Giving it the sci-fi try: new Saiyuki fic

As ever, I am of (at least) two minds about this piece. It's been a really, really long time since I've tried to do anything that would qualify as science fiction, and I've never tried to transport or transpose fandom into a science fiction setting. Figuring out the details for this bold new universe is already proving to be challenging! (I worry that I may have tried to cram in too much already...)

Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to introduce it. I don't even really have a title. *sigh* Perhaps there's something to be said for copy-pasting the basic fic informational form today...

(tentative)Title: Visitors From the Back of Beyond
Summary: Hakkai and Gojyo receive an unexpected guest.
Rating: Currently PG. Later: who knows?
Notes/Warnings: Science fiction AU; general weirdness and wtf-ery; eventual shabby attempts at humor and poking fun at the genre; established relationship--Hakkai/Gojyo, in no particular order; the occasional swear or two; the usual thoughtless, self-editing you've come to expect from me.

Now, on with the show!

I'm thinking...well. I'm glad to have finished a first scene, at least. The second scene is looking a little trickier than this one, though I've already made some forays. It (meaning this story as a whole) is all a bit nebulous right now. I'm going to go give it some more thought.
