After a few hours the plane landed, and O'Neill and 'T' walked out of the plane, and Kevin was escorted out by the same four marines who were with him at that Florida Air Force base.

"So…Where are we?"

"You are in the state of Colorado in the city of Colorado Springs."

"Right. Thanks."

Kevin just couldn't get over how weird this guy looked, from the gold emblem on his head, and the way he talked to the strange hat he was now wearing, this man was way too odd looking.

"So why did we come here?"

"We'll discuss that later, right now we have to take those Humvee's over there to the Mountain."

The group walked over to the awaiting vehicles and while O'Neill and 'T' rode in one, Kevin was in the other with 3 different Marines. The trip was quiet, since like the other Marines, these three seemed like nothing could make them say anything. All this silence was driving Kevin CRAZY! He was used to blaring rock music and was forced against his will to ride in a military vehicle with 3 mimes!

They finally arrived to what O'Neill called 'The mountain'. What he forgot to say was that the entire mountain was so secure that it took more checkpoints to get in than he had seen anywhere… He now realized that he broke in to their database, that this must be the most secure place on the planet!

Wow…with all these checkpoints you would think that there would be security in place to prevent common hackers like me from just breaking in. Well, perhaps they were just distracted with something else. Whatever…I guess I'll find out soon enough. It still is weird that they go somewhere underground…

His thoughts were interrupted as the two Humvees stopped inside the base, and the door opened beside him. Awaiting him were…you guessed it, another four marines to escort him to wherever it was they were taking him. Its not that he didn't want to go, his curiosity alone was enough to keep him from running, but the fact that there's all this security for a bunch of NORAD geeks who do nothing but patrol the skies all…day…long…

His thoughts were interrupted as the first elevator came to a stop and the group took the other elevator the rest of the way.

After the long ride down into the mountain, he was taken to a large room with 3 concrete walls and a big metal door. The room seemed to be made for groups to discuss something, what they discuss is anyone's guess. What to do…stand or sit…stand or sit…oh what the heck, I'll take this seat over here. He waited to see what was going to happen. 'Well, at least they didn't execute me yet.' He mumbled.
