A defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert posture used by the United States Armed Forces. The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and unified and specified combatant commands. It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. military, and increase in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations.
DEFCONs are a subsystem of a series of Alert Conditions, or LERTCONs, that also includes Emergency Conditions (EMERGCONs). DEFCONs should not be confused with similar systems used by the U.S. military, such as Force Protection Conditions (FPCONS), Readiness Conditions (REDCONS), and Watch Conditions (WATCHCONS), or the Homeland Security Advisory System used by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
The preparations that take place under the five DEFCONs are difficult to describe because they vary between many commands, they have changed over time as new weapon systems were deployed, and the precise details remain classified. Additionally, during nuclear / normal tests, exercises, or drills, the United States Department of Defense uses exercise terms when referring to the DEFCONs. This is to preclude the possibility of confusing exercise commands with actual operational commands. The current exercise terms have been used since at least 1960, when they were used in a North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) exercise.

Plot: An alien comes to earth with a botanical virus plot. He's not a bad guy, he's just in it for the paycheck. But a shut-in Arizona widow wins him over with her garden-fresh produce, protects him like a foster mother, and even flies to Omicron to overthrow his scheming government. Not bad for a retired widow from Phoenix.
Genres: Comedy, Family, Sci-Fi,Have you seen that girl the other night at the club ? She
was wearing black like the other year
As a bird she came, could'nt forget her name J-U-L-I-A
used to hate cocaine
Then in a bar we could'nt get too far, dead drunk with
happiness, too much to drive my car
Do you have a gun ? Something must be done, six holes and
a bullet would be such fun
It's been half a day since I know she's in grey, it's
been half a day I still wanna play
Now she says she hates me and comes over me
I remember the bar we could'nt get too far, dead drunk
