Quick Notes on the Quest

Aliens are called "Visitors", and come in four varieties:

WARRIOR: Big, red, four-armed soldier creatures. The first rangers who went through the portals to scout ran into a horde of them and were torn limb from limb. During the war they put on brass armor and charged through hails of bullets. They killed with their bare hands.

FLOATER: Half-cybernetic flying things. They had rocket launchers strapped to their backs and strafed armored columns way back when. Nowadays they fill in jobs where their natural hovering would be useful. Sometimes you read in the news about one who went into a no-fly zone and got zapped or collided with a plane.

OCULOT: They have one eye and they can shoot fireballs from it. They were nightmares during the first few years of the war. A lot of the time they were squad leaders or whatever the Visitor equivalent of that is. Everyone's on edge around an Oculot, because if you piss them off they can fry your brains.

SKUT: Speedy rodent-lizard hybrid critters. In the war they strapped bombs to their backs and ambushed fireteams. Anyone who the blast didn't get was splashed with their acidic blood. Skuts keep to themselves even more than most Visitors do, and people crack a lot of jokes at their expense, but they have horns and they can spit acid so it's not usually to their face. Not that they'd do anything if they heard you; most of them are very skittish and shy. Skuts have orgies.

Characters

The objects of our affections, and ambiguous protagonist

Zack Our protagonist. Has disturbing dreams about the war with the Visitors. His job is to date aliens. GG A red, four-armed powerful woman from a proud warrior race. Takes two dates to sleep with. Polyphema A flamboyant (and wordy) Oculot. Has psychic powers and legs (and a tongue) that just don't quit. Bika A shy skut girl who uses a lot of emoticons. Skuts look vaguely gnollish, but with a bigger tail. May or may not be a hive-mind. Megumi A jet-black skinned cyborg with a panache for opera. Was literally built for the express purpose of dating Zack, the lucky bastard.
