Mary peered through the small glass windows into the corridor beyond. She saw a rather short corridor with two more doors at the end and they had large bolts across them. In between were 4 doors two on each side of the corridor. She did not see any guards in the corridor. She thought she heard screaming or something coming from the doors that were bolted. She also heard dogs barking maybe behind one of the doors. She relayed all this to everyone and they pushed through the doors. The first thing that stopped them was the horrendous smell. As they were standing just inside the corridor from the double doors a guard came from the first door and walked to the furthest door on the other side and opened it. He stood there and shouted into the room and told the barking dogs to shut up. The dogs quit barking and all they could hear were dogs whining. The guard shut the door and walked back to the door he had come from and slammed it on his way in.

Samuel walked to the door that the guard had went in and looked through the small wired glass window. There were four guards in the room. They were sitting around playing some game or something he could not be sure. He telepathically entered there minds to see if any one was looking for a way out. He immediately recoiled and backed out. These men had been tampered with and their minds were locked in death thoughts. They had no humanity to them other than they looked like humans. It was as if their souls/spirits had been stripped from the material flesh. Mary could read his thoughts and both thought to move these creatures away. Samuel opened the door and when he did the creatures all looked up and started to reach for their weapons. Samuel and Mary both bathed them in the blue light of the time machine gizmos and they disappeared. As they reappeared, a couple of very large tyrannosaur’s turned and moved towards them. They all tried to run but were snatched up and became food in the Jurassic era. After dispatching the human like creatures that were the guards down here, Samuel moved to the door across the corridor from the guard post and opened it. All he found in it was a large wash room with floor showers. It reminded him of old photos he had seen when he was a kid of the showers in the concentration camps of a world war back in the 20th century. He shut that door and moved across the corridor to the next door, when he opened it Jonathan peered in and said this is an R&D Lab. He turned to Samantha and they both entered and began searching the materials. What they found made both of them sick. They began to pile it all up in the middle of the lab. Once everything they could find was stacked up they used the space setting on the time gizmo and sent it all into the sun. On the sun in a very small area there was a brief flash and no one even noticed.

The next two doors were waiting for an opening and discovery. Mary knew that the first one held dogs or so she though. They had all heard the barking noise and thought that was what they were going to find. When Samuel opened the door they all peered in and became violently sick. These were dogs or parts of them. These creatures had been genetically modified and had parts of humans grafted to them. Some had human faces or even heads and some had human arms and hands others were mostly dogs but it was hard to tell with the eyes and ears of humans grafted.

They all began to bark or try to talk when the door had been opened. Samuel pushed everyone out and shut the door locking it securely. He moved to the end doors that were bolted. Each door had a small window in it. He was afraid to look in but gritted his teeth and looked anyway. It was dark so he could not see anything. He backed away and did not want to open the doors. Samantha had been standing just behind everyone and had a suspicion of what was in that room. She saw a light switch on the wall just to the right of the doors and walked over and flipped it. The inside of the room lit up and something bounce against the doors. Jonathan walked over to peer through the glass when a half human half dog face peered out at them. It was trying to say something but they could not verbally hear it. Mary had heard something in her mind and reached into the room with her thoughts. The mass confusion and pain was almost too much to bear. She used her mind control technique and told them all to set in the center of the room and she would relieve them of their pain and suffering.

Once she heard the quiet and some thought that they were ready she asked Samuel to open the doors. He unbolted them with trepidation. Mary had told them all what was in the room and they all must set their time machine gizmos for space and send these poor souls into the sun also. When they opened the doors all the creatures were setting in a circle and looking at them. The mercy was all they could do at the moment and sent them all to the end of their suffering. The room stank so bad that Samuel shut the doors while retching. Mary asked about the other creatures and Samuel told here that they would be buried under the mountain when they made it settle. They all moved away and towards the elevator shaft. They all had tears in their eyes as they moved closer to the doors. The waves of feelings rushing through their bodies had made them all stop and hug each other in a group. The cruelty and evil that had done the things to these animals and people was unforgivable. The elevator doors stood in front of them as they all cried for the souls/spirits of what was found.

Colonel Bullnutt along with lieutenant leavit and sergeant Swamprat exited the elevator on the second level. This was where the entire R&D was being done with the Particle laser rifles and he wanted to deliver the parts to complete the project as soon as possible. The 1st level was all the living quarters for the personnel and the third level was where the bad experiments had gone wrong. That level was to be avoided as much as possible. The creatures that were the guards had not seen daylight for 2 years and they would only be used in the upcoming overthrow of Montana. The other things down there he intended to test his new toy on when it got assembled.

After they all had felt the pain and fears of the creatures, Samuel, Mary, Jonathan and Samantha gathered at the elevator door. They had planned to use their jet belts to fly up the shaft to level two and take care of it and then go to level one last before setting the mountain in motion to bury this place. The doors opened and Samuel stepped in and looked up the shaft. It was very dark and he suspected that the shaft may be 1000 feet or more to the top. They all stepped into the shaft and activated the jet belts. They held each others hands as they slowly rose towards the next level. One hundred feet or so they came to the closed elevator doors of the second level. Mary pushed her mind thoughts through the doors to the corridor beyond. Just on the other side of the doors was two guards. Beyond them the corridor was empty of mind thought. However she could read a cacophony of thoughts coming from rooms or something not affiliated with the corridor. She relayed all this to the group. Samuel mentioned that they would have to manually open the doors. They were all talking telepathically to one another and had been doing that since they cloaked themselves so no one could here their voices as they conversed. Samantha knew something about these elevators from her experience in the first bunker where Bill and Carolyne had liberated them. She knew that there was a hatch above the doors that could be accessed from the ceiling in the corridor in case the elevator car became inoperable. She relayed this to everybody. Samuel moved up to the wall above the doors and found the hatch. It was about 36” square. He told everyone to set their time machine gizmos to the space he designated. He was going through the hatch and see about clearing the corridor. He would open the doors from the corridor side as soon as it was safe but they all needed to be ready for safety.

Samuel studied the hatch door for a way to open it without making noise. He knew that it had latches on the other side but could see no way to get at them from the shaft side. This was going to have to be one of those moments when levitation came in handy. He could see the latch bottoms through the screen on this side and pointed a finger at the bottom one and shifted his finger while thinking and the latch began to turn to the side. He continued this until all four latches had been turned so the hatch literally fell out towards him. He grabbed it and transferred it to Jonathan below him. Jonathan grabbed it and held on to it. Samuel slid into the hatchway and turned his jet belt off so he could slide along the duct shaft. He came to a ceiling hatch and saw light shinning up into the duct. He moved quietly to the edge and peeked down into the corridor. He could not see the guards but he did notice a panel just to his right. It had a red light that was blinking on and off. There was a switch just below the light with the wording “ALARM OFF/ON” he reached over and switched the alarm off and the red light went dark. He could see the latches for this hatch and they worked from both sides. He began to open them and heard one of the guards talking.

59 A COAL MINE IN WEST VIRGINIA 2

Christine had spent a wonderful early morning breakfast around the campfire in the living room with everyone. They had talked about the dreamers that were gathering in larger numbers around the world and the news of children planting gardens. Christine had finally said that she had to go back to the haven and after hugging every body she opened a portal and stepped into the garden. Mark. Jim and Lionhawk all went out to the cars and after going to the plane Mark had retrieved the additional dispance cloaks and stealth gear and they began to install them into the cars. Lionhawk wanted to test them once they were installed and was amazed. He felt so much safer and reassured that these would protect Shadowself and Maria as they delivered the information to their friends. The two women had come out and they all tried the Jet belts out by flying around. Once everyone felt confident with the belts and other gear Shadowself and Maria placed the copied material in one of the cars, activated the cloak and stealth gear and left for their destinations. They were expected to be gone a good part of the day.

The men entered the shop and examined Lionhawk’s sword and his handy work with woods and such. He had built all of the cabinetry and bookcases and other furniture in the house. He had built the house a while back and the dome was a special structure that he had come up with. The material had been invented by a young person around 2024 and had been used as windows and such since then. It was some type of transparent aluminum the best Lionhawk could figure and was virtually indestructible once formed into a useable shape. They all split logs and cut down some old dead trees on the property to create more logs. Lionhawk had built a fairly good sized roof structure to store wood under so they just added the logs after splitting to the already large pile. It had become late in the afternoon when they decided to go inside and set around the fire. They all had snacked on some delicious fruits and vegetables and were talking about the mission into the bunker when Shadowself and Maria came through the kitchen doors with fresh coffee. Maria helped Shadowself carry everything over and they sat and drink some really good tasting coffee. Lionhawk had gotten up and gave Shadowself a big hug and kiss and said he missed her. Mark did the same with Maria and the women told them all about the journey to the underground locations and how they all went bonkers over the information that was given. The internet 2.2 became quite busy and people started moving things quickly. Shadowself told them that on their way back they had seen large movements of military equipment and vehicles headed towards the north and west. It all seemed more than usual so something was in the air. When curfew had sounded the streets were really crowded with vehicles and the choppers seemed to be busier than usual also. As she was telling about all of this a portal opened and some food carts rolled onto the living room floor. Christine stepped through and asked if anyone was hungry. Lionhawk jumped up and walked up the steps and smelled the delicious food and began to fill a plate. Everyone else did the same and all sat around a warm fire and ate a very heart warming meal with good conversation.

The next morning, Mark had gotten up and went to the plane to warm it up. The little plane could hold 6 people comfortably but one space had been utilized with the new computer and other gear needed to make this bird work the way it was now. After a good hearty breakfast they all headed out the door for the plane. Buster had been mind communicated with and new what he was supposed to do while they were away. The mission had been discussed over breakfast. Lionhawk would be meeting two other lion warriors and they would be guarding the team and fighting off the dark creatures as the two women and Jim searched for the experiments and research to get rid of. They all had been filled in on the possible things they might find in this black pit. It was said that at some time in the past when the miners were digging deeper and deeper that they opened a cavern that had a very black thing and a lot of them lost their lives until this had been caved in and the mining stopped moving in that direction. This all happened back in the 1920’s and the mines were closed off in this particular area. It was discovered in 1973 that the Congress of the US INC had opened this mine back up unknown to the people and created a secret city where they could all escape a nuclear holocaust if one came. It was not known or had been forgotten about what had been unleashed in the 20’s and then buried.

Arie had mind spoke with Mark about where to land the plane, Him and Chephirah had been watchers for quite a while now and had seen humans come and go. Always the mountain side would slide just enough to allow a few humans to enter or exit. The metal beasts they came in would hide in an area just to the upper thick trees from their position. Mark had a clear picture in his mind of a dirt road to the south east of the opening and brought the plane into a smooth landing. He taxied to an area that he could get the plane off the road into a clearing. He parked the plane so it would be facing towards the road and shut the engine down leaving the dispance cloak on as well as the stealth gear. Lionhawk had been holding his sword and everyone else including him began to clip the gear to their fatigues. Thanks to Carolyne they all had them on. They waited for a safe moment and exited the plane. Once they were standing outside, Lionhawk placed his sword on his back in its scabbard. It was situated such that he could grab it and pull it out with his right hand or left hand which ever one was most convenient to him. They each had the time machine gizmos strapped to the clips on the fatigues and Maria had given them the Bluegreen lifesavers spray containers.

They all started to walk towards the opening in the mountain when Arie and Chephirah walked through some brush and stopped in front of them. Maria walked to Aria and hugged him and then Chephirah. Lionhawk stood starring at both of them. His dream was real. Arie and Chephirah both padded over to him and stood on their hind legs and wrapped their front paws around him. They both bumped the sides of their heads to his. The smile on his face shined as he hugged them. “My brother and sister, I have seen you in my dreams and here you are” we will stand together this day in spirit and flesh. Both lions dropped down and sat back on their haunches. Shadowself walked over and stood next to Lionhawk. Chephirah stood and moved to her and spoke into her mind. You are this warrior’s mate and you will be protected as well as the others today. The journey will be dark and hard. You have been on these journeys before in your distant past but today you will not be thrown down and with that she stood up on her hind legs and seemed to hug Shadowself. She rubbed the side of her head against Shadowself’s face and her whiskers tickled Shadowself, She giggled and rubbed her face against Chephirah. The beautiful cat dropped down and set back once again.

Jim spoke in his mind to Arie. Do you have a way to get in the mountain? Arie spoke and said yes but it is not where the mountain slides open. We must go around the side over this way and Arie turned his head to look the direction they all had to go. Both lions started padding off towards the southwestern area of the hill side. Everyone followed and they walked for around 300 yards before the lions stopped and set down on their haunches again. In front of them was a round concrete structure with a lid and air vents on the sides. It stuck out of the ground about 6 feet or so and was painted a camouflage green and tan. If one was not standing directly in front of it the concrete shaft could not be seen. Mark took one look and said, “Ah, an air vent” he walked up to it and examined it. He wanted to know how to remove the lid. Lionhawk and Jim came over and they all began to shift the lid. It was quite heavy but they managed to move it enough that at least one human could get in. Jim looked into the dark and took out a small flash light and shined it down the hole. There was a steel ladder down the side but he could not tell how far it went down before a landing might be. The only thing they could do at this point is send someone down to explore. Lionhawk volunteered to scout down the hole. Mark said he could do it and would go down far enough to see if there was a level area and where they might go from there. Arie spoke in their minds and said Chephirah and I have been inside the mountain where it moves sideways we went in one time when the mountain moved and no one went in and no one came out. When we got in we found that there was a box just a little ways in. there were bright lights and we heard human mind thoughts inside the box. We hurried back out and soon after that the mountain moved and closed. There is one other place that we have seen humans go into and come out of. They have taken the metal monsters into that opening. There is a wall inside the cave that opens and closes.

They all looked at each other and said “that is a vehicle entrance and may be our best way into this place.” Jim asked Arie to show them that particular entrance. Arie told them that it would take another time to walk there. The all agreed to at least investigate the third entrance so they trekked off toward the west and the walk was down hill all the way. 30 minutes later they came to a mound of some sort and Arie told them that the entrance was on the other side of this little hill. Lionhawk walked up to the mound and lay down on the bank and shimmied up to look over the edge. Peering over he saw the cave or tunnel entrance that had been concreted and looked like a square. It could not be seen from the air because it was set back into the cliff side and trees surrounded the entire place. He saw the road or what might be a road coming from the entrance. It actually looked like a grassy meadow. He heard a noise of a car or truck and ducked down. The noise grew louder and when he peeked back up over the edge a military troop carrier came out of the cave and headed straight into the tree line. The vehicle left no tire tracks as it moved into the trees. He noticed a swath of openness in the trees and saw what looked like a road. The vehicle disappeared, he turned around and waved at everyone to stay low and then disappeared over the edge. Shadowself started to say something but Lionhawk spoke in her mind and said I will be back I must see if this is a way into the bunker. She spoke back and told him to be very careful.

Lionhawk moved with a fluid motion and entered the tunnel entrance and found a column jutting out that he could hide behind. The tunnel appeared to go back about 100 feet before he saw the big steel doors. As he looked closer he saw a man door to the left of the steel doors in the side of the tunnel. There were small red lights blinking on and off all along the top of the steel doors. He moved over to the side of the tunnel that the man door was on and slowly inched his way up to the door. It was about 20 feet from the big steel doors. He examined it closely and figured that it was going to be their only way into this pit. He looked closer at the door and noticed it had the old time lock system that actual took a key. He figured there would be an alarm system on it. As he was scoping the tunnel for more information he noticed a grill above the man door. It was on the wall about 12 feet about the floor. It looked like it might be an air ventilation vent; he filed that away for an entrance access and started to move back out. He got to another column jutting out and heard the steel doors start to open. He dove behind the column and waited. The doors opened up and two transports rolled out. As they drove by, Lionhawk felt a cold chill up his spine. He was watching and saw the first vehicle pass by and it had a black aura around it. The tunnel had light spilling in from the front entrance but this vehicle moved with a hazy black cloud surrounding it. The second vehicle was similar. He shrank into the crevice of the column as far as he could while these things drove by and out the front. When they exited the tunnel he could still see the blackness around them. When they had driven into the forest and disappeared he saw Arie jump down the bank and his eyes were full of blue light. Lionhawk then remembered his dream and took his sword out and it was shinning very brightly. The big steel doors clanged shut and spooked him. He ran out and joined Arie and they both climbed the bank and disappeared on the other side.

60 UNDER THE COTTONWOODS

As the elevator dropped all of their stomachs rose to the position in their throats. The car felt like it had just fallen and they were going to be squashed at the bottom. Kristyl watched the levels zoom by as they descended and then the car slowed and stopped. Their stomachs fell back with a thunk and they waited for the door to open. They were prepared to react to any guards but when the door opened the corridor was completely dark except for some red lights close to the ceiling. Kevin stepped out and almost tripped. He had to step down. Apparently the elevator did not go all the way to the floor level. When he stepped down his boots splashed into water. He flashed his light into the corridor and it had water all over the floor. The walls were cracked and water was leaking into the corridor. There were sounds of water running and he thought he saw holes in the floor as his light shone down the corridor. He climbed back into the elevator and Kristyl closed the door. She pushed the button for the next level and the elevator again shot up this time. For a short space their stomachs fell into their legs then the elevator stopped abruptly. This time when the door opened the corridor was still dark but the sound of water was not to be heard. Kevin shinned his flashlight at the floor and down the corridor this time. He stepped out of the car and walked the corridor. All the doors had been bolted over with heavy bars. As he walked further he came to the end of the corridor. It was only about 50 feet or so from the elevator. He turned and headed back to the car. Once there he told them what he saw. “This level appears to have been abandoned also, no telling what is behind those doors but the corridor is not very long.” They closed the door and punched the button for the level above.

Another very quick rush and stop that made all of them bend at the knees brought them to level three. This time when the door opened they saw two guards sitting at desks about 20 feet from the elevator door. Directly behind was a heavy wired wall structure with a locked door gate. The corridor ran for about 100 feet or so and ended into a solid granite wall. When the guards looked at them, their eyes were solid black and there was no expression on their faces. The one on the right began to salute while the one on the left continued to fiddle with something at his desk. Carolyne had reached into their minds only to find that both of them had been brainwashed for so long that they could hardly even comprehend a simple word such as hello. She stepped forward and said in a commanding voice “ATTENTION!!!” Neither one even acknowledged that command but rather the one standing and starting to salute dropped his hand and sat back down. She knew it would be hopeless to get these two to obey or even respond. When she read their minds she did see a simple command to attack had been programmed in and that was triggered by a very simple response such as a return salute. The first guard had tried to trigger that response. They both had their weapons close at hand and the one that tried to salute had his in his hands. She also read a response of program to control these two and used it on them. She spoke “dog bone” and both men leaned back in their chairs and their eyes closed and they were asleep just like that. She walked over picked the weapons up and handed them to Bill. He took his TM gizmo and sent the weapons to the caverns below. Carolyne picked up some keys and tried them until she found the one that unlocked the gate. She thought to send these two to a very good place where they would fit right in but knew they would not wake up until the another key word was given. The military had used these men for fodder in their nasty little control experiments and it made her sick to know that this was happening all over. She told everyone what was going on and to just be on alert.

They all walked through the gate and down the corridor. Even though this corridor was 100 feet long there were only 4 doors in the entire length. The first one just inside the fence wall was a restroom with showers. Directly across the corridor was sleeping quarters with a kitchen. At the end of the corridor were two doors one on the left side and one on the right side. Carolyne opened the first door and the cacophony of barking made her back up. They all walked into the room and it was considerable in size. It was full of cages with dogs in each one. This was where she had opened a portal through Devin’s mind and retrieved Shiska. She began to search minds to find dogs that had not been experimented on and found 7 more in cages. They were being slowly starved to death and she could hear their pain and suffering. Carolyne began to wonder through the cages and as she came across the poor dogs she stopped and opened the cage doors and brought the dog out and opened the portal to the garden and pushed them through. Devin had been told by Sarah that more of the little brothers would be coming and they had facilities to take care of them. Carolyne kept finding the sick ones and pushing them into the garden. When there were none left she stopped and stood quietly for a few minutes.

The rest of these creatures she felt sorry for but they all had been experimented on and transformation had made them all killers. Their eyes were a deep black and had small red pupils. The teeth had been expanded into thick long canines and the other teeth resembled Piranha mouths. The brains of these creatures only thought about killing and blood. She and Kristyl both were full of tears at what the military had done with dogs and humans. It appeared that all they could experiment on was dogs and humans. The sickness had been ingrained in the power hungry brass and it had to stop soon. She turned with Kristyl and they walked out of the room. Bill and Kevin set the TM Gizmos and sent these things to a place that their souls/spirits might be redeemed. They walked from the room and locked the door. The women had entered the room across the corridor and discovered it was a lab of considerable size and stock. Both of them had begun to send it all to the sun for destruction. When Bill and Kevin walked in most of the room had been cleaned. They all searched for any loose ends and when that was found it was sent away. When they left the room and locked it they headed back to the elevator. Carolyne locked the fenced gate and took mercy on the two guards. She set her time machine for the year 1894 and a mental facility on an island off of the Georgia coast called Jekyll island and sent these two there. She did not use the word to wake them up. They all entered the elevator, shut the door and pushed the button for the next level up.

61 THE MINES OF GEROU AND LASERS

Corporal Harry Johansson had been stationed in the mines of Gerou, as most here referred to this bunker, for almost 8 months and the duty of guarding this level had become so monotonous it made him sick. He had gotten leave only once since being here and it was only to go to that lodge up on the mountain. He had been to the lowest level twice now and it gave him the creeps both times. The guards down there did not seem like human beings and they would not talk to anyone but themselves. The things in the rooms at the end of the corridor were the spookiest thing he had ever heard. He never got to look or see them but from what he had heard, he did not want to ever see them. He and Private Jack billings were bivouacked above on level one but they had to come here to do the duty of guarding the elevator shaft. He could never figure that out but it was not up to him to question the orders. There was a guard quarters down here but they did other duties. He had talked privately with Jack about getting out of the Army and doing something that was more conducive to humanity than destruction of freedoms and creativity. He also knew that the scientists down here were working on some very deadly weapons and it had leaked out on what these weapons were and what they would be used for. The arrival of the Colonel and his lieutenant this morning had confirmed that something was happening today that had to do with that Laser weapon.

After listening to the Corporal talk and reading his mind Samuel determined that he had a chance to get everyone into the corridor. He finished twisting the latches and slowly lifted the hatch. He was now free to drop into the corridor but still was not completely sure of the guards. He reached out and talked with them in their minds to feel the reaction. Harry and Jack both stood very still at their posts and asked questions in their minds. Samuel answered and told them that he could get them out now if they so chose. Harry had been waiting for just such a chance and to his surprise Jack had been waiting also. They both turned and looked up at the hatchway in the ceiling and spoke very softly, whoever you are you can come down and we will cooperate. Samuel dropped from the ceiling and stood in front of them. Neither one of them could see him and he had his time machine gizmo set to place them into the garden. In their minds he told them that when they entered the place he would send them to, they needed to talk with Sarah or Christine. Both guards leaned their weapons up against the corridor walls and waited for this man to do what he said he would do. Samuel pressed the button and a portal of sorts opened in front of them and he said step into that garden you see. Both stepped through and the portal closed. Samuel walked to the elevator doors and opened them. Everyone floating in the shaft stepped into the corridor. He walked over to the rifles leaning on the wall and picked them up and walked back to the shaft. He made sure the weapons did not have any rounds in them and dropped them down the shaft. He waited until he heard them clatter at the bottom and then closed the doors. Jonathan had lifted up and replaced the hatch in the shaft and Samuel did the same to the ceiling opening. They all began moving down the corridor towards the activity of minds.

Colonel Bullnutt had personally delivered the parts and a chip to the scientist that had resumed this project after the rogues had stolen it and destroyed all the research in Wyoming. This man had actually been smart enough to copy all of the work that had been created by one of those scientists. The Colonel could not remember his name but if that man was ever found he would personally use this weapon set to full function on him. He would take pleasure in seeing that person melt in front of his evil eyes.

Hanz Krieber had been given the project to continue the development of the Particle Laser rifle, after the destruction of the labs and bunker in Wyoming. He had hidden for more than a year and was fortunate to be doing research at a different base when the unfortunate destruction happened. He had copied everything he could from Jonathan Williams before he had left for that other base. The unfortunate part of the whole deal was that Jonathan had left out certain pieces of information that would complete the rifle. After a year in hiding he looked up this Colonel Bullnutt and told him about the rifle. The Colonel had been following the progress of it when it had been destroyed so he was more than happy to take this man and place him in the Gerou bunker in charge of completing the project. It had been 2 years or more with a lot of failures but the man had finally come up with some designs of crucial parts and a state of the art chip that would need to be installed. The bunker at Flaxville was responsible for manufacturing the parts. The bunker in Butte was responsible for the chip. That facility was where the computer geeks did all their experimenting and research. He had been waiting for 3 weeks for Flaxville to get the parts made and another 6 months prior for the geeks to build the chip to his specifications. So when the Colonel showed up this morning he was very excited to finally get to assemble the weapon and give it a trial. All of his other experiments did not turn out very well and quite a few people and animals had been destroyed. One of his closest friends had been blown up when the rifle exploded in his face as he was testing it. Today was going to be the final day of completion. The Colonel had told him that if he did not make this one work he would be replaced and the threat led him to believe that he would not be leaving this facility alive.

He took the parts and walked into the interior lab behind a solid wall of 4 foot thick concrete. In here was a firing range built into the mountain where there had been a mining tunnel at one time. The prototype for the rifle sat in a cradle on a bench. The rifle was only 3.3 feet long and he planned to make a model that was even shorter for better combat maneuverability. It resembled the old style M16 from the 20th century war in Vietnam. The differences were notable. The barrel was all glass or a material that looked like glass but was completely unbreakable in any circumstance. It was the color of gun metal blue and had holes along both sides. It was only 1 inch in diameter so it did resemble a rifle. A stock had been designed for forward grasping and the main frame looked just like the M16. The big difference was where the magazine was supposed to go. It still looked like an ammo magazine once inserted in the rifle but it held all the parts and the chip that the colonel had delivered this morning. This was the only removable part of the weapon and caused the rifle to function as the particle laser. The lever that looked like the switch between semi auto and full auto was now the switch to use for lobotomy only or in the down position for full melting of organic matter. He took the Magazine and split it apart and began installing the parts. Once they had been clipped into place he then took the chip which was the most important part of the entire rifle, without it the rifle was just a toy and did absolutely nothing, and slipped it into its special slot. The chip was about ½” square and had two small prongs at one side to plug into the casement.

The design he had finally come up with was the ideal secret that had insured his safety. He had hid it away in a special place that no one would ever find. Even those geeks at Butte only had a schematic and did not know how the thing had been designed. They did not have the final piece of the chip that made the entire thing work. After the Colonel had delivered everything to him he made sure no one was in the lab to see him attach that part and put it together while he was assembling the other parts. Once all of this was assembled, he jammed the magazine into the bottom slot. There was no priming the weapon other than jamming the magazine into it. Two lights flashed on the side and then became a dull yellow in color. He knew the rifle was ready for test firing. He walked to the bench with the cradle and placed the weapon so that it pointed down range to a place where a target would be stationed. He had rigged the cradle so he could pull the trigger from a safe place located behind a solid steel plate that had a small view port. He did not want a repeat of what had happened to his fellow scientist.

Hanz notified the Colonel that he was ready for test firing and they could bring in the test subject for the first phase. The door to the inner lab/range opened and two guards hauled a half drugged man in and down the range to a place where there were manacles embedded in the wall. They locked his wrists into the bracelets and hurried back. Hanz then remotely aimed his weapon towards the man’s head. He looked up and noticed the man was sergeant Swamprat. He turned toward the Colonel with a question on his face. The Colonel shrugged and said “he was becoming a nuisance and I need a new driver, now shall we get on with this test? Hanz turned and grasped the joy stick with a trigger. He pushed it around until the target crosshairs rested on the sergeant’s forehead. At that moment the sergeant came out of his drug induced condition and looked at where he was. He started yelling and using foul language at the Colonel. Hanz pulled the trigger and a bright reddish yellow beam flashed from the barrel and hit the sergeant square on his forehead. The sergeant froze in the beam and his face went blank. His mouth fell open and drool spilled out. His entire body went limp and his knees buckled as he slid down the wall. His arms were still buckled into the manacles so he hung against the wall. Fluids were leaking from his face and his eyes were moving in circles or so it seemed. The Colonel asked how long it would be before they could be sure this phase worked. Hanz said “we will know within a half an hour or so.” The Colonel told him to call when the time was up and turned and left.

62 A RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA

Michael pulled the suburban off the road and close to the front gate of the base. The guard was sitting in his shack reading a book. As they sat there a military skimmer drove up and the guard looked up and then raised the Guard rail. The skimmer moved through and the Guard rail fell back down across the road. The Guard went back to reading his book. Michael decided that they would have to park in a different area so they could exit the suburban without attracting attention. He pulled the truck around and headed back up the road. While driving to the north on the entrance road to the base he came across a dirt road that turned off and went east through a meadow and seemed to disappear into s small grove of trees. He swung the suburban onto it and drove slowly through the meadow and into the grove of trees. Once in the trees the road wound back towards the south. They all were watching close for a pull off but the road kept going through the trees towards the south. As they kept moving Susanna saw a fence line up ahead and Michael slowed even more as they approached it. The trees were still thick but the road seemed to turn at the fence and head back towards west along the fence line.

They drove along the fence line for a short space and then the road turned back towards the north and wound through the trees. As they followed it the road turned to the west once again and paralleled the fence. Coming to what looked like the end of the tree grove they popped out and there was the guard station about 200 hundred yards in front of them. The fence ran at an angle to the road towards the north and west. The road ended in a turnaround about 50 yards from the edge of the trees. Michael had stopped at the edge of the trees and they all had scoped the terrain and position of the guard post as well as the base on the other side of the fence. Susanna had noticed the large group of choppers resting on the pads just over the fence line and then mentioned the buildings just beyond the chopper field. “Those buildings are where the Generals office is and other administrative offices. Just beyond those to the south is the barracks for all the enlisted men.” Daniel spoke then and said “the main road or drive through there from the Guard entrance runs to the south and leaves the base at the southern entrance. It is around a mile or so to that Guard post and gate.”

Michael had noticed a widened area of the road just before they came to the end of the tree line. He began to back up until he got past it and then moved forward into it. The trees opened here somewhat so he turned back towards the road and backed into a small opening between the trees until he was off the road and could be hidden if the truck did not have the dispance cloak on. They had planed to leave it on as well as the stealth gear. They had seen the choppers flying overhead and searching the areas around the base. “We can use this area to disembark and get back to for Daniel and Theresa. Put this in your minds to open the portal to.” Susanna kept looking at the fence through the only opening they could see and said “We could use the belts to fly over the fence and onto that chopper field so we can fix one. I would think that the closest one to us would be the best.” Michael agreed with that strategy and they talked about how far it was to the little building that had the motors for the road and the elevator to get into the bunker.

“We are going to see how many Policemen they have above ground in the holding cells. The coordination is going to be tight for us. Once we know how many to free above ground we have to also know how many to free from below and give them a way to move with the ones top side. I believe we will have to open the portals to the top from below so those down there will just step into the open next to the prison on top. Theresa, you will use the telepathy in your special way to coordinate these people. The best we can do with all of them is give them truth first and then set them free to do what they will.’ You must tell them where all the choppers are and if we run into any transports give that information to them also. Now, we can’t move all of this until we get rid of the metal things and all of that research. We must see what exactly it is that they have created first in order to remove it. Remember, our goal is to destroy the bad stuff first and then free as many as possible and at the same time collapsing the entire underground bunker. Does everybody got a good picture of that?” Everyone shook there heads in agreement and they all outfitted themselves with the gear.

Michael and Susanna were going to reconstruct the chopper first and once that was done they all would move towards the south area. “Here is a big unknown factor for us all” Theresa said. It is known that the animals can see us when we are cloaked so it these guards are walking around with dogs we will have to be extra careful that we are hidden or we mind talk to these dogs to ignore us. We do not know if these dogs have been altered or not, according to Mary and Carolyne the altered dogs can not be talked to and will come after us no matter what.” Everyone knew the risks with the dogs at this point.

Michael and Susanna had waited until dark and had flown over the fence and landed next to the closest chopper. They had the extra dispance cloak and the newest stealth gear. Michael had also brought the Jet engine box but knew that they could not push it till they refit the structural of the chopper. They made sure that no guards were in the area and boarded the chopper. Once in they completed the upgrades and Susanna took the old dispance cloak box and sent it to the bottom of the Marianna Trench. They turned the dispance cloak on and the chopper disappeared from the field. Michael had activated the stealth gear and the chopper became completely invisible to anyone. He had also flipped the switches to warm up the bird because he knew they would not have time to do it when they completed the mission. After they were done they both flew back to the suburban and gathered Daniel and Theresa.

Landing just outside the prison holding cells on the south side of the base they all stood while Theresa pushed her mind into the building and connected with whomever she could. She shivered at first but gained control and spoke to one of the men in the first cell. His mind was full of fear and she calmed him by telling him that he would be free soon. He must listen for her to talk in his mind again but now he must be calm and talk quietly to his cell mates and spread the news of their coming opportunity of escape. She also told him about the choppers to the north from them and showed him the route they must take. She also told him of the men that would be given a chance to escape from the bunker. He must be calm and wait was her last speak to him. They all moved to the little building and made sure no guards or dogs or anyone else was around and then uncloaked themselves. Michael let Susanna and Theresa take the lead and they all entered the building.

Master Sergeant Matthew Fallow had been setting inside the elevator building reading a manual on how to build a dome structure. He was due to retire within the year and he and his wife were going to move to Arizona and build a small dome house on some land he had acquired in the eastern mountains. The duty of guarding this elevator shack to the secret underground bunker was the Armies way of punishing him for not reenlisting. He did not know what was going on down below but he had seen the policemen being brought in with shackles around their ankles and hands. It was disconcerting to see these good men being taken into the pit. He did not know what they had done but he knew that they did not deserve what ever might be happening to them down there. He had been working on a plan to free some of them. He had never seen any of them come back up and suspected they were being assassinated down there. These were his thoughts and how he was going to build the dome structure when the door opened and two Colonels walked in. He looked up and was surprised that these two officers stood in front of him and then a 1 star General and a Major General walked in behind them.

The book dropped from his hand and he stood up in a straight attention position. The lieutenant Colonel looked at him and all he could see was a very pretty woman with red hair starring at him. This Colonel reminded him of his wife who also had red hair. He loved her so much. The Colonel walked closer to him and bent down, she picked up the manual he was reading and looked at it. He did not know what was coming next but it almost dropped him to his knees when she handed the manual back to him and said “that will be a very nice home for you and your wife sergeant her name is Melinda is it not?” He shook his head yes but his speech was gone. He swallowed hard and kept standing there. He had started to salute but the woman smiled and said “that won’t be necessary Matthew.” He closed his eyes and prayed that he would not be taken down below for this breach of military protocol. The woman spoke into his mind and calmed him. She told him that he could go home to Melinda and they both could go to Arizona now if he wished. He did not know how to respond again but she filled his mind with how to do everything and the military would never know where he went. He knew what to do then and she smiled. He reached over and opened a panel. The elevator door opened. He then picked up his manual from the desk where he had placed it when she had handed it to him. He held it to his chest and dropped his duty belt as the woman opened a hole in front of him. He saw Melinda standing in front of him and reached out and hugged her. He turned and the refrigerator was all he saw. He and Melinda packed their stuff up and left within 4 hours and headed for Arizona. Melinda had told him that a woman had stood in front of her and told her all about him coming home and them leaving for their dreams.

It began to rain outside when they all piled into the elevator and shut the door and pushed the button for level two which was the lowest level. The elevator dropped like a rock and then stopped. The door opened and in front of them stood a robot or so they thought.

63 A SHOT IN THE DARK

Samuel and Mary led the way down the corridor. This corridor was longer than the one below and well lit. It did not have a lot of doors but from what they saw there were at least 6 or 7 doors in the first 150 feet of corridor. At the end of the first section there were double doors across the corridor and they looked like they might be locked. Jonathan and Samantha were peering through the little glass windows in each door and the ones that were solid they opened and looked in. Two of them were restrooms and two more were storage rooms with extra supplies and cleaning stuff. As they approached the halfway mark of this first section, the double doors opened and a full bird Colonel and a lieutenant walked through. The Colonel seemed to be mad about something and told the lieutenant that he should not worry about the sergeant. The man had been caught steeling from all the officers at Fort Witch ell and it was just a matter of time until he was either killed or thrown in the prison for life. So he was doing the sergeant a favor both men proceeded to the closest door on the right side and entered. Everyone had stopped moving until these men had gone into the room. They heard dogs barking and figured that one of the rooms might have cages for the animals and another one might be quarters for guards.

As they approached the end of the corridor, there were three doors left. Samantha looked through the glass of the closest to them and saw the guard’s room. She could see three guards sitting at a table and it looked like there might be 7 bunks. She knew they had already sent two of them off on this level and the ones down below were also gone. She did not think that the guards on level three mixed with these guards so that left two others unaccounted for at least. She told everyone this. The next door over had to be the dog’s cages and the door across the corridor where the brass had entered could be a mess hall or offices. It would be hard to tell without peering into the small window. Samuel walked over and looked. It was a mess hall and he could see the Colonel and the lieutenant sitting at a table eating something and drinking coffee. There were at least two people working the counter and he saw at least one more guard sitting at a table eating. Mary had walked up to the double doors and peered through the windows. It was a very large lab with a couple of doors leading into other rooms. There were at least a dozen scientists working on various experiments. As she was watching a man came out of a door and moved towards a desk. He reminded her of the people she had seen when she was a little girl. He was tall and had blond hair or partially white. He carried himself like those people, he walked very stiffly. She watched him move to a desk and pull a drawer open. He looked wearily around and pulled a German looking Lugar pistol out and slid it into his white coat pocket and then turned and went back through the door he had come from. When he opened that door and went through she noticed that it was inset into a wall that could be very thick.

They all heard the intercom speaker, “Colonel Bullnutt please report to Lab 2.” Everybody gathered to rush into the lab when the Colonel and his lieutenant entered. They waited and the Colonel came out by himself and walked to the double doors. Samuel stepped back and told everyone to get in and he would check out the mess hall. Mary started to object but Samuel told her that she must guard Jonathan and Samantha. That Colonel had something quite important in the second lab and they needed to find out what it was. He would follow as soon as he made sure it would be secure out here. Mary felt some trepidation but she knew he was right. When the Colonel entered the doors he swung them wide open and blustered his way into the large lab. The three cloaked people rushed in before the doors automatically shut. They were in the large lab and followed the Colonel to the door that led to the inner lab or lab 2. When the Colonel opened the door and walked through Jonathan and Mary went with him and moved to a wall just inside. Samantha had stayed outside in the big lab. She had noticed something and read the minds of a couple of the scientists that were working on some very deadly viruses that were being contained and sealed for shipment to Wyoming for mass production to be used in Texas. This stuff would kill hundreds of thousands of people within a few days once released.

Inside the lab and test range the Colonel had approached the scientist and asked “are youready to fire the second phase.” The scientist said yes but first the colonel should take a close look at the sergeant before they dissolved him. The Colonel looked at him with suspicion but passed it off for now. “Okay what is wrong with the first phase” he asked as they both started to walk down range. Mary saw the scientist fiddling with his jacket pocket and knew that this person intended to do something with this Colonel. She and Jonathan watched as the two men walked towards a third man that was slumped on the wall at the far end. That man was shackled to the wall; Jonathan walked over to the rifle in its cradle and told Mary what it was. If this goes any further than here this world will be in a very sorry state. We must destroy it before it leaves this room. Mary heard him loud and clear and continued to watch the two men walking towards the slumping man. Jonathan walked behind the wall and found the joystick. He looked through the little window and moved the stick so the laser rifle began to target the two men walking away. He knew what it could be capable of but did not know that it had been set to dissolve organic matter. He was intending to disable the two men and then destroy this insidious device.

When the two men reached the poor soul that was shackled to the wall the Colonel reached out and slapped the man on the wall then raised his head and yelled an obscenity at him. The man did not move or flinch or anything. When the Colonel turned to ask the scientist what was wrong, he stopped short because the scientist had pulled his pistol out and had it pointed at the Colonel. Mary heard him say to the Colonel that he would be the second test subject and told him to get his hands up. The Colonel grabbed for the gun and it went off. The Colonel fell back and hit the wall. He grabbed his stomach and began to curse at the scientist. The scientist walked up to him and bonked him across the face. Whatever he said to the Colonel Mary could not here. The scientist began to take the colonels arm and place it into another shackle on the wall. The Colonel was loosing strength by then and could not fight the scientist off, Mary was watching all this going on when all of sudden a bright reddish yellow beam hit both men and they melted in front of her. She looked over at Jonathan and he was starring down range with wild eyes. He was starting to break down and Mary moved over quickly and removed the joy stick from his hand. She walked around the wall and dialed her TM Gizmo and sent this thing into the sun. She turned to Jonathan and said what did you do? He said I don’t know but make this thing go away also. She made the joy stick go away and then reset her Gizmo and sent the poor soul hanging on the wall to a mental ward in the past. Carolyne had talked to her about what she had done to the guards they had found. Something told her that the scientist had hidden some very important information about this weapon but he was gone and they would never find what it was he had hid.

Samuel had walked across the corridor and looked in the window of the mess room door. What he saw make him back up and retch. He swallowed his bile and pushed through the door. The lieutenant, the two additional guards and the two cooks attending the kitchen had all been murdered. They all had bullet holes in their heads. They had been shot at close range and he knew it was that mad Colonel that did this. He wandered how that wacko thought he was going to get away with this. He flipped his dial on the TM Gizmo and sent all of the bodies to a military base in Michigan where he had been stationed for a short period. The next thing he did was go out and cross the corridor to the guard quarters. When he looked in he saw the three still sitting around the table. He reached in with his mind and tried to touch their minds. He read one mind and that person was susceptible to leaving this miserable, nightmarish place. The man was thinking strong and hard about his wife and son. His wife was due to have another child within the month and wanted nothing more than to take care of them. He had dreamed of living on a piece of land located around a lake in eastern British Colombia. Samuel reached him and told him to come out the door for a moment and he could have his dream come true.

64 WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM

As the elevator door opened to level two the two Guards standing at ease saw the high brass and both came to attention. Everyone stepped out into the corridor and the lieutenant walked to the Guards and asked in a gruff voice, “where is the commander of this bunker corporal?” The corporal said “Sir he is at the end of the corridor in the lab sir.” Carolyne walked over and said “we are here on a surprise inspection corporal and you and the private here will stand your post and not inform the commander we are here. We have been sent by the Emperor ‘How many personnel are on this floor and how many are on the level above here?” The corporal answered her and said “there are 5 civilian scientists, The Major and a lieutenant and us two guards. Maam I mean sir.”

Carolyne starred at him and said “and the floor above corporal or should I say private?” The corporal swallowed hard and was visibly shaking. “Sir Yes Sir the level above is empty during the day or working shifts. All the scientists work on this level where the lab is located.” Carolyne kept prodding him and asked about the 5th level. He told her that the 5th level had been abandoned right after they had begun construction. “There is an under ground spring that could not be diverted or stopped.” Carolyne stood very stern and shoved her face into his. She said “Corporal, the Emperor has continued to funnel credits to this facility so that level and level four could be completed and you’re telling me that level 5 hasn’t even been worked on since the beginning?” The Corporal started to say something and she said “Do not interrupt me Corporal.” He shut his mouth and she continued, “Now there are two more levels below this one and level four is not usable and the rooms are bolted shut, you want to tell me why?” He spoke and said “There are no rooms on level 4 maam, I mean Sir.” “What do you mean by that corporal?” “Sir, after drilling the corridor the rooms were started but could not be drilled out, the openings were cut and the drills bored in about 5 feet and the next day they were solid again. We could not figure how that was happening. After several months of the same thing the doors were bolted shut and that level was abandoned also.”

“So Corporal you are telling me and the General here that this facility has been receiving credits to complete two levels that have been abandoned?” The corporal swallowed hard again and said “sir I would not know about that.” Carolyne said “I see and we will get to the bottom of this through the Major?” “Yes sir.” Kristyl stepped forward and looked at him closely, he swallowed some more bile she was sure. “Tell us about level three, corporal. That one had a lab in operation, is it still operating and what progress has been made?” The corporal said he did not know and she would have to talk to the Major on that one.” The only thing he did know was that no one was allowed to go to level three. As far as he knew all the levels below this one were off limits. “No one here today, except the Major, has been down there. This facility has operated on a limited budget. They bring in guards from the city and the major goes down with his lieutenant to fetch a dog when they are needed to walk the perimeter. The Major and the lieutenant do not even stay here. When ever the Major shows up he brings some creature that is his pet. The thing looks almost human but crawls around like some kind of crab or something. Everyone here dreads it when he brings that thing. He usually leaves it at level one and it roams free. No one wants to go up there until the Major leaves.”

Kevin stepped forward to ask this poor soul if he had any idea of what was being done in the lab, the corporal said he did not know and he and the private just guarded the elevator door. He admitted that it got a bit spooky because every once in a while they could here strange sounds coming up the elevator shaft. Bill had listened to all of this and finally stepped forward and told both men to continue their duty and he would get to the crux of whatever was happening down below. Both guards stood at attention as the party walked down the corridor towards the double doors of the lab at the end of the corridor. Carolyne spoke into their minds and said it would appear that this Major has taken one of those poor creatures that was experimented on and made it his favorite pet.

Major Clyde Thumbscrew had been the commanding officer at this facility since the level three experiments had started. He thought he was the luckiest officer on the face of the planet. He had no one looking over his shoulder and he called all the shots. He had a plush mansion in the city and pretty much controlled all the law enforcement as well as the political systems in all the surrounding cities and the county. He could take anything he wanted and his militarized jack boots enforced it all. He robbed all the locals’ bank accounts and if they stood up he would have his controllers either beat them or burn them out or even kill them depending how out spoken they became. The Lieutenant that brought him here was relatively new and he would have to break him in to the dictatorial duties of his little tyrannical kingdom. The last Jr. Officer had tried to buck him and he had to have him taken out. When the level three experiments had ended badly just like the one at the Gerou base he had saved one man beast that had survived and actually could follow his commands. The thing had killed for him when ever it was convenient and the last lieutenant had been a convenience that showed him what the creature could do. He had never seen it in action before until then. It was a very gruesome encounter. So whenever he came to the facility he would bring Doolittle with him. That had been the name of the human that had been experimented on.

The Major was standing over Christen bell berating her for not completing her experiments on the transformation of animals into humans. He wanted her to continue the failed developments of the level three experiments. She had worked on that project while down on level three and had taken a sabbatical after those experiments had failed. She came back after a year to work on the human anatomy and the animal psychics to meld them together. She knew that it was a very evil thing and did what she could to keep it from happening. She would come up with something that resembled some progress but was really a complete dead end but the Major did not know anything. Today he had come to the facility specifically to show his controlling power and had already yelled and blubbered at the rest of the team. It was his monthly berating episode and everybody had prepared for it.

His voice was climbing in decibels when the lab doors opened and a Major General with his entourage walked in and stopped just inside as the doors closed. The Major was so involved with his diatribe he failed to notice. His lieutenant, who had been sitting over by the research library room, jumped up suddenly and said “ATTEN HUT” The Major shut up suddenly and turned towards his lieutenant. The expression on his face was palpable, the veins were popped out and the skin was deep red. His eyes looked like they would shoot fire any second. He began to use obscenities at the lieutenant when out of the corner of his eye he noticed the brass standing by the doors. He slowly turned to them and stopped very suddenly. He saluted and his demeanor became one of a sickly sweet tone that reminded everyone of a politician begging for a vote. He asked what he could do for them and why they had come to this lowly facility. Carolyne almost became sick from the way he had spoken to them. She decided to make this little man feel exactly the way he had been making everyone around him feel.

“Major, if that is what you call yourself, Major General Bradley has been requested by the Emperor himself to investigate the progress of this facility.” She stepped closer to him as she spoke. “You have been under investigation for quite some time now and we need answers to a number of questions that the emperor has.” The Major’s face began to turn a whiter shade of pale and he began to stutter. “I... I... I. I will bbbeee glad tototooo answer any qqquuestions you...You may have Colonel?” Carolyne said “It’s Colonel Stomper to you Major.” The Major finished his sentence with “yes… yes, Colonel Stomper.” She turned and said “This is Major General Bradley.” Bill walked forward and picked right up where Carolyne left off “Major, seems to me you might be better off as a lowly sergeant.” The Major started to whimper, so Bill asked if he needed a glass of water or something to calm him self?” Major Clyde Thumbscrew was sweating and shook his head up and down. Bill looked at the lieutenant over by the corner and told him to get the Major some water.

All of the scientists were snickering under their breath but kept quiet while they watched this General begin to chew this nothing of a Major out. The questions that were coming were almost too much for them to bear. They all knew what this creep had been doing with the funds that were being given to this facility and how he had been building up his little empire in the city. Bill had heard the smiling pleasure in his wife’s mind and also he could hear the laughing rumbling through Kristyl and Kevin’s minds as he stood in front of this worthless toad while he drank his water. As he drank the water it spilled out of the corners of his mouth and he wiped his lower face with the sleeves of his jacket. When he was done he jabbed the glass back at the lieutenant and continued to stand while the General just looked at him. Bill asked him if he was better now. The Major shook his head and asked the General if they could go to a more secure area to discuss any issues. Bill almost broke up laughing and in the minds of all the others he could hear them laughing. He looked straight at the Major and said “Major we are not here to discuss your indiscretions in private but rather all these people must hear what you have been doing to them.” He turned to Kevin and said “Lieutenant Danforth will you fetch those two Guards in the corridor and bring them here?” Kevin said yes sir and left to get the guards. “Major, do you have any more personnel in this facility that will not be needed for Guard duty.” The Major looked at his lieutenant and asked if there were any other men that could come to level two. The Lieutenant said there was one guard at the gate up top and there was something on level one that should be brought down. The Major smiled and said “yes we must bring Doolittle down and the guard at the gate should stay on duty.” “Major? Is there any more on the lower levels?” The Major said “no those levels have been closed off and there is no personnel below this level.” Bill looked at him and called him a liar while saying to Carolyne “Colonel what did we see on the level below us?”

Carolyne looked straight at the Major and said “we talked with two guards on that level sir.” Bill said “So major what are you trying to hide down on that level?” The Major said “you cannot bring those things up here they are not completely human and have been assigned to guard that floor from any intrusions into a failed experiment.” Carolyne moved closer to the pip squeak and said “we know what is down there and what you have created and done to the creatures. Maybe we should send you down alone and let them take care of you?” The Major started to whine and said “you can’t do that. The emperor’s henchmen know full well what is down there and they pay close attention to our progress with these developments. Those things will be released at a certain time to help take the world into the emperor’s fold.” Carolyne had been waiting for him to admit the projects ultimate goal and this was close enough.

The scientists in the lab and the two guards that just walked in with Kevin as well as the lieutenant all stood with their eyes wide open and Carolyne had heard gasps as the Major turned around in a circle and looked at all the people. He began to raise his voice and tell them all that this was all planned by the Emperor and they all had an obligation to make the plan succeed. He turned back to the General and called him a fake, “The Emperor would never send someone to destroy this project it was his pet project unbeknownst to most except himself and a few others.” He was becoming desperate and began to plead with everyone in the room. In between pleading he was also being belligerent and calling everyone a traitor to the cause. He turned towards the Guards and told them to “arrest these imposters.” The Guards did not move and the Major started to reach for his sidearm when a loud bang rang out and the Major looked down at his chest as blood began to soak through his jacket. He slowly turned towards the lieutenant and then fell face first to the floor. Everybody in the room stood starring at the lieutenant as he walked over to the doors. He waved everyone to move away and over to the back of the lab. Everyone moved slowly while watching the lieutenant. He waved his side arm side to side while watching everyone wearily. He began to speak and tell everyone that the Major was a madman and the Emperor had sent him here to eliminate the fool. As for all these other officers he did not know them but he was going to leave and no one should try to stop him. He had been in the research lab and had a file in his other hand. He told everyone to stay in this room until he was gone and if anyone came out of the doors before he was on the elevator they would be shot also. Carolyne had read this mans mind and knew that he was even more deranged than the Major had been and told everyone else to let him go. He was headed for sure destruction.

Doolittle was sitting at the elevator waiting for it to open. Something had told him that his master had been destroyed and the destroyer was on his way up to get him. He knew it was the other human that had come here with them earlier. His master had told him to destroy this human when he gave the order. Now with his master dead, there was no barrier to keep him from destroying this human. He heard the elevator car start from below and waited. When the door opened he was ready to pounce. The lieutenant was standing with his firearm in his hand when the door opened. Something jumped on him and bit into his neck and he pulled the trigger of his gun. The creature screamed but kept tearing into the human’s throat. The gun kept pumping bullets into Doolittle’s midsection as he tore the human’s throat apart. The gun stopped going off and Doolittle fell to the side. The car had blood splattered all over it as Doolittle’s last thought in life was how he had become this monster. The lieutenant had his last thought of life as his gun continued to pump lead into this creature. He starred up as the elevator door closed and it felt like freefall. The elevator car had a malfunction and fell towards the bottom at a rate of 500 miles per hour. When it hit the bottom at level five it crumpled to a flat pancake and the following explosion blew it into a thousand little bits.

Everyone in the lab heard the explosion and started to panic. The four officers spoke into their minds and calmed them. They were all asked about leaving this bunker of death and living for bringing humanity to a healing on this world. They all had begun to sing in their hearts for the saving grace of a way out of this nightmare. Once Carolyne knew their hearts and minds she pushed them all to the center of the lab and opened a portal to a place in the haven and told all of them to step into that place. Once they did she closed it and the four of them cleaned up the lab and stepped out next to the chopper. As they stood there the ground shook like an earthquake and the little Quonset building caved in on itself. Some of the mines blew and the fence began to fall around the perimeter. The two skimmers were swallowed up by a large sink hole and it closed up over them. The ground appeared to be normal after the fact. The cottonwoods shook but remained standing. Kristyl dialed her TM Gizmo and scanned the ground around the area and the mines all shifted into space and exploded. The fence disappeared and reappeared on a distant island in the past that began to sink into the ocean. The earth shifted and the tunnels below became solid, the underground springs flowed without being hampered. All of the manmade objects became part of the earth and 20,000 years in the future someone digging along a vein of metal in a mountain side found something that looked like a chair from the distant past. The four humans climbed into the chopper and lifted off towards the next place located in Wyoming.

The park became covered in snow and in the City, on a large plot of land, a mansion crumbled and disappeared into a large sink hole. The hole filled with water and the city had a new lake. A Coterie of Prairie dogs moved onto a portion of the land around the lake and the people made a park around the whole lake and land and called it Thumbscrew Lake. YANSA and IINIWA brought the heard back into the thick Cottonwoods and found their sweet grass once again. The cottonwoods shook with relief and once more enjoyed the company of the Buffalo. NANTAN moved his coterie to the place where the building had stood and found that their old burrows were still there, He visited YANSA and IINIWA often and they all cohabitated together. The children dreamed and planted trees and the people grew gardens. The southern plains of North Dakota thrived in peace and prosperity.

65 TWO BEARS AND A BEAVER

Sergeant Gary Hendrix was sitting next to the manikins that were placed in the chairs when anyone was left in the quarters by themselves. All of his companions had either guard duty topside or were on a lunch break from duty at the elevator. He had been dreaming of his wife and son and their new baby when the thoughts entered his mind to enter the corridor. He rose and walked to the door and looked through the window. He did not see anyone so he opened the door and stepped into the corridor. He thought one of his companions was playing a joke on him. The door closed behind him and a man materialized in front of him. He reached for his side arm but the man grabbed his arm and spoke to him in his mind. He stopped and starred and asked “Who are you?” Samuel told him everything in the blink of an eye and Gary asked if he could really do what he said. Samuel said he could and would if he really wanted it. Gary reached his other hand down and unbuckled the duty belt and the pistol fell to the floor. “I am ready.” Samuel twisted the space dial on his TM gizmo pointed it at Gary and downloaded information into him to gather his family and step into the hole that would be created for him. Samuel had a suspicion that he could make this gizmo work in space and time by setting both functions and pressing the button twice. He had Gary’s mind of destination for family and the cabin in British Colombia. He opened the portal to his family and their home and told him to step through. He also told him to gather everyone and everything he needed and he would send him to the cabin. “Do not worry about your wife having her baby I will send someone that will help with that and all will be fine.” Gary saw his wife and their present home and did not hesitate he stepped into their living room and began to tell his wife that they were moving. The portal closed but Samuel watched them do what was needed after Gary had explained it all. The son was the one that took control it seemed and started grabbing stuff and filling bags and what ever else might be needed. Gary’s Alice was crying but she was ready also to move. “What about the baby?” Gary told her to not worry they would be fine. In no time they were ready and Samuel opened the portal to the cabin and reached into their minds and told them to step through. They did and he closed the portal. He then opened his mind to Evelyne and Eryne and told them about the child coming. They spoke to him and said we know and will make sure the child is brought safely into this world. She has been waiting patiently in the spirit and has chosen to come and help all of us.

Samuel turned and went to the double doors. He looked into the lab and activated his dispance cloak again and entered the room. Three people looked up at the doors opening and did not see anyone come in or go out. They stood so abruptly that their chairs fell over. Everyone in the room looked up in surprise. Mary and Jonathan opened the door to the second lab and walked into the room. By this time everyone was thoroughly spooked and gravitated to the middle of the room. Samantha who had been standing close to the people that were containing the deadly virus had taken her TM Gizmo and set the space dial to send this thing into a sun that existed a billion light years from this world. When the doors opened from both places she saw Mary and Jonathan come through and she saw Samuel come through the double doors first. When all the people gravitated to the center of the room she pushed the button on the gizmo and the virus in its containers burned up in a fraction of a second on that far distant sun.

She was searching the minds looking for the research and experimentation when Samuel materialized in front of the scientists. Mary was surprised that he did that and stood there stunned for a few moments. She set her gizmo to make these people disappear while watching Samuel. All the people closed even tighter together when the man appeared to them. He began to speak and asked them if they wanted to escape this deadly destruction they were working on and actually create things that would benefit humanity rather than destroy them. He waited for an answer from this group. Finally someone asked where the Colonel and his lieutenant were. Mary then turned her dispance cloak off and everyone turned to her and bunched up again. One brave soul asked “how many of you are there?” Everyone was looking around as if more people would just appear. Jonathan and Samantha remained cloaked as per Samuels mind talk. Mary told them that the Colonel had been killed by the scientist that was in the other lab and he then killed himself. Something to do with a new weapon of sorts and he used it on the Colonel and himself. An elderly man started to move towards the door into the lab and Mary told him that he would not like to see how that weapon worked on human flesh. The man stopped and backed up. Another person asked about the guards and Samuel told them that “the Colonel killed them all before he came back in here. He assassinated them while they were eating and went into the guard’s quarters and shot the ones remaining. The lieutenant was the first one to die in that mess hall.”

Samuel asked if there were any other people in the complex. One scientist stepped forward and said “we are the only ones that live down here. There were 11 of us plus two guards on the first level living quarters. There are 5 guards living on this floor and 6 living on that level of hell below us. No one goes down there anymore and none of us have been down there since the experiments went haywire. Those things down there will eat you. All our research and development was moved up here and the elevator to that floor stopped working for us and only the Colonel could go down there. When we first started here there were 20 of us. That 3rd level was for development and experiments only until the animal things broke out and began to kill. What you see here and the cooks plus the guards up here were all that was left after the massacre. The Colonel took some men down there and stopped the killing and locked the things up, he then rigged the elevator so he was the only one to be able to go down there.”

“Whatever is still down there has been there for over 2 years now and have never come up here.” Samuel counted 10 people left. All the Guards had either been kill or sent to another place. He asked his question again. “Who wants to create and invent and do things to help humanity ascend to a peaceful and prosperous world?” Two stepped forward immediately then 3 more slowly moved to the first two. The group still reluctant milled around talking to themselves quietly and then two more walked to the second group. Three people stood and starred at Samuel and a tall dark haired man spoke up and said “what are you going to do if we don’t want to leave our work here, kill us also?” Samuel shook his head for the ignorance of this question/statement. He looked at all three of them and said “no neither I nor my compatriot will do anything to you. It is your choice however; I must tell you that we are going to destroy this entire complex.” The tall dark haired man looked at Samuel and Mary, he kept starring at them and then said “you will be hunted down and eliminated for this you know.” Samuel said “well that is a chance we are willing to take to make sure the experiments do not go any further.”

All the while that Samuel had been talking with the dark haired man Samantha noticed, he had slowly been moving towards her She saw his intention, he was going to spill the virus and kill everyone in the room. Little did he know that it was no longer in the containers he intended to knock over. She had read his thoughts as well as the other two. He was the most dangerous at the moment but she would let him try to do what was on his mind. It was fanatics like him that brought the world to where it was today. One of the other men who was shorter than the other two and had light brown hair was a hard core secret service agent in the direct employ of the emperor. He would be the next to take out.

Lyle Crumsinker fully intended to die for the Emperors “cause”; he had known Vinnie since they were boys growing up in the Bronx. Vinnie had given him control over the scientific community and he had created many things so Vinnie could control his jack booted patrols and more. It was an unfortunate accident in Wyoming that had gotten him relieved of the top position and Vinnie had him transferred to this hell hole. He forgave Vinnie and continued his research into creating Man beasts for the new army that would take over. His idea was to knock over the vials of the virus and kill every body in this lab. He knew that the military would send more personnel here and these experiments would continue. The things on level three had been mistakes but it had given him greater ideas and he was able to further his experiments but his research was stolen and taken to other labs. The Laser rifle had taken precedence but he was totally dedicated and his death would bring the terror of Vinnie down on the entire country. The man in front of them continued to talk saying that they were all slated to die by the emperors hands anyway. As soon as he heard that he leaped and hit the container expecting to get a full lethal dose immediately when it hit the floor. By leaping he bounced across the desk and rolled to floor. His hip had been damaged and he could not stand up now. He waited for the sweet death of the virus to consume him but it did not come and he began to wonder what had happened. The two men that stood with him both were starring down at him and walked to the group that chose to leave. He raised his head and called all of them traitors. Mary had read his mind also and had set her TM Gizmo for the level below where the dog creatures were still alive. Samuel caught her mind just as she activated the gizmo and sent this devious human to his doom. He wanted to stop her but it was too late.

Lyle heard the heavy breathing and rolled over. He could not get up and what he saw made him scream just before the pack of part human part dog creatures pounced on him. His soul/spirit came away and he was in a very dark place. He screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed…………

All the men and two women scientist stood and were ready to leave. The grumbling of the mountain could be heard growing ever louder. Samuel walked over and asked the short man with the light brown hair to wait with him and opened the portal to the place at the haven. All of them except this one that stood beside Samuel stepped through and the portal closed. The man turned and asked where they went when the lab began to shake. Jonathan and Samantha had already opened their portal and were standing beside the chopper when Samuel, Mary and the man stepped through. Samuel asked the man to walk over to a secluded place from the others.

Frank Lancer walked with this man over to a path that stepped down the hill and both of them climbed down about 10 feet before leveling out. Once at the bottom they could not see the others. Samuel stopped and turned around and said “Well Frank you want to tell me what you planned to do to us when we get away from this place?” Frank looked at him with a surprise on his face. “How do you know my name?” Samuel said “that isn’t all I know about you Frank, I also know that you are a secret service agent in the employ of the Emperor.” Frank jumped at him but Samuel had already read his mind and just side stepped. Frank went tumbling down the path when he hit the ground. He rolled about 20 feet further and stood up. He pulled his pistol from his boot and jacked a round into it. He started to aim at Samuel when a very hot rancid breath of air, brushed his neck. He turned around just in time to get a very large mouth full of teeth chomp down on his face. The gun fell from his hand and he began to scream. The last sound he heard was a low growl and the end came.

Kuruk had dispatched the danger and walked up the path and stood in front of Samuel. They mind spoke with each other and thanked each other. Kuruk told him that he would see him in the big meadow at the bottom of the mountain later this day. Samuel gave him a good bear hug and turned and walked back up the path and over to every one standing around. Mary had tears running down her face so he took her and hugged her tightly. “I know you did that to keep us all safe. We must leave now and we will stop in a place that will give us a healing.”

As the chopper climbed above the tree tops they saw the mountain beginning to settle. The cave entrance had smoke boiling out and then it completely collapsed. They flew up to the top and across the lodge. It appeared to be shaking but was holding together quite well. They could see people standing outside and balancing themselves so this all appeared like an average earthquake. They banked the chopper and headed to the south and down the mountain. They could see boulders here and there being shaken loose but all in all the mountain was just settling inside. Samuel brought the chopper in to a low slow movement across the meadow and landed almost in the same spot they had landed prior to this mission. Once they landed he cut the rotor and they all just sat there for awhile looking at the beauty. Samuel got up and gathered some food in a basket and opened the hatch. He handed the basket to Jonathan and Samantha grabbed a large blanket and they both jumped out and walked towards the little lake. Samuel walked up and picked Mary up and virtually carried her to the hatch. She looked at him with tears flowing and hugged his neck. He floated out of the hatch and lightly touched the ground as he floated over to the picnic sight. He lay Mary down and sat beside her. She cried and sobbed and they all gathered close and hugged each other.

Nawhaur the beaver was sitting on his dam when the giant bug flew in and rested in the meadow again. He waited for the humans again and watched as they got out of the bug and came toward his home. They stopped in a grassy area on a beach at the side of his pond and spread a fuzzy looking thing on the ground and put a square thing on it. Two more humans appeared to float over to this fuzzy thing and they all were sitting around and holding one another. A voice in his mind told him to go and meet these humans He stood up on his dam and looked around to find who this was that had talked to him. The voice had sounded like a human child. Nawhaur ran across his dam to the south side and then ran to the north side. He jumped in the water and swam around looking for a child that might be swimming in the pond. He finally climbed back up on the dam and was bewildered. He heard the giggling first and then right there in front of him stood a young human girl. She reached out and touched him on his brow and he heard her call his name, Nawhaur, you have a nice home and you will meet some very close friends. The girl moved to one side and Nawhaur saw two large brown bears walking across the meadow towards his home. He almost jumped into the water because they were getting closer. The girl asked him to wait. As he stood there he watched the bears walk past the giant bug and move straight towards the humans. He was so fascinated and kept thinking that the bears were going to eat the humans. The next thing that happened made him almost fall off the dam, he slipped and grabbed a branch just in time and hopped back up and the bears were sitting with the humans. One of the humans was hugging the biggest one. The girl asked if he would like to meet his large brothers and the humans that were also his brothers and sisters. Nawhaur looked at her with Hugh eyes. If a beaver could show embarrassment Nawhaur would have shown the reddest face. He turned around to talk to the girl and she was not there, when he turned back towards the humans and the bears he saw the little girl setting with them.

Kuruk looked over at the little beaver standing on his dam and reached out his mind thought and asked him to come over and join. There is good food and good company. Nawhaur spoke back to Kuruk. I would be the good food if I came over there right? Nawhaur heard the giggling again and in the Bears mind he heard him laughing also. Kuruk then called him by his name and said Nawhaur you are a funny little fellow you really should come over and join us, we have a gift for you. What sort of gift would that be, from such a big fellow as you? Perhaps you have an extra tasty limb to fatten me up before dinner? Sikyahonaw fell to his side and rolled over laughing hysterically. All the humans were laughing and guffawing. Kuruk said we have found some extra tasty foliage for you if you care to join us. Nawhaur asked what kind of foliage that would be. Kuruk told him that they had been in the deeper forest where the succulent young skunk weeds and baby ferns are located. Nawhaur perked his ears and said can you show them to me? The little girl stood up and held an armful of the foliage up so he could see it. He still was not convinced that the humans and bears had the best intentions for him. The next thing that happened was a beautiful young female beaver stepped from behind Kuruk and stood next to the little girl. Nawhaur starred at her and began to waddle off the dam. Once on the shore he waddled half way to the site and stopped. Sawlyne sensed that he was still very weary so she dropped and waddled to him. Once she reached him they began to chatter and chomp at each other. Sawlyne told him to come meet their brothers and sisters. He followed her to the fuzzy thing on the ground and the little girl came and hugged him. He began to feel a little more secure when Kuruk and Sikyahonaw both spoke to him and told how they had protected him while he built the dam and his lodge. They had chased off the other brothers that sought to do him harm. He and Sikyahonaw would live in this valley and they all would live in peace and harmony as he and Sawlyne raised their children.

Samuel, Mary, Jonathan and Samantha gathered the blanket and the basket after hugging the bears and bumping the beaver’s noses and headed for the chopper. As they climbed into the bird and prepared to lift off the animal brothers and sister all stood together and it seemed that they waved to them as the chopper climbed up and headed to the North east. Samuel said to everyone, Next stop Flaxville.
