SCI-FI
Mr. Jonson and myself created a science-fiction television series and took it to Hollywood to drum up some interest.
It was never picked up but it was registered with the Writers Guild of America (a standard practice when marketing
scripts to the industry), No. 153822, Nov. 18, 1974. Since then, the project has lain dormant in my garage but I have
recently decided to dust it off and attempt to re-purpose it as a series of novels, short stories, and manuals.
Having lost contact with the participants in the earlier creative endeavor, either Terry Martin or myself would welcome
contact from the people who helped: William Jonson II, Stewart Bainbridge, Steve Bruflat, Marc DeCelle, or
any of the Muses at the former Wild Blue Condor project. Who knows, the Teran and the Uatera may yet see flight!

on the planet, then they suspect some strange gas in the mines.
Zik uncovers the truth: an alien being that had been trapped in the mine for years, that

to make contact with the aliens.
