Sarah Jane, Luke and wasted no time and soon arrived the London UNIT base deep under the tower of London, where the brigadier's grandson waited in the base's medical unit with a woman who looked about the same age as Sarah Jane.
"Sarah Jane is that you" the woman said as she stood up.
"We came as soon as we heard" Sarah Jane said as she went over to the woman and pulled her into a hug.
"Oh it's so good to see you Sarah Jane, I just wish the circumstances were different," The woman told her.
"How is he" Sarah Jane replied.
"He's still with the doctors" the woman replied.
The woman then turned to Luke.
"And I'm guessing this young man must be Luke" The woman continued.
"Indeed, Luke I'd like you to meet the brigadiers daughter Kate" Sarah Jane introduced.
"James has told me a lot about you" Kate replied.
"So what happened to the brigadier?" Luke asked.
"We don't really know it's all a bit of a mystery," Kate answered.
"Apparently he just collapsed" James added.
About an hour latter Sanjay arrived with Sky and the others and everyone waited for what seemed like an age, until the door of the room opened and a young UNIT doctor came into the room.
"What's happening, is dad alright?" Kate asked as she and jumped to her feet.
"The brigadier's still unconscious but his condition is stable, strange thing is there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him" the doctor explained.
"What you can't find anything at all," James asked.
The doctor shook his head.
"No he just seems to be in a deep sleep, the only thing we did find is he appears to be a small hole at the base of his neck any idea what that might be" The doctor continued
"None I'm afraid" James replied.
"Can we see him?" Kate asked.
"I don't think that would be for the best right now" The doctor answered.
"Please it would mean a lot to us," Sarah Jane said.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt for one of you to go in," The doctor continued.
"Thank you" Sarah Jane replied
"You want to go in James" Kate asked her son.
"No it should be you mum," James answered.
"Ok" Kate replied with a nod.
"If you would like to follow me," The doctor added as he opened the door.
Kate then left with the young doctor, and once she was out of sight James slumped down on a chair and held his head in his hands.
"You ok" Sarah Jane asked as she sat down next to him.
James nodded.
"Just had to keep it together for mum," James said as he wiped a tear from his eye.
"I know" Sarah Jane told him as she put an arm around him.
"Don't worry James I'm sure it'll take more than a deep sleep to stop your granddad"
Luke told him.
"Yeah" James replied with a smile.
Sarah Jane then turned to Luke.
"Luke maybe you and the gang should go and get something to eat" Sarah Jane said.
"Sure" Luke answered.
Luke and the others then left the room.
"Can this really be happening" James said.
"Doesn't seem real does it" Sarah Jane replied.
James shook his head.
"No it doesn't" James answered.
"Why don't you start at the being James, Tell me what happened?" Sarah Jane asked.
"There's someone you need to talk to" James told her.
James then led Sarah Jane and into another room where a teenage boy sat.
"This is Sarah Jane, can you tell them what you told me," James asked the boy.
The boy slowly nodded.
"It all started a few days ago" The boy began.
A lone car drove across the darkness of the countryside late one night, inside a man sat with the boy who was busy reading a map.
"We must be there by now," the man driving said.
"Should be just over this hill Professor," the teenager told him.
"I hope so, it seems we've been driving for hours," The professor answered.
He continued to drive until he and the boy saw a bright light in the distance.
"Over there" the boy said as he pointed towards it.
The Professor headed over to the light and soon came to a fenced off area, which was lit by floodlights. The professor quickly parked his car and was greeted another man.
"Thank you for coming so quickly" the man said as they shook hands.
"Oh I wouldn't have missed this for the world, allow me to introduce my assistant
Steven" The professor continued.
"Pleased to meet you, the professors told me a lot about you brigadier" Steven said as he held out his hand.
"Oh I'm sure he has, I'm guessing you have the same thirst for knowledge Steven" Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge Stuart said as he shook Stevens hand.
"Indeed" Steven nodded in agreement.
"Then let's not waste a moment longer" The brigadier replied with a smile.
The brigadier then led the professor and Steven to a large dig site and soon came to the remains of a large stone circle with a stone figure stood in the centre.
"It can't be" the boy said in amazement as he looked up at the figure which had the head of a Jackal.
"I know a statue of an Egyptian god in the middle of the English countryside, it's unheard of," The brigadier told him.
"Where are these inscriptions you found" The professor asked.
"On a tablet bellow the statue" The brigadier explained as they walked to the statue
The professor then examined the tablet.
"Now I see what you meant by the writing being strange," The professor told the man.
"It's sure not Egyptian" Steven added.
"No it appears to be more than one language" The professor replied.
"What does that mean?" The brigadier asked.
"It means brigadier that this may be the first human language ever written" The professor answered.
But before the professor could say anymore the silence of the night was broken by the sound of vehicles approaching.
The professor and the brigadier turned to see a group of black 4x4's pull up to the dig site, soldieries then appeared from the 4x4 and surrounded them.
"What is the meaning of this?" The brigadier demanded.
"We're taking charge of this site brigadier," A voice told him.
"By whose authority" The brigadier continued.
"That would be mine" Another voice replied.
The brigadier turned to see Anna Tellos walking towards him.
"So we meet again Colonel, I suggest you order your men to stand down at once" The brigadier told her.
"I'm sorry brigadier but we don't take orders from UNIT anymore, and you and your friends are my prisoners" Anna replied.
She then nodded to the soldiers who grabbed the brigadier Steven and the professor.
"You won't get away with this colonel," the professor told her.
"Oh this is just the beginning of what's to come" Anna added.
The brigadier and the others were then taken to a large black van and pushed inside; the door was then closed behind them.
"What do you think there going to do with us?" Steven asked.
The Professor shook his head.
"I don't know," he answered.
"Who are they anyway?" Steven continued.
"Forma members of the UNIT black ops" The told him.
"Blacks ops?" Steven repeated.
The brigadier nodded.
"They used to keep certain secrets secret but the colonel and her men became a problem so they were disbanded" The brigadier explained.
"Well it appears there now working for someone else," The professor said.
"But what would they want with a statue of an Egyptian God" Steven added.
The van then drove for what seemed like hours until it eventually stopped and the door flew opened and Anna and group of men appeared
"I demand you free us at once" The professor told her as they were led from the van.
"You are in a position to demand nothing professor" Anna answered.
"But you have no right keeping us" Steven replied.
Anna turned to him.
"Really, then I guess we have a problem because you're not going anywhere until I get what I want" Anna continued.
"What do you want?" The professor asked.
Anna turned back to face him.
"Your help of cause, we want you to decipher the inscription below the statue and I need to know what it says," Anna explained.
"And if I refuse" The professor answered.
Anna then nodded to her men, who grabbed Steven and punched him the stomach,
"No, that was uncalled for" The brigadier almost yelled.
"Do we understand each other?" Anna added ignoring the brigadier.
"Alright, I help you just leave him alone" The professor replied.
Anna then nodded again and the men let Steven go, who then fell to his knees clutching his sides.
"After you professor" Anna said as she gestured towards a large building.
The professor didn't answer her and just walked towards the building, Anna then turned to Steven and the brigadier who was helping Steven up.
"You ok" the brigadier asked.
The teenager nodded.
"Yeah, they just winded me," Steven told him.
"Please don't keep me waiting brigadier," Anna warned.
"We better do as she says" The brigadier told Steven.
The brigadier and Steven followed the professor into the building.
Anna had led them to a large warehouse were the statue of the Egyptian god stood in the centre of the room.
"You've moved it I see," The brigadier said.
"Just making sure the professor gets no interruptions," Anna replied.
"You thought of everything haven't you colonel," The brigadier continued.
"You of all people should know I always do," Anna answered.
"Well then, I guess I better get to work" The professor replied as he walked up to the statue and looked at the inscription.
"Do to recognise the language at all" Anna asked.
The professor shook his head.
"Like I said at the dig site it appears to be more than one language, it's unlike anything I've ever seen before," The professor told her.
"Your attempted deceit is amusing" a voice said.
The professor turned to see a shadowy figure of a man stood on a balcony above him.
"But we both know you understand the language this inscription is written in professor, or should I call you Doctor" The man added.
