Only the free possess the disposition to be truthful.
Only the truthful have the interest to be just.
Only the just possess the willpower to be free.

- W.H. Auden

Lieutenant Sophie Maitland is a New Mexico State Police officer, ex-Airborne division, now commanding a run-down precinct in the ass end of nowhere. After an unfortunate incident involving a civilian plane which resulted in three deaths, she was grounded and transferred to Crossroads, NM, south of Las Cruces.

She's 30, a lanky, freckled redhead not quite cut out for the sun and dry heat. Usually seen in a dusty uniform with scuffed knee and elbow pads, worn leather boots, her NMSP jacket, the Python on her hip. She wears her hair up under a navy baseball cap with a NMSP badge on the front, and is rarely without sunglasses and a dab of zinc oxide on her nose.

Ever since the Dragoon incident, she's been heavily into the UFO scene. She doesn't talk about it, but a visit to her office will reveal a desk cluttered with trashy abduction novels and old newspaper clippings, and the walls are plastered with grainy photographs of alleged UFO sightings.

Wanna read a letter she wrote to her mother?
