\"\"<\/a>Synopsis<\/strong>:
\nDoc Ford & Tomlinson are up in the middle of the night to watch the starts. Well, Doc is watching the stars, Tomlinson is looking for extra-terrestrial intelligence he believes is trying to make contact. Because they are awake, they witness an explosion that eventually kills the man involved. And with that the fight over netting takes a far more violent turn than it had.<\/p>\n

Wow.This went all kinds of places I was not expecting.<\/p>\n

If you have not been reading the series, this probably is not a good place to start, since you probably won’t get Tomlinson at all. Which makes the story a little harder to grok, since Ford’s friendship with Tomlinson is extremely important to the story.<\/p>\n
