Generations have been and gone since Colonel Jeremy McCloud disappeared without trace on the first space mission launched by the United States of America in August 1945.
Those involved in the launch are also gone--or have they?
Present day, twenty-first century
The first indication there might be contact with the 1945 space vessel The Javelin was unknowingly initiated by an archivist, Sophia Aburae, who heard a distinct signal originating somewhere in the archivist's expansive workrooms in Washington, DC.
On receiving notification of a mysterious signal, US military specialists became involved in detecting its whereabouts and extricating the relay assembly.
Unknown operatives were assigned the task of seeking out and destroying those involved in the delicate and secretive operation.
Unknown alien visitors--eight identically dressed beings--were assigned the task of stopping any interference by the United States Military's specialist operation forces.
A stranger, Mr. Krawn, apparently of human origin, addressed the United Nations Security Council with a request to allow asylum and safe haven for the inhabitants of an unknown planet, Ichtholia, situated in the Maritimus Galaxy, ten light-years from Earth.
A number of alien space vessels from Ichtholia descended onto the plains of the Great Western Desert in Western Australia. Primitive tribesmen of the Pintupi Nation observed the arrival of the strangers, reporting their discovery to a remote police station at Kiwirrkurra.
A desert patrol was sent to the location and--along with numerous tribesmen--observed the behavior of the alien visitors to prevent any aggressive actions toward Earth beings.
Corruption existed across many nations. Collaboration with the aliens by traitorous Xranons exacerbated the need for friendly alien forces to curb any attempts to overthrow the governments of all nations and control Earth--the blue planet!
