Qrie, Mad Mac and the Mer

The Qrie have been here forever. They have guarded us, shielded us, and protected us from the beginning. They know they are going to be, discovered and must do it on their terms. Breath, the hybrid child of humanity and the extraterrestrial Qrie, knows there's nothing weird about her. The Qrie voices in her head have taught her, advised her, comforted her, guided her to academic success, and a promising career in oceanography. They have taught the young Australian woman how to be Qrie, wise, kind, and rationally compassionate. As the Qrie initiate diplomatic ties with humanity, she comes under attack by the misguided Earth Only movement.
