Thanks so much to TheRebelFlower for the lovely review
Here's the next chapter, sorry it's only short
Chapter 2
"I wonder what this technology could be that even Colonel White hasn't been let in on the secret" Blue pondered as they made their way towards DragonTech laboratories.
They had landed the hummingbird at a local airbase and were driving towards the lab in a car that had been provided for them. Captain Scarlet was behind the wheel; Captain Blue was sat behind him, with Doctor Gold occupying the front passenger seat.
"I don't know Adam, but whatever it is it must be something big for them to have kept it this quiet" Scarlet replied. He had also wondered why no one at Skybase had been privy to this information. Especially considering they were Earth's main defence against a Mysteron attack. "Although I will admit that this security breach has me concerned"
"Oh?" Doctor Gold looked over at Scarlet "I thought they had not found anything suspicious"
"But for a lab in their position to experience a security breach, which they can't pinpoint – or that nothing was taken..." Scarlet continued
"Surely if the Mysterons had targeted the lab due to this research, wouldn't they have either taken or destroyed whatever it was they had perceived as a threat?" Blue asked, understanding Scarlet's concerns
"Unless whatever it is they are working on, for Spectrum at least- isn't a threat after all" the doctor commented
"What do you mean Doc?" Blue asked again
"Maybe whatever they are working on isn't effective in destroying the Mysterons so they didn't see the need to do anything after all"
"Or maybe it had nothing to do with the Mysterons at all. Maybe it was someone from a rival company, or a disgruntled former employee-or just a simple systems glitch. Could be anything" Blue added
"You could be right – either of you" Scarlet said nodding his agreement at his companions theories "However we still need answers, even if it does just turn out to be a simple systems glitch."
"I would still feel better if we knew more about what was going on in there" Blue muttered, more to himself than the others in the car, as he turned his head to look out the window at the passing scenery.
"Just remember that as far as anyone is concerned we are here to check out the facilities. But we must stay alert, in case there is something more going on here"
"S.I.G" Blue and Gold said in reply to Scarlet's words
They continued the remainder of their short journey to the laboratory in silence. Each man contemplating about what it was they were likely to face once they got there; what the potential outcomes could be. Not only for Spectrums chances in defeating the Mysterons, but on Earth's chances too. Of course they all realised that until they knew exactly what was being developed at DragonTech and how they could use it in the fight against the Mysterons, their thoughts were nothing but speculation
'And I have a feeling they are not going to be very forthcoming' thought Scarlet, as he brought the car to a stop at the security gate leading at the entrance of DragonTech laboratories.
