Tracy Island, early evening....

Scott finished typing in the report on his computer. He read through what he had written, then hit 'save'. That wasn't a bad rescue. Not that many casualties considering the situation; no injuries on our team; everything went well, even with the extra "help". "Speaking of help," he mused out loud. I should check out those kooks. Make sure they really are as benign as they seem. He punched in "Tyrikalica" on a search engine. Instantly the page lit up with sites. He began to scan them, noting that most seemed to be news reports of the "Alien International Rescue Fan Club." Scott groaned, "Yeah, that's great for our reputation."

He dug a little deeper, finally coming across their website. "Bingo!" He began reading the site, often chuckling at some of the information it contained. The blogs were especially humorous.

"I (heart) Jhutu!"

"Undlieek-asjaphe is the true meaning of beauty!"

"Who needs Earth? We have Tyrikalica!"

He then moved onto "True rescue accounts."

"It was horrible. The plane was in the water, sinking fast. I was sure I was going to die. Suddenly one of the Jestreethzi n'Hildrathuk materialized in front of me. He spoke to me, and though I couldn't understand the language, I knew I would be safe. He took my hand and then I felt a rush of cold air. When I opened my eyes, I was on a ship. It was like magic!"

"Oh, give me a break. Magic?" Scott shook his head and read on. "Pictures, now this ought to be interesting." He keyed up the page and his smile faded. There were some barely distinguishable photos that were supposed to be the ships themselves, a few blurry images of people, then...

"I'll kill him. So help me, I will kill him this time!" Scott shoved his chair away from his desk and began pacing the room agitatedly. "But how, how to do it without getting nailed for fratricide."

He stalked the room for a few minutes, finally getting his emotions back under control. "I've got it." Scott marched out of the room and down the hallway. He paused, knocking on Gordon's door. He pasted on a smile as his brother opened the door.

"Hey, Scott. What's up?"

"Can I come in?" Gordon nodded and Scott stepped into the room. Gordon's room was neat and tidy as usual. A plaque holding his Olympic medal hung on one wall, and an enormous fish tank took up most of the other. Scott sat down in a chair. "I've been doing a little research on our Tryikalican friends. Are you aware they have their own website?"

Gordon squirmed uncomfortably. "Um, I had, ah, heard some rumors on that. John metioned it on the way home. So, it's true?"

Scott nodded. "Yeah, and there's some interesting stuff on it, too. What I'd like you to do is keep an eye on it for me. This group seems like a bunch of harmless kooks, but you never know. Check it regularly and let me or Dad know if there's ever anything posted that could be a potential problem."

Gordon raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You want me to watch these guys?"

"Yes," Scott replied, his expression serious. "If you're not up to it, I'll ask one of the others to handle it."

"Oh no, not at all. I'd be glad to do it. You're right; it's something we should keep an eye on."

"Good. Thanks, Gords, I knew I could count on you." Scott left the room, leaving Gordon with a look of glee on his face. Outside in the hallway, he chuckled to himself. "There, that ought to throw him off. At least until I can figure out a way to get back at him." Whistling cheerfully, Scott went back to his room.
