You have to have cows, or some other milk-producing animal to have cheese. I suppose if none were brought to Benteen, we'll have to import some!

Maybe. And maybe not. Many plans are drawn, but never come to light unless needed!

Thanks for the kind assessment of the story. I tend to get very involved with my characters, as if I know them. As if they're friends. That surely leads to them presenting more like real people. Conversation is a very important aspect of a story. If it doesn't sound natural, it doesn't sound real. As I write, I switch between characters. Being them gives them some solidity! I'd like to think the rest of the story will go as well as what has come before. Thanks!

"Bzup. Come out." Jem and Nico stood outside the tank and watched as the alien ascended the inside of the transparent front, and then made his way down the outside. Nita stood nearby, doing something on her pad, nodding, and looking slightly amused. "I wonder if he slept any?" Nico asked, as the little alien stepped off onto the deck and stopped. "After the big day he had yesterday, I would think he would be tired." "Deera's drones said he didn't move all night long," Nita said, p

I can see Annette and Bzup now, laying on a beach blanket together...
-
I'll try not to disappoint you!
-
You're right. A surfboard armed with torpedoes would be better!
-
Beach Blanket Bingo!
-
If they get to the point where they can just hold a conversation, that will probably be enough!
-
There must have been a sale on crystal balls, or something!

Only time will tell!

If it was something that absolutely DELIGHTED the human senses, those poor aliens had better run and hide!
-
Once they suspected Bzup might be intelligent, locking him up became a problem. In their place, I would have had to go with giving Bzup the benefit of the doubt. But, we'll see how it goes!

No bicycles. Will a surfboard do?

We'll have to wait and see!

If that was ET phoning home, can you imagine the bill from AT&T?
-
I can, too! Bzup: "Did you hear the one about the six-armed Phenomopblish from Aardavarstark?" Nico: "Oh...that's the one where she twiddled her own Kazoostick?" Jem, leaning forward and smiling" "Oh, I love that story!" Nico, nodding: "Yeah! Tell us again!"

I like the idea of a long, multi-tonal alien fart, though!

Since the decision to release Bzup from the tank involved everyone aboard ship, and the entire crew save Moira and Til were already present in the catch room, Master Terpin simply convened the meeting then and there. Moira was called from her sleep, and Til Majors watched from the display, and Jem could tell from the expression on the man's face that he was not happy with the proceedings. "We have no idea how dangerous this creature may be," Til said, when the master acknowledged his reques
