Laurel Canyon

A quartet of inquisitive 'sci-fi' interrogators stumble upon a Grand-Canyon discovery maybe yielding an 'infinity' for Earth-buyers.

A superstitious 'contact' fable, inspired (very loosely) by various storyboard 'concepts' from The X-Files (Fox-TV).

As the new unit of star-alien motion sign trackers for the government assembled secretly at a Western hospitality-institution (hotel) with WiFi minded interest for examinations concerning non-human intelligence diagramming, they couldn't have anticipated the level(s) of intrigue or complexity they were about to cross to invoke their Homeland sensibility of incomplete world-IQ for materialism-study (hmm).

AMLAN: I've tracked the alien 'specter' to the Grand-Canyon where I suspect its agenda.

EZZY: You're certain this 'goblin' creature with some electronic communique is friendly?

MARCUS: Yeah, and are we determining it's a Martian or some kind of cryptic humanoid?

SHELBYE: It may well be some Jersey-Devil type 'being' for general social-media chat(s).

AMLAN: Nah, I think it's the real-deal, and its Canyon-quest draws some laurel-chess IQ.

EZZY: Good for social media (bread).

The unit tracked this Red Goblin 'specter' which had been emitting scrambled electronic communication(s) messages detected by the quartet's Wingate WiFi station trackers/recorders/markers and darted them to seek some hon-human intelligence examination for intelligence or agenda, but not all the 'rangers' believed the goblin was of 'alien' (e.g., Martian) origin and wondered if it was simply something like an evolutionary-deviant cryptid with some 'accidental-access' to some half-broken electronic-age communications/signals device (perhaps Google-watch!) and chose the Grand Canyon (Arizona) for its texture-landscape of nooks and caverns/waters for an Earth-consciousness concerning 'incomplete-distances' to race-IQ/contact.

AMLAN: It's hiding/lurking down there, perhaps as the Devil seeking magic/tricks.

EZZY: Maybe it's using WiFi to draw 'fools' into its lair of wicked persuasion/tricks.

AMLAN: We've still to get there and track the signals it's sending, for contact/study.

EZZY: What if it really is the Devil (Satan) performing an Earth-canyon vanity-trick?

AMLAN: If it's a Martian, and not the Devil, or like Bigfoot, it's certainly Canyon-IQ.

EZZY: Oh, the superstition(s) behind environment-topology symbolism (for the Ego)!

AMLAN: Doubtless...let's go (and bring Marcus/Shelbye).

EZZY: Fantastic (for social media).

Contact is precisely what the quartet achieved, and the specter they confronted was a true abomination of the imagination, and they'd already named the creature Red-Goblin, perhaps for the unique signature of its scrambled pseudo-intelligible communications e-signals it'd been transmitting, which seemed to form some cryptic clue-language wording about 'crimson-peaks' to mysterious abyss imagery, and when the quartet encountered the 'goblin' in the Grand Canyon, hiding in a cavern and wielding fireballs, they had to confront the abominable man-like 'alien' for inquiry and examination(s). Would this be 'good' for social media/culture?

GOBLIN: Four 'heroes' for Earth greet, hmm.
TEAM: Are you an alien or some devilish messenger of Earth-superstitions, goblin?
GOBLIN: Me from not Earth but not heavens, warrant seek quest-for-God/IQ/image!
TEAM: You want us to write something about you, stranger?
GOBLIN: Beryl...Earth-minerals mining for high treasure IQ for your world mind.
TEAM: Why this special crystalline-colored rock/mineral/treasure for your message?
GOBLIN: Fortune, mining of value(s), Earth-check for my IQ for 'chess' with your God.
TEAM: Our God, stranger/goblin?
GOBLIN: I'm the Devil...and this is a 'test' for Earth-environment scrambles/eggs!
TEAM: What the hell are you saying?
GOBLIN: Beryl...for social media storyboard, for/by you, after exchange in Canyon (IQ).
TEAM: You want a 'laurel' presentation for diplomacy/examination (for beryl?) agenda.
GOBLIN: Test of faith, minerals/treasure hand, Earth-IQ, a warrant/wage for your God.
TEAM: Are you really the Devil, or like the Jersey-Devil, stranger/goblin?
GOBLIN: Both (maybe); I sweat worry, Earth-minerals (erosion); you neglect God-IQ?
TEAM: This must be some 'superstition-metaphysics' persuasion by the hand-of-aliens.

GOBLIN: What I am, no concern...seek laurel-canyon test (mettle) for mineral-bread.

TEAM: We're about to embark on a 'fantastic' journey (of the Western fear).
