. . . in 2052 Darnell Sidwell finds the alien artifact on Titan.

Yup, the clues in the text are clear – the artifact is first discovered on April Fools Day, though that is never explicitly stated.

Why did I do this? For my own amusement, mostly. I appreciate a good April Fools joke – one that plays on someone’s expectations and gullibility, one like you’ll frequently catch on NPR that just might be possible. Given the way the discovery plays out in the story, I thought it a good place to start.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Couple of brief notes: downloads of the text of Communion of Dreams are now over 8,300, and almost 100 people have downloaded the first chapter of the mp3 files (with all the different sections of chapters in those files, and no comprehensive download file to track easily, I’m mostly going to keep tally on the first chapter for simplicity.)

We’ll be starting the next round of ballistics testing tomorrow, so my posting schedule might be kind of erratic through the weekend.

Watch out for April Fools!
