Commercial Break from Beyond

It took seeing I AM NUMBER FOUR to make me see that perhaps I should try to get back to my "public writing" 
Yes, it's been awhile. tonight I am going to finally watch DISTRICT 9. Talk about being behind on everything.

So what's next?

me trying to come up with a usable structure/outline to the Slipgate Exile. What I have is like Chapter 1 and 2 and 17. Now I will attempt to outline the story in hopes I can pull it into perspective (briefly)

Slipgate Exile the Outline
in 3-5 acts
Part I: Assimilation

Intro: Incoming Signal. How the Quantum Wave intersects Earth.

Chapter 1: Arrival. Mars and the other 2 Exiles introduced/translated into the middle of nowhere TN.

Chapter 2: Encounters
Mags introduced, 
Mars and the 3 Exiles meet a typical drunk redneck... the TDR (totally drunk redneck) then tries to kill them

Chapter 3: 3 nekkid men, a girl and her geo
What do you do with 3 nude men @ 3AM?
Go to Walmart... of course

Chapter 4: Going home
Mags takes the now mostly dressed men home to her place over her mother's house.
Things should go badly

Chapter 5: Homeless
Mags and co. end up evicted. Spend the night at the bus station

Chapter 6: Eggs and Breakfast Partings
Mars and the 2 exiles go their separate ways. Mars goes with Mags to her Dad's

Chapter 7: Only time will tell
Mars begins his assimilation. Tries to be human, get a job, get a place to live, deal with being human, tries to remember who he was before then.

Chapter 8: Mother's day
Mars remembers his mother in human terms and knows that whatever he was before coming here is irreversibly gone as is any hope of going back.

Chapter 9: Some things never change
Mags is having a bad day and Mars realizes that those back where he came from will not let "sleeping dogs lie." Danger is coming soon

Chapter 10: the trouble with letting sleeping dogs lie.
Mars ends up getting mixed up with Mags' problems and making them much, much worse

Chapter 11: All things come in 3s
Mags loses her job, loses her friends, loses her heart to an alien
Mars loses his job, loses his cool and loses the car (again)

Chapter 12: Who knows (haven't got that far yet)
