I also wonder why the blob stopped with Jem. This is a wild zillion to one guess but could Jem unknown to himself be a mixed specie? (I'm not even Sure thats the right term) Perhaps he's has some of the same DNA as whoever was in that disc...OK you can stop rolling your eyes now. "Yes. I'll be bringing up new heads to replace the four you discharged. Mya, you, too. Just give me a moment to go and change my pants." That was a good line although it was only coffee.I'm not ashamed to admit if I had witnessed this it wouldn't have been coffee. "Even good governments like Earth's get distracted from what's needed." Oh come on @Geron Kees I know this is fiction but good governments from EARTH?????

Might have?🤔.....OH! OH! right might have. Kidding😄

As strange as this sounds perhaps in the future when Devin and Mac go to a public place they should strategize about what place they can go to if a incident happens and they have to transform. There was no choice this time but luckily the cameras were disabled but most places these day there will be a good chance the cameras will catch them

Sorry about your friend I'll scrounge something up for the gofundme page. It's scary mother nature can kick everybody's ass. I guess she was just very private. Still is, I mean. Judging by her little smile as she shakes her head and leaves, she doesn’t really mind, though there is some sadness in her eyes. Maybe she’s hungover after all. I took those comments to mean in the back of his mind Mike is thinking his Mom won't make it. And Maggie's sad look tells me she feels bad for Mike and knows what's coming. Sure hope I'm wrong "Hey, no secret conversations without me!" he says with a mock pout. "Should I be jealous, Liam?" I laugh nervously, but Liam doesn’t miss a beat. "Hell yeah you should," he says, leans over, and plants a quick but affectionate kiss on my cheek. My eyes pop out. John raises an eyebrow and feigns shock. "Oh, is that how it is now?" He turns to CJ, who’s laughing at us at the edge of the pool, and gives him a kiss on the cheek as well. "There, now it’s even!" While I'm at it with my speculations these comment make me think Liam and his friend may have fooled around (and maybe still do ) especially Liam and John. Perhaps Liam may have told his friends about Mike and right now that are trying to get Mike to be comfortable with them.Maybe I'm over reaching here but does Liam want to include Mike in a group thing with them? And would Mike be into that?

"I'm still going to mention it at the next discussion. Someone needs to at least consider the idea of defending our towns if they're attacked." They were speaking of the possibility of the Orx attacking the town but everyone seemed to forgot about Gem saying the siffel was also acting different are those green blobs attached to them also? If so then the towns are in danger of being attacked by them

Damn none of the TV packages I looked up online offer the Bat channel

Your title of the next chapter might have readers thinking Chris will stalk Kevin and confront him but that would only make things worse for Chris.I'm thinking Chris and Danny may be kindred spirits and they will come up with a scheme using Danny's executive Dad to screw over Kevin. Wow The Black Crowes are any of them going to have a speaking part?

Our teenage gamers would be essential on that planet

I'm thinking the same thing @drpaladin is. Master Terpin said "I don't think so. It is apparent now that the two orx we initially captured were used to lure us to within attack range of the massed orx hiding in the pack ice. That is not the sort of trick I will fall for twice. True Master Terpin won't fall for that again but perhaps this parasite that might be controlling the orx may also have the ability to change tactics. I would hope he could consider that

With. apologies to @Ivor Slipper and to anyone unfortunate enough to read this. If the The siffle ever becomes extinct there there could be an epidemic The whole planet would have to deal with ....wait for it....siffle-less......Hope I'm not banned

While I love this chapter I'm really looking forward to the next chapter or two.After my stroke, I was asked by my son, Roger, to sign several papers in Mr. Sullivan’s office. At the time, I didn’t know what I was signing. Mr. Sullivan assured me that everything was okay. But what if I had signed my home over to Roger? My accountant informed me that he was writing checks to a home maintenance firm to care for the outside of the home. They regularly mowed the lawn and trimmed the bushes. The pool had been drained, and a cover was put over it for safety reasons. I needed to know if it was move-in ready for Susan and Stanley. And most importantly, do I still own the house? If not, I may have to sue Roger to reclaim my property rights. That's what many readers including myself have been worried about and I'm anxious for Colin to contact Phil's attorney not only for Phil's sake but for Susan and Stanley's sake.If any of what Phil just mentioned Turns out to be the case I believe Mr.Sullivan should be as liable as Roger in being sued If I recall Mr. Sullivan insisted on these papers being signed.But I do hope it doesn't come to that🤞 Before closing my eyes, I look out the window and see a strange boy who appears to be about thirteen looking inside. I’m startled because he looks much like me at that age. I guess that would be Phil's great Grandson. I see that as a good sign

“They messed with my horn, so it shouted racial slurs every time I hit the break!” While I don't condone that I have to admit Billy's nephews are pretty smart and creative. “It was hardly a threat, Bradly. It was a line from a song that was paraphrasing Shakespeare for fuck's sake, and they didn't say it, the Eagles did.” “What was the line?” Steve asked. Okay Steve I'll answer the question for you ( I hope Steve acknowledges that in the next chapter😄) "The more I think about old Billy was right let's kill all the lawyers ,kill em tonight" While I get Kenny's feelings what he's doing is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Oh man I'm so looking forward to Billy cross examination the human chimney

Yes, you witnessed it, but it would have happened the same way whether you were there or not..First off I totally agree with what Robert said what hell could Andrew have done anyway? So while I agree with what Robert said I once had a conversation with someone I know who likes to go on website where there are Camboys .He proceded to tell me they are a lot of very young Boys/Men that are from Columbia and nearby Latin American countries(probably mostly legal but who knows) I remember reading an article that spoke of the job market in Columbia being so bad that many of these young men do this to try to pay their way through college. I asked this guy "Aren't you taking advantage of these boys bad situation? And he said something similar to Robert "This would be happening anyway whether I do this or not" I guess my point is while there are big differences between Robert and the person I spoke with that statement can be used to rationalize if not bad behavior then less then good behavior. I'm sure Black has had Andrew checked out.If Andrew goes to Kyle and Black finds out expect Black's thugs to go to Andrew's island residence since he won't be there I worry that Andrew's parents might be in harms way

More often then not that would be a bad thing in this story It might be a good thing.

I have to agree with @Summerabbacat that Peter will not react well to what Justin will reveal.‘Don’t be stupid. Blokes don’t say those sort of things to each other!’ He sounds like an American male from the 40's or 50's.

Pretty good history lesson and good stuff with Gem and Nico getting to know each other. Some random weird thoughts (what else from me) I guess I wouldn't do well there since the way they describe the animal life there they don't seem to have their version of a pet dog. Now that they said there are no winged creatures there why do I get the thought one is going to show up?( How would they react to Browbeat?) Any explanation how they came up with New Australia? If the U.S. had anything to do with this they would surely call this place New America. A lot of old timers agrees people from Old Earth will eventually be back.Some foreshadowing there?Could that be part of the story? When they were speaking of having plenty of vegetables there. Any Pizza? Perhaps we could get Charlie to transport us and we can open up a pizza place there. That got me thinking no monetary system has been mentioned in this story do they have one?

Were you once in the business? It sounds like you're familiar with what roadies do.Jackson Browne wrote a song about roadies with the lyrics "They're the first to come and last to leave" You captured that part. This story could go so many directions. The story title is Roadie In Love and the first though is Kevin in love with Eric but after hearing more about Eric maybe it is not recipricated.Perhaps it Danny who is the roadie in love.He mentioned Kevin singing well .Some foreshadowing there perhaps.The main reason why I think it will still be Kevin and Eric is that they are ones with the hot pictures (But that's no guarantee of course) Lyrics are original for this story. Same copyright as story applies. (crumples up paper)Damn I almost had this song I was working on written now I have to come up with new lyrics

It would cost too much gas get there I think🤔

What Jem said about the Siffle and it's similarity to what's happening with the Orx now makes me wonder if they are being controlled by something unknown Jem and Nico are both giving off clues that they will be more then friends Since Master Terpin and Mister Sharples took Jem's suggestion I now think Orx will now try to board the ship BTW I went to my favorite seafood restaurant today........They didn't have Orx🤷‍♂️

If this one goes up to present day maybe you can mention casually (just in passing "cough, cough") About people being in there bar watching The Celtics win the NBA championship

Call me stupid I guess. In the previous story Pete's Bar and Grill was referred to as a classic dive bar.I didn't know it was a gay bar.Yeah it was mentioned that it was patronized by mostly men but thats most dive bars gay or straight . l looked again at the story were we supposed to know it was a gay bar?And it took me a minute to realize Eryk was Zippy. Some random thoughts. Most of us could have used a Aunt Sally in our lives growing up . "Boobala…darling…what on God's green earth made you think that log of his was gonna fit into your fireplace?" I'll say one thing for GA stories you find out all the cool metaphors "we are gonna sit and have a discussion about the gay facts of life." I know there have been books written on this topic I think the title would be (If it hasn't already been used) is "The Gay Birds And The Bees (What you parents didn't know to tell you). "Penis breath". Hard to believe that line was in the movie E.T. I was glad to see the word Epilogue? There are still some things to be written about like Uncle Pets health. Mikey and Eryk taking over the bar and maybe upgrading it. Mikey's sperm donor and incubator (They should be in prison) making an appearance. And maybe if you go far enough into the future Mikey and Eryk getting legally married. A very good everyman working class love story. BTW I wonder how Eddie Rabbitt would feel about his song being a title of a GA story?

Well obviously way soon to form any speculation but I'm going to anyway😄 The talk of the orc acting unusual traveling in packs where they hadn't before combined with talk of the weather being unusual my first reaction is Benteen is experiencing some sort of global warming of their own . I may be WAY!!!! off but that's the thought that came to me first

Another excellent chapter. Some random thoughts.BTW following @Parker Owens comment is a tall order and unlike me he has enough class to not brag about being first LOL. I'm still curious why Mr. Black allowed this interview he's only in it for profit and as far as I can see there is no profit in doing this. And also while Andrew of course would not mention Mr. Black in the book but the way he may describe him in the book might give a clue to someone reading it who he is. I remember reading something about how Asians are popular among this kind of clientele because even though they are men they can pass as teenagers. @Mikiesboy got that spot on. I believe the card Andrew gave to Dante will come into play.I'm thinking whoever bought Matt does not want him as a sextoy I think he(or she) wants to sell him at this market because Matt will fetch a lot of $$$$$. I'm picturing Dante calling Andrew to tell him he saw Matt at the market. This is very VERY small observation that isn't a big deal but Dante kept addressing Andrew by his first name like he was familiar to him and almost like a friend.I think it would have been more appropriate for Dante to call him "McCabe". If I were editing this I would have pointed that out........Hmm🤔 @kbois didn't did she?😄

Yeah because then it would have become a money laundering operation..........OK I'll go quietly now

Very insightfuI. I bet a lot of readers have had similar thoughts even if they don't agree the though was there. For reasons that would be inappropriate to state here I think we do go on in some way. The how and the what I have no idea
