Tyler's mother was visited by some Unknowns posing as V's. They had peeled one of their fingers back to show her they were who they said they were. Then they showed her video of some clandestine anti-V cell-video and arrested him. She was taken to a V-ship however it was really not a V-ship but a ship in a region of space in a different sector then where the V's were.
"Put her in solitary confinement."
The cell was like an old medieval dungeon with bones of humans, a few V skeletons and an exoskeleton of a Cyborg. A small square light opened in the wall by the floor. A tube came into the opening. Suddenly she fell, immobilized. Her skin started to move like waves back and forth. [One.] While it did not hurt it had a horrible fascination. The skin started to peel off revealing the reptile beneath. [Two.] She screamed but could not hear her own voice. She picked at the little creatures that appeared to crawl from out beneath her skin.
A wall removed and a crowd of V's was watching her, like she was in a surgeon's auditorium or the watching of an execution. Anna appeared along with her daughter, who pointed and laughed. She tried to move but her skin grew tight and her humanity reformed itself. The V's left the wall reappeared and fire started then she woke up in a field, quite earth bound by a road. Crawling for she was weakened by the experience she figured she was kidnapped, injected with hallucinogens, mentally tortured and left here. All she could think of was Anna and he daughter laughing at her.
"Tyler?" She inquired by cell.
"Lisa? Where are you?"
"Your house."
"Your mother?"
"Flying above Ottawa."
"I'll call you later."
She simply stared at the road, wondering and started to walk. A man slowed down, asked her if she wanted a ride. She got in without thinking.
"You look dazed, what happened?"
"She could not tell him that.
"My car stalled, I left it back there."
"Well, I can take you to a hotel, I can give you money. Going to the convention, Anti-V rally. Could be dangerous, one of these pro-V people was caught boarding a bus with explosives and had posters of Anna and a copy of 'A History of the V's' with Anna's face on it. She said humanity was morally corrupt and needed to turn itself over to the V's for re-orienting to a better lifestyle and purpose for living. One should live for the V's, she said she'd die for the V's! That they are gods. [Three.] 'It takes all types 'as they say. I think they are just humans who took over NASA, went to space, came back after developing more Von Braun technology. [Four.] Hey, you look like your confused…are you going to be ok?"
She heard the part about V's and NASA and remembered her dream or hallucination or whatever that was.
"I am not a V!" She yelled a with an angry look on her face.
"Alright, hey look do you…there is a hotel there let me drop you off, here."
"I don't need it and I was not planning on going to where you were going. Thanks for the ride though…be a little more wary of who you let in your car. Make sure they don't have scales underneath…"
Right, oh right."
"By the way the Conventin is that way."
As he sped off, he used his cell:
"Hello, yes, she's going back. Do…want me to hit her, scare her off? Wait, can't see her. No, I changed my mind Mr. She's pretty sharp, if I missed it would not take much for her to track me down. Look I don't…."
There was the sound of a crash down the road, she looked but could not see anything. She went into the hotel. An old woman was at the desk cleaning. The younger woman asked if she wanted a room. She looked around.
"They're going down there, when they get full up they will be here in a day."
"Staying," she looked warily at a busboy and char woman on their break in the restaurant in the next room, "for just a day."
In her room she checked all the doors in back, drawers, then she went into the two rooms on either side whose occupants were not there, checking for bugs. Satisfied no one was watching her or listening nearby she fell fast asleep. Later she was awoken by a V-patrol ship. [Five.]
The V-patrol had started as Protesters had warned of 'Orwellian' Repercussions for letting V's freely roam the world. Now they were reaping the benefits of that decision. Yet they were not concerned with anti-American intruders. They were on the lookout for anti-V's. A shudder went through her body but too exhausted to move she lay still. The sound passed by like a stealth bomber, she hoped they were not looking through buildings or listening [Six.] so she kept quiet and lay still.
Pulling the drapes back there was a police car outside; she hurried out got on a bus headed for the protest. An old woman offered her some coffee, saying it was (the protests) like the 1960's all over again.
"Do you want some granola?"
The honey nuts and oats tasted good. She talked to protesters and most were college students who were concerned about a V-totalitarian state and older people with families who said they were losing America to space aliens. A few pulled out from bags or showed lifting clothing a variety of cameras and microphones and protest signs. One had a pair of infrared binoculars, he said he could see into V-ships and tell if they were going to 'incinerate mankind' They began to get close to their destination.
"NO V's! Go Back To Space."
"NO V's! Go Back To Space."
They began to chant. Someone held up a photo of Anna. A man burned it with a lighter then let it fly out the window, it landed on a car and flew off. A check point was up ahead. She saw a V in a car go by she had seen with Tyler. Suddenly the car sped up and tried to ram a bus overhead. A police car sped past, gave chase, the car blew up as it went off the road. Was it a mercenary V? or was it something else. She decided not to believe anyone was V or not until proved, this could be simply a V-sympathizer. Perhaps he wanted to be a V and was willing to give his life for the V-cause.
She got a room at another hotel and decided to stay there until she was sure she was not being pursued. She peeled back small part of skin by her large toe nail. There were no scales.
One. This is like the effect of hallucinogens where people see things crawl on their skin or their skin raises etc..
Two. That people are reptilian in fact you could go back to evolutionary ape-men for what 'we are underneath', I use quote marks not as a quote but for the idea of what we supposedly evolved from.
Three. That they are gods, many have thought humans are gods, like the ancient Pharoah's. And of course I am also referring to the series 'V'.
Four. Von Braun. The Nazi brought into the U.S. space program.
Five. TSCC episodes of patrolling flying ships overhead in the future war.
Six. One could do that today with infrared and surveillance equipment.
