The Alien Star Chamber (Part One) (11 page)

Everyone there seemed to be the source of
all the trouble! Even Commander Craven looked a suspect, because of
the Russian’s direct attack against him!

The final conclusion to the problem was
staggering to Weaver, and he never realized that he would be the
one with it in the end and that he would solve the problem!

While the Russians had all been silently
eating their meals Weaver had passed the dinning room and he
realized that they knew more! So he returned and they offered him a
seat beside them, and he grabbed something to eat, and he started
talking to them and asking them about what had happened!

“
Where do you think he had the
object?” he asked one them, who properly translated it to the
others.

They all discussed it and he heard some
replies in English and some Russian words but he got little.

“
They are not sure!” the Russian
replied, which interested him as it suggested that they knew
something.

“
Where did he go before he entered the
dinning room and pull out the gun?”

They all went silent and he saw one react
strangely and knew that he might get what he wanted after all, and
was surprised when he described that he had gone into a hut and
that it was the one with the vehicle that had the petrol meter
cleaned by someone!

He realized that it could have been there
all along. He tried getting more from them but they never had
anything else. He knew there was something, but just could not
grasp what! Was Reeves capable of taking it and selling it? It was
worth a vast amount of money if he found a place to sell it, which
he might be able to do through someone to the military!

He decided to tell Reeves and Commander
Craven about it and take them to the hut and the vehicle to look
for it, as perhaps the person that took it had hidden it somewhere
else there and they might find something altered and see where he
could have put it!

When they entered the hut he and Reeves saw
straightaway the place around the vehicle had been altered and that
the Russian had smashed parts of the vehicle with something!

“
Well!” Commander Craven groaned.
“This is where he had it hidden!

Reeves started examining the vehicle and
Weaver realized that the object had to have been on the vehicle and
he should have looked in other places on it.

“
For some reason he seems to have
smashed the bottom out of the petrol tank?” Reeves
stated.

Weaver gasped and stood staring at it!

“
It looks as though it was in the
petrol tank!” Commander Craven confirmed.

“
I checked there though!” Weaver
replied, and realized that it might have been in the petrol tank
all along and that someone had taken it before him or that it had
been hidden in some secret compartment area of the petrol
tank.

“
So you checked there and never found
anything at all?” Reeves continued.

“
There was an old piece of rusted
metal in the remains of a plastic bag!” he answered.

“
Where did it go?”

“
I threw it over there!” he replied,
pointing over into some rubbish.

Reeves swiftly bent over the rubbish and
searched through it until he found it, and cleaned what Weaver had
thought had been a piece of rusted metal, and showed them that it
was a sphere of some type, which he proved was the same material as
the voyager, and that it could not be damaged!

Chapter 23

The Alien Sphere

The black alien
sphere rested in his hand and he played with it! Wondering what the
hell it was! None of them had worked out what it was!

They had
earlier arrived back at Ice Station X1, and left the freezing old
Russian ice station behind, and they had just taken the alien
sphere into the cavity with voyager to show the scientists, and
they still had not solved what it was and all of them had
repeatedly examined it!

All the
scientists there were working away on various projects, and they
had clearly been making progress in many regions!

The whole
cavity seemed alive with action, with scientists and technicians
discussing things and doing research, and monitoring equipment that
was carrying out various functions.

The commander
of the Russian base took the alien sphere and examined it trying to
grasp what they had been talking about and what all the fuss had
been about. It definitely was the real alien sphere! The people
that had admitted seeing it also confirmed it! The soldiers all
were astounded with it and that it was such a deadly ultimate
object, created by the vast advanced alien technology that had
created the voyager!

How could such
a small device have such vast powers? Perhaps it used powers from
elsewhere or created something like a chain reaction that could
destroy the planet!

Many of the
scientists examined it and could not find anything, and he noticed
Willis knew something so he finally showed it to him and he
examined it.

“
What do
think of it?” Weaver asked. “You’re the one that has been in
contact with it!”

“
I think
it could function by thoughts!”

Willis
concentrated his thoughts on the object and closed his eyes, and
tried to do something! Then Weaver started to wonder about the
dangers of it! What if it was activated by the mind? That could
mean anyone there could activate the thing. And they could do it
deliberately or accidentally!

To their
surprise the alien sphere split in half, opening up, and at first
Weaver thought that it was empty but when he looked closer at it he
started to see a small piece of something, which Willis removed
carefully and they all looked at what looked like a slide for a
small slide projector, and they stared at it bewildered.

Weaver
examined the sphere shell and found nothing else, and it was only a
container for the slide!

“
The
thing is empty!” one of the scientists announced, and Weaver put it
away in his pocket, and they examined the slide.

What the hell
was a slide doing there? If it was a slide? They had become so
engrossed in finding an ultimate weapon and finding it that they
just stood staring.

“
There’s
a lens over there!” a scientist announced, and marched away to get
it, and quickly returned with it and they used it to see the
slide.

Willis
examined it first and swiftly passed it over to Weaver for him to
examine.

“
It’s
definitely a slide with something on it?”

“
It’s a
microfilm!” Weaver confirmed, but he could not see what was on it,
and started to realize that it could be more valuable than he
thought.

It surely had
to be the plans of the ultimate weapon! If they actually had the
weapon they might not have been able to construct another or even
find out how to use it! The material it was made of was
indestructible and they would not have been able to open it and
would have only had one of them, which might not have been as
deadly as they imagined anyway. If the plans were there they could
construct it and discover how it worked and use the technology for
other things! And as far as he was concerned it was worth far more
and he wondered why he was allowing all of the scientists and
Russian scientists to see it, and he started to realize how
dangerous it was becoming, and how much it actually was worth and
why the renegades had been killing so many for it!

He decided to
remain silent as they were unable to see any detail on it, and he
started trying to find a way to get it.

As he watched
the reactions of the Russian scientists and soldiers and their
sudden aggressive communications and their reactions starting to
become hostile he started to realize that they surely were going to
get hold of it and he could tell by Willis’s behavior that he was
thinking the same thing. He even thought of running away with it
and hiding it away and calling in some more intelligence agents to
help him. But that would be incredibly stupid as they had cameras
and surveillance all around there now.

The person
that looked the least interested in it was Willis who only tried to
examine it further to clarify some point, and he wondered what he
had planned. He kept showing he had more interest in the
voyager!

To their
surprise Willis looked at the Russians about him aggressively and
removed a lighter and set fire to the microfilm, and they all just
watched it burn away into nothing!

Weaver watched
in amazement and surprise as all the scientists about them started
clapping their hands, and the Russian scientists started clapping
louder and he joined in and he realized that they never wanted
anyone to have the weapon!

Chapter 24

The Final
Solution

The voyager was
tremendous and they had surrounded it with all their equipment,
even embedded through the ice below, as they attempted to study it
as far as they could. Its powers were immense and it was found to
have many other powers existing beyond the universe, in outer
dimensions and time zones.

A Russian
scientist announced to Willis and Weaver, “We have the technology
to communicate with it!”

“
I will
still have to create a first contact situation mentally with it!”
Willis answered firmly. “It is not going to easy!”

“
So
what’s happening?” Weaver asked, anxiously waiting for a reply to
what was occurring, after days of watching them at work, and Willis
preparing himself.

“
I’ll
tell you what I know!” Willis stated, wishing Weaver to know what
was happening. “It was damaged and the controller/entity crashed it
into this world and next to the ice station, mainly due to the
transmissions from the equipment and telescope that they have below
the station that has been repeatedly transmitting first contact
messages throughout the stars for many years! I believe it intended
to repair itself or have us do it for it! Even in its dormant state
it attempted to revive its voyager! Its energy was also exhausted,
and it crashed deliberately, where it believed if it was not helped
either that it would be revived someday if it remained on a world
like this! They would find a way to revive it or
something!

“
It
chose me and in its dormant state had shown me what had happened to
it, but it had been unsuccessful in what it had intended to
do.

“
It
chose to allow one of the Russians to make another contact attempt
to check if it had missed something in its dormant state and it was
unsuccessful again, and it had rewarded him with what he had wanted
and an ultimate weapon that could win world wars.

“
It
could not use him or me in the state we are in! It could not alter
us without killing us! It is far too weak to think properly and
control the voyager and needs an altered human that will be able to
do what it wants, and I believe that it has enough energy to get to
a powerful energy source to revive its energy supplies and its own
energy and repair itself.”

“
Did you
get that from it?”

“
I got
most of it through communications and from experiences with it! I
am ready and I am going to persuade it to take me aboard
again!”

Willis rested
and concentrated on thoughts that he had accumulated and moved near
the voyager, and where the entrance was located, and they all
watched the entrance hole appear and they fitted a ramp under it
and he climbed up into it.

Weaver gasped
and felt something from somewhere like something incredible was
about to take place.

“
I
believe that what’s active now is the equivalent to our
subconscious mind!” a scientist announced from Weaver’s side,
sitting at some equipment monitoring what was happening. “While it
is in a type of sleep or suspended animation, which carries out
various functions for it.”

Weaver was
left confused in what Willis intended to do and started to see the
problem in more depth, and it might not work.

“
I am
picking up communication thoughts from it!” the scientist
announced. “I believe that he is persuading it to make a copy of
him for some reason! No! He wants it to make an altered version of
him that can carry out what it wants! It has accepted it and is
creating the copy!”

Weaver watched
all the scientists stop work all around the voyager, waiting for
something to happen!

Chapter 25

The Voyager from Beyond
Reality

Colossal
explosions of energy blasted out with so much force that they
threatened to start doing damage to the physical universe, and he
imagined space and time becoming unbalanced and warped, and he
wondered what damage the world could be subjected to!

Echoes of
conversations haunted his mind as he considered why they had not
moved away when they had activated it!

The vast powers surrounding them were
staggering and Weaver wondered why he had not considered the entity
as being dangerous and he felt sorry for Willis and wondered if he
could escape alive, and he contemplated the dangers and his chances
of survival!

The voyager had formed a perfect energy form
of itself, clearly of transcendent origins, and pulsated in the
center of the cavity, as all the scientists sheltered around the
rim of the cavity, and he wondered why nobody attempted to try to
make it to the doorway into the Russian base, and looked there and
saw people near there were rushing there.
