It was boring being the spaceship babysitter, so I daydreamed about what would happen next.

First, we would need to get word back to the base. I'd almost certainly have to walk into Mountain Home on foot, and then allow the Karak aircraft to fly inside. There's no way they wouldn't shoot it down otherwise. I mean, that's what I would do if I were a perimeter guard, or an Airman manning the AA guns.

Oh man. Everyone would flip out. So long as nobody lost their cool and started shooting, that would be a fun sight to see.

Base Commander Elliot would probably end his vacation early when he found out. He was somewhere in Central America with his family--Costa Rica, maybe? I couldn't remember. It'd probably take him the better part of the day to return, if he even believed the message when it came. "Hey boss, an alien spaceship landed at base, so you should come home ASAP. Oh, did we mention there are aliens? Because there are aliens. Just FYI." That kind of call wasn't one a lot of people would immediately believe.

Now that I thought about it, he'd started all of this by canceling those candidate interviews. If those had still been on my schedule I probably would have been at the base cantina having late drinks with the candidates instead of alone at home. I doubt the aliens would have chosen me then, since they'd been so concerned about people going crazy. A crowded bar full of sloppy Airmen was probably a terrible place to suddenly appear out of thin air.

Maybe things happened for a reason after all. My mom had always insisted so, but I'd never believed it until now.

And then all the stuff that would happen after we escorted the Karak onto our base. The defense of our planet! Surely the Karak would share technology with us humans. Aircraft like this for everyone. I rapped my knuckle on the bulkhead and listened to the dim echo deep inside.

If we were invaded, what would the battle lines even look like? Would we fight the Wolvae in orbit? I assumed this thing could fight in space. Or maybe we'd battle the Wolvae closer to the surface. Idaho might suddenly become an awfully exciting place.

Shit, what was I thinking? War wasn't exciting, especially not the kind that could suddenly appear on our doorstep. America hadn't had a battle in its own territory in nearly a century. But still, I couldn't shake the feeling that everything was about to get a whole lot more interesting. Forget paperwork: I'd have a lot of work to do helping the Karak.

At least, I hoped I'd have a lot of work to do. Surely as the Lieutenant Colonel to make first contact--and the first to fly one of their ships!--I'd be involved in the process of--

All hell broke loose.

The cockpit flashed with bright lights and a high-pitched noise like an undulating siren. I flinched, hit my head against the wall, then covered my ears with my hands.
