The Other — James Howell

Sara Angleton is an alien whose name was originally Collector 284. She is not from another country. She is from a Heradon-Class Science Space Ship originating from a Consortium of Planets who came to Earth one hundred years ago. She was medically camouflaged to be a human female in order to conduct peaceful scientific studies of the life forms on Earth. A large portion of her mission was to be unobtrusive and unknown to the indigenous population. Susan Angleton is an android. Her original name was Othethan 1930. She was the main computer interface and primary controller of the Heradon-Class space ship that had brought them to this solar system. Because their ship sustained heavy damage in a military altercation and subsequent malfunctions, she was forced to abandon the ship. The Continuum protocols called for her to be camouflaged as an indigenous being in order to hide with Sara Angleton. This is their story.
