                                        Steve and Brittany listened to Captain Orion describe Altair. Marriage had been banned about a century ago. All alien children were given over as wards of the state when they were seven years of age. They were put into schools according to the dictates of the mother.  After that, she would no longer know her offspring. Offspring that were not wanted or were deformed were drowned quietly and secretly by their mothers as soon as they were born.
                                        Brittany was horrified.

                                        "In school, during my youth," Captain Orion explained. My mother wanted  me to be a verbal information relayer and I was enrolled into the Interstellar  Communication Division. I know the languages of many different planets. "

                                        Brittany looked at the group of cold and impersonal aliens. She and Steve had to get out of there and get back to earth.

                                        Shortly thereafter, Steve figured out how to operate the flying Corvette. One  night Steve and Brittany climbed into the ice blue 2054 Anniversary Model, opened the hatch and launched the flying car into space. Luckily they had been orbiting only 100 miles above the earth.
                                              So, they flew to earth and landed in a cornfield in Nebraska, where they abandoned the Corvette. They walked to Omaha and took a Greyhound bus back to Hollywood. They never spoke of the 2054 ice blue Corvette or their trip to space in a UFO with very peculiar aliens... ever again.
