Wow! I'm speechless. Since I live near DC, I hope there's more to this coming, EW. That would be a difficult situation for Gatchaman. Their job is Galactor, not disputes between Earth-based countries with no Galactor connections..

Sooo, feeling a little confused.. Maybe perhaps has the invasion got something to do with This:? http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/police-state/watch-2-canadians-discover-thatthe-us-is-now-a-police-state.html It's all over Facebook and I for one am royally Pissed at what "our" supposed government is doing to Australia people and our rights. Maybe the Kanata people have had enough and it's fight back time. Or I could be totally wrong.

Actually, LW, this is the first time I saw that clip! (It seems to me it's more likely that one border guard was just some jerk on a power trip!) This snippet came from a comment I'd made a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly, some Republicans had been explaining how reforming the US healthcare system would be a bad idea -- we wouldn't want to be like Canada, which has an evil, socialist medical system, after all! It had degenerated to just general Canada-bashing. I was tired of it. I said to my dad, "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up one morning to find out the Canadians had invaded and taken over, and the rest of the world wouldn't respond for a few weeks because nobody'd believe it!"

LW - It's becoming much the same over here too, a sad state of affairs indeed. EW - I'm with Becky on this one, I hope you will continue with this storyline. I would like to see how Nambu and the team resolve this particular conflict.

EW ... yep ... I would like to see how Nambu and the team would tackle this kind of situation! KT ... from CSI to Supernatural! It's like you know the genre of series I like to watch!! I'm anxious to know more and don't know what to expect next! So intriguingly lovely! MK ... I'm full of pity towards the character! That's life ... it's easy to find the right thing but in the wrong time or situation! And, this one is really a wrong and unfortunate situation!

EW: wouldn't the wisest thing to do be to surrender, lay back and enjoy? Let the invaders take care of Galactor! KT: this is getting spooky - cue the tense music, and keep all the lights on! MK: it's very interesting to see the viewpoint of the team's prey - I wonder if they ever think that some of their enemies didn't necessarily start out that way!

MK - Certainly an interesting POV. Such a pity they got into the wrong crowd, so to speak, as they seem like a decent person. I hope the team are merciful on them and kill him/her quickly. Marie - Believe it or not, I don't watch those shows, but I'm glad you're enjoying the story anyway.

Every person I meet ... every face I see, No one a person could be trusted by me. Everywhere I go ... every place I'd be at, My self being exposed is always a threat. Intriguingly charming as my life could be ... Emotions going wild with all kinds of spree, Sad is the fact that I will never feel free.

Many thanks, guys! I have found some time to experiment with a simple and quick Acrostic poem! That's why I love the Bradbury's Jar when I find time to contribute! It gives me the chance to pop in something, when possible, even if it could be as short as this!

EW: A couple of guys in graduate school theorized that the US would one day need to invade Canada to obtain more fresh water resources. Interesting to see the shoe on the other foot. Please continue! KT: Yikes! I think the guy needs more than water, get him a stiff drink! MK: Cryptography & cyber security is my husband's line of work, so feel free to PM me if you want to bounce story ideas off of someone. Marie: Always nice to see more poetry! Nicely done.
