Things had gotten back to normal. Well, as usual as they could be with a giant alien spacecraft sitting in their backyard. The mall was busier than it had ever been. Chuck, the realtor, had told them that he had rented out or sold more houses and apartments in these few days than in his whole career, seeing as he took over his family business straight out of high school that was saying something.

There wasn’t much to do for security here now that the military had set up small substations all over town. Crime had dropped to an all-time low.
