8:00 a.m.
Even on Thanksgiving, a couple of coffee shops and bakeries open their doors. You place a really big breakfast order for everybody in the building. There's no reason you should all face an alien incursion on an empty stomach, after all.
10:01 a.m.
You have returned to your office. Looking up from your laptop, you see that a part of your glass wall has fogged over, as though someone has breathed on it. Written within that fog are the words:
"I am coming. Be ready. AK"
Anaru Katariki is coming? You absolutely plan to be ready for him.
10:30 a.m.
You rejoin your team on the roof for an eleventh-hour briefing.
"Presuming our information is correct, a portal will open on this rooftop in exactly 61 minutes. On the other side of that portal is another world, a few billion miles from this one. On that world there are currently thousands, if not millions, of extraterrestrial beings that want to travel to this world and use our bodies to respawn more of their own kind."
None of this surprises your team, of course. Regardless, they look uneasy as the facts are laid bare before them once more.
It's time to firmly decide your strategy for when the portal opens.
