It's been 3 years since that space craft landed into the small city of Brookridge wiping out some of the population. Most people now tend to ignore them, we stay separate from the people who came off that vessel. Of course there are many outbreaks, protesters, fighters, death.  Even though we now share some of the land with these people, they don't bother us, and I stay out of that area of town as its for the better. Theres an unspoken law that we stay clear of them, but that law is now starting to sway anyways. 

It's the anniversary of that fateful day that we learned and confirmed that were not alone in the galaxy anymore. We honor the fallen as we view the crash area. This special day not only marks the fallen but I will be meeting one of my closest PenPals for the first time as they come to view the sight. Something strange has started when the lights blacked out. Some sort of virus, people start to panic as blame is being thrown around and the government stays dark.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat.
