didn’t need to be accosted by salesmen, females desiring marriage, or other peddlers of various offers. So far no one had questioned him or his identity and he didn’t expect that they would. The company he supposedly represented, was one ran by his people anyway. They had investments and interests everywhere. That gave them eyes out in the galaxy so they could find out what others were doing. That allowed them to protect themselves if war or other dangers lurked nearby.
    Earth was their biggest danger since they had nothing to lose and were looking for a new planet to mismanage. It would not be his, they had defenses in place to discourage any attempts to take them over. He got ready for the first session, he intended to learn everything he could. Food would be provided in the room just before the lectures began.
    When Norvir arrived, he saw the room was nearly full. The breakfast was a simple selection of fruits, cereals, milk, juice, and nutrition bars. He filled a plate and sat down with a recorder to ensure he missed nothing. When Dr. Dumont walked in, he was shocked to see the man that had accompanied the striking female the previous night. That’s when it hit him, he knew where he had seen her likeness before. She was Dr. Nathalie Goodrich. By the gods the female was even more attractive in person.
    Dr. Dumont started his lecture. Norvir had to admit, the man was a good lecturer. His material was interesting and he threw in a joke or two. If anyone’s attention lapsed, he called them on it, asking a question or drawing attention to them in some other way. For some reason, his interest seemed to be drawn to Norvir and he would almost believe he knew who he truly was, but how? It was a relief, in a way, when the session was done and he could move away from Dumont’s stare.
    Once the meeting broke up, it was lunch time. They had a two hour break to eat or kill the time however they desired. Norvir was lucky. He found the equivalent of a five star restaurant that just served food. It had a large menu and while the servers were attractive, they didn’t push any services on the side. Novir ordered a steak meal, and Italian spaghetti. He was hungry and Daig ate a lot. Even when the demon didn’t come out to play, he spiked Norvir’s appetite. There was no surprise when he saw his targets come in the restaurant. The two women were alone and intent on eating before their lectures. Nathalie’s eyes fell on him then she looked away quickly. Heloise Sherman, a renowned biologist, but not a doctor because she only had a double masters in biology and of all things, physics, stared at him openly.
    It was his turn to look away, his cheeks flushed. The sexual invitation she sent his way was unmistakable. They sat down a few tables over and he unashamedly listened in. “Nat, You got another one’s interest. How about leaving some for me?” Heloise asked.
    “I have no such thing.” Nat protested.
    “The next one that comes along, don’t make eye contact and I’ll take him. Ooh, here comes another handsome one.”
    “Whatever.”
    Norvir looked up to see Morelan approaching him. They had planned to meet for lunch. “A lovely female is staring at me. What should I do?” Morelan asked.
    “Smile at her, she is looking for a male for the night.”
    “Just the night?” Morelan asked disappointed.
    “You won’t be sure until you talk to her.”
    “Talk to her?” Morelan said his face going pale.
    “What did you intend to do with her?”
    “I truly never thought that far ahead.”
    “Invite her home with us. She is one of the environmental specialists I am hoping to recruit.”
    “I will do it for our people.”
    Norvir chuckled. “Whatever it takes to give you strength.”
    “By the gods, I smiled at her and she is coming over here. Help me Norvir.”
    She came over to stand at their table. “Would you and your friend care to join us? Novir asked politely.
    “Thank you for the invitation.” She waved at Nat
