Earth, 2055. In a world still without the knowledge of extraterrestrial life, Overseeing Base B, more commonly known as the Chester Institute of Space Research, holds the only evidence of the existence of aliens. The proof? The hundreds of aliens who are employed there, and the other Overseeing Bases situated on nearby planets. When Erin Ipswich, granddaughter of one of the Leaders at Base B, arrives to stay with her grandfather, the knowledge of aliens is inadvertently revealed to her. So, she does what any curious teenager would do - she gets herself a job there. But something dark is happening in the Base. A respected member of the Base, and alien, is killed in suspicious circumstances, and after that the bodies keep piling up. No one knows who will be next. Those who do not know the killer's identity are frightened; those who suspect it are even more so. And with the threat of an asteroid about to crash into one of the nearby planets, danger appears around every single turn. So, I've been writing various drafts of this novel for five years, and I have been working on this particular draft ('version four') since April 2016. In October 2017, soon after completing parts one and two of three, I ceased proper work on it. Even though I have spent so long on it, and still have an appreciation for the plot and characters, I don't really like it all that much. It certainly will never be published, as I once dreamed it would be. But 53,000 words is a lot to waste, so I have decided to upload it here. If it gets lots of reviews, I may even continue writing it properly. I'll probably upload a chapter a week. I have twenty-one finished ones. Please enjoy!

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
