I got this idea watching "Childhood's End" on Syfy tonight.
An alien space craft arrives in Earth's orbit. With a handful of incredible acts, it becomes obvious that the "power" of this ship and its occupant (or occupants, we don't yet know) is far beyond that of Humankind.
A female (you) aboard the International Space Center -- an astronaut, scientist, teacher, whatever -- is selected by the alien leader to be his liaison to Earth. She is given two responsibilities: to explain Earth and its people to him; and to explain to the people of Earth his plan for their planet. He has priorities, but as he comes to know her, he allows her to select a few priorities of her own, too.
I don't want to say more as she (you) are supposed to be as "in the dark" as is his orbiting space craft.
There can be an opportunity for romance and sex if you want, but the main story is NOT about either.
I am anal about spelling, grammar, and punctuation checks. I expect that mistakes will be made -- I make my share of them -- but I also expect checks prior to posting to be made as well.
