That's very true about Johnny and Phi. They don't like to rock the boat (that's Ripp's job). But they do have a lot to talk about, and it could get very serious.

Yes, Buzz has been replaced by his successor, General Leong, who was seen briefly in Chapter 19. A large portion of the military is currently devoted to the task of dealing with the alien situation, and they continue to work with Buzz gone.

The aliens do not have a proper name for their race and their planet will never be mentioned in the story. I did say this before, but I can understand if you missed it. I just feel really silly inventing a name for them. I'm not a science fiction writer. Some people can do this and pull it off (very few, in my opinion), but I cringe at the thought of doing such things myself. I think it works well enough for my purposes if I just call them aliens, and that's what I will continue to do.

Well, that's nice to hear. Since I'm (finally) off all day tomorrow, I should make some progress on the next part. As for now... I need some sleep.
