Two years into his presidency Vinnie Crumholtz had managed to create a powerful police force and had garnered the military top wigs to join him by pure bribery with the entire nation’s assets. The congress was totally embattled and assassination attempts were an ongoing daily occurrence. In early 2019 Vinnie had planned the destruction of congress and whatever happened to the people of DC was just going to be collateral damage. The patriots of the Nation had been fighting against this entire subversion of their government and there were ongoing daily skirmishes from one coast to another. Vinnie had also planned to blame them for what was coming. He left DC early in March to visit Denver. He had asked his staff and two congressmen to join him on the vacation. The video that Susanna had found along with documentation in top secret files clearly showed Vinnie planting the suitcase nuke in the Capital building. It also showed his accomplishes and it actually showed him shooting a guard that was on duty at the time. In the video Vinnie could clearly be seen shooting and dragging the guard to a nearby closet. The two people that were with him and helped disappeared after the fact so no one ever knew what might have happened to them. The videos were full of murders that Vinnie had pulled off on his way to the top including his brother. This man was pure evil. By the time the nuke went off Vinnie had already set up his new Capital and after the destruction almost immediately he declared a state of emergency and declared war on the patriots. He suspended the elections and virtually abolished everything that America stood on. That is when he declared himself the new emperor. Any one that defied him was dealt with swiftly and brutally. The police state had completed its course to full blown outright control and tyranny and Vinnie sat at its head. Murder and mayhem was ramped up and full force began to take control of the world in earnest by this little worm.

Lionhawk read through as much of the documentation as he could stomach and watched the videos until he wanted to vomit. He had watched this little freak strut himself around like a god while the world crumbled into chaos. He looked up at everyone with tears streaming from his eyes and asked about their mission to West Virginia. Shadowself had gotten up and sat beside him holding him by this time. She looked at them and asked to go on the mission with them. Mark looked at Maria and she spoke to Shadowself and said, “you and I are going to do something first as part of this mission if you so choose. We must deliver the copies of this to some folks at the border of Virginia and you know some others at the borders of West Virginia that must have this also. After we do this then we will come back here and all of us will go to this dark place. Lionhawk must bring his sword because it is a spiritual weapon and he will need it for the battle.”

“There are two spiritual lions waiting for us. Together with Lionhawk there will be three spiritual lions. When we get into this place the lions are going to battle while the rest of us find the labs and research to remove and destroy. We will all have to battle because this is a very dark place and we do not know what is down there at this point. When we are done we will open the portal back to our plane and leave. The underground bunker is going to be destroyed by Evelyne and Eryne when we are done.” Jim spoke up and said “tomorrow we outfit the cars so Shadowself and Maria can do what needs to be done. We will also use the jet belts so everyone is familiar with those. We all have the Portal tech and know how to use that. The time machine gizmos work like this” and with that he pulled one from a case on his belt. It was the newest version and it resembled a small Pelican3500 flash light. It was about 6” long and around 1” in diameter. At the front where the light lens was, a dial was situated with a small led readout just behind it. At the end it had a button that was green. At the tail end where the button resided was another dial and it was used as a space locater. Jim stood up and walked over to the fruit bowl and picked up a piece of fruit. He sat it on the counter top and dialed the front piece for time. He set it for the year 1213 and showed every one the date on the led readout. He then pointed at the piece of fruit and pushed the button. A slight blue beam shot forth and touched the fruit and it disappeared. He told every one how the first version had a strong beam so it had been modified. “Bill made it so no beam emanated. That got to be a bit confusing so Bill brought back the beam and made it weaker. He also connected something to the cloak function so when we are cloaked and use the device it cannot be seen but by only us inside the cloak.”

In the year 1213 in the month of December Jonas Haunder was sitting at a table in his meager hutch wondering where and how he was going to get some food when a delicious looking apple appeared on the table. He stood up and backed away but soon came forward and picked it up and bit into it. He thanked God for it and sat back down to eat.

Every one saw the apple disappear and Jim said “now this next function can just move matter through space to a place that you think of or point to. It is almost identical to the portal except you can point it and send matter through a great distance by turning this dial. It has all these little settings so this is how it works.” He dialed the back end and set another piece of fruit on the counter top. This time he used grapes. He broke off a small clump of about 5 and pointed the gizmo at it pressing the button again. Buster jumped up of a sudden and ran around the fire pit and came back to his floor bed and starred at the fruit. Everyone began to laugh while Buster sniffed and began to eat the grapes.

After all the demonstrations of the tech and a wonderful meal, everybody was sitting around drinking coffee, enjoying the warmth of the fire and good conversation. Shadowself asked about the two gifts that the Divine Creator was going to give them. Maria looked at her and Lionhawk both and seeing that her cup was empty she took the moment to demonstrate one of the gifts that both of these people were going to receive. First she sat her coffee cup down on an end table and then lifted her hand and pointed at the cup. It rose up and she moved it to the counter top and sat it down. Next she raised the carafe and poured another cup of coffee and then set it back on the hot plate. As they all watched in abject fascination the cup rose and floated back to the end table and rested perfectly. Maria picked it up and took a sip. She was watching Shadowself and Lionhawk as they both looked at each other and back to her and the questions started to come forth. Maria raised her hand and said “that is one gift, the ability to levitate. Once the door that is locked in your mind is opened you will be able to do that. The other is the one you have sort of experienced when we activated the dispance cloak. Telepathy is behind another locked door in your mind.” Shadowself then asked “how do we unlock the doors?” Mary told them that three more guests should be arriving soon. Lionhawk stood and retrieved another log and set it on the fire. “Should we make another pot of coffee?” Maria said “yes and if you have some hot chocolate you could make some of that also.” Shadowself got up and walked to the countertop where the carafe was and flipped a switch and a sink was uncovered with a faucet. She opened a door and pulled a bag of fresh ground coffee out and set up the carafe to brew. In the cabinet was the making for hot chocolate also. She moved over to another door and when she opened it, everyone noticed it was a small Refrigerator. She turned and said “we have everything here for what is needed.” She closed the door and came back and sat down

As they continued to talk a portal opened and Christine stepped on to the upper floor living area. Jim stood and walked up and hugged her and escorted her down to the fire pit. Lionhawk and Shadowself both stood as Jim introduced her to them and visa versa. Christine walked around and hugged both of them and said “I am so glad to meet both of you.” They all sat down and talked some more about all the things that had been introduced. Christine told them both and everyone that the girls should be showing up anytime now. Lionhawk asked how she was able to open a portal to their living room if she had never been here before. Christine told him, that Jim had sent images to her by telepathy and he had come to the haven earlier and retrieved the bowl of fruit. “So by the association and telepathy I had the spot in my mind.” Lionhawk looked around and said “this is totally fantastic; I must say that I really want to meet your daughter and her sister.” Just as he said that, he heard giggling and the two girls just materialized on the main floor. Buster jumped up and ran up to them. It appeared that he knew them and both girls bent to their knees and began to pet him. He almost drooled but turned and came down the steps as both girls walked down. Evelyne introduced herself and Eryne did the same. “We have been here before but did not want to intrude until we were invited.” Lionhawk and Shadowself both stood and walked to them and great hugs happened. They all sat down and the two girls opened the fridge door and made the hot chocolate and the cups floated to them. Buster was sitting next to them and whimpering for them to pet him. The both looked at him and all of a sudden he lay down and looked very happy.

Evelyne spoke and said, “We are here to help unlock doors. Both of you have been in the spiritual universe and have been in the place that allows you to come back here for a new life to learn more.” Both Lionhawk and Shadowself shook there heads in acknowledgement. Evelyne continued and began to tell them that “everyone in the room is going to help you both to open doors so you can receive the gifts that were given by the Divine Creator but were locked up an eternity ago by wicked evil souls.” The girls stood and asked everyone to gather close enough to hold each others hands. They all stood and moved to a spot on the main floor that allowed them to do this. Once they were in the circle the light began to glow through each hand. Lionhawk felt the love moving through him and Shadowself. He had always felt the pure love of Shadowself but the other people’s love became intermingled with theirs. The light continued to grow brighter as the love connected. Evelyne and Eryne were standing in the center of the group as the light/love ring grew stronger. Everyone became light and it appeared that 6 columns of light were blazing when all the light shot into the center and the two girls turned to pure light. A bright white tube of light shot up and bent towards the center of the dome and shot into the night sky and continued into the universe.

As the tube of light entered the universe, Love and Light became Spirit through total connection with the Divine Creator. All were one and within the one, doors were unlocked and thoughts were released. When the thoughts were released the spirit flowed back and the light tube came back to the two girls and shot back through the ring and became individual with 6 people standing in a circle holding hands. Lionhawk had been with the one before in other lives and was awakened once more into his warrior spirit. Shadowself had also been in the one in past lives and now was reawakened. She spoke to Lionhawk in his mind/thought and he felt the total love emanating from her. He spoke back and they fell into each others arms. The two girls smiled and giggled turned side ways and disappeared, Mark and Maria, Jim and Christine glowed with the love and Lionhawk and Shadowself were glowing brightly as they all began to move towards the fire pit. Buster had witnessed the light tube and watched as they all came back. He knew within his mind that they all loved him and that they were all connected to the life force. He danced a happy jig and spoke into their minds. I am happy that your thoughts have been set free and spirits are reconnected to all life force. With that Buster lay down on his floor bed and promptly dozed off. After talking in their minds and trying out the levitation techniques everyone had some more coffee. They all heard the giggling and smiled and laughed. Shadowself took the four guests through the double doors on the west and showed them the additional sleeping rooms on the southwest wing of the home. Shadowself and Lionhawk retired to their master wing and continued to laugh and talk with each other until they fell into a restful sleep.

Hava and Luun were deeply concerned for Lionhawk. He had been a great warrior for the light in past lives and every time he reincarnated back his mind thoughts had been locked away by the evil wicked darkness. Eventually he would start to remember and doors would open but as a warrior he would go to battle once again and his physical matter would be destroyed. His spirit would go to the place of waiting and choice and he would choose to come back to carry on the battles. Both girls were going to give an extra gift this time to help him fight the darkness coming up. Arie and Chephirah would also be with him and their spirits were very strong. The girls had opened other doors and freed other thoughts that Lionhawk could use in this very dangerous battle. The sword he would take to battle would shine when the evil wicked things were near. This particular thing had been created by a movie director back in the ending of the 20th century. Little did he know that it was a real thing in the spirit warrior realms Tools to do battle were around forever in the physical sense and most of those kind had been forgotten and were treated as legends in these latter times.

Lionhawk was dreaming of two little girls that told him to wake up. In this vivid dream they took him and brought him to an opening in the side of a mountain. As they set him down there were two beautiful mountain lions sitting next to some brush. One spoke to him and said “We have been waiting for you. We are your brother and sister. My name is Arie and my mate is Chephirah. When we enter this mountain, we will stand together to fight the darkness. Under here is a great den of evil and we must send it all back to its dark pits and close them so they will never come forth here again. With that he found himself in a room with a grinding wheel and some other tools. The two girls were standing in front of him as he sharpened the sword. He knew this sword; it was his and had always been his. He was working up a great sweat while sharpening it. The sword had a name etched into the blade on one side. As he ground the blade he saw the name and it was written in ancient Scottish. He could read it, Vengeance, Blood blade of the Lion. He remembered putting it there but could not remember when. He stopped grinding and began to wet stone the edges of the blade. The sword was an ancient claymore and he had loved it the first time he acquired it He turned it over and one of the girls put a hand on his and said you must add another name to this weapon. He looked at her with a quizzical look but she was very serious. She showed him the name in ancient Scottish. He read it and it said “Rigormortis, Blessed blade of the Lion”. She handed the etching tool to him and he began to put that name on it. When he had finished it the blade shined and it had a bluish tent to it. The girl told him that it would shine brighter when the evil darkness was near and when he struck a blow it would send the creature of darkness back into its hole and it could not come back. He finished wet stoning and honing the blade and walked over and put it into a sheath. The hilt glistened and the girl touched him on the arm again and said here is another gift you must use in the coming battle. She told him to hold his hand outstretched. He did and a blue flame came out of his fingers it hit a stone standing against the wall and caused a blackened spot to appear. When he turned to question her she was gone.

He woke in a sweat and sat up in bed. Shadowself stirred and sat up in bed and asked if he was alright. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and said “just had a very strange dream”. He sat for a few minutes and got up and went to the bathroom to shower. After showering he dressed and went out to the work shop and straight to his sword. The hilt was glistening and when he pulled it out of the sheath he saw the new name etched into it and the bluish tent. He turned and looked at the stone and sure enough there was a blackened spot on it. He looked at his hand and held it up like in the dream and pointed at the stone once again and thought about the blue flame and it shot from his hand and hit the stone, this time the stone broke in two. He went back to the house and into the bedroom. Shadowself had fallen back to sleep so he undressed and crawled back in. He looked at the clock and made note that it had not been more than an hour since they all went to bed the first time. He fell back to sleep and dreamed of two beautiful lions and as he watched them walk their coats rippled like waves on the ocean, there was a shinning light emanating from them both. He woke up and Shadowself had already gotten up. He climbed out of bed and took another shower before getting dressed.

54 DREAMTIME AND THE GARDEN

The Aboriginals sat around the campfire late into the clear starry night. They were singing of the Dreamtime, the smoke from the campfire carrying the sounds of the Dreamtime far into the night. It was a call for all to come into the Dreamtime. It was a call to bring the Dreamtime into this reality.
https://youtu.be/Gf0RrQ62jw8


Nick was preparing himself to jump into the dream smoke as they danced and sang around the fire.
He could barely see anything for the haze that surrounded him was thick. The smoke was beginning to merge with him. The music was trancelike. The rhythmic beat of the drums grew louder inside his head and the heat from the fire filled his lungs, like burning fluid. The beat of the drums was the warrior’s heartbeat thumping in time to his heart. A medicine man yelled to him in ancient tongue, "GO NOW." Nick jumped into the fire and disappeared.

Nick was invisible. Imagine a scene from Lord of the Rings where Frodo Baggins places the ring on his finger. This was where Nick found himself. It was an extremely strange void he found himself in. He was straddling two worlds. He watched through a hazy mist as he saw Shadowself and LionHawk being kitted out with everything they needed by Jim and Mark. He saw Maria and Buster sharing an affectionate moment.

He watched as Arie and Chephirah entered the mountainside, padding with their large soft paws and seeing through their luminous eyes as they made their way in the dark. He saw Aberdeen and Connie engaged in their first kiss underneath that large old gnarled oak tree. How sweet a moment it was to see this! He saw the animals moving through the forest as One. He gazed upon the figures of many indigenous tribes gathered together, explosions of collaboration and ideas, like radiation mushroom clouds, settling onto Mother Earth.

He watched as Amanda Farcorf carefully applied lipstick to that cruel mouth. He saw that perfect smile and shuddered. He smiled as he viewed Deb and her kids, spraying each other in a water fight, everyone wet and laughing. Hair like haloes as their wet hair glistened in the bright, bright sunlight.

He observed attentively as he heard Michael, Theresa, Susanna, and Daniel continue to make their plans as they drove along. He heard a voice calling to him. It seemed like it was coming from far away but it was calling him back. He heard a sucking noise and a loud pop and a swoosh! He was back. He had much to share.

The first of the agro forestry crops were yielding massive amounts of fruit and nuts from the trees that had been so lovingly planted by Deb Petrovski's students. The trees flourished under these ideal conditions. They somehow knew that by having their branches pruned that they would yield more fruit for the people and they grew happily and sturdily amidst the vegetables. The people were good to the earth and the earth responded in kind. It was a wondrous harmony for all. Mother Nature was pleased. The soil teemed with microscopic life. It seemed that all life benefited from what the trees provided in the way of mulch. Little birds that had not been seen for years in the area returned to forage the ground for food and to nest in trees and eat their fill of fruit.

The kids had learned about Hoogelculture from a German guy they dreamed with and now these earth and wooden mounds provided carbon-rich nutrients that the trees sucked up heartily into their roots. The seedlings planted in the rich earth of these mounds sprung up like crazy weeds.
The sun's benevolent rays of unconditional love beamed down on plants and students alike both flourished and grew under these nurturing conditions. The dreaming continued.

Aberdeen continued to buy up land everywhere he went until he ran out of money. The change of heart he had was not only literal; it had encompassed his entire being. He had all these ideas come to him about how the land could be used, inspired in part by the ideas of Connie and Nick but mostly by the young people who dreamed with him. And could those young people dream!

He was so inspired by the ruddy young men and women who had turned their backs on the education system and who were building greenhouses over vast tracks of barren, unused, unfertile land in other parts of the country. Those greenhouses and their aquaponic systems could feed a million people per greenhouse!

He was inspired by the work of those who had sought to green the deserts and were doing just that, John L and Geoff L. He shook his head, the collaboration, the willingness, and the foresight to see something so great where the odds dictated that it could never be possible, these were the greatest sources of inspirations for him.

He saw Vetiver grass, the quiet unsung hero, stealthily transforming a land once so scorched and razed by war and famine that it seemed dead and lifeless, into a lush oasis. Such was the amazing energies and properties of this grass. Great springs of pure water returned to these lands. It took the imagination of just one farmer who dared to dream with a big heart and big ideas. This was an incredible life-giving plant! It made fresh and clean water available for the villagers and the animals to drink where there had been none.

The men, who were nicknamed Mr. Toilet each, despairing over the world's sanitization crisis, each with the determination, each with the tenacity and the heart of lions, were rapidly installing clean, compost able toilets everywhere they went.

The man who had invented the machine that could clean up the world's plastic problem began to clean the Oceans and the land alike with just a flick of the switch. The added bonus was that the plastic turned into a renewable clean energy resource that could be used for fuel for cooking or driving.

The islanders who were left with nothing but coconuts when invaders had decimated every single resource available to them created an entire economy out of coconuts! He saw entire communities thriving on the humble coconut. It was a coconut revolution! He realised that his dreams had to be big enough to encompass the whole of humanity. He couldn't bear the sufferings that were forced upon his brothers and sisters. He had to dream bigger.

Connie had jokingly called the land she and Aberdeen worked upon "The garden of Eden", for it really was such a beautiful place to be a part of. Someone had planted Vetiver grass on the grassy slopes of the forest. The long roots of the Vetiver grass were so entirely meshed together and so deep rooted within the rich soils that they had created a natural body of water from which all came to partake of. It wasn't unusual to see Connie, Aberdeen and a whole bunch of kids at twilight, bathing in the crystal clear waters that flowed into the pond. The animals would come to drink from the cool, cool waters once the human beings had departed. It was such a happy scene to behold until a snake slithered into the Garden of Eden in the form of Amanda Farcorf.

55 A SNAKE IN THE GARDEN

Amanda sensed in her own intuitive dark artful way that the path to the new and improved Aberdeen was through his heart. Literally she had a plan. It was a tough gig but she had managed to pull it off. It had taken her months of going from party to party where all the big wigs played but she had done it. One by one she had slept with all the big Pharma bosses, politicians and anyone in a position to influence the medical industry, male and female alike. She had used her looks and her vile charm to worm her way into their hearts and their homes. The threat of being discovered by their wives or husbands was enough to keep the loathsome toads quiet, at least until she had Aberdeen right where she wanted him.

She smiled a chilling smile, pouted her lips to check that her full tight lips were perfectly lip glossed and pulled the rear vision mirror towards her to primp her hair just so as her last victim pulled over to help her change the flat tire on her immaculate Bentley. "Can I help you ma'am?" Said police Chief Rolin Wakely. "Well officer, I believe you can." Amanda said coquettishly, coiled as if ready to strike. The flat tire hissed in resignation. It was the third time this week she had deliberately flattened her tire in the hopes of seeing chief Wakely. She laughed throatily and drew back her head to look at him. "I believe you can."

It was in the morning after Connie had left to tend the fields that Aberdeen first noticed that the stash of immunosuppressive drugs he kept in the kitchen drawer had gone missing. He emptied the drawer and then all the drawers. In a panic, he turned the entire little cottage upside down. Alas, it was nowhere to be found and it was the last of his medication. He ran to where Connie was working in the forest but she was just as baffled as he as to where his medication had gotten to. Connie held his hand and tried to console him by saying that they could sell the fruit and vegetables they had been harvesting daily, but Aberdeen felt in his heart and told her as much that they would have to sell a lot of the fruit and vegetables they had planned on just giving away to the community to pay for the drugs. Despondently, he returned to the house. He wondered to himself how he could have so absentmindedly gone through them all without noticing.

He was just about to step into the shower, when there was a knock on the door. Wrapping that fateful bathrobe around himself, he strode to the door and opened it. "Well hello there Aberdeen" said Amanda, looking as if she was dressed to kill. Her heels were so high, she towered over Aberdeen. "Are you Aberdeen Watson?" inquired the bailiff for the district, Alan Snowser, standing beside Amanda. Aberdeen went pale. He knew the local bailiff and he knew what a tough nut he was. “Yes of course you know who I am!" said Aberdeen sternly, concern clearly showing on his face. "I'm here to serve you with a warrant" said the bailiff, dutifully handing a bunch of paperwork to Aberdeen. "For what” said Aberdeen?

"This warrant is to remove this building from this land because there is no building permit issued for it and to also summons you to court for not having a legal permit in which to grow commercial plants for sale on this property." "Hang on a second" said Aberdeen, shunning the paperwork with a wave of his hand. "I applied for a building permit a very long time ago when I was still married to this lady." He said, pointing at Amanda. "And, and, and," he said haltingly, "I shouldn't need a permit for growing plants on my land because I am giving it all away and not selling it." "Take it up with the courts." Said the bailiff coldly, shoving the paperwork back into Aberdeen’s hand. The bailiff turned and left.

Amanda stood there with a smirk on her face. "Did you think that I was going to let you go this easily Aberdeen, my Aberdeen?" said Amanda softly with a sneer. She moved closer and swiftly undid the belt of the robe, stood back and admiringly surveyed the contents within. She grinned as he snatched the robe from her and wrapped it around himself tightly. "Well. Being a farmer certainly does suit you Aberdeen." She said and laughed heartily at her own joke. "I guess that I never did get around to posting that building permit for you Aberdeen," She said mockingly. "You and your little whore housekeeper will just have to find another place to live." "What the...!” exclaimed Aberdeen angrily. Impulsively she cried out. "Don't be a fool and come back to me Aberdeen. You know that you and I are a really good fit and I have a nice house that you and I can share. I have plans for you and this land Aberdeen and you are not about to ruin them!"

Amanda quickly checked her outburst for she was careful that no one else should hear her. "Amanda! I..." Aberdeen began to say something but she checked his talk with a finger to his lips. She gave him a sly knowing gaze and threw a quick sultry grin at him. Her smile grew wider. She was grinning like an insane monkey. "You know something Aberdeen. People who have heart transplants don't last very long if they don't take their meds. Their bodies start to reject their hearts and then the heart dies off." The look on Aberdeen’s face as it dawned on him what Amanda had done made her momentarily flinch but she continued on, her voice menacingly treacle sweet. "I can call off all of those pesky little warrants too if you like...All you have to do is say "Yes.”

If you decide that you don't want to be with me Abey, I have arranged it so that there is not one physician or drug company that will give you the medication that you need, and...I will get the government to force you to hand over the land so that they can develop it into housing for the rich." The last part of her statement was a lie because she wanted the land for herself but Aberdeen didn't know it and she was counting on him not calling her out on her bluff. Besides, she still had that ace up her sleeve in the way of his heart medication.

For the first time in his life Aberdeen was speechless. He knew the woman was a player but this...this was ruthless. "Have a think about it sweetie. You know where to find me." Amanda laughed. That laugh was so cold and hard, even though it was a warm day, Aberdeen shivered. She turned heel and sashayed her way back through the path that led to the car park.

Aberdeen connected with Nick Green in his dreams. He took him to a beautiful meadow filled with flowers and long green soft grass and sorrowfully shared with him the turn of events with Amanda. When he had finished, Nick said to him, "Brother, we are going to have to push our imaginations just a little bit further. We will need to go beyond the beyond. What you have said to me has made me realise that we have to up the ante. There are those of us in this dreaming network that are determined, so very determined - with every breath and heartbeat we take - to do this. Rest up my brother, your heart is in good hands. Something tells me that we are only just getting started and you will receive all the help you need. I still haven't shared with you what I have learned from our brothers and sisters who are playing out their roles in this whole game of life; Carolyne, Jim, Hava, Evelyne, Bill and all the others - too many to mention - connecting, growing, collaborating... but you and I will connect again soon.” “I have an idea that will not only allow us to consolidate on what they have been planning but also assist in allowing the rest of humanity to fulfill their best and brightest dreams.”

Nick then vanished and in his place, Connie stood. Her pure sweetness and the way she looked at him with such love and tenderness made him weep softly. She consoled him, the only way she knew how. She took his hands in hers and she said ever so gently, "my love, my twin flame. I have looked into your real eyes and I now see you. For the first time in my life, I can see my way clearly to the present moment and all it represents. We have been gifted with each other on Mother Earth for however long that may be. Never forget that our union has birthed creative ideas that have now been realised and which are greater than the sum of us. I will always love you. Neither Time nor space can touch us." Aberdeen's heart trembled. He felt Connie's love and inspiration the way a mountain feels the cool and pure water coursing down through it and around it. It did help somewhat to know how deeply he was loved by this amazing being.

Connie knew that Aberdeen's heart was growing weaker every day without the medication, for it wasn't only the lack of medication that was causing his heart to falter, it was the thought of all the dreams he and Connie had together for the future being destroyed. All the dreams he had of feeding the world and having children were precariously dangling in the fate of Amanda's hands and it filled him with dread and despair. No longer could Aberdeen work in his beloved forest, he could only sit on the porch and watch from a distance as the work to harvest and prune continued. He had grown to love this forest in a way that he could never have imagined before. He couldn't bear the thought of losing the land, the house and the woman that he now called "home".

56 GEROU MONTANA

Samuel brought the chopper into a low approach to a secluded field of grass located just before a forest of fir trees. They all saw the mountain range to the west and north of them. He sat the bird down gently. He had deactivated the jet device a few miles back and spun the rotor to get to this spot. He turned the rotor off and they all sat looking out at the beauty around them. Montana was in its mid fall season and the colors were a brilliant painting across the meadow and up into the forests. As they sat there two large brown bears came out of the trees and meandered towards them. Samuel and Mary both watched as these two bears kept getting closer. Samantha and Jonathan watched from the back and Samantha said “they’re going to walk right into us if they don’t change course”. Samuel was amazed by their beauty and he was going to start the rotor and lift off when Mary reached over and grabbed his arm. He turned and looked at her and saw that she was captivated also by these two bears. When he turned back both bears had stopped right in front of the chopper and were gazing at them through the front glass. One stood up on its hind legs and appeared to raise its front leg and wave to them. Every one in the chopper starred and then in their minds they heard this wondrous creature speak to them. “I am Kuruk and pointing to the one standing next to him, this is Sikyahonaw. We were told you would come here in this meadow of plenty. The ones that told us said we must meet you and tell you about the place you are to go into. We have been into this place and it has many humans in bright tunnels. We could not venture further than the beginning of the bright tunnels. We watch the entrance to the cave and see the humans coming and going. Kuruk turned and pointed to the mountain towards the northwest of their position. You must wait here for word from other humans before going to the cave with light. We will go and stand in the place you will take this monster. With that the two bears dropped down on all fours and turned and began to trot towards the forest and the mountain.

Samuel turned to everyone and said “well we meet friends on our way”. Every one smiled and continued to watch the two bears move across the meadow. It was not long before they had entered the forest and were gone. Samuel stood and moved to the back and opened a cabinet and removed some food, He asked it any one else wanted to eat something now since this was their last chance before they engaged the bunker. Every one said “Yes”. They sat around munching and gazing at the beautiful scenery. Mary stood and walked to the storage locker and removed four time machine gizmos and handed them out. They all had clips on their fatigues designed to hold the devices. She gave each a spray canister of the special potion the girls had come up with along with Harvey Jacobs. Christine had appropriately named it Bluegreen and had added another name to it, “Lifesaver”. So somehow that got written on the canisters. Mary walked over to the hatch and unlocked it and looked at Samuel. He said it was all clear so she opened it. She then asked everyone to climb out so they could test their jet belts once more. They all jumped to the ground and were standing together. The first thing was to activate the dispance cloak. They all did and could see each other and Mary used telepathy to ask how they felt. In their minds they all said fine. Mary turned on her jet belt and lifted off. She told everyone to do that so they did and began to loop around. They all had practiced and mastered this technique so all landed and turned everything off. They all became visible once more and climbed back into the chopper. The hatch was closed and the meadow returned to normal.

Nawhaur the beaver was standing atop his dam when he saw the giant bug land in the field and then watched the two bears come across the meadow. He thought they were coming to eat the giant bug and watched them intently as they got closer and prepared him self to dive into the little pond he had created at the southern end of the meadow. The little creek that ran through had been the perfect place for him to create his home. He stood and was ready to jump when he saw the bears stop in front of the bug. One stood on its hind legs and began to point with its front arm and paw. He watched this go on for awhile and then the bear dropped down on all fours and both of them turned and trotted back the way they had come. The early morning was sunny and he was enjoying his handiwork and munching on some limbs before he began to work on his dam some more, so when the bears left he stayed on the dam enjoying the sun once more. He kept a weary eye out towards the area the bears had stopped with the giant bug. A little while later he saw something, that made him want to jump in the water and find another place to build. He heard the noise first and saw a hole open in the side of the bug. Four humans jumped to the ground. He watched them jump into the air and circle around like he had seen the black birds do. He was so distraught by now that he almost fell off his dam. All of a sudden the four humans climbed into the hole and it closed. Nawhaur dove into the pond and crawled into his home and just sat there shaking and wondering about what he saw.

Gerou was nothing more than a mountain lodge that had been designed and built by some Architects from Colorado back in the 19th century. It was situated at the top of a pass that was also called by the name. It was a big log built structure using the virgin fir trees that grew on this mountain. It had a good sized restaurant inside a main two story building that had 40 rooms for lodging. Around the perimeter were small 1 story bungalows and the trails for hiking were open during the summer months There were around 20 or so homes scattered within a 5 mile radius for the people that operated the lodge year around. The bunker had been constructed in the late 20th century down in an old abandoned gold mine. It had been upgraded on a regular basis. It was located about 20 miles down the side of the mountain to the south. All the locals new about it but the military had always supported their businesses so everything was normal for them when the military boys came through.

Colonel Bullnutt finished his breakfast and asked for another cup of coffee. Lieutenant Leavit and Sergeant Swamprat had both finished their breakfast and the sergeant had gone out to warm up the systems on the skimmer. The waitress had come over and poured more coffee for both of them and moved on to others. The Colonel spoke in a hushed voice to the lieutenant and said “today we are going to make some history. That Major and the lieutenant that blew our base in Wyoming and stole all the experiments and research plus the other people we had working there may have set us back a few years but we finally have the pieces from Flaxville to assemble the new laser weapons. Once we get them assembled at the bunker we will test them on something live and if all that works we are instructed to secure Missoula. I have been told that a contingent of aircalv will be at our call once we test everything out. Once we do that we will be going to Helena and taking this state completely over this should have happened months ago but those idiots up in Flaxville could not get it together. I think they have some traitors among them. I intend to clean out the rats nest when we get done here. The Colonel asked for the credit reader and the waitress brought it over. He stuck his hand into the slot and it tabbed the bill. He and the Lieutenant stood and walked out the front door. “Once we get this state into our control that sort of thing is going to stop”.

Setting in the chopper everyone had decided to get some rest. They had traveled most of the night and it was around 7am when they had set down. They were waiting for word from Bill to tell them that their mission was about ready to commence. Jonathan was studying some old blueprints of a weapon that he had been working on prior to them leaving and going with Bill and Carolyne. The weapon had been designed as a particle laser beam rifle for infantry. If it had been completed at the time the world would be a far worse off place today. He had known at the time how deadly and very destructive it was going to be and the world did not know that all nations would be subjugated by the use of this insidious weapon. That was the number one reason he had taken everything and destroyed what was left when Bill or Major John Ballard and Lieutenant Jamie Carol had asked everyone to leave. The weapon was being developed with two functions at the time. The first was touted as being the merciful function. It would only lobotomize the victim leaving him or her a zombie completely helpless. The second function would melt human flesh and organs or so to speak it would melt organic material into a lump of wet mush. As he thought about that it made him sick. He swallowed his bile just as Bill spoke into their minds. He told them that they had arrived in North Dakota and were preparing to enter the bunker. Samuel had mind talked back and told him that they were prepared and just waiting to move on the bunker on Gerou. All seemed a go and Samuel buckled in and told everyone that this was it. He spun the rotor and lifted the chopper up and moved towards the bunker on this side of the mountain.

57 NORTH DAKOTA AND THE COTTONWOODS

Kevin had set the chopper down in an area between two rolling hills that were covered with waving prairie grass. As they had flown in Kristyl had noticed a small herd of Buffalo grazing just to the north. Kevin turned the rotor off and they set for awhile to watch the small prairie dogs flittering around. Bill and Carolyne had both undressed and redressed into the military uniforms. Kevin had turned to ask Bill about contacting Samuel and Mary and starred in surprise at the two officers standing in the cabin. The two star general looked liked if he gave an order one would jump immediately. The Colonel was a striking woman but demanded instant respect. Kristyl turned and her mouth dropped open. She asked where the chains were for her and Kevin. Carolyne smiled and reached into a bag hanging on the cabin wall. She pulled out the chains and let them unravel to the deck. She looked at Kristyl with such a straight and stern face, Kristyl had to crack up laughing and with that every one began laughing. After they all settled down Carolyne took something out of the locker, it was a small bottle of pills. She passed it around and told everyone to take one. Bill asked what this might be. Carolyne said it was something that she had learned how to make when she read the book in the dream place. We are going into something where some very dangerous germs exist and I do not want any of us getting contaminated. She reached into the storage locker again and pulled out the time machine gizmos and the small spray canisters that said “Bluegreen lifesavers” and handed them all too every one. Kevin took the pill and swallowed it and turned around to look out the front bubble. Standing just a few yards away was about 5 prairie dogs. They were standing on their hind legs and looking straight at the chopper.

Nantan the Prairie dog had been standing at his burrow entrance when he saw a great bird fly in and touch the ground. He had given the warning for his Coterie and they had all run and dove into their own burrows. He continued to watch and the giant bird did not move from the spot it had landed. He could see humans inside it and thought maybe the bird had eaten them and was satisfied. The curious thing was that the humans were still moving around inside the bird. He started to wonder if the humans would kill the bird from within and escape. As he stood up once again his Coterie began to poke their heads out and climb to the top of the mounds. They chattered to one another and asked Nantan what this creature might be that did not attack them. Nantan told them that he did not know. He was contemplating telling the town to lay low until this creature either died or flew away when he heard a voice in his mind telling him to approach this beast and wait for one of the humans inside to ask a question. Nantan was the spokesman for his Coterie so he called 4 of his clan to come with him. He and 4 others scampered over to the bird creature and stood in front of it waiting for the voice.

YANSA and IINIWA the buffalo had been grazing on two hills over from where the giant bird came down and disappeared into the ravine. They had been told that this creature would roost in that particular area. The voice had also talked to them when they were up around the cottonwoods where they had seen the humans come and go to a strange place. The voice had told them that once they met the humans in the bird and told them where to go that they would get their grazing area and the trees back after these humans left. Other humans had come to an area that was further toward where the light rose in the sky. Those humans would stay far away from where they grazed and bedded down. These other humans would drive some beast close to their bedding ground and move to a small human building and disappear. YANSA did not know where they would go other than into that human building. He and his brothers and sisters had used this area for many moons to graze and bed down.



The humans had come here and stood up wire things that he and the herd could not get through. This had cut off there grazing area where the sweet grass grew so they had to find good grass further to the open plains. The large trees with the white snow falling from them where they would bed down at night were lost to them also when the wire things went up. The humans came and built their buildings and put some small thing up that only one human could be in. Every so often two humans would come from the building and walk around the perimeter of the wire. They would have a poor creature on some tie thing around its neck and it would speak in a very angry voice to him and his herd. Some nights it would just whimper and act like it was dragging the humans along. He and IINIWA had moved toward the ravine steadily grazing and came to the top of the last hill. They both stood there and looked down at the bird. It just sat there and they could see humans inside its belly. YANSA had been told to approach this creature and speak to the humans.

As Kevin sat starring in wonder at the Prairie dogs Kristyl had gotten up and went to get something to munch on. She asked Kevin if he wanted anything and when He did not answer she turned around and froze as she saw the Prairie dogs standing out side the front of the chopper. Carolyne and Bill had been having a conversation about how they were going to approach the guard station and get into the bunker. They both felt the vibration and stopped and looked at the Prairie dogs also. As they all were looking, Kevin said in a hushed voice, “I think they are waiting for us to say something to them” Bill said “how can they see us and how do they even know we are here?” Kristyl said “the same way that Honovi could see us. I don’t think this dispance cloak works with our animal brothers and sisters.” As they sat there YANSA and IINIWA came down the hill and walked up to the front and stopped. Everyone in the chopper heard in their minds as YANSA began to speak “I was told to come here and tell you where to come so you can get into the wired place. We have been around it since before it existed and know its ways. I was also told that when you are done in that place that we would have our grazing areas and favorite bedding places restored. The pictures in their minds showed them everything. Nantan had been waiting for a chance to speak and after YANSA had spoke his mind was loosened. He told the humans that he and his Coterie had to relocate also from that place. He and some brethren have dug down and actually had run into something that was like rock. They had undermined the entrance to the human cave and when a human had tripped into the tunnels they had put some kind of bad food into the tunnels so he and his brethren stopped going their. They had tunneled all around the human cave and ran across round metal objects. They did not know what they were but the smell was enough to stay away from them. One of our brother’s spirits passed into the great spirits realm after eating what those humans put into the tunnels. Nantan began to plant into their minds all the locations of the round metal things. Bill spoke to YANSA and told him that they would come to the spot where he would be and he also thanked Nantan for the information and told them all that they would soon get their places back from the humans that had taken it from them. The Prairie dogs all dropped to all fours and scurried back to their burrows. YANSA and IINIWA both turned and headed back up the hill.

Bill sat on the bench in the back of the cabin and reached out to Samuel with his mind. He told him and all on the chopper in Montana that they were prepared to enter the bunker in North Dakota. They would be at the site in about 30 minute’s time. Samuel had spoke back in the mind and said they were moving to their first target and it would take them around the same amount of time to get there. All was prepared and every body buckled up and Kevin lifted the chopper and once up high enough he pushed forward and they flew towards the spot that had been planted in their minds by YANSA. While in the air Kristyl said “we could run into some problems here and all of us must know how to handle this. We just found out proof positive that animals are not affected by the dispance cloak. They can see us no matter what. We know that these guards have dogs so as we go in behind you two if those dogs are at the guard station they will bark. If we make it into the elevator and out into the corridors and those dogs are down there they will bark.” Carolyne spoke and said “I will use the control technique and calm the dogs as we move forward.” She spoke to Kristyl in her mind only and said “I gave you the technique because either one of us may be separated so you will protect Kevin as I will protect Bill. Both men shook their heads together and said perhaps we should try and avoid the dogs as best as possible. Kevin said “Kristyl and I can hang back if a dog is at the gate shack and use our jet belts to fly over and to the Quonset building and mind talk to meet at the door way.” That seemed like a good idea to Bill so that conversation shelved itself for now.

Kevin brought the chopper in over the park area to see if anyone was camping. This time of year the park had been closed for the winter months so it was empty. It had not snowed yet but the air was a nice 16 degrees F. As he was coming low to land at the spot where YANSA was grazing he noticed a military vehicle traveling through the park on its way to the bunker. He brought the chopper to a hover and waited for the skimmer to pass under them. As it went by he slowly followed it. As the skimmer went through the end of the park and onto the government refuge he swung up and over the cottonwoods and hovered over the top of the building. They were fortunate. The guard post had 1 man but no dog. The skimmer pulled up to the gate and the guard let them into the area beyond. As they continued to watch the car pulled into a well concealed area and three people crawled out. The pilot opened his hatch and crawled out and one of the back doors opened and an officer got out and had a hold of some kind of line as something unrecognizable crawled out. The creature stopped and looked up into the sky. It gazed around for a short space and then the officer pulled cruelly on the line and it moved off towards the Quonset building, all the while looking around and over its shoulder into the air. Once they all entered the building Kevin swung the chopper southwards toward the herd of buffalo. They were beyond the fence line a few hundred yards and YANSA was standing on the other side of some huge cottonwoods. He slowly lowered the chopper and set it down so if it was uncloaked it could not be seen from the guard station. He cut the rotor and every one gathered what gear they needed and Bill opened the hatch and they all hopped out. Once on the ground every body cloaked. Bill stood on the leeward side of the chopper and gazed around. He activated his jet belt and flew up and towards the entrance to the government refuge. He scouted it well and came back. Once on the ground again he spoke in the mind and said we are going to need one of the skimmers preferable one with a 2 star generals emblem on it. Carolyne thought for a few moments and said “I know where we can get one.” She looked at Kevin and Kristyl and told them to wait close to the guard house and if a dog showed up they must hide them selves until Bill and she arrived in the car. “Our original plan has changed. We are going to get you both outfitted with military uniforms. Give me your sizes.” Both of them did and her and Bill moved off towards the entrance to the refuge. Kevin and Kristyl moved to the location where they could watch the guard post without being spotted by a dog,

When Bill and Carolyne reached the edge of the park and the entrance to the government refuge, Carolyne opened up a portal to a car pool at West Point. Her and Bill stepped through and searched the large garage for the car that they needed. When the found it Carolyne climbed into the cockpit and goofed with the on switches. The skimmer began to warm up and as soon as it was ready she climbed out and opened a portal to the clothes lockers for uniforms and rifled through until she found the ones that she would need for Kevin and Kristyl. She opened the portal once more back to the skimmer and placed the uniforms in the back seat. She climbed back into the cockpit and motioned to Bill and Mind talked to him to open the portal to the refuge. He opened it and made sure it was big enough to drive the skimmer through. He climbed into the back seat and Carolyne moved the skimmer through the portal. A portal opened in the middle of the road and the skimmer drove through and stopped on the road. Bill and Carolyne both hoped out and Carolyne mind talked to Kevin and Kristyl telling both of them to fly over to their position. A few minutes later Kevin and Kristyl landed next to the skimmer. Carolyne told both of them to get in and dress in the uniforms. She told Kevin to dress in the lieutenant’s uniform and he would be driving the skimmer from here. Kristyl would dress in the Majors uniform and she would be riding in the back with her and Bill. She told all of them that when they reached the guard post to follow Kevin’s lead and told him what to say. “Everybody put your jet belts back on under the jackets and all the other tools you will put in these pockets.”

Sergeant Devin Lockwell had been assigned to this post a year ago. He had served in the Army for almost 3 years and had hoped to be stationed near his family in Missouri. He was stationed at Fort Bragg when he received news that his family had been murdered by terrorists. The news had left him devastated. He began to research the terrorist actions and what he had been told by his superiors when a close friend of his told him that the police had actually killed his entire family because his dad had been caught giving information to the local underground cell. He had been transferred here after a very bad reprimand from his superiors telling him that he could be branded a traitor for questioning his family’s death. Since being stationed here he had seen the grotesque creatures that were being experimented on. He had also witnessed the deadly weapons that were being created to be used on the American people. He had been planning his escape to the underground for months now but had to wait for the right time. The dogs had been experimented on and turned into something that seemed like a nightmare. He had always liked dogs but these creatures did not even come close to being mans best friend. He had found one in the pens below that had not been turned and took care of her. He kept her away from the others and no one suspected anything. His thoughts were on how he would escape and take Shiska with him when the 2 star generals’ car pulled up to the gate. He saw the brass and opened the gate partially.

As Kevin pulled the car up to the gate, the guard stood for a moment and then opened it just enough for him to walk through. Carolyne had been reading this mans mind and found him to be willing to leave this place and come to the light. The guard approached the skimmer and asked for them to roll their window down. Carolyne rolled the back window down and said “good morning sergeant, we are here to inspect this facility per orders from the emperor.” Devin did what guards are supposed to do and asked for their ID’s. Carolyne spoke into his mind and told him that he could leave this nightmare and find good people full of love if he wanted to. She produced some ID at the same time. Devin looked at her with a surprised expression and took the ID. He was thinking about what the Colonel had said to him in his mind and thought about Shiska. Carolyne then told him that he could bring the sweet animal with him if he so choose to leave. He placed his rifle on the ground and said “what do I have to do?” Carolyne exited the car and took hold of him. “Where is Shiska at this point?” He thought of the pen she was in and the level of the bunker. Carolyne opened a portal and Devin looked in the pen and called Shiska, She jumped up and saw him standing through a hole. She ran and jumped through and landed in his arms. Carolyne closed the portal. She turned and opened a portal to the Garden and told Devin to step into it and ask for Joanna or Christine or Sarah and they would take care of him and Shiska.

He held Shiska for a moment and set her down and walked back to the guard station and opened the gate fully. He then walked back and picked up Shiska and stepped into the Garden. The portal closed and Carolyne climbed back into the car and Kevin drove it through, stopped got out and closed the gate. He then drove to the place where the other skimmer was and they all got out and headed for the Quonset building. They all had to walk a narrow path to the door to avoid the mine fields. Entering the door they all saw the elevator entrance and moved to it. The doors opened and they entered the car. The only indicator on the panel was depth to the first floor below the ground level. It read 500 feet after that there were 5 more floors or levels. They decided to go to the lowest level and start from there. Kristyl punched the button that said level 5 and they dropped into the pits of hell.

58 LASERS AND LOBOTOMIES

Sergeant Swamprat pulled the skimmer into the secret parking area just out side the cavern entrance to the bunker. The road to this place was a dirt road that curved down the mountain side and leveled for a short distance before a steep grade took it down the mountain further. The cavern was on the side of the mountain and no one bothered to enter it under penalty of death as the signs showed that it was a dangerous old gold mine and subject to cave ins. Any civilians that had entered it were never seen or heard from again and it garnished the name of a superstitious Old Indian name that spelled death to anyone that may enter it. From the outside the cavern looked like it had caved in on one side and the other had brush growing over the entrance. The path into the cavern entered through the brush and opened up on the other side. One had to trek about 100 yards into the cave to reach an elevator door that took personnel to the floor levels below. Colonel Bullnutt had noticed the two brown bears grazing in the small meadow across the road and mentioned that once the laser rifle had been assembled they would bring it up here after the test had been accomplished below and use it on these bears. He had seen them in that meadow so many times before and he was tired of them being there. It seemed that they were watching every thing, so he was going to end it and they would make a perfect test for the weapon. They continued to the elevator doors and descended into their perfect hole of darkness.

Samuel had taken the chopper up the mountain and crossed over the old lodge and caught the mountain road down to the cave entrance to the bunker. They had seen the skimmer pull into its perfect hiding place and watched the Military brass walk to the cave entrance and disappear. He sat the chopper down close to where Kuruk was standing and grazing. The bear moved towards them and continued to walk past and as he did he said that 3 very evil humans had just entered the cave with light and they should be made to go away. Samuel spoke into Kuruk’s mind and thanked him and said that they would see about making them go away from here. Mary looked at every body and asked if they were ready. They said yes and stood up. Samuel spoke up and said hold on a minute; let’s go over this once more. We are all cloaked and will remain that way through out this mission. Everybody get a good look at where this bird sits.

If anything goes south and I mean anything you will open a portal and come here immediately is that understood? Every one shook their heads in agreement. Okay once we are in that elevator and going down an alarm is probably going to sound down below. I suspect that there is some sort of reader to notify the guards below of who is in the elevator. So once we hit bottom and the doors open they are going to be ready for anyone that they see. Well they aren’t going to see anyone so we will have only a few seconds to send these people to another realm. He pulled his Time machine gizmo and spun the front dial to sometime in the past. Because we are limited in time with these people we will not have time to check their minds for good or bad. So I am going to send them to a place where we can go later and check. Okay, once we are in the lowest level, Jonathan and Samantha will search the labs for experiments and research. You know what to do when you find any of this stuff. They both shook their heads up and down. Mary and I will guard the corridors and make sure no one interferes with our progress. I want everyone here to know that the dispance cloak does not stop bullets or any other kind of weapon discharge. So be very weary about someone shooting randomly. These people have been known to do that sort of thing. We are not totally sure of what is down there so when we get to the bottom and out we start mind searching. That should lead us to something.

There is another thing that we have to be very aware of. If they have any dogs down there they will be able to see us and start barking. So we must avoid any place that may have them. Everyone was well aware and they all moved to the hatch Mary opened it quickly and they all jumped to the ground and she shut it just as quickly. As they were preparing to move out across the road Sikyahonaw approached them and said we will guard the entrance so if any of the humans try to escape we will keep them from doing that. Mary walked over and gave him a big hug. He looked at her with big eyes and it seemed that he smiled at her. They all walked across the road and to the cave and went inside. The elevator doors were locked but Samuel pulled something from his vest and jimmied a panel open and pulled a wire loose. The doors opened and they all piled in and hit the button for the lowest floor level. In the distance an alarm began to sound.

When they stopped at the lowest level, they waited for the doors to open. When they did there were two guards standing in front with there rifles at the ready. They looked totally surprised when the doors opened and no one was in the car. One of them came forward to look up at the ceiling. That is when Samuel transferred both of them into the past. He had sent them back to the year 1921 to an Island in the south pacific. He knew the island had not been discovered yet so it would be safe for the men for now. They all climbed out of the elevator and sent it back up to the cave far above. The alarms were still ringing. Two more guards ran down the corridor towards the elevator shaft but came up short when the doors were closed and no one was there. They turned around and one walked to a wall com and called the guard station on the uppermost level. Someone answered and said no one had stopped the elevator at this level. In fact the elevator was stopped at the cave far above and not moving. They heard him saying that a malfunction could have happened and the damn elevator just operated on its own. Both guards then turned and went back up the corridor. Samuel and Mary waited until they had rounded a corner and disappeared before they moved out with Jonathan and Samantha. They began to search the doors that were in the corridor. Most of them were just storage rooms with nothing more than cleaning supplies and electronic gear parts. They had walked about 100 feet down the corridor and inspected 10 doors with nothing more than supplies when they turned the corner and came to double doors across the corridor.
