size of a Two pound coin, that had been recovered from one of the few Non-Human victims, an
Aberdeen Angus Bull by the name of Dixon, A bead thing with a springy coil protruding from it, what
looked like a piece of fine copper wire, and there was the vial containing a jelly like substance that
had been found bridging two sections of a victims brain. The poor unfortunate had succumbed to
some form of mind control and had walked directly into the path of a large truck on a busy
motorway. He’d been killed outright. It was the Coroner who’d spotted the stuff. A pair of tweezers
and a scalpel had been included in the display for size comparison. The wire had also been
responsible for the death of an “Abductee”. All the items had one thing in common; they reacted to
a very narrow range of frequencies in the Gigahertz band. The wire in particular reacted violently to
microwave radiation. It was that response that had led to the death of Amy Wilkinson, a school girl
from Devises. The families Microwave Oven; unknown to them, had a slight leak from the poorly
fitted shielding in its door. As it was it wasn’t really dangerous, but the “wire” had been implanted in
her Cortex. She went to check on some rice pudding she’d been heating as a snack; when the wire
reacted. From what the surgeons discovered it had instantly heated up and had become mobile. It
had sped down the length of her spinal cord and literally cooked it from within. Thankfully Amy had
died instantly from the initial damage to her cortex. She hadn’t had time to feel pain or injury.
Closer Electron Microscope examination of the wire revealed it to be made of Microscopic sections
each with some kind of Nano-scale mechanics. And Pico scale electronics. Extremely sophisticated
and precise work.

“I understand our American and Russian Counterparts also have recovered
implants” he said to his aide Roberts.
“Yes and the Americans have also recovered a piece of what looks like the
Wand device some of the “Abductees” described being used by “them””
Roberts replied placing heavy emphasis on the last word. Douglas thought for a
moment then asked
“Could you put me in contact with that psychiatrist; what’s her name, ah yes, Dr Felicia Grantham.
The one that handled Mr Styles-Cunningham; I want to know if her granddaughter has found out
anything new?” Roberts left him to make the arrangements and Douglas used the
tweezers to pick up one of the cones. It looked so innocent at that moment. But earlier
its tendrils had been twitching when near to the Quartz alarm clock on his desk. He put
the clock next to the cone and set off the alarm. The devices tendrils twitched, violently
thrashing around, and the tip seemed to want to burrow itself into the desk. He
stopped the alarm and it went inert once more. He thumbed his chin in deep contemplation. He
reached for his intercom and pressed the talk button.
“Roberts; get me Ustinov on line two. Scramble the line!” he ordered and sat down at the desk with
a sadistic look on his face…

… There are constants that underlie the Universe. Entertainers at Children’s parties are one
of those constants; Clowns being another. Add the two and you have a meme that is consistent
throughout time; distance, culture, race, creed, colour and belief, and you can add to that list
species. Even the Alien succumbs to the meme. Marcia had hired one of Lars’ friends to do the job.
Mc Michaels was a Hinerian; and a clerk in a Law Firm during working hours. He’d made it his
pastime to use the Clown to entertain his friend’s kids to begin with. It had proved such a success he
now did it as a second job. “Bobbo the Magnificent” was a great hit and was currently relaxing with
the male adults in Lars’ study; a brandy in one hand and a synthetic Cigar in his mouth. He was
regaling them with the tale of his last “performance”.
“… And then the little horror puked all over the Lasha Arya Spaniel! Bright green it was; I tell you the
look on his mother’s face…” he was saying. Marcia walked in interrupting him mid flow “The rest of
the guests are leaving Lars; David wants you to help him say goodbyes etc.” she announced and
went over and sat with her older brother Lance “Thanks for coming bro’. I know you’ll be busy over
