THE CELESTIAL ANGELS -PART FOUR
Adam and Tara look at one another, their hands are locked together as the lights and particles glitter around them in the recreation centre.
{WARNING: CODE 4 Commander Koenig and the alien are about to leave Alpha and head towards the nucleus...PUT CODE RED into operation...}
And as Adam opened his eyes a red aura overwhelmes him as the room around him suddenly becomes transparent...and they are faced with the WAR COUNCIL.
Adam and Tara clasp hands as they shudder. The long dead. The long and aged old dead of the war council..
The eight podiums stand around them in a circle. The air is cool. There is a twlight and there is cobwebs floating in the air.
Adam looks up to the first podium.
"War Council...listen...listen with your ancient old ears. Listen to the new lifeseed that will reborne our race once more..."
Silence.
The eerie shadowery figure on top of the podium looks down at him. But you cannot see the face...the face is shrouded in the cobwebs.
Tara looks at Adam, "Are we too late Thsese...Are we too late and lost the life cycle?"
"The life cycle has started, Chsese...it started when the lifeseeds entered our realm...just how it was written in the ancient scriptures of Zsasese"
Tara nods.
"Now...let us meet Commander Koenig...as his Eagle craft comes to land in the nucleus"
Eagle Two-Ten cruises towards the position where the on-board computer picks up the presence.
"Koenig to Alpha we are in position...linking up our on board computer with yours Alpha"
There is no contact.
"Alpha? Are you reading me? Alpha?!"
Paul Morrow turns from the flight controls, he shrugs, "I deduce that we have lost contact, commander"
Koenig narrows his eyes at him. Both sat there at the healm of the Eagle craft in their spacesuits, "I can SEE that! But what is it that's causing it...my guess is that it has something to do with our two friends down there on Alpha"
Morrow nods.
Then points.
"Up ahead commander..."
Koenig looks up from the flight controls. There is something there, like an opening. An opening that is so well hidden that even the constellations mask it.
"Anything from the onboard computer?", he asks.
Paul presses a few switches with his gloved hand, "Nothing commander"
Koenig rolls his tongue around his mouth and grabs hold of the thruster controls, "well, we can't just hang around up here...lets push forward"
As the boosters jet, the Eagle moves into the opening.
As it cruises on forwards, Koenig looks out of the windows ahead to see that they were now inside somekind of tunnel. Like that of a network of caves. Space it seems has completely disappeared from view.
"The on-board computer is going haywire commander"
Koenig looks at the readings. The computer was churning out something that didn't make sense...it was like a foreign language.
"Well...it's to late to turn back now"

Victor Bergman rubs his cheek and looks at Kano, "This is somekind of translation, am I right?"
Kano holds his hands together where he sits at his terminal, "Computer was picking up a signal from the position where the commanders Eagle disappeared professor...it seems that their on-board computer may of boosted up the signal on contact..."
Helena Russell was then at Victors side, by the look on her face he could tell she was still concerned about the Eagles sudden disappearence.
"There's still nothing Helena...I'm sorry", he soothes.
"But what happened to them, Victor? All I got was that one minute it was there, and the next minute...it was gone"
Bergman shakes his head, "That's the base of it...but I'm sure that he is okay...my guess is, is that there is something out there, something we cannot see..."
Helena follows the old man's gaze up to the big screen.
Kano turns, "Professor...there's more..."

Main Mission personnel look at one another for answers. Helena turns to Victor, "It sounds like a last transmission...it HAS to be something to do with where Adam and Tara, or whoever they are now, came from"
Victor rubs his cheek again and turns to Sandra, "Sandra keep trying to contact the commander will you...David, I want you to print all that data off for me, will you...I need to go away and think before I confront those two at the recreation centre"
"Yes Professor...", and Kano sets to work.

Eagle Two-Ten cruises along the tunnel. Koenig and Morrow set their gazes out ahead concentrating hard to negotiate the Eagle around some narrow turns. The The commander suddenly points, "There...look"
Morrow looks up and could also see that the cave was fading away and up ahead of them was a narrow strip of land. And on this land was the decaying remains of a once and former city.
Koenig tries to take everything in as they pilot the Eagle up above the crumbing transmission spires and great chunks of therma tanks that looked like it was once a store of some powerful energy supply.
More jargon scrolled the small screen. Nothing making sense. Well not to Koenig. As part of the once collective, Morrow knew exactly what it meant...but he was going to wait...he was going to set this to his own advantage.
IF THERE WAS EVER A CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE PRISON THAT WAS A MOONBASE FULL OF PRIMITIVE MINDS...THEN THIS WAS IT...he smiles, but his train of thought is interrupted..
Koenig points, "Over there...seems like somekind of plaza, lets set this thing down and have a look around..."
