I notice Michael has no family. He mentions nothing of them. In fact, he does not have any friends. It would be good to add some characters, family and friends. His father will be Osmundo Sanglao and his mother will be Julia Sanglao, both from the Philippines. They live in Las Vegas, Nevada, as mentioned earlier in the novel. Michael has an older sister, Helen (Sanglao) Martin, who is married to Tony Martin. She has a teenage son, Jonathan.

Now all this story takes place in a past. Michael is recalling his whole story to his therapist, Dr. Robertson. At this point, Michael has earned his Ph.D. from Harvard and is working on his postdoctoral fellowship at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. He hopes to be a senior physicist with the Office of Naval Research, working from NRL. Of course, he has just learned that his assignment in an antisatellite weapons system called Project Pathfinder.

He shares an apartment in Alexandria, Virginia, with his roommate and friend, David Sanchez, a Latino man who is a software engineer also at NRL. David works on software for 3-dimensional volumetric imaging, more commonly known as "holograms". He developing the software code for the Navy's new 3-D volumetric radar system (3DVDS). David earned his B.S. and M.S. in computer science at Duke University.

That's it in a nutshell. I'll come up with another chapter.
