#ethan pursche

-- Prologue?

- Introducing the audience to Alex, his life (try to make this as mundane and relatable as possible)

- The Paragon crashes down in its small form (box, sphere, just has to fit in a pocket), Alex finds it. How does he deal with it from the night he finds it, who does he tell, how does he deal with his father, and when does the Paragon awaken and what do they discuss? (And then again how does he deal with this)

-- There should be chapters from/for the Tabaan, just as Star Wars has scenes for the Empire. - The Tabaan should learn rather quick that something much more than a meteor crashed down, and as there are often following "real" ET reports there come next encounters with the MIB, ergo, and not giving Alex time to breathe, the MIB should show up. -- This is when Alex and the Paragon should become one to fight the MIB, thus confirming for the Tabaan that the Paragons are back, and for Alex confirming that his life and the lives of those around him are now in danger. How does Alex (attempt to) secure his father's life?

- Alex sets out to get answers (though just simply running through vast amounts of UFO and alien encounters would definitely show some cigar-shaped UFOs that the Tabaan were known for), some distance. This time alone could be a good time for some introspection, that he really did throw himself into a whole ocean of danger all because a wild fantasy came to life. This period is when he should encounter the Pursches, but immediately after leaving his small desert town? I don't think they'd be so far south. Perhaps he would find an excuse to go north?

- Pursches found (maybe a fun-dumb little superpowered tussle as this genre is opt to have), he reluctantly reveals what he knows and what has happened to him. The Pursches...take him back to their place? They'd most likely have fantastic anti-surveillance set up, ergo they are much safer there. Maybe Ed (Alex's father) could be kept here? However, the Tabaan wouldn't be truly frightening if they couldn't eventually destroy this safespace. Abigale and Nathan are of course involved, brought into the fold. As well, we learn of what the Pursches and co. did some three years ago within their home city, and perhaps there is some tensions between Abigale and Eva? Anyway, is this where the history of the Tabaan is told in full? Like, previous chapter, their name is dropped to Alex, but we fully go into it with the crew as an audience?

--- Events happen between these here and Blasphomet, especially moments where they clash and bond. And we have to encounter the Dog-Men of Michigan (though maybe not specifically Michigan) and Dog-Thing ("Retarded Dog").

- Blasphomet happens after the team, travelling, comes to a small forest town and Alex  inadvertently stumbles upon a girl running through the woods escapes cloaked men. He finds her friend after what has happened to her, rounds up the cult, takes them and the girl to the police (the other girl is there, too). This would bring up an uncomfy conversation about how doing good may not be the best thing to do if it risks exposure, but what Alex did was absolutely the right thing to do. Then the Tabaan find out and decide to punish Alex for being a hero and transforming the cult leader into Blasphomet and his cult into monsters (maybe he also has a biological weapon with him, too?). The fight is grueling, everyone jumping back and forth putting out literal and figurative fires, they're working with emergency responders and civilians to take the town back, Alex maybe even gets stabbed by Blasphomet's stupid trident, but in the end the team save the town, the day, and Alex gets the two girls and their families to leave, find someplace secure for the time being. He also gives the brutalized child (who'd been held up in the hospital) knowledge of the Paragons and what awaits the future to give her a greater sense of hope and recovery.

------ Somewhen there needs to be a big fight with the final Old Model of the Men in Black. Has the Paragon been re-purposing tech recovered from their bodies? Has he had the chance?

------ Vegkan shows up, fights Alex and just about beats him? ------ Round 2, Alex beats Vegkan. ------ Mars???
