"I've been thinking about how we can do this." Alexander said to Corda later. "Neither of us knows much about modern Earth tech. I think we should bring Johnathan and Oz in. Both of them know a lot and are very intelligent. Willow level intelligent."

"Cordelia's father is a businessman. Consequently, I have some knowledge on how to run a business. We can do more then just patent Alteran tech, we can produce it ourselves. That way we have control over it. We can't flood the market. We have to move carefully. We won't legally be able to start a business until we're officially eighteen, but that's only a few months away. We can use the time to get started. I can draw more money from the trust fund to use as seed money. Bringing in Johnathan and Oz is a good idea. We can make them equal partners."

"Then the next step will be to talk to them. Oz already knows Magic exists. I don't know how much Johnathan knows, but he's a childhood friend of Xander's. They drifted apart, but Johnathan knows, Xander's trustworthy. Hopefully it won't be too difficult."

"Then I'll get started on the money part and you go talk to them."

With a quick kiss for luck, Alexander headed out to find Johnathan, he would be the one that needed the most convincing, he thought.

"Hey, Jonno got a minute. I need to talk to you about something."

"Sure Xander, what's up?"

"Actually it's Alexander and that's part of what I want to talk to you about. How much do you know about what goes on after dark around here?"

"If you mean the weird stuff, I've noticed a few things."

"Good, that helps. Bottom line, vampires and demons exist, so does Magic. If you want proof, I can give it to you."

"That explains a few things actually. I kept trying to convince myself I was imagining things. So why do you want to talk about it?"

"Because of why I want you to call me Alexander. You want to go for a ride, Johnathan? There's something I want to show you."

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do."

"If this works out then you'll be very busy for a long time." The two drove to the hanger and parked.

"So why are we here?" Johnathan asked.

"Step over here." Alexander motioned Johnathan to follow him. Rings rose up and surrounded them and then they were in the hanger.

"What was that?!" Johnathan exclaimed.

"Short range transport system. Activated by a genetic key. One Cordelia and I both possess. Only her name is actually Corda. Were you in Sunnydale last Halloween?"

"Yeah, that's when I first started noticing weird things. I turned into a Jedi. I could use the Force that night, then I couldn't anymore."

"That's where the Magic comes in. Halloween was some idiots idea of a joke. If you bought a costume from him, you turned into that costume for awhile. Only it didn't work that way for me and Corda. You're Jewish, like Willow, do you believe in the soul? In reincarnation?"

"Yes. To both."

"I am an earlier incarnation of the soul of Alexander Harris. I was human, but I was also an alien. What you see around you, is Alteran technology. Alterans evolved in another galaxy and came to this galaxy more then 50 million years ago, then went to another galaxy. Corda and I lived in that galaxy. We were Alterans. Our lifetime of knowledge blended with the current incarceration of the soul on Halloween. Now we remember both lifetimes. And we're trying to survive in this world."

"Okay, I think I believe what you're saying. All of this is pretty convincing, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Bear with me, there's a little bit more. At some point, our people came back to Earth. They were on the verge of an evolutionary leap, toward becoming pure living energy. Not all of them did though. Some of them, interbred with the humans of Earth. Cordelia Chase and Alexander Harris are descended from two of those unions. Alteran tech uses a genetic key to activate and use. We both have that key. Since we're trying to survive in this life, this world, we want to patent and produce some Alteran tech. We want you to help us. You might actually be able to understand the technology more then we could. We're soldiers. We know enough to help with repairs and basic maintenance, but not alot more then that. So we want to bring you and Daniel Osbourne in. The four us would create a business, you and Oz, reverse engineer the tech, we patent it and then we manufacture and sell it. Carefully, so we don't call attention to ourselves. The government finds out about this and they might claim it for themselves."

"Holy God, that's like a dream come true! Yes, I want in! What about the ship? What are you doing about it?"

"We're going to fix the ship, you never know when it might come in handy. It suffered hull damage, but our check of the systems, found everything else is working. I was the Captain of a warship. Corda was my first officer and wife. This ship is alot smaller, but still a battle ship."

"I'm in! I can't wait to get started. What do I start with?"

"Reverse engineering a pulse pistol. They'll be very useful against the night life in Sunnydale. Which is bad because the Mayor deliberately created a dimensional tear that attracts them."

"Okay, I'm thinking there's a story there too."

"There is and we'll be sure to tell you about it."

Oz was even easier to convince. Once he saw the ship, all he said was, "Cool, when do we get started?"
