Oscar standing there asks Thraesh so what are we?" "You are trapped in a broken system and fools to think you are not" with the ice coldest of states as Oscar is frozen I. That knowledge

This is the splash page issue, expressions and detail

12 the heart of the matter

Now lounged out at high noon on the disturbed grass with the tablet in his outstretched arms Thraesh watches videos, Oscar stands on the other side of the yard "do I call you Mr?" With out moving "mo such formalities from Miron3 apply to me, I am simply Thraesh of Qwince, I respond to my name, and my name alone." Puzzled "what's Miron3?"  Here. Others have dubbed this solar system Miron for its resemblance to their own and we are on the 3rd planetoid." "Oooohhhhhhhhhhhh, so what are you doing here anyway?" Thraesh pauses his video and rolls over to his back and then sits up "I came to observe and learn. Lima has provided me hospitality and support, he will get my full report once it is complied." What are you learning?" "The wisdom, foolishness and intricacies of you societies." "You talk to serious for me to understand" "lima chimes in "he's watching us to see how we really are. Santa has a bag of gifts but doesn't have his naughty or nice list" "how do we get on the good list and what do we get?" "I dont know how to get on the list besides by not being bad, and what we get is a chance to play with the co ok last toys you can imagine" "I want my own spaceship and a robot dog called 'flea scratcher' "

11 the truth but not so much so

Roger looks out the window and asks his grandma "you gotta tell me everything grandma, what's it like having a alien under your pool? Have you always been cool with an alien in the backyard? What's Thraesh like? Why is dad so worried about him? What happened? Did he threaten him with his fangs and claws? Or was it his space ship? Wait where's his space ship now? Is it under the house?does everything g here transform into a part of the ship? Is grandpa's chair the command seat? I bet I can find a door to the ship in the basement? Why are we not in space? Wait are we going to space now that Thraesh is out from under the pool? I cant wait to tell the kids from school and my game about going to space? How can I tell anyone dad told me this is a family secret like I  the movies, one we dont tell people, but how come no one knows about this? Grandma is the government gonna find out? Are they gonna take us away and cut Thraesh up into little tiny peices? Wait are we gonna fight the government? Is the MEN IN BLACK who is gonna come get us? Are we working with the MEN I BLACK? I saw all the movies this year, aliens are cool. But a mini Kiaju is even cooler, did you know Kiaju means big monster? Grandma can I go outside now?

With a smile "yes you can, and you better help grandpa clean the mud out of my pool"

10 past present future all connect

With the back yard a mess they dump the charcoal into the whole the lizard made and he climbs in behind it for a warm nights sleep. The two say goodnight to Lima as his wife washes dishes and tells Oscar "see you tomm" as roger snape "not with that threat looming in the yard" his mother stops what she is doing "dispite your father I have kept you alive and I'll be damned if you grandson won't outlive us all"

The sun rises to a half built shed and roaring bbq and shovels placed around the yard. Lima know is on his neighbors door " hey Hal, ima try and make that movie again now with my grandsons help" "that moster movie with the animatronics, why dont you try CG, its easier" "naw I'm using it to teach the grandson hands on skill instead of adding another reason for him to play on the computer"

The sun rises a little more into the morning "roger runs around the kitchen as lima keeps busy and Theeash builds the shed. "I'll need power and then supplies from my ship" "no can do Area51 is a problem for me, it would raise eyes and questions" "threats deserve weaponry, challenges deserve attention, yet we deserve to be rewarded for our efforts" "you figure out how to make me richer and my family prosper and you can learn hide help conquer influence in peace with me here" "in your time of passing your progeny will not aid me" "Roger is snake bitten, no disrespect but that boy inside he's curious and with that we have a chance"

9 its it's not a hello without a welcome

Thraesh still standing climbs out of the pool onto the grass to drop dry. He looks at the sun and squats down with his back to it. "Lima I need food, my hibernation was extended and I tapped reserves." Lima walks inside "boys we are throwing a BBQ! Oscar get all the meat from the deep freezer. Roger I may need you to make a run to the store." Grandpa the old deer and bison meat! That stuff's old grandpa I dont want that." "For complaining you get grandmas leftovers and that not for you it's for my guest of honor" roger looks at his father with disappointment "he gets a bbq and I'm going to the store for what now?" Lima grabs his wallet "the biggest tablet you can find with extra damage protection, a sheed at least 15 by 15, and some bbq supplies meat charcoal sauce, you know the works. Oh and plenty to drink for the three of us!" 

With the sun getting closer to setting meat cooked the grandfather and father sitting in lounge chairs sharing beers roger runs up "grandpa that was so cool how Thrarsh eat those giant chunks of meat whole bones and all" the two men in unison respond "that's nothing" and look at each other the grandfather laughing and the father looking sad. The father "and that's why I told you what I told you I side the house" lima looks at roger "not this again, you are safe, dont be small minded" roger swings his beer "I saw what I saw and feel how I feel, you act like it's an imposibility" lima says "he said one joke and you paint him for life"

OSCAR shouts to Thraesh "what you doing?" He responds "fighting of lethargy, I've woken, eaten absorbed heat and desire rest. Yet this research is enthralling, you warmbloods have shifted immensely since I last engaged your history and culture. Your hair has gotten smaller and for some bigger"

8 promises and promises

Roger drags Oscar inside the house "son, listen no matter what grandpa tells you, do not get close to Tharsh. That is a direct order,  do not disobey it." Roger looking scared asks "what has he done?" Roger looks his son square in The eye "nothing thativeseen but the potential for something to happen to you is to high, icant live with out you. So do not get to close to him" understanding the love his father has for him "okdad, I won't let him hurt me"

Outside , lima leans over the pool as Thraesh circles the pool, it is larger enough for his large body and tail to swim around. "I was beginning to forget about you, I thought the time would never be right. How long do we have?" Bubbling the water Thraesh exhales and raises his head "that is a conversation for another time. Tell what has changed since my time away?"  With the only grin "I won't tell you I'll show you, we have a mobile connected data network with limitless access to historical and cultural archives. Like you told me the future was near and we will all be connected" thraesh opens his eyes "has it been bennificial?" Lima shakes his head "people have made money but most use it to waste time" thraesh stands "so I will go unnoticed now."  "Yes you will"

7 crocodile tears

With a deep breath the giant lizard belly flops into the pool and sinks to the bottom as the water gets muddy brown. Oscar gripping his dad "grandpa is it ok to be that close to him?" Lima looks back with a frown of disappointment "that is small minded thinking! This is my friend and a guest in my house, if I saw he's my friend that means he's family." Roger finished his father sentence "family can be dangerous, and 800lbs of muscle and teeth from another planet tends to raise suspicion! Why am I explaining this, Oscar let's go, grab your stuff from inside" like a whale a exhale shoots a spray of water upward as the mo ster floats to the top mostly sunk in the water his nostrils above the water. He inhales, and with the mud cleared from his eyes he peels back the internal eyelids. The milky white eyes move and his pupils shrink in the daylight and he focuses on Roger and lifts hi head out of the water "Lima, your progeny has survived and grown well, I feared for him as he was so terrified. Young Roger, what do I call you now?" Roger shouts "roger, just roger" Oscar looks up to his dad "you know him too, grandpa says he's ok and I dont want to judge cause he looks kinda cool you know like a people sized giant monster. But if you dont like him then he might be l I'll keep a bad guy right?" Lima smirks and asks roger "yes son tellem what king of person Thraesh is" after dunking back in the water after the last time he spoke the lizard rises up "roger update us on your evaluation of my presence please" roger looks his dad right in the eye "dont let the manners fool you, that is a threat to not just us but the whole world"

End credits then Thraesh turns to tell Lima "update me later, confirm this is of your brood and not a motherless hatchling inserted in your nest" lima laughs and tells the lizard "there is a test for that and a guy on tv who spends an hour telling people if they are or are not the father of the kid" (trash tv but entertainment)
