Eger/Ezzy [Mars]: Red-Alien

Eger (humanoid visitor!) returns to Earth and goes on a diplomatic Weyland mission-to-Mars with his daughter and finds a 'human-world life' of distance(s).

One more sci-fi adventure, set in Mars/Earth, and a follow-up of sorts to another short-story on WritersCafe (Eger). Enjoy,

Eger returned to Earth to volunteer for the Weyland space-exploration company mission to Mars and adopted a daughter, an Crimean-refugee/immigrant named Ezzy. He posted photos of them on Facebook!

Once on Mars, Eger/Ezzy oversaw the land-cruisers supplied by Weyland to take terrain-data and photos for Earth-media broadcast(s) in the United States and United Kingdom as well as Northern Ireland and Ukraine. They also broadcast themselves as the first 'diplomatic' father-daughter duo on a Martian mission (Weyland) in human/world history. No one knew, of course, that Eger himself was a humanoid alien visitor who'd been playing this 'cosmonaut-crusader' role for his adopted human daughter Ezzy and for human-IQ/research on interplanetary travel(s).

EGER (Diary): While trekking around Mars on our hover-bootshoes, Ezzy and I discovered a giant alien-species egg-lair in cave!

The 'Red Alien' Eger/Ezzy encountered was a rather large-sized insect-dragon creature which Weyland named the Xenomorph for its adaptive ability to move like other species and use an invisibility cloak. This 'red-dragon' alien was intelligent, clawed, and possessed acidic/explosive saliva!

EGER (Diary): We've no choice now but to inform the Company we're to use my handy laser-canon to kill the red-alien (shot!).

Luring the Red 'Xenomorph' into a metal ditch in its own experiment-area of its egg-laying lair in the cave-system burrowed in the ground(s) of Mars, Eger shot the dragon of fury in the face and watched it fall apart before departing from the planet (safely!) with Ezzy his darling, never-ever looking back on this dark misadventure.

WEYLAND (Speech): Eger/Ezzy had not only become Martian humanity diplomats but true crusader-heroes; killing the alien!

Once back on Earth, Eger/Ezzy obtained 'celebrity' status and were invited to a Ridley Scott sci-fi horror-symposium at UCLA where they met a thespian-writer who wanted to cast their tale in a group explorer (Weyland Company) 'misadventure' about securing spirit(s) in times of dangerous alien engagements, and Eger thought the thespian-writer of remarkable prestige reminded him of a gorgeous actress he'd met in the American Southwest (Comic-Con) during his 1st-visit to the Blue Planet.

He obtained a research consultant position at Salk (California) where he began designing A.I. alien skeletal diagrams for the erection of special intelligence-conscious species reflective of his own (Weyland Company) engagement with a conscious being of nonhuman status, making Salk his sort of post-Weyland think-tank for creative media/study for the new era of broadcast/net science dialogue/marketing.

EGER (Diary): The diagrams for a stealth-invader A.I. alien intelligence 'robot' (Cyclonus) I've offered gives Salk an alien-IQ!

Eger died a happy-man as an Earth-citizen and his daughter (Ezzy) became a CalTech professor of sci-fi art(s), and he'd be remembered as an 'alien-engager' whose 'human-life' reflected his incredible 'misadventure' with that red-dragon alien on Mars who'd awakened him to the living dream of a life embracing drama, even though it was not a 'faerie-tale' lived on his own (home) planet!

EZZY: What I'll remember most about my father (Eger) was his 'broad-sense' of science-fiction passion and courage under fire.
