Chapter 6: Aaron meets more of Pol's staff and begins the work of writing campaign materials for him. Pol takes Aaron out to a private site where xxx? something is happening and tells him that this is what he is staking his campaign on. When Pol gets his first speech from Aaron he sends it back because it doesn't contain info on the pet project. Conflict between what Aaron sees as necessary to win and what Pol sees as his objective. Winning the election isn't as important as enlightening people on the issue. Chapter 7: Interlude. Aaron is sent away, or ahead of Pol to a location to do set-up and research before Pol gets there. In the course of doing research or in a bar or somewhere, Aaron is approached by a stranger who begins to challenge what Pol is all about. He drops hints of where Aaron could find the whole story if he looked. Aaron follows a lead and sits with the answer in his hands trying to decide what to do with the info. Chapter 8: This sets up a big confrontation between Aaron and Pol. Aaron starts challenging him on little things in his agenda that he thinks have a larger hidden agenda. He suggests alternates that Pol consistently rejects. Ultimately, Aaron threatens to leave and expose Pol for the Alien that he is. Chapter 9: Pol tries to get Aaron back in the fold. Aaron instists that he knows Pol's true nature and has known from the beginning. Pol suggests that he only knows part of the story, so Aaron challenges him to tell him the rest of the story. Aaron insists that he will expose him unless he can understand it all. Pol finally agrees to take him with him to his next contact. Chapter 10: Pol takes Aaron to a lonely place and conceals him. Then waits to be joined warning Aaron to stay hidden. When the other presence joins Pol, Aaron listens, then rises to take a picture on his cell phone. The presence discovers him and is angry. Finally snatches up both Aaron and Pol and takes them back to "base" with him. Aaron blacks out in the transition. Chapter 11: Aaron awakens hearing voices discussing what to do with him. Suggests that a lot of people disappear and he will just be one of them. Pol argues that its not necessary. No one would believe him. Aaron manages an escape which leads to different chambers in the base where he sees worlds in various stages of development. Finally Pol catches up with him and explains the greenhouse concept and how they consider themselves gardners, giving personality to the balls of energy. Too much revelation and not enough action, but we'll think of something. Chapter 12: Pol helps Aaron escape back to where they started. Aaron agrees not to blow Pol's cover as Pol has shown him what happened to Mad Aunt Hattie when she tried to reveal their secret. Once the mythology has taken hold, it is impossible to root out. Aaron is just an accidental witness to things that are much bigger than he is. Aaron quietly sticks with Pol and helps him get elected. He eventually retires as Pol does and is present when Pol returns to his base. Chapter 13: Aaron sits in the nursing home being interviewed for an oral history by a younger genealogist and tells the story of aliens that are growing the earth as if it were in a greenhouse. The interviewer chuckles about the story to himself. But Aaron reaches into a box and pulls out what looks like an ancient communications device. People have cellular implants now so that they can communicate effortlessly whenever they want. Aaron has kept his cell phone from his time with Pol and shows the interviewer the photos he took both of Pol and on the base. He hands the interviewer the phone and tells him to decide what to do with it. Well, we'll see how that changes when I actually start writing, but that should give me a sufficient outline to hang my story on. As I continue to think it out this month I will revisit and revise the outline. At the end of November we'll see if the finished work resembles the outline at all.
