~~YARNING FOR ANSWERS~~

  If I were you, I'd be hungry for answers about now. Hello, it's me Yarn and I have returned from my trip to Sudden Bluff with a few answers. Some I'll confess fight away, others I need to save for later. I need some 'me' time to work a few things out.

  I will explain how Thilillian Yangsley ended up on earth, stumbling through the trees, falling flat on her pretty face in Eliza's backyard. You see, Thil set off a firecracker back on Klesia Moon Prime just as Izzy's comet was lifting off. The smoke and noise allowed the girl to shimmy up Izzy's comet unseen.

  The brave yet occasionally stupid girl had precisely ten point three seconds to scramble up the back ladder and enter the comet through the secret escape hatch. How did she know about the secret hatch? Thil had access to anything she wanted since dear old papa Yangsley was head honcho at the lab.

  Yangsley has probably been tearing out his fake hair accessory, anxiously wondering why his daughter has not reported for duty on Footfall Freighter for her Goodwill Project.

  Oh, but wait. All of the Klesians have vanished. If things ever get back to normal around Klesia Moon Prime, Thil will have to face the music. It's a terrific crime to stow away on a space vehicle of any kind, especially a Goodwill Project expedition.

  Are we feeling sorry for Thil yet, or do we think she needs to be punished to the fullest extent of Universal Law? Do we think Paksha will be won over by the purple-eyed beauty, or will he press that 'send' button and call the cops?

  Forget being scared by the police or Homeland Security, Thilillian had better watch out for Eliza first. I hear she has a mean thumping finger and is not afraid to use it.
