Stephen was sitting in a chair close by working formulas out on his laptop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI am going into Atlanta to give a short address. I would like you two to attend as my science advisers. It is not mandatory but would be appreciated. I think the world could use some assurance right now.

I think that there will be attempts made on our lives. I need to know you will be here to continue the fight should anything happen to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSound thinking Cristian. We have made changes to your shields in anticipation of trouble. They will now extend 100 feet out from the ship. They will protect you from everything, including a nuclear attack. Everyone inside the shield will be safe. You will be able to fire outward from the inside of the shield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cThank you, Raguel. I will be bringing Larry King back with me. I am sure he will want to interview you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cWe look forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">In the cafeteria, the rest of the scientists were gathered having discussions. \u201cHello, Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSon, we were just talking about the changes to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cSome of us would like to rejoin the population in this timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI have no problem with that, you are not prisoners here. I never want you to think that.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cI sense a but,\u201d said Paul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cCorrect, Paul, you were all involved in an Alien Hybrid program that will make the population uneasy. There may be attempts made on your lives as a result. Not to mention that we have won a minor victory here. The war is not over, there is a planet full of Lizards out there. They won\u2019t be very happy about losing a food supply. I could use your help. I trust the people in this cave, I am not sure I trust the people out there yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYou make a very persuasive argument, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cPaul and all of you take some time to think about it. I would hate to lose any of the team that helped rid the planet of Lizards. I am on my way to pick up Larry King and bring him here. I am sure he will want to interview all of you while he is here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cLorelei?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cYes, Husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u201cOh good, the comm system is up.
