you’re asking of me is a big decision and I’m not sure how to
react. Can you wait a day or two for my decision?”
Amelia, who was looking like death warmed
over, weakly said, “I can wait as long as it’s a day or two, but
any longer and I may die before you tell me. Thank you for thinking
about it, I appreciate it.”
Susan went home and thought about the pros and cons
of taking Amelia’s place. The biggest con was the fact that Susan
was a Terran. The Terran authorities made no bones about the fact
that they wanted the humans to develop technologically faster on
their own without Terran help, but, each time there was a change in
power, the official line about Earth changed. Right now, the
powers-that-be on Terra really had no use for Earth, didn’t care
about humanity, and wanted any situation with Terrans interfering
to go away. But, political winds change all the time, so that
seemed to Susan a risk she could probably take. The pros outweighed
the cons, in Susan’s eyes. She could become the first white woman
pilot to circumnavigate the globe, as Amelia, she would be famous
and known throughout history, and showing men what women could do
was also a pro. Susan went back to Amelia and told her that she
would take Amelia’s place. Amelia was pleased with the answer and
died two days later from complications from pneumonia. Susan waited
a year or two, moved to the United States, and began her
adventure.
A few years later, Amelia became the first
woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and did so right after
Lindbergh, because there were influential people who were pushing
for a woman to do the same flight. While she was flying across the
Atlantic, the Terran authorities sent a team of investigators to
her house in California to see if she was a Terran or just a human
after all. If she was a Terran, they didn’t want to make her
disappear and return to Terra at the moment, since Amelia had such
a high profile; the authorities thought she ought to enjoy her
fifteen minutes of fame before they came down hard on her. Once
inside her house, after searching for what seemed like hours, the
investigators end up finding a mysterious looking box that didn’t
seem like it was of earthly origin. It was picked open and what
they discovered shocked them to some degree; they found a laptop
computer, a mini music player, Terran identification papers, and
some newspaper clippings from 1918 about the Spanish flu outbreak.
The head investigator turned on and accessed the laptop, which had
no security password enabled, and discovered Susan’s digital diary.
The woman who was now known as Amelia Earhart came to Earth shortly
before the death of the aviatrix, each discovered both women had an
interest in flying these new aircraft and they became friends.
Apparently, Susan, who was now Amelia, was asked by a dying Amelia
to carry on her goal of flying and showing women around the world
what they could do if they put their minds to it. Susan, according
to her laptop entries, was reluctant at first because she didn’t
want to attract the attention of the Terran authorities and get
into major trouble for interfering in human affairs. After much
thought about it, weighing the pros and cons, Susan decided the
pros outweighed the cons and decided to become Amelia Earhart after
the original died. From there, the fake Amelia made it her goal to
become a well-known woman flier. Once the investigators contacted
Terran authorities through the Mars Communications station about
what they discovered, the Terran authorities decided to leave this
Susan character on Earth for another ten years and see what she
does to interfere with human affairs, if she does so at all. The
Terrans watched as Amelia became the spokesperson for all sorts of
products, from clothing to cigarettes to luggage and writing her
own book, published by G.P. Putman, who helped enhance Amelia’s
public image.
