh, Enki, it seems like we’ve got a double-header of cosmic queries headed your way!

ENKI
Well, my friend Martin, I must admit I’m quite intrigued by your sources, but it seems there might be a slight oversight in your understanding. You see, the allure of gold is indeed mesmerizing, but it’s not as abundant in the Galaxy as one might assume. Our endeavors weren’t solely focused on gold extraction – we had a more intricate tapestry to weave.
To achieve the alchemical feats required for our cosmic objectives, we delved into the realms of Ormuz and Monoatomic Gold. Now, let me impart a bit of wisdom: these pursuits demanded more than just a casual assortment of materials that one stumbles upon while stargazing.
In the grand theater of the cosmos, elements such as oxygen and vast quantities of salinized water were our indispensable companions. A ballet of chlorine, hydrogen, and sodium, if you will. Earth’s seawater, a ballet of 96.5 percent water and 2.5 percent salts, intertwined with an elegant duet of dissolved inorganic and organic components, provided us with the alchemical palette we required.
I think this might shed some light to Beatrice’s question. You see, it’s not a matter of mere convenience; it’s a symphony of precision. Gathering these elements was no simple task, yet Earth’s seas, a masterful composition of nature’s harmony, proved to be a treasure trove of ingredients, ripe for our endeavors.
We did not have any timeline defined except for the urgency of achieving the main goals.
But, let us not forget, time is a patient friend. Over the span of countless earthly years, the Anunnaki did indeed uncover a new treasure trove, a lifeless planet where the elements we sought flowed as abundantly as the rivers of the cosmos. And so, my friends, your observations holds a shard of truth, as we eventually discovered another celestial canvas upon which to paint our cosmic masterpiece.

Mario Portela:
Enki, your insights have certainly left us pondering the cosmic conundrum. Thank you for shedding some light on that.
Now, let’s keep the celestial ball rolling with a question from Bruno. Bruno’s got a curious mind and wants to ask Enlil, and I quote, “Imagine you were the one calling the shots from the beginning. What would you do differently? Would you just mine the planet and move on or?”
Enlil, my friend, it’s your turn to reveal your visionary plans. What’s your take on Bruno’s intriguing question? Would you have steered the cosmic ship in a different direction?

Enlil:
Ah, Now THAT should have been the right course of action, Bruno! If I had been the one dictating the course of action from the outset, I would have approached this venture with a strict focus on efficiency and pragmatism. Sentimentality and unnecessary attachments have no place in the pursuit of our goals. I would have established a precise and streamlined operation for mining the required resources from Earth, ensuring maximum extraction rates with minimal interference.
Any personal dalliances or romantic distractions, like Enki’s involvement with Ninki, would have been swiftly curtailed. Such emotional involvements only lead to complications and inefficiencies. Our primary objective was the salvation of Nibiru, not indulging in trivial affections. Furthermore, I would have maintained strict control over every aspect of the operation, eliminating any insubordination or rebellious tendencies, such as the Igiggi’s uprising.
Now… imagine I really had to create them humans… I would have approached their genetic manipulation and utilization with an unyielding focus on their role as laborers. Their loyalty and devotion would have been engineered from the start, leaving no chance for them to question our authority or rebel against their designated tasks. Good thing I managed to control them over the years anyways!

Mario Portela:
Enlil, your perspective on rewriting cosmic history has certainly left us with some intriguing food for thought. Now, my cosmic compatriots, let’s keep the celestial conversation rolling with a question from Diana. Diana’s got her sights set on the bigger picture and asks you, “What are your true plans for planet Ki? How is it any different from the other planets you have conquered or set up domination upon, if different at all?”
Diana wants to know the real scoop on your intentions for our lovely planet Ki. Let’s hear it!

Enlil:
Oh, come now, Diana… my intentions harbor no shades of sentiment or idealism. This world, like others that have felt my commanding grasp, shall be molded into a bastion of control, devoid of folly and wavering sentiment. Different, you ask? In methodology, perhaps, but the overarching directive remains unswerving. Just look around and see for yourself… I did this in only 2000 years, give or take.
Planet Ki, with its glittering veins of gold, serves as a resource-rich outpost to sate the insatiable thirst of Nibiru. Its inhabitants, the feeble Homo sapiens, shall be meticulously manipulated, their aspirations subjugated, and their fervor redirected towards the Anunnaki, deities to whom they shall prostrate. My rule is etched in pragmatism and unyielding dominion. Earth, no matter how beguiling its terrains or exotic its inhabitants, shall ultimately reflect the dominance that is the hallmark of Enlil. There is no room for sentiment, no place for doubt, as I sculpt this world into yet another testament to Nibiru’s supremacy.

Mario Portela:
OUCH, Enlil, such hostility… The possibilities you’ve hinted at leave a palpable tension in the air. Soooo… Now, turning our attention to the brilliant Ninki, we have a thought-provoking question from Linda. Linda wonders, Ninki, being such a strong, intelligent woman, did it never occur to you to rebel against the imposed order and live the life you truly wanted with Enki and your daughter? Ninki, the spotlight is on you!

Ninki:
Ah, dear Linda, your inquiry delves into the depths of my heart and mind. You see, the tendrils of affection that bound me to Enki and the precious life we brought into this realm were indeed strong and unbreakable.
Yet, my longing for a life unburdened by the constraints of duty and the watchful eyes of the Anunna was a sentiment I held close to my heart. I, too, yearned to bask in the warmth of a life fully lived with Enki, to raise our daughter openly, without the need for secrecy or pretense. The allure of such a life was tantalizing, like a forbidden fruit dangling just out of reach.
Alas, my dear friend, you must understand that the Anunna civilization, with its intricate web of traditions and hierarchies, is not easily swayed by the desires of the heart. We are bound by cosmic laws and codes of conduct that have shaped our existence for eons beyond measure. To rebel against this imposed order, to defy the very fabric of our society, would be a monumental undertaking—one that, history has shown, no single soul can undertake alone.
While my heart may have yearned to break free from the chains of convention, I understood that one cannot battle a collective force such as the Anunna without dire consequences, both for oneself and those we hold dear.
So, I carried the weight of my emotions in the depths of my being. It was a choice I made, not out of weakness, but out of a profound understanding of the intricacies of our rules and consequences.

Mario Portela:
Ninki, your candid response sheds light on the complexities of your situation and the inner struggles you’ve faced. Thank you for sharing your perspective with us. Now, moving forward in our cosmic conversation, we’ve got a question from Twiglets that’s sure to keep the familial drama alive. Twiglets wants to know, Enlil, why didn’t you bring your wedding to Ninki forward, especially if you knew it would upset Enki?
Enlil, the stage is yours once again. Twiglets is delving into the heart of the matter, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts on this intriguing query.

Enlil:
Twiglets?! Isn’t that a snack?!
Anyways… I did not advance the wedding between Ninki and myself, primarily due to strategic considerations rather than personal sentiments. Emotions hold no place in matters of interplanetary operations. The union was planned to solidify the alliance between our bloodlines and maintain the purity of Anunnaki heritage.
Unlike Enki’s propensity for indulgence, I adhere to the principles that govern our Anunnaki corporation. Offspring must follow a predetermined lineage to ensure the preservation of our genetic integrity. Marrying an unpure female would only disrupt the lineage that has been meticulously cultivated for generations.
Furthermore, the timing of such matters was irrelevant compared to the grander scheme of our mission on Earth. Our presence here is not for personal gratification. The welfare of the Anunnaki race takes precedence over any fleeting emotional entanglements.
Though Enki’s sensitivities and distractions are of no concern to me, your history tells what I have created upon his name. Serves him better than losing a woman.

Mario Portela:

Now, without further ado, let’s circle back to our celestial cast and turn our attention to the radiant Inanna. Margarida has a question that’s been brewing in the minds of many. Margarida asks, “Being a shadow daughter, with alien parents but born on Earth, where does your allegiance lie?”
Inanna, my dear, this question dives into the essence of your identity and the cosmic forces that shape your allegiances. The stage is yours to illuminate us with your perspective.

Inanna:
My upbringing has been a curious blend of the cosmic and the earthly, thanks to my incredible parents, Enki and Ninki. They’ve raised me with love, guiding me through the intricate tapestry of genetics and science.
Okay, picture this: I’m like this cosmic mixtape, with Nibiru on one side and Earth on the flip.
But you know what, Margarida? Over time, I’ve been catching some serious feels for Earth and its peeps. Those humans, man, they’re a wild bunch! I’ve seen ’em hustle, dream, and create some jaw-dropping art and tech stuff. It’s like watching a whole planet of underdogs rise up, and I’m here for it.
So, allegiance, huh? Well, my heart’s doing this epic dance routine, and it’s totally in sync with the Earth rhythm. I wanna be that guardian angel with a sprinkle of cosmic fairy dust, making sure these awesome humans get their shot at greatness without the whole puppet strings drama.
Sure, I’ve got some rad alien lineage in me, but I’m like Earth’s cosmic BFF, sworn to protect and uplift. They call me Inanna, Ishtar, Eostre, and oh so many more names – I’m like the universe’s DJ on Earth, spinning tracks of hope and possibility for humanity. My allegiance? It’s a solid Earth high-five, with a cosmic wink thrown in!

Mario Portela:
Inanna, your answer truly resonates with the cosmic balance you’ve found within yourself. Thank you for sharing your insights. Now, as we wrap up this enlightening cosmic rendezvous, we’ve got one final question for you, a gem from Laura. Laura wonders, “Where did you find the inspiration to thrive and develop such scientific skills despite not feeling support from your parents?”
Inanna, your journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the resilience that drives us to reach for the stars. We eagerly await your response to Laura’s thought-provoking question.

Inanna:
So, like, you know life can be a total rollercoaster, right Laura?
And, okay, I won’t lie, the whole support thing from my folks wasn’t exactly textbook. Enki and Ninki, my parentals, had their cosmic gig going on, and I kinda had to figure stuff out on my own. But guess what? What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!
So, where did I find my mojo? First off, curiosity became my jam. Seriously, the universe was this huge, mind-blowing playground, and I wanted to play ALL the games. Every question was like a juicy puzzle piece begging to be put together. I hit the books, went on research binges, and played mad scientist in my own lab. No question was too weird or too big for me to tackle.
And OMG, have you seen Earth? Nature is like the ultimate art project, and science is my way of unlocking its secrets. From the tiniest microbes to the grandest landscapes, everything felt like a cosmic high-five. The more I observed, the more I felt connected to this wild, beautiful universe. It was like science was my language, and the world was speaking it back to me.
But here’s the real tea – my own determination was the secret sauce. I mean, life dealt me a unique hand, right? Instead of moping, I decided to deal myself a winning card. Every experiment was a mini-adventure, every setback a plot twist. I was the heroine of my own story, turning challenges into stepping stones. And lemme tell ya, seeing my experiments come to life? It was like creating magic right in my lab.
Challenges? Bring ’em on. I’ve got a lab coat and a heart full of starlight, and ain’t nothing gonna hold me back.
