Are you bored with this yet? Sorry, but I'm not.
Nobody expects the Sasquatch Intervention.
Furry migrants from outer space. A shaggy ambassador sporting an Alabama accent. Homestead claims going back to the Ice Age.
Not the alien invasion we imagined, not by a long shot. Earth geopolitics are in an uproar. U.S. President Carmen Benequista is juggling red-hot pokers with little help, and she’s tired of it.
During a lucid dream, Carmen’s deceased husband tells her, “Find someone to share your life.” It’s good advice — Space Mafia executive Brandon Lopez is waiting for a signal, but God willing it should be that simple.
Meanwhile, first-contact survivor Mason Fowlkes, soon to be 16, is growing up fast as an apprentice alien-tech spaceship mechanic. The work life is great; the home life not so much.
Elsewhere, Aéronautique Lieutenant Marie Jourdaine is on the rebound after a brief stint as the world’s youngest female fighter pilot. It’s just as well; the French military is about to exit the aviation business.
In other news, maroli labor appliances are becoming self-aware. Egg-shaped grav-lift chassis. Bio-engineered tentacles strong enough to pull your arms off. Possessed perhaps by spirits of the dead.
Life happens; and sometimes, no matter what’s going on, you have to make it about you.
