And now for a very special message from Gimmick Commander Ben Faltinowski . . .
?♂️ MR. BEN: “Hello Earthnaut fans! My family and I hope you are enjoying the ongoing story about ten little “friends from out of town” shall we say! To make a long story short, we’re moving from our lovely home in Colorado for a new home in Arizona, just east of Phoenix.”
👽 DR. UNION (standing right by Mr. Ben’s right thumb): “Yes, and we are coming too! We have analyzed the area where Mr. Ben, Miss Jessica, and their offspring will live and have found it to be suitable for them as well as I and my Earthnaut friends and colleagues from the great Planet Engedi!”
👽 MISS JESSICA: “My husband will be working with the Space Program once again and pursuing his Systems Engineering Masters Degree. Our friendly little Earthnaut tenants have inspired him to get advanced degrees for this effort, and it was Earthnauts Union and Oceana that inspired me to get my Masters Degree too (in Nursing)!”
👽 GRAND ELDER (very tall Earthnaut in the black hoodie): “As for the rest of us, we will continue to log and document our major findings, discoveries, and observations of Earth science and it’s peoples’ various cultures to report back to Planet Engedi and to inspire Humans to take a greater interest and concern in their own world!”
👽 ORACLE MEDALLION (Earthnaut on the very far lower left in dark blue): “And we will ensure that Earth remains safe as possible in advance of the Great Imm Leader returning to His Throne World (Earth) and undoing the chaos that the Ahhn Lord lured humanity into letting in.”
?♂️ MR. BEN: “So without further delay, the Great Galactic Space Gimmick presents Book Two of Engedian Journals . . . The Earthnaut Colony!”
THE EARTHNAUT COLONY – EARTHNAUT JOURNALS BOOK 2
Flagstaff, AZ. December 31, 2018 . . . New Years Eve . . .
👽🛸 CAPTAIN ECHO: “Always good to be back in the Command Pilot seat of my Star Saucer, the IFS Thunder! Just look at the view, Grand Elder!”
👽🛸 GRAND ELDER NOMAD: “The views are spectacular! Arizona has shown that many of the same geographical features that Arizona had also exist here. It is not all desert-like as it is where our Engedian Colony will reside!”
👽🛸 LADY TIA: “I see that, my Husband! There are many new opportunities to see locations of great importance to humans. In almost 2 years of our Earth presence, we see a greater need to expand our research and exploration!”
👽🛸 PROFESSOR LAGRANGE: “No doubt, Lady Tia. Our Planet Engedi knows that Earth has a pivotal role in the future of the Universe, and besides knowing about science and culture, we have come to some amazing and powerful conclusions about the bioengineer of our race . . . the Great Imm Leader!“
👽🛸 DR. UNION: “Yes, the Great Imm Leader’s importance to Earth cannot be overstated! As the elected Elder of Sol, it’s my duty to ensure that our Colony performs these functions well and that we can make peaceful contact with trustworthy humans.”
👽🛸 OCEANA: “You will do well, my treasured Boyfriend! I want to learn more about these cacti and succulent plants in the Sun Valley area around Phoenix!”
👽🛸 CORPORAL ELI: “Shortly, our well-loved Star Saucer will have a powerful companion . . . the IFS Noble! She is being atomic-clone-forged in the nearby Superstition Mountains east of our habitation at Mr. Ben’s house!”
👽🛸 AGENT SNEAK: “Along with your ongoing Ph.D. work, this ‘Project Phoenix’ that Union has you aiding him on is astounding! Bringing destroyed ships back through atomic clone forging! And some human ideas came into play!”
👽🛸 CHANCE: “Eli wrote a fascinating whitepaper about 5D printing, namely cloning the materials, like metal, and then printing the structure of the craft! I’m looking forward to seeing Union’s presentation on Project Phoenix.”
👽🛸 ORACLE MEDALLION: “I am amazed how the deserts of Arizona can be so barren yet lush and beautiful! Only the power of the Great Imm Leader could do this! Besides the holiday celebrating the Imm Leader’s human-like birth, I know there are some others coming up that will explain more. I might want to visit this place called “Grove” that Mr. Ben visits once a week pretty soon . . . “
👽🛸 CAPTAIN ECHO: “We are arriving in the Sun Valley area East of Phoenix. We are closing in on the arranged pick-up site near Superstition Mountain shortly.”
👽🛸 GRAND ELDER NOMAD: “Commence approach sequence when you’re ready Echo! Once we’ve landed, you and the others go to Mr. Ben’s car while Lady Tia and I take the IFS Thunder to Superstition Mountain for the night. We will monitor the forging drone’s progress on building the new IFS Noble!”
👽🛸 CAPTAIN ECHO: “Sounds good! And then I will take you for a detailed tour of the Solar System’s planetoids, including full planets, dwarf planets, and moons! This is once we know the IFS Noble is ready for trial runs. I’ll talk to Union and Eli about this shortly . . . “
4:30 PM. East of Phoenix near Superstition Mountain . . .
?♂️ MR. BEN: “Hey guys! Glad you got here! Miss Jessica and the kids have settled into the Safe House while we look for a new one.”
👽 OCEANA (in the pink coat and blue hat): “Will this be your FIFTH house, Mr. Ben?”
?♂️ MR. BEN: “Yes it is. And our FIFTH state too. I’m tired of moving, but if it took this many moves to make it to a place like this, then it’s all worth it. I love this state!”
👽 CAPTAIN ECHO (third from the right): “We can see that you do. I hope your family loves it here too! The Grand Elder and Lady Tia are taking our saucer IFS Thunder to Superstition Mountain behind us to monitor the progress of the new saucer IFS Noble at the hidden build area there. They will join us soon!”
👽 DR. UNION (third Earthnaut from the right): “Grand Elder, this is the Earthnaut Team. Our New Colony Has Landed!” 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽 🏜🌵🌴
For the Great Galactic Space Gimmick, we’re the Earthnauts Echo, Eli, Sneak, Oceana, and Union (with some help from Gimmick Commander, Mr. Ben of course)!
