Patricia wakes up with a terrible headache the next day. She had to maintain control of the transport they flew back from Egypt. There were a few close calls on the way back. A few of the satellites in orbit almost picked them up. If it wasn’t for Ghost accessing them and clearing their memory. They might have been in trouble.

She grabs some aspirins from her med kit and swallow them. They were strong enough to affect her, but if any one else took them. They would be knocked out. Andy and Tammie were still upset at her for what happened to Janet.

What happened to her, had to happen. That much couldn’t be changed. Patricia moves around slowly as she heads towards the showers.
Once the shower was to the way she liked it. She stood under it and just let the water and heat massage her body. She so liked having water showers, instead of sonic showers.

“Ghost, has there been any change to history?” Patricia washes her hair as she waits for Ghost to respond back.

“Negative, Pat. There haven’t been any changes.” Ghost was deciphering and translating the language in the alien craft for Janet.

Pat knew she didn’t need Ghost to do that, but it would move things along. She stays in the shower for a while. Once she is done and dress. She heads towards the hangar they placed the alien craft in.

She was stopped several times before she was allowed to enter the hangar. Most of the guards already knew she could wipe the floor with them. They saw her practice with one of their best fighters and she took him down in no time.

Patricia walks into the hangar and looked at the alien ship. She already knew every inch of it. What cargo it still had was sitting off to the side with a team going over it.

Patricia notices that Ivy and her other older sister Sally were working with their mother. Sally was Janet’s fourth born daughter and exceptionally bright. She wasn’t as smart as her older sister, but she was still exceptionally smart. She had a knack for building or finding solutions, most people ignored.

“How’s it going, Sally?” Pat walks over towards her.

Sally turns around to look at Patricia. She had short dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She stood about 5’8” and got her brains from her mother, Janet. Her height was from Tammi’s side of the family.

“It’s going fine. You know, you could save all us the trouble of finding out about this ship and just give the information to us.” Sally looks at the woman they called Patricia.

“I can’t do that. You, your mom, Andy and Chris needs to learn this for yourself.” Pat would love too, but she didn’t want to change history.

“So, how long has this been underground?” Sally was walking around the outside of the spacecraft.

She could tell where they had done repairs to it. The repairs themselves weren’t too bad. They looked like they had taken parts off some of the container to fix the breeches the ship had.

“Let’s just say it has been buried for a very long time. Even the aliens we brought back are still in stasis pods.”

“I saw. Why are we keeping them here? Won’t someone from their home world come looking for them?” Sally was worried about an invasion.

“They aren’t going to worry about them. They more than likely have been written off. It’s been hundred of years since the ship has crashed landed here.” Pat looks at one docking hook-up.

“If its hundreds of years old. How is it going to give my mother an advantage?” Sally was confused on that part.

“The technology is really simple. You, your mother and brother can figure it out in no time. Especially your mother. She had the knowledge uploaded into her mind.” Pat couldn’t give Sally much more information.

Sally just goes back to what she was doing before Patricia interrupted her. She finds it a little hard that she was from the future. Still, so far everything she has said has come true.

Patricia walks up to the command bridge and looks around. Some changes will need to be done, before a human could use it. She notices several of Janet’s technicians translating the information to English.

“Here, let me help you guys.” Pat touches the console and merge with the on-board computer system.

She reaches out to Ghost and download his translation program. It reprograms everything to English. She even adds in a few self-repair commands to fix the ship.

“There, that should do it. Everything should translate to English and tell you if there are any problems.” Pat felt her head hurt her a little bit.

She ignores it. The pain should be gone in a little while.

The technician looks at Patricia with an angry look on her face “I was studying the Language, so I could understand how it develop.”

“All you have to do is check the computer now. You can get a history of the race.” Pat walks off the bridge and head towards the hangar where her fighter was stored.

“Ghost, can you join me or are you still working with Janet?” Patricia taps the control panel to let her in.

The guards don’t bother to stop her, since it was her fighter. She walks over to it and sit down on the seat. She hears the door open and Ghost comes flying in.

“Where are you off to Pat?” Ghost takes his place in the fighter as it seals itself up.

“I just need to be in the air for a while, Ghost.” Pat starts the fighter systems and contact the tower to get clearance.

The overhead hangar doors open for her as she slowly hovers off the floor. She activates her stealth systems and fly off. She needed this as she flies up to the exosphere and just orbits the Earth. Ghost systems pin points where all the debris is circling the planet.

“Pat, you know we could eliminate most of this debris with our lasers.” Ghost figures it would take three to four shots with the lasers. Set on wide beam dispersal to clear all the junk.

“I know, but I don’t want to alert any one to our presence.” Pat already knew she was taking a chance every time she took Ghost out.

Pat just orbits around the planet. When she comes close to some of the government satellites, she makes sure they couldn’t record her. As she is drifting around the planet “Pat, I’m picking up an unknown fighter coming into our system.”

Ghost brings the fighter up on the HUD system. It was currently near Saturn. Pat didn’t recognize the design of the fighter.

“Plot an intercept course.” Pat didn’t have her flight suit on.

“Course plotted and engaging engines.” Ghost breaks orbit and heads towards Saturn.

Patricia was racking her brain to try and identify which alien government used the type of fighter she was looking at. As far as she knew, this craft was unknown to her.
