Astropop and the Conspiracy of the Lizards Part 1

Greetings fellow Earthlings and anyone else who happens to be listening.

This is Richard and in a moment I'm going to be handing over to Astropup

who will regale us with the first of a two-part adventure set mainly on planet Earth.

If you were new to StoryNori, I'd better explain that Astropup is a space- hound who recounts his adventures in English with the benefit of some alien technology.

It's actually a little box in his collar that enables him to speak to us.

His companions are a laid-back human called

Marlowe and a parrot. The parrot is fluent in many languages even without a theme-a-jig. Opinion

is sharply divided on the parrot's true nature. Some say he is a genius, others call him a deluded megalomaniac.

Now we have to thank Tadius and Alma for prompting this story. They wrote to StoryNori saying,

We just finished listening to the series about the Parrot as president of the world.

Now we have heard about his missions getting to Ulan 40.

I recall that they get there in the story,

the best hot dog in the universe,

but now I remember that they never do go back to Earth

to report about what's happened.

The only time they get close to Earth is to collect

lunar, their space tourist. Then the video game addiction starts right after the story

about Astropop meeting his younger self. So, do they ever go home to Earth? Or do they report

back to the president? Well, Tadius and Alma, to answer your question,

we must turn to Astropup himself.

Good day to you. Or good evening, depending on where you are.
