In another time, in another space…

The year is 198X.

(John is a human who was abducted by aliens while stargazing at a cliff near his home in Eagleland. Under the command of a gieeg named Giegue, the aliens abducted a number of Earth's inhabitants, both human and animal, for the purpose of conducting experiments. After the test subjects had served their purpose, they were offered to be sent back home under the condition that their memories of their experiences onboard the alien's ship would be wiped. However, John chose to stay on the mothership, citing that he felt that he never truly fit in on Earth, as well as his fascination with everything relating to space as his main reasons for doing so. Intrigued by John, Giegue oversaw further experiments in which John learned how to channel a mysterious power called PSI. Over time, the two had grown fond of one another, and John was eventually promoted from "test subject" to the commander's "personal bodyguard." The mothership is currently stationed near Venus.)

John and Giegue lay on the sofa in the commander's quarters, watching an anime that had been procured from Earth on John's recommendation.

"This style of animation… I've never seen something quite like it." Giegue commented. "Tell me, has human society become technologically advanced to the point where the development of these "mobile suits" could feasibly be achieved?" she inquired.

"Well, no… or at least if anyone on Earth has been building giant robots, they've kept it under wraps. Why do you ask, commander?" John replied.

"I was simply curious." Giegue answered nonchalantly. "Thank you for sharing this show with me. It's… nice to be able to unwind like this in my spare time."

"That reminds me, Giegue. What DO you usually do in your spare time?" John asked.

"Well, sometimes I meditate… other times I read. Nonfiction, usually." Giegue said sheepishly.

"Sounds like you could use more hobbies, commander." John teased with a grin on his face. "Are you into festivals at all? I overheard some mooks earlier talking about a "Bowfest '8X" that's being held in a couple of months on Saturn."

"Saturn months or Earth months?" Giegue asked.

"Uh, Saturn months, I think?" John tried to clarify. "I'm not sure how exciting a festival about bows could be, but it's worth a try, right?"

"I don't have to read your mind to be able to tell that you just want to see Saturn." Giegue replied with a smile. She found the human's enthusiasm about seeing other parts of space endearing. "I suppose it is worth a try, as you say. And you should be able to survive Saturn's atmosphere with the slight modifications that were made to your body…"

John's eyes widened. "Wait, what about modifications? Ooh, am I going to start growing tentacles? Or a tail? Or get a cool new cyborg body?" he asked excitedly.

Giegue laughed. "Don't you remember? Some minor changes to your body had to be made so that you could safely channel your PSI." she reminded John. "I don't foresee you undergoing any sudden mutations. Although, that does mean that you are technically no longer purely human, if only by a small percentage."

"Oh, that. Well, that just makes me that much more cool." John mused. "Say, do they sell extraterrestrial body mods for credits anywhere?" he asked completely seriously.

"Not that I know of. Besides… I think you're perfect just the way you are." Giegue responded sincerely.

"Aw, babe…" John's face flushed red. "I'm nowhere near as perfect as YOU are."

"Al-alright. I order you to cease your flattery." Giegue felt her own cheeks begin to flush. She pulled John into her arms and pulled a blanket over to the sofa with telekinesis. It wasn't long before John fell asleep in her embrace, and it wasn't much longer after that when she followed him into slumber.
