Hand Over the Alien
It started out as a normal day in Southern California, but it didn't stay normal. A convoy of tanks and military transports rolled down Palos Verdes Drive and stopped outside of 1800. They spread out along the road in front of the main building of the compound.

General Stihl climbed out of the transport and four heavily armed soldiers flanked him. He walked up to the gate and pressed the buzzer.

	Grace blinked. "That...doesn't look good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When does it ever look good?" Syd asked. "I /know/ the team hasn't done anything lately to warrant the military showing up on our doorstep." Right? Things had been quiet lately. Which of course meant that something happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Titan's been good, so I know he didn't do anything." Andy says. "I'll go get my sword and then maybe we should go out there and see what they want, Syd. It's probably just a misunderstanding of some kind." he offers optimistically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By the authority of the US Army I am ordering you to surrender the alien immediately," General Stil ordered. He was quite annoyed they hadn't opened the gates yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace blinked. Alien? "Wait...they want us to surrender Zoey's imaginary friend?" If Ohu was still here, this is where she'd turn and tell him that he wasn't being funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait a minute. Alien? We don't have an alien here." Except for Zoey's imaginary friend George. Key word there was imaginary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“You mean that character from the story she was always telling us,” Eiltin asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy returns with his sword just in time to hear something about an alien. "Well there you have it. It's a misunderstanding. There's just us gods, demi-gods and good-looking bookworms here." Andy teases. He looks around, however, and notices that Marlow isn't back from wherever she went. "You don't think Marlow knows anything about this, do you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-09-27 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"Probably not," Syd said. "I don't know," she said to Eiltin. Oh what did they do now? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-09-27 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"You have ten seconds before we come in there," General Stil said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay, now this guy is just being belligerent. He hasn't shown a warrant or probable cause for entry, and he's threatening to kick the gate in and come in." Andy says, not liking the direction this is going.

If they want a fight, Andy, they ain't goin' home until they get one, or until they get more of a fight than they thought. Titan says in his mind.

"Okay, I'm going out there to tell them not to come in here." Andy says.

	The tanks and troops moved closer to the gate and walls. They had about five seconds left before they moved. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Do you want me to do and check up on Zoey,” Eiltin asked Syd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-09-27 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Please," Syd said. "I'll go with Grace and Andy to talk. Hopefully we can do this without fighting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eiltin gave a quick nod before disappearing running to find Zoey. While he couldn’t keep up Ruarc was running after him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They DO realize that sending a whole squad here to reprimand a little girl's imaginary friend is pretty damn stupid, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The military isn't known for being smart," Syd said as the three of them walked toward the gate. "General," Syd said carefully. "There appears to a big misunderstanding. We are not harboring any aliens. Just a few humans and a few godlings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I assure you ma'am, there is not a misunderstanding. We have tracked the alien down to this location. We have come to collect him and take him back to Area 51." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Supposing, for a moment, that there /was/ an alien here...he's a sentient being and you're detaining him by force. That's a crime in at /least/ four or five countries I can think of outright. This being one of them." Andy says.

"Furthermore, you've produced no legal paperwork stating that you have justification to even come here and conduct a search. You brought tanks and weapons to a place where known gods and humans congregate.

You realize that you are starting a war with at least three different pantheons with your actions alone, General? Ordering your men to storm in here by force could result in dire consequences for the people you're sworn to protect." Andy tells him.

Of course, Zeus probably wouldn't lift a finger if something happened to Andy.

Mom, Dad and Argo, however, would kill someone.

	"All extraterrestrials working here on Earth are restricted to their appropriate community in Nevada. The alien left without permission. We are to bring him back to his designated area." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait a minute. This has to deal with Area 51 and the time the team went there last year, doesn't it?" Syd groaned. She knew there had to be some fallout from that. Dammit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-09-28 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Area 51 is real? Seriously?" Grace blinked. This was absurd. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-09-28 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"It is. They went there last year to find aliens and they did. They also got into a fight with the Hulk and the military." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-09-28 04:23 am UTC (link)
	Andy's head turns in Sydney's direction at the mention of the Hulk. They'd seen him recently? "Well, keeping them corralled isn't right, General. But the fact still remains that we don't have an alien here." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
