Years ago, while visiting my parents, I was up late watching movies. This night, I chose the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still." It got to a scene when the President's secretary came to talk to Klaatu. Through the dialog, we see that time has passed and this is one of many meetings with the alien. While I watched, my mind couldn't help but make an observation of how important a meeting like this would be. Who would be the person assigned to this type of work? How would they decide what to ask? As all these thoughts popped in and out of my head that night, I began forming the skeleton of the story.
