Part One: Discovery

Earth.

The year is 2010

The world was a different place in the new millennium.

Early 2006 had seen major leaps in offensive weapons development coupled with dwindling fuel resources lead to a major arms and fuel crisis in 2007. the world steered dangerously close to world war three but it was averted by the first concerted intervention of the worlds super-corporations, and the worlds 200 richest men and women after all, war is bad for business… through this intervention the world political climate changed…

The corporations and the super rich were truly running the world.

Of course the average Joe didn't know the difference but to those who thought outside the box, or those who actually worked in the political machine it was as clear as day… laws changed rapidly regime changes were slightly more pronounced… and peoples lives became subjected to the secret war games the elite played…

High above the earth the Celadon super satellite Elysium. Passed over the earth… transmitting data and images down to earth…

Down on earth in Boston martin Bradshaw examined the readings before him the satellite picked up considerable seismic activity followed by a strange energy resonance coming from an area in the Caribbean ocean…

Adjusting the focus of the satellite and changing the spectrum a stunning image was revealed to him …

An island, an uncharted landmass around 1279 square miles the pictures also revealed large deposits of pure diamonds dotted around the island as well as precious metals, and large deposits of fossil fuels he quickly jotted down the co-ordinates and got on the phone to the folks upstairs…

With in 3 hours every section head had been scrambled everything else had ground to a halt… martin found himself being grilled vigorously over the validity of the discovery

Preparations were being made all around him martin started to wonder what was so important about this island…sure there were gold and jewels but why was everybody in a hurry?

4 hours after the initial discovery …

"Okay this is island x435 discovered at O nine hundred hours," said international operations director James Linton

"Whoa! That's a good sized island!" said one of the other men in the room

"As you can see it's bigger than London, and by London I mean central and greater London. A great find I'm sure you all agree but nothing spectacular… what makes x435 so important is what the technician discovered on his initial density scans…"

"Is that what I think it is?" said another of the men in the room.

"It is." replied James "It's the largest deposit of diamonds in the world just the top 300 meters of this deposit measures up to three times the volume our African diamond mine puts out in 5 years… we have to get down to that island and claim the area for Celadon before other companies or governments do…"

"Very well I'll assemble a team to go down and set up shop on the site of the diamonds… under the agreements signed once we claim and get it verified, its ours…" said Gina Arlington Celadon's operations controller

"Gina, Send in a team with the minimum number needed to claim..." said the man at the head of the conference table

"Why?" asked Gina

"Well if Totayma or Palmerstone see Celadon mobilising a major expedition they'll know something's up and send in their own team and that means we get stuck in a bloody free for all, I would prefer to keep it on the down low and keep the Totayma corporation and any other corporation off our back for at least 72 hours by then our claim would be in motion…"

"Very well I'll get on it… " She said nodding and turning on her mobile

48 hours later

Celadon central

"This is serious people we lost contact with alpha team 12 hours ago! We can't pick up anything from their radios and GPS systems!" said Gina

"Maybe they already left the island…" said one of the operation co-ordinators

"Definitely not our onboard trackers place all their transports as still on the island!" said another co-ordinator

"Maybe they met resistance?" asked the first co-ordinator

"That may be a possibility but initial indications from landing indicate nothing beyond standard wildlife," said a third co-ordinator

"We need to pierce together what happened … because other satellites specifically totayma's osirus satellite is sure to have picked up the strange resonance from the island and that means they will be sending their own claim and salvage team in as well!" snapped Gina

"Damn why did they change the international claim and salvage rite laws in 2008!" muttered a man from the doorway

"Lets not get into that Ryan! What's important right now is we sent in a team of ten to occupy the diamond deposit while we set up the legalities of our claim only contact has been lost! We need to know what happened down there…and we need to know now!"

"What do we do?" asked a co-ordinator.

"I've called in section heads and our top scientists…we're going to lose the island soon unless we send in another team but we cant send in another team till we know what happened to the alpha team…" said Gina with a grimace…

Half an hour later 30 men and women were in a room together

"Okay this is what we've got… we sent in the alpha team via the Prometheus as there was now clearly defined area to land anything bigger than a standard apache4 chopper… the group was lead by captain Derek Danvers naval seals trained operative…and besides two geologists and an archaeologist the other 6 were all well trained survival experts…" said Gina pulling up stats files on the alpha team

Another man, one of her co-ordinators spoke up "the folks down at imaging were receiving regular feeds at 2 hour intervals… until they discovered this…" the image changed to show an ancient structure

"What the hell is that?" said a scientist pointing to the structure on the video feed

The Gina enlarged the image… "It's a pyramid that resides on the island it was discovered 17 hours ago according to the feeds…"

"Interesting do we have to worry about some third world nation claiming prior rights…" began one of the scientists. Only to see another trembling like a leaf…

"Henry?" Asked mark Jenson the head scientist…

"I think we better stay away from that island said doctor Henry Oslo trembling "I think alpha team is dead. No, not think… I know it! We have to stay away from it…t"

"Henry what are you babbling about?"

"The pyramid! The f#king pyramid!"

"Dr Oslo please what about the pyramid?" asked Ryan

"6 years…6 years…" mumbled Henry softly

"This has to do with your stint at Weyland doesn't it?" asked mark

"Too right it does… 6 years ago we discovered a heat signature deep below the artic surface. Scans discovered it was a pyramid buried below the ice…wanting to clam salvage rites and stake his claim on history Weyland had a team of scientists and mercenary's assembled to go explore the pyramid, Weyland himself leading the team down there…" Henry closed his eyes and sighed

"It ended badly didn't it?" said Gina softly

"It was a disaster… one of the last things we know is there was a tremendous explosion deep beneath the artic floor." Replied Henry

"I remember our satellites picking up what looked like a nuke deep beneath the artic muttered a scientist…"

"But what does this have to do with the pyramid on the island? What's the point of all this panic?" said Terrance Gordon head of celadon financial department

"It's the same! It's near identical! And the point is almost everybody who went down to the pyramid in Antarctica is dead…" said Henry his voice laced with exasperation

"Not everybody… wasn't there a survivor?" asked a scientist

"Yes there was one survivor, which leads on to why I believe the alpha team is dead…" said Henry

"What are you talking about Oslo? What explanation could leave you this jittery?" asked mark

"In 1987 the CIA put together a group of men to travel to an undisclosed central American country to rescue some hostages held by guerrilla fighters…Only 2 people made it out…when questioned they came up with a fantastic story about an alien hunter… a predator so to speak…" said Henry quietly

"What on earth? Oslo…" began mark

"No let me finish mark! In 1990 a L.A police officer, Harrigan I believe his name was claimed it was an alien that had been behind the series of killings that had been happening… the one with the headless bodies."

"I heard about that but I heard nothing about aliens!" said Ryan

"That's because the U.S government didn't want anyone to know about it… they've been trying to catch one for study since 1987"

"That's bullshit! What's this to do with our pyramid?" said Terrance

"According to the only survivor of the '04 expedition Weyland had stumbled a cross some alien hunting ground where aliens go through their right of passage and all that they fight another type of alien a parasitic black shelled beast…"

"And you believed this survivor? That sounds like something off of the sci-fi channel? Oslo we're scientists not given to flights of fancy!" said mark looking at Henry as if he had lost his mind

"I have good reason to believe it's the truth… especially since..."

"Especially since what? Oslo out with it!" said mark Jenson in anger

"The alien described in the '87, '90, and '04 incidents match." Said Henry Oslo

"The physical description is identical in each case… the modus operandi, its tricks… all match "

"No way! You're having me on…" shouted a scientist

"No I'm not, when I joined Celadon 2 years ago I had it confirmed by our government man…"

The room went quiet…

"It's just a coincident … there's no hard evidence just hearsay…" muttered a director

"There have been well-documented cases of people who have never met, never seen the same things coming up with exactly the same descriptions…" muttered a scientist

"Fine don't believe me but if our government connection confirms such an alien, confirms that these hunter/predators are real then that leads credence to the survivor's story about what happened on the Weyland expedition to the artic pyramid!"

"Why hasn't this been brought up before?"

"Because at the time the U.S government didn't want it getting out" said Henry

"We need to talk to the survivor," said a scientist.

"Pretty hard I'm afraid…" Said Henry Oslo…

"The survivor is still alive right?" asked Gina

"Oh yes she's still alive…" said Henry

"Then what? Where is survivor what happened to her?" asked Ryan

"Thomas Weyland truly believed she made it up to hide what he believed to be the truth; he believed she made it up to hide the fact that she had murdered his father. And the others would rather believe that she was unable to deal with the truth and she had gone mad…"

"So they locked her in a mental institution?"

"Mental institution? Oh no they didn't do that… " Said Henry with a sigh

"Then what did they do?"

"They sent her to prison… "
