| Notes: |
I donated this story to the New Pacificon '98 Conzine, a fundraiser to help pay for an Earth 2 convention in 1998.
I obtained permission from one of the editors to post this story on my web site also, since that fanzine has sold out.
I wrote this story when I was younger and stupider and did not know how lasers actually work, and it's too late to change it now. Sorry.

| Heroes |

| Setting: | 200 years after the events of Earth 2 |
| Notes: |
I wrote this story to coincide with the one-year anniversary of EvacPod Con, and I slipped a lot of in-jokes about that trip into it.
"Heroes" also comes with a humorous story-before-and-after-the-story. The main character of "Heroes" is also meant to be a polite parody of science fiction fans.

| Synopsis: |
Archaeologist Anna LeClark sets out to uncover the secrets of the Founding Fifteen – the legendary members of Eden Advance.
But her trip to uncover the past turns into a journey of her own when she comes to grips with just what it is that she's searching for.
