Prologue

The Men in Black (MiB for short) is a top secret government organization whose primary objective is to monitor, license, regulate and police extraterrestrial activity on the planet Earth. While the agency was first founded in Europe in the late 19th century with Gustave Eiffel as one of the founding agents, the U.S. branch was founded in the mid-1950s. It was a poorly funded government organization devoted to making contact with extraterrestrial life. They were initially seen as a joke, but did make contact with a group of alien refugees on March 2, 1961, outside New York City.

It was decided to make Earth an apolitical zone for aliens without a planet, and the organization broke its government ties to become the Men in Black, which became the singular force to conceal and police the aliens that came to Earth. The founding members were the seven agents present at the landing, plus an amateur astronomer and a young man who got lost going to see his girlfriend. This last one became Kay, and one of the agents became his partner Dee. The MiB has continued since then, with Zed as its senior agent, to protect the normal citizens of Earth from alien threats and police extraterrestrial immigrants.

Among the many agents in MiB, the youngest is Lydia; she is the adopted daughter of Agent Kay. She was rescued by Kay when her parents were killed by a terrible alien monster in 1981, when she was just fifteen months old. Agent Kay raised her as his own, and by 1997, she was working in the research lab in MiB headquarters. Lydia is kind and sweet with everyone, especially aliens. Agent Kay had always been honest with Lydia, except about her parents. He didn't want to tell her the truth, worrying that she might leave MiB. So Kay faked the case file about Lydia's parents. But eventually, Lydia does find out the truth. And you'll find out Lydia's reaction in this new story!
