What makes a good heroine?
"Kill Bill is fun but realistically one crazy chick isn't going to beat the Japanese Mafia."
Jeffery popped a beer as the rig rumbled over the lunar crater.
Abigail sighed, "It's a revenge story. You like John Wick don't you?"
"Yeah. But, he used guns and body armor. Uma is surrounded by ninjas and none of them have guns."
Jeffery taps on the prox-symmetry scanner, "Does that look like a person walking out there?"
Abigail puts on her interface headset and starts a click by click measurement of the object.
"She appears to be human and naked," Abigail pauses, "She just jumped toward us."

"Shields are on," Jeffery responds and arms the laser cannons.
The Moon freighter has stopped.
"How many weird events have we had?" Abigail sips her tea..
The naked lady lands in front of the freighter.
"Too many," Jeffery has the laser cannon locked on the naked lady,
"She has an Egyptian hairstyle and make-up," Abigail sends a video to the Lunar satellite.
The Egyptian-looking lady extends her arms in a welcoming gesture.
"I think she wants to parlay," Jeffery rubs his bald head.
"Or she wants to take our freighter," he yawns.

The phone rings, "Seriously?"
Abigail answers the phone. There is a lot of static.
"Hey. Iron Horse have you made contact with an ET?" the call is from the satellite.
Abigail and Jeffery look at each other.. .
Jeffery takes the phone, "We don't know if it's ET. It may be native."
"It might be from a nearby .." Jeffery cuts off his transmission.
The naked woman is standing beside him.
"Do you have clothes I could wear?"
Abigail hands her a jumpsuit, "Are you native to the Moon?"
"I was born on a bus in Thelma Louisiana," the naked lady vanishes.
The overalls lay on the steel decking.
"Oh, come on!" Abigail is upset there guest has vanished.
"Yup. We need a vacation," Jeffery chuckles and pops another beer.
"And we have another pyramid," Jeffery taps the screen video of the pyramid.
Abigail phones the satellite, "That's our fifth."
