After Jack was abducted by the alien spaceship, and after the round vessel had vanished into the Milky Way, he found himself walking down a tubular corridor with white vibrating walls, escorted by a sinuous blonde who smiled graciously and said her name was Minna. She was tall and well endowed, with sparkling blue eyes, but Jack knew she was a hologram. He also knew that he was supposed to be utterly freaked out by the abduction, but he wasn’t and attributed his calm to a narcotic administered by the aliens. Jack felt like his normal self.

“What?”
The multitude of TV screens showing people in distress returned to broadcast from the walls. Minna smiled and pointed to the screens. “You can help them. You can be their god.”
Jack nervously tried to sit up in the armchair, but was coddled by soft yet powerful
