The Air Force Captain took a lung full of smoke. “I saw it, but I don't know if I believe it. However, what the hell. No one else has believed either, but the question is do you believe in superheroes, because I swear to Gawd we intercepted Iron-Man and War-Machine out over Tampa Bay last night.”

Another TG blast from the past, in celebration of this July 4th. In 2001, this tale of alien invasion was meant to be my first attempt at a gender bending epic; written as straight up Science Fiction rather than as a joke. Naturally the greater story is guided by some insanely complex characters for such an action driven narrative. Would you expect any less from me?

Of course, as with my other older fiction, this is presented as originally submitted, warts and all.

So have a picnic, grab a beer, and enjoy this firecracker of an adventure.

Chapter 23

There is a difference between writing a report and then writing a paper on something. The reports come with forms and they want clear answers to questions posted in the forms to prompt you with events and things that were happening.

But to write a paper on something well especially that’s not about a topic that you’re learning about in training or classes.

Fifteen hundred plus years of civilian cut and paste and reference and link to culture did not prepare me for actually trying to sit down and to try and go through all the stuff that I was thinking when I had the idea to use the drones the way that I was doing and to take all that chaos and emotion and to turn it into a tactical paper.
