RonaldM40196867: It's suppose to be Area 51. Yes.
lixiaofossil: I don't think that's how it works. Nor they can track their own craft. I really don't knoew tbh.
Here's chapter 23 everybody.
Chapter 23: Alien Arrival.
At an entrance checkpoint at Area 95, a guard noticed a large group of RVs, cars. and pickup trucks. He goes outside the booth with two guards holding automatic weapons to stop one pickup truck, where Michael was riding at the back.
"Captain Michael Wilson, Osean Air Defense Force." Michael said as he saluted the guard. The guard returns the salute.
"I'm sorry, Captain. This is a restricted area. I can't let you pass without clearance." the guard said.
Michael was annoyed by this.
"Okay. Come here." Michael said wanting to get the guard to come forward. "You want to see my clearance?"
The guards walk forward nervously at what Michael is about to show him. Michael then grabs a part of his parachute to reveal the unconscious alien underneath it. The guard gasped and stuttered at the sight.
"Maybe I'll just leave this here with you." Michael said.
"Let them pass. Let them pass!" the guard ordered the two guards holding the weapons.
"Get the hell out of the way." Michael said as his truck started moving along with the other vehicles.
"Did you see that?" the guard asked another guard.
Meanwhile, back at the underground facility, Doctor Weber and his assistant are leading Henry inside the alien attacker's cockpit.
"Well, obviously. this cockpit was designed to seat three, though how they sat on that, I don't know." Weber said, referring to the alien's narrow seats that are still inside the craft. "Okay, you see these gizmos flashing?" Weber said, referring to flashing lights at the control panel.
"Yeah." Henry
"We've been working around the clock trying to get a fix on all this crap. Some stuff we figured out right away. Uh, this, we're pretty sure, is the life support system for the cabin. And this is connected to-" Weber said before he accidentally pulled out a device. "...was connected to the engine. Here. Take that, will ya?" Weber said, handing a device to his assistant. Weber then turns his attention to some display screens. "Uh, these configurations, uh...Well, to be honest, we don't know what the hell this crap is. But this is clearly what they use to guide and navigate their craft."
"That's very good. Somebody grab my laptop there? Doctor Baker, can I just have the computer inside there?" Henry asked.
"What?" Weber asked as Henry turned his attention back to the display screens.
"See these patterns here? They're repeating sequentially, just like their countdown signal. They're using that frequency for computer communications. See?" Henry said as he shows the same patterns on his laptop. "That's how they're coordinating their ships."
"Huh. Ya know...you're really starting to make us look bad." Weber said.
Meanwhile, outside the ship, one doctor runs up the ramp before yelling...
"They got one! They got one alive!"
"They got one. Alive." Weber's female assistant Doctor Baker said.
"Fine, Doctor Weber." Henry replied.
"Yeah-Uh, don't touch anything." Weber said before he left.
"Why is he always telling me not to touch anything? Look." Henry said, touching the craft before noticing some stuff on his hand. "Oh...that's why."
Back on the surface, Osean army soldiers, scientists, and doctors, including Weber, were running towards the pickup truck where Michael was riding with the alien body.
"Right here. We got her in the back of the pickup." Michael said before saluting an Osean Army commander. "How you doing, sir. Captain Michael Wilson, Osean Air Defense Force. Guess who's comin' to dinner."
Meanwhile, Howard was desperately calling for a doctor to check on his son, Elliot, who is awfully ill. Weber approached the alien body that was placed on a stretcher.
"Oh boy. How long has it been unconscious?" Weber asked.
"About 3 hours." Michael replied.
"Let's get him into containment, stat." Weber said.
"My son, he's very sick. He needs immediate attention." Howard said, trying to get attention.
"He's drying out. I want him sprayed down with saline." Weber said, referring to the alien.
"He has a problem with his adrenal cortex. Please!" Howard said while his oldest son Tony looked on.
Doctor Baker was about to punch in a code, but Howard grabs her in frustration.
"If you don't do something about it right now, my son will die!" Howard said.
"Okay! Just help him!" Weber ordered.
"Okay. Smith, Martin, you come with us. You take us to him, okay. Let's go." Baker said.
"Okay. Move it! Move it! Move it!" Weber ordered the Osean soldiers as they brought the alien inside.
Meanwhile, at a communications room at the underground facility, Edwards and Shepherd were upset with Hurley.
"As the former head of the OIA, you knew about this place. When were you planning on informing the rest of us?" Edwards asked.
"It has been deemed classified." Hurley replied.
"You should have told us about this when they first arrived. You should have warned us before we launched a counterattack that cost us the lives of hundreds of Osean pilots!" Shepherd yelled.
"There was no way we could have known that our fighters would have been that ineffective against their attackers." Hurley said Wilford arrived.
"Mr. President." Hurley said to Wilford.
"The little bit of information that we have comes directly into this room." the radar officer said.
"Apito, Rutherford and Lumen…destroyed." Wilford said.
"We've learned that IUN and allied Installations were the first to be taken out. Then we were all hit. They knew exactly where and how to hit us." Shepherd said.
"And our forces?" Wilford asked.
"We're down to 15%. If you calculate the time it takes to destroy a city and move on, we're looking at the worldwide destruction of every major city...in the next 36 hours." Shepherd said.
Wilford couldn't believe what he just heard. It came to him what the alien invaders are doing to the human race.
"We're being exterminated." Wilford said.
Suddenly, Lincoln came in with Michael.
"Mr. President. This is Captain Michael Wilson." Lincoln introduced.
"Captain." Wilford said, shaking Michael's hand.
"Mr. President." Michael said, shaking Wilford's hand.
"Well done. Where is it now?" Wilford asked, knowing about the alien arrival.
"We have it isolated down in the containment lab, sir." Lincoln replied.
"I'd like to go see it." Wilford said.
Once Wilford and his staff leave, Michael approaches Shepherd.
"General, I'm really anxious to get back to McKimson Air Force Base." Michael said.
There was a second of silence before Shepherd spoke.
"Hasn't anyone told you? McKimson Air Force Base has been completely destroyed." Shepherd said before leaving.
Michael didn't want to believe what he heard. McKimson is destroyed. He doesn't want to think that his wife Laila and his son Darius are killed, but he doesn't believe that. What can he do now?
And that's the end of the chapyer. Well, the alien has arrived so things are definitely gonna get interesting. More Osean cities and others from other countries have been destroyed and people continue to suffer from the alien invasion. Anyway, please review. :)
