Ah... to prevent the Galactic Overlord from ruling the world? Just kidding. The Galactic Overlord is to make an appearance in my story if I can possibly justify it. I'm calling it a literary reference. See, in my favorite novel by Robert Heinlein, The Rolling Stones, the dad and then the grandmother write this really bad space-serial cartoon, all about heroic spacemen and the "Galactic Overlord", and it's about the same quality I expect my story to be. But the grandmother, Hazel, has a great philosophy of writing; you just keep the action too fast and furious for the readers to notice it makes no sense whatsoever.

Would the Galactic Overlord be Bob by any chance?

I have a feeling that's what NaNoWriMo is all about...
