| abstract | - Sye was created hatched six months after Veranda. He, like his sister and his father before him, were of darker colors and dress than the outside world. He seemed rather out of place in the vibrant colors of Antarctica. Sye, from day one, could barely see at all. His father, being an expert scientist, hand-crafted his son a pair of glasses to help him see. The result, though, were large, nearly-Dorkugese looking spectacles with thick lenses and black frames. He was teased in school since he was enrolled. Without these glasses, Sye is legally blind, unable to see his own flippers in front of him. He carries a white cane as a symbol of his poor eyesight. This cane doubles as a weapon to protect him from Xet, a skill he depends on greatly. Sye succeeds well in school, those his father is still a bit disappointed in his intentions to persue a career in the paranormal. It isn't "real science", so his father claims. The kids at his school thought he was weird because of this and kept making fun of him. It was during one of his research adventures that he picked up signals from outer space detailing a great invasion and of a "special invader" heading to the earth. Sye tried to tell others of this, but the signal never reappeared. Curiously, a house- not an igloo, but a house -appeared in an empty lot directly down and across the street of the Grimom family igloo. Sye saw this as suspicious beyond belief, but to his shock and awe, the neighborhood brushed it off as nothing. He then met a "penguin"- actually an alien -in his schoolroom the next day, whom he immediantly connected to the signals, the house, and the Invasion. He shouted at Xet in the middle of class, but no one believed him. After all, Xet's outbursts of conspiracies were nothing new. The week before Xet's arrival, for example, Sye pointed out a window and shouted about a stalker puffle that controls your mind. Four weeks prior, he shouted about a monarch popping out of the ground and handing a briefcase of money to a robed figure wearing a capirote. When he arrived at the school, he asked the students if they heard voices from nowhere, like he did. Sye became the laughing stock of the school and his neighborhood even more so. This ridicule did not drive him to manic depression, however. Rather, it furthered his passion to prove them all wrong. He was going to expose Xet and prove he wasn't crazy! The onslaught of ridicule followed Sye even outside of the school system. Chicks pointed and laughed at him when they saw him on the street, others would shout about UFOs or amusement park schemes, just to make him look. Then, they'd trip him when he continued walking. Sye felt alone in the world because everything kept disappearing right before he could prove its existance. It was then that, while running from bullies, that he literally ran into Canren. She felt pity for the nerd, and hid him until his persecutors passed by. Sye was grateful and explained his problems. Canren was shocked to find someeone with similar issues, even if his was alien and hers was "real". Sye and Canren became fast friends, and occasionally, they will meet with one-another and exchange tips and ideas for busting. With a friend, Sye finally felt better, and he continues to try and catch Xet in the act.
