[2418] The Protected People of Earth - Chapter 2 Garden Variety Paige

Here is Chapter 2 of the story with the working title "The Protected People of Earth."

'Protected People of Earth' - Chapter 2

Edit: Looking for criticism of all aspects but one very specific question: Are the breaking 4th wall aspects good, bad, off-putting? Besides that looking forward to feedback in whatever isn't working.

This follows Chapter 1 - Grays which I previously posted, but before I had applied the working title of 'The Protected People of Earth.' A quick moment of sincere gratitude. The deep and thoughtful criticism of Chapter 1 has really encouraged me to improve it and I am excited to do so and post again soon.

Chapter 1 has absolutely no information relevant to Chapter 2 and I have yet to decide which will actually be the first chapter of the story. The 2 storylines will eventually come together, but at the moment there is no crossover. Flaired as sci fi, but this chapter has no sci fi elements. Just going to keep is since it will become more sci fi in later chapters.

Accounting: 3148 Beast minus the 1772 I used for the aforementioned Chapter 1 - Grays =1376 Used here

The remaining 1105 comes from my review here 3357 Monsters on Mars parts 5 and 6
