I want to stress that this is not the tale of the first humans to walk the Earth, but it is the tale of the first extraordinary people who pushed humanity to its limits.
Dr. Samuel Davenport, from 1923 Introduction of The First People
The First People have not been verified in the strictest sense; there are no frozen specimens, no fossil record, no ruins or structures that evidence a pre-ancient culture; but that does not mean that it is not true.
Dr. Lynnette Jones, from 1990 Introduction of The First People
Excerpt from The First People
What did we give to them? Fear and distrust, exploitation. Now they exist only in their progeny.

INFRARED – Part 2 – The Doorway
The hold over from the Interim Shorts period comes to an end. It seems that there are some similarities between the ancient Formorn and Mog, and our heroes Ivan and Clay. And learn more about the doorway to the red realm.
POWER: “Fomorn and Mog, the half giant and his giant companion, loved one another so much, that when they were together, their energies raged brightly; Fomorn’s golden yellow and Mog’s dark blue, and like a beacon it was visible across many realms of existence. The energies of nature not visible to the normal eye took notice, as did the dark energies of the in between spaces, and the two left their combined energy signatures on Earth to bring power to the misunderstood, but harmonious love that might exist so that it could flourish and serve a people in need, just as the first Alia would have wanted.”

The story continues and this time, the Red Father brings the fight to our heroes. Wendy gives control to the ancient Tendayi who could not be more thrilled to be reunited with an Alia.
Family Ties (The Brave Chimutengwende Bk. 1): “Wendy is currently in the middle of conflict, with reinforcements restored. It was touch and go there for a minute, disconnected from the vadzimu and confronted with a threat unlike anything she could fathom.”

Ivan is still in the red realm, and he must face a red man of his own, but does he have the strength? Clay and the Don work together, but the Red Father has a curveball that will disorient Clay.
Fusion (Diode Bk. 2): “Ivan is a ghost. Or he knows what it feels like to lose his body and be nothing more than the energies of his spirit. It is agonizing in his current location where his soul is inundated by the chaos of red energy, pushed and pulled by winds that swarm around him.”

It all ends here! It’s the exciting conclusion as the Alia rallies her friends, old and new. Can they end the Red Father for good?
Least Possible Future (Amazing Alia, the Alia Bk. *): “Alia appreciates the confidence, but she knows that her plan is a Hail Mary. When she focuses on the Don, she knows that he can see what appears to be a leech on Ivan that is the lever of the Red Father’s control. If she can target it, destroy it with the starlight, all of this should be over. But Alia can’t see it unless she is looking through the eyes of the Don.”

Who wins the race? Who will emerge victorious? And if Frial wins, is Whadgaf still willing to allow him to kill her? It’s the end of another chapter in the saga of Agent Red!
Agent Red (Time Trials): “Whadgaf and her new shipmate, Sib, are all business on the humanitarian throughway to the banned regions. Sib monitors the engines and various thrusters, while Whadgaf navigates the ship almost recklessly through the fast, but orderly moving traffic. They are so close to the banned regions now that warp speed is both unnecessary and dangerous. ”

We have to take a pause in the forward momentum of the narrative to show you Falstraq’s reaction to learning that God is now a lab rat. If you remember, he was ready to fight Pegraf, but the Lead Scientist wants harmony, not discord.
The God Tests: “Falstraq has been very distraught since first meeting Pegraf 7, who apparently operates a secret biological project that involves test subjects who had been sentenced to forced labor and then coopted for participation. God was among the test subjects being experimented on like a laboratory animal when e should have been recruited for employment by the most competitive laboratories on the planet.”
