Doh! No problem!
-
The 'science' in science fiction has long been of questionable authenticity. Most authors prefer to base stories on SOME sort of science fact, and then make up the rest as they go along. That's actually the FUN part!
-
I think things will start to become visible shortly!
-
You have the ages right, though I just think of all the guys as 20-ish. The government loves acronyms. UAP lacks the potency of UFO. Changing the usage suggests a desire to lower the level of interest. I wonder why?
-
I think there's an echo in here!

Sorry. Hard to have a scientific object in a story without some science talk. I would think anyone advanced enough for true star travel would want contact with another species to be 'worth the trouble, NOT just PLAIN trouble. We may think we are alone a lot longer than necessary, just because someone hung a sign at the outer reaches of our solar system that says, "Beware! Dangerous natives ahead!' Mike and Bobby are both 20-ish. They could have a PlayStation if they wanted one, but...let's see...zipping around the galaxy with alien buddies in a starship, exploring strange worlds, looking for extinct civilizations...or a PlayStation? Which would YOU choose?

Yep. Fun, huh?
-
My imagination has gotten me into trouble before, until I turned it to writing about adventures, instead of having them!
-
Maybe Mike will find out this time what it's like to have a golden nose for adventure!

Guilty. Some things just don't sound right to my ear, and that was one of them. 'Boonettes' sounds like a fan group for Pat Boone. Old ladies with blue hair. I'll take myself out behind the woodshed later and whip my butt for being a sexist pig.

"Are we there yet?" Mike asked, smiling at Pacha around his sandwich. It was two relative weeks of voyaging later, up and out of the galactic arm and into the region of halo stars above. Not knowing Braunigan capabilities hampered them here. The most direct route was a straight one, but Pacha had elected to take them up out of the spiral arm and over. There were too many rumors out there that the Moth, at least, had detectors that could spot a ship on a path through the Cooee, and plot its

Always happy to have you along for the ride!
-
Holy Homer! But, um, that's better than a few of the things I was thinking, and smiling about!
-
Well, I can pull several plot points from what you've said, for future stories. It IS about time that some more Kift joined the show! As for Rick....wait and see. 😁
-
That's true. The closest I have come is driving with an accountant in the car!
-
Hey, you have a point! That makes the rest of my day look a LOT better!

Kubrick could make the movie and show us, if he were still alive. Clarke could write the next tale, and tell us, if he were still alive. But there's just me. All I ever hope for is that I can post a story and readers don't kill me for it!
-
'Boonies' sounds too much like a Steven Spielberg pirate move from the 80s. Maybe a contest is needed, to see what we can refer to the gang as. Although, Charlie and his immediate crew are Third Planet Inquiries just now. If they were dogs, we could call them Raiders of the Lost Bark. But they're not dogs, except for maybe Rick on odd Tuesdays.

I sure hope things are answered. Otherwise, I am going to be accountable to you! How you remember all the smallest details of this series amazes me! Are you secretly an elf? Um...you don't have to answer that, if it means I'll get struck by a lightning bolt, or anything.😉
-
Well, I'd answer some of these questions, but it might be better if I let the story tell you instead. More fun, certainly!
-
You have to go one-way to get anyplace! You mean you hope there's a return route?

"I can't imagine building anything out of stars," Bobby said, his eyes filled with wonder at the idea. They were seated around a circular table that Illia had provided for them, save for Pacha, who was sprawled comfortably on a pillow in the center of the table, where he could see them all. "They wouldn't have actually used the suns, themselves, I'm guessing," Mike asked. "I mean, not as suns." He frowned at Pacha. "The matter from them, right?" The Kift emitted a soft grunt at that. "

How about the Booners? That has an obviously suggestive nature that would appeal greatly to Kippy!
