Classified Briefing: For Your Eyes Only

Subject: Katherine “Kitty” Katt

First Came to Our Attention: During “Touched by an Alien”, wherein she ruined extremely complex and long-planned operations

Abilities: Consummate accidental badass, some Kung Fu training, frightening ability to use whatever comes to hand as a weapon, thinks so far outside the box that we suspect she’s not aware that there IS a box

Known Associates:

--Jeff Martini, Alpha Centaurion, Commander of the Field for Centaurion Division;

--Christopher White, Alpha Centaurion, Commander of Imageering for Centaurion Division;

--Angela Katt, human, mother and well-trained and on-purpose badass, head of the P.T.C.U.;

--Solomon Katt, human, father and NASA cryptologist;

--James Reader, human, former top international fashion model, potential meta-human;

--Charles Reynolds, status classified and requires higher security clearance

Weaknesses: Romantically involved with Martini and emotionally attached to many at Centaurion Division, affections can and should be used and exploited; human with no alien defenses, so physical attacks are recommended -- she can’t stay lucky forever

Mission: Seek and destroy subject before another long-planned operation is derailed

Alien Tango excerpt:

“I want all the cell phone feeds altered to blurred images,” Christopher snapped. “Video and film footage altered to show native folk dancing and similar. Go for stock footage.”

The imageers handling the cell phones had it easy, as far as I could tell. The images on their monitors blurred until they looked like nothing so much as someone with serious palsy taking pictures of the inside of an enthusiastic squirrel.

I was interested to discover that the term ‘stock footage’ was used by the whole galaxy, at least those parts of it present on Earth. There were a wide variety of choices filtering through -- some I recognized from a couple of National Geographic specials, some I didn’t. But they all had a canned look of people performing their native dances for the cameras -- it was clear these shots weren’t Live at the Scene.

An A-C ran in from the Field side. “Commander White, Commander Martini says the C.I.A. on the scene are creating problems.”

“Like always,” Christopher growled. “What do they want?”

The A-C gulped. “They want to control these super-beings, not kill them.”

  58. Riz says:

    The series seems interesting, and I love that she 'doesn't know that there IS a box' it certainly has me intrigued :)

  59. Gini Koch says:

    Good luck to everyone! And, yeah, I have to agree w/all who think my covers rock. :-D

    Oh, and, just for the record -- Kitty is fair skinned and fair haired, and the only chicks on my covers are Kitty, ergo, if you see a chick in a white dress on the cover of "Alien in the Family" you are more than safe in assuming that you're looking at Kitty. (Dan Dos Santos uses different models for each cover. I don't know why. He doesn't tell me how to write and I don't tell him how to paint. LOL)

    And, lest you think I'm gonna say ONE MORE WORD about the dress, I point you to April 5, 2011 and say, "That's when 'Alien in the Family' comes out." ;-D

    Good luck again to everyone and enjoy the reading!

  60. ~ Babs ~ says:

    I have never read these, but the covers make them sound really good.

    Alien Tango was awesome, I cannot wait for Alien in the Family :)
