makes no sense!”
    “Fred, just trust me, ok?”
    All Noonan could do was nod his head and sit
there and wait for the airplane to stop moving. Once the aircraft
was safely inside the Terran cargo hold, Amelia killed the engine,
she and Noonan got out of the aircraft, and waited for whoever was
set to come out and arrest her. What appeared to be an officer and
two guards walked into the hold and the officer said to her, “Susan
Transavera, you are charged with interfering in human affairs and
for impersonating a human, even though that human had requested for
you to take her place. We are taking you back to Terra, where you
will not be allowed to leave the planet. This aircraft will be
taken apart and parts of it will be scattered on the island below
us, so that it will appear you crashed and died. Since you involved
a human who had no knowledge of who you actually were, he will have
to come to Terra too and live, albeit for a much shorter span of
time. We’re sorry, Mr. Noonan for involving you in this, but we
follow a non-interference policy when it comes to humanity. You
must be a bit shocked by all of this, but it can’t be helped.”
    “You bet I’m shocked, but at least you look
human enough. This is really crazy; Amelia’s an alien, who knew?
This feels like something out of the Amazing
Stories magazine I recently read. Am I supposed to ask you
to take me to your leader?” the officer shook his head no, “Ok,
well, lead the way to wherever you’re gonna take me.” The officer
and his guards took the two and led them off for processing by the
Terran authorities.
    The ships’ crew scattered pieces of the Lockheed 10E Electra all over Howland Island and
then the ship flew off towards Terra. The United States conducted a
massive search all over the Pacific and didn’t find the aircraft
parts until someone independent of the government found the parts
on Howland Island. There was speculation that Japan had shot the
aircraft down, even though Japan claimed they hadn’t, and took
Earhart and Noonan prisoner, but that theory was laid to rest when
the United States occupied Japan after World War Two. On Terra,
Fred Noonan actually thrived for the short time, in Terran terms,
that he lived on Terra. He worked on starship navigation systems,
which took him a very short time to learn, and he found he enjoyed
working on technologies that had been beyond his imagination a few
years earlier. As for Susan Transavera, even though she was
banned from leaving Terra, she was asked by historical societies
and universities to speak about her experiences flying primitive
Earth aircraft and how she dealt with living in a somewhat
technologically backward society. She claimed she enjoyed Earth,
especially since she lived in Malibu, California when she wasn’t
flying and got to live in a house near the ocean. She missed flying
propeller driven aircraft, so she had a replica of her last plane
built and flew it all over Terra, which gave her a following of
people who wanted to do the same thing, since propeller driven
aircraft hadn’t been used since the Terrans had originally left
Earth. Susan was also asked by a publisher to write about her
adventures on Earth, she does, and the book ends up on the Terran
bestseller list. So, the punishment ended up not being much of a
punishment for the flier known on Earth as Amelia Earhart.

Chapter Seven

    World War Two breaks out on Earth and the
Terrans note that this time it really is a worldwide war, fighting
was occurring in the oceans, the seas, and on six continents.
Terran scientists predict that Germany would conquer Europe and
Africa, while Japan would take all of Asia and the Pacific Islands,
including the Australian continent. Once both countries conquered
those regions, the Terrans thought Japan and Germany would team up
and conquer North and South America. Hitler, they reasoned, would
then turn on Japan,
