Introduction The original incarnation of Arcturus Initiative: Book One was a real time blog on the internet that included photographs and drawings. I was one of perhaps one hundred mission reporters in all, and I was allowed to include photos and sketches as long I didn’t compromise security or divulge technology. In addition, I was the worst photographer in the world, armed with the cheapest phone camera in the world, so I’m pretty sure the Arcturus staff felt safe their security would not be compromised. From December 2010 to August 2011, my website was retooled to take my readers directly to the Arcturus Initiative blog and no other explanations were offered. I left out the pics in the final draft to provide a cleaner eBook format for my readers Here are most of the original photos and drawings, along with a little more back story. I hope they embellish your Arcturus Mission experience. This was taken just before getting on a helicopter to start the trip to UDL (Undisclosed Location) Percival. That helicopter was the last conventional craft I would see on this mission. As much as it’s unprofessional to wear sunglasses on camera, there is an aspect of mirrored sunglasses that I really think adds to the thousand words of every picture. In this case, you can see my fellow Xenopsychologist Joyce taking the picture. Halfway en route to UDL Percival, we landed and transferred to an EVA/CRAB. CRABS are the amazing equivalent of Jeeps in the Arcturus motor pool. That is, if Jeeps could fly, walk on six mechanical legs and had arms.
