Invasion America

They came at dawn.

For nearly an hour, I've been trying to decide if I should show myself.

Are they real Americans? Or more Tyrussians?

All I know is, if I'm going to fight this war,

I can't do it alone.

David Carter can you hear me? You belong with us.

Major Stark and Sergeant Romar.

And I thought I could trust them.

Unbelieveable!

Major Stark, Colonel Gordon; General Conrad's staff.

I'd like to speak to the General, sir. - So would we.

But it's going to take a real high clearance.

From now on Major, you're reporting to me.

What happened here? - We're kinda short on theories, Colonel.

Care to speculate?

Sir, are you familiar with LightHouse report

MI-8284?

The one about the bones in the Utah cave?

Yes Major,

in fact I was there when General Conrad handed it to the President.

The president? And what was his reaction?

He shared the General's concern about

possible Extraterrestrial activity on Earth.

In that case Colonel, we have something to tell you.

Sergeant Romar and I recently had an..."Encounter".

You might find this a little hard to swallow.

Try me!

Report!

Phase 2 of the invasion plan is proceeding as scheduled, sir.

How soon? - 6 months.

You'll make me wait a long time to punish them.

Not necessarily, sir.

There is the Magnetic launcher.

Recall Sir; that the launcher is based quite close to the Earth,

yet forever hidden from their detection devices.

You have my attention!

Our projectiles will leave no tracking signals and no power trace.

We design a simple trajectory,

and let gravity do the rest.

Excellent, do it.

I didn't know how long, how far I wandered.

Hours, miles, It didn't matter.

The sun was always right on top of me.

I had to contact the Ooshati.

The freedom-fighters loyal to my father.

But the only transmitter was back on Maple Island.

And that meant finding my way

out of a million square miles of kitty litter.

The visions lasted for hours. I saw mom.

Rafe, and my father.

I'd never known how I'd imagine him before.

In my dreams there was never a face,

just a deep voice, I couldn't quite understand. A strong arm around my shoulders.

I tried to tell myself he was there to help me.

To give me the strength and courage to survive.

But if there's one thing I've learned over the past 48 hours,

that some things are never what they seem.

This vision was real.

Stay; easy boy. - He'll kill you.

That's the least of your worries kid.

Come on Blue,

a scrawny thing like him would only make a mouthful.

I've got a Rump Roast in the freezer.

It's yours if you let him go.

Okay, okay, I'll throw in the ground round too!

Thanks, I owe you one.

Huh, you owe me a freezer full of good meat.

Nice glove.

Huh, thought so. Let's go Blue.

You gonna stay here all day?

A tamed Mangler? - I pulled a thorn from his foot, once.

Who are you?

I was a sergeant at Charles when they tried to assassinate Cale-Oosha.

He was my father.

Hmm, so he and that Earthlufa didn't die after all.

Earthlufa? - Yeah, it means Earth woman.

She saved his life. - That was my mother.

So you're an Ooshati? - Ha ha, no way!

I just wasn't about to be any part of an assassination plot, so I went native.

I like it here. Earth people don't ask a lot of questions.

Folks around here call me Doc.

And the Mangler, how does he fit in?

Oh, Blue? He showed up a few weeks later.

Another survivor. Him and me got a business arrangement.

As long as I keep him fed, he keeps me safe.

The Ooshati are still fighting you know. - Without me.

I'm no hero.

Everything was fine till you showed up.

What do you mean? - Ha, do the math kid.

After what happened at the base last night,

a lot of bad guys are going to be looking for you.

I don't want you leading them to me.

Ha! Relax, kid. I'm on your side.

For now.

I need to contact the Ooshati, Doc.

Ain't the time of year for meteor showers.

Are you listening to me? I need one of those comm logs of something. - I got one,

but it hasn't worked in years.

I've have to get back home. You got a phone, Doc?

Nah, Pitchfork is the nearest town, about 2 miles south. They got a phone there.

I'll drop you off when I go for supplies tomorrow.

Then, you're on your own.

I want David Carter's face
