The aliens - or natives, since it is their planets and technically the humans are the aliens - are in chapter 2. :) I'm going to try the alternating viewpoints every chapter and see how that works. I hope to write more this weekend. I have two annotated bibliographies and a 1000+ paper to write over the next couple of days first. :)

And hey - snark has it's place! That's not the whole sum of his personality!
