Travel Through Time and Space Part 7

Printer-friendly version

William kept looking around as his friend Andy was up topside. He had found a weird object in the shape of an orb and it had hieroglyphs on it.
Some of the hieroglyphs looked like the writing on the statue. As he was examining the orb, one of his fingers had touched one of the symbols. The next thing he knew, he couldn’t move, and a weird energy field surrounded his body. He tried to scream as he felt his body change. He could feel his bones, muscles, skin, hair, and eyes change. The pain he felt was so strong that, he was on the vague of blacking out as he felt his body changed.

Aero Flight Industries:
Janet and Tammie were laying in bed when they hear the emergency line for the kid’s ring. Tammie answers the phone on her side of the bed.

“Hello?”

“Tammie it’s Andy. I need to talk to my mother.” Andy knew his mother was in a lesbian relationship with Tammie.

It had started after the death of his father. Tammie had been hired to be his mother’s new bodyguard. The relationship hadn’t happened overnight. It had been years after the death of his father that his mother became Tammie’s lover and a year after she did, they got married.

“What’s the problem, Andy?” As Tammie gently shakes Janet’s shoulder.

“Are you near a computer right now?” The images that he took should be on the server.

“Yea.” She grabs the remote keyboard and switches the screen on the television from TV to computer.

She looks at Janet who was slowly waking up. Janet had been spending long hours working with Ghost on how Patricia got here. She knew Janet was working on a way to send her home.

“I upload some pictures to the server. Go to my folder and the pictures should be there.” Andy looks around at the desert as he spoke to his other mother.

He didn’t mind Tammie marrying his mother. He knew the two of them were deeply in love. He knew she cared about his mother. They had used donated sperm from one of Tammie’s brothers to have his other siblings.

Tammie goes to the folder that held Andy’s stuff and clicked at the newest downloads that had been added. She saw the pictures but couldn’t believe them.

“Where did you get these images, Andy?” Tammie shakes Janet again to get her attention.

Janet wanted to smack Tammie for waking her. She was having a nice dream.

“WHAT?” Janet looks at Tammie pissed off.

“See what your son just found grumpy pants.” Tammie knew Janet was a grumpy person if she was disturbed while she was asleep.

Janet looks at the pictures and couldn’t believe it.

“Are these images real?” Janet presses the button on the phone for speaker.

“They are real, mom. I saw the ship myself. It’s under the Temple of Osiris in a large cavern that looks like it is some sort of underground hangar.”

“Are you calling me from down inside?” Janet knew her son carried one of her covert satellite phones.

“No ma’am, no electronic signal can escape from down there.” Andy knew all the electronic devices they had except their cameras wouldn’t work.

Tammie was still looking through the pictures he sent. Janet was looking at them as well. This is what Patricia said would happen.

“I’ll have a team to your location in a few hours, sweetie.” Janet gets up out bed.

“Do you know how you are going to get this back to the company without anyone knowing?” Andy was curious.

“No, but I know someone who does, sweetie. I’ll see you in a few hours.” Janet starts getting dress.

“Alright, mom. See you then.” Andy ends the call.

Hidden hangar underneath the Temple of Osiris:
Andy makes his way back down into the hangar. He tries to locate Arthur but couldn’t find him. He stops one of the students that had come with Arthur.

“Where’s Arthur?” Andy was watching the student's body language.

“We don’t know. We have been trying to locate him and the other fellow.” Nour had found an inscription that looked to be some sort of warning, but his translations weren’t the best.

“Let’s look for them, then.” Andy starts searching along with the rest of the students.

Andy finds a young teenage girl laying the ground. She looked to be wearing the same clothes as his friend Arthur had worn. He searches his pockets and pull her wallet out and opened it. It had Arthur’s driver license and several other items.

“What the fuck?” Andy looks at the girl and couldn’t believe how she looked.

She looked nothing like Arthur had or any of his kids. She was completely different. She looked more like what ancient Egyptians use to look like. Andy snaps a few pictures and checks her pulse. She seemed fine to her.

He stands up and continues looking for William. He finds another girl slumped on the floor in front of an orb. The girl looked to be dress in the same clothes that William had worn. Her looks were like the first girl he found, but she was younger. She looked to be the age of his sister Ivy. He takes a few pictures of her.

He drags William and Arthur back to where they came in. Whatever knocked them out, looked to be extremely effective. He lets the students know he found them, sort of.

Aero Flight Industries, Emery County, Utah:
Janet and Tammie had gotten up and dressed in record time. Janey made a few calls to have a scientific team assembled. The team had a few pilots in it and members from her engineering department.

Patricia had given her the names of her employees she could trust and were on the team that brought the ship back. As the team stood assembled in hangar bay six, where most of the large planes she owned were stored. She looked at all the members gathered. The engineering team was busy installing a special stealth unit aboard two of her VTOL transport planes.

Patricia was nearby, waiting for the transport planes to take off. She watches as the planes took off VTOL style into the air. Once they were off.
Ghost hovers off the ground and follows the transport planes.

The flight to Egypt was boring to Patricia. So, far no one picked her up. The problem was going to be landing the transports and her fighter.
According to the map where the Temple of Osiris was located. It was located outside the city. She knew first hand that the cavern the alien vessel was in, was an actual underground hanger.

The ship was going to need a jumpstart from Ghost to power up its systems to be able to fly back to the states. She just hopes they don’t draw attention to themselves. They finally land in Egypt near the Temple.

“Ghost monitor all government transmission for any mention of us. Also, do the calculations to extend your force field to protect the transport.” Patricia was hoping she wouldn’t need to use it.

Underneath the Temple:
Andy looks at his two friends and wonders what he was going to do about them. He had to check for himself to see if they were completely turned into women. After he was done checking them and finding they were women fully. He makes them comfortable and heads back up to call his mother again.

When he spoke to her, she was only a few hours out. He informed her about what happened to William and Arthur. He also sent the pictures he took so she could see for herself and the orb that looked to be responsible for her transformation.

Andy watched as the sunset. Two hours later, the two VTOL transports that belonged to his mother’s company land along with a fighter he has never seen before. He saw the insignia on the tail of the fighter. It was the same insignia that he, his sister and two other siblings had come up with.

He watches as the lower half of the fighter opens and the pilot is lowered to the ground. They were wearing a skintight white suit that had their name, Earth Defense Force, then underneath the Earth Defense Force, was USAF. On the other side was the persons call sign and their last name underneath their call sign.

When the pilot removed their helmet, he notices she had red hair that came down to her shoulder. He spots his mother’s departing the first transport. He walks over towards them, as her personal security team takes up protection deployment.

“Sorry for dragging you out here mom, but you need to see this. Also, who’s the redhead?” Andy glances over towards the female pilot.

“She’s from the future, Andy and she knows about what is under us. Also, it's alright. I wanted to see if her story was true about an alien craft being out here.” Janet had to admit that Patricia has been right so far.

“Well, let me escort you down to see it for yourself. Also, what are we going to do about William and Arthur?” Andy was concerned about his friends.

“I don’t know yet.” Janet follows her son down the hidden steps towards the hangar.

Patricia follows behind them. She gets the shivers every time she came to this place. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but this place always creeped her out.

Janet spots the coffins “are those the aliens who crashed here, Patricia?”

“Yes, they have the head of a Falcon and a body like ours. The ancient Egyptians mistook them as descendants of the God Horus. They are called the Xet'al and come from a planet that is three times the size of Earth with a heavy gravity.” Patricia met one, one time and nearly got her ass kicked in a fight with the person.

Their extra dense body gave them an advantage in a low gravity environment. If she hadn’t been as agile as she was. She would have been dead. Her quick reflexes saved her ass in the fight.

“I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!” Janet and Tammie stop when they see the alien spacecraft.

“Told you.” Patricia walks over towards it and places her hand on the controls to open the landing ramp.

“The engineer of the ship managed to repair it with the materials he found here on earth, but it doesn’t have enough power to take off.” Patricia walks up the ramp like she has done a dozen times before.

“So, how did I get power to it before?” Janet looks at Patricia as she is led to the bridge.

“You diverted power off the turbines of your transport. It gave you enough power to charge up the power cell this ship uses to bring its main engines online. However, I think instead of using the turbines, you could plug into Ghost main reactor and pull power from him. He has a
unique power generator that you design to power his weapon systems.”

“We'll need a cable long enough to reach from above ground to here.” As they walk onto the bridge.

“Actually, I know how to open the hangar doors.” Patricia walks over to the console and uses her ability to activate the ship systems.

“She glances towards the power indicator. There’s enough power here to turn the lights on and power the hangar doors. There’s not enough to run any of the major functions of the ship.” Patricia looks around and could see that repairs had been done.

She wonders what happened to the other crew and if their merchandise/cargo was still intact. She turns to leave the bridge.

“Where are you going, Pat?” Andy noticed she was leaving.

“Going to check on the cargo. Also, wondering where the other members of this ships are.” Pat heads down towards the cargo hold.

Andy follows behind her, leaving his mothers on the bridge looking at how it was set-up. He wonders how she knows so much about this ship.

“Mom said you’re from the future. Is that true?” Andy looks at the back of Patricia’s head.

“Yep, I’m from the future and I’m not going to tell you who your wife is or how well you did. I will tell you this, you were one of my instructors and we got along fine.” Patricia takes another set of ladders down to the cargo area.

She recognized some of the cargo containers. They hadn’t changed much. There were things missing and some of the things were missing parts and pieces.

“Well, now we know how they repaired the ship.” Patricia turns around to face Andy.

“The thing is, why didn’t they control the Empire? They have things here that they could use.” Andy picks up an item that had been disassembled.

“Because the Xet'al has big ego’s and prefer hand-to-hand combat. They dislike laser rifles and such. If you can beat a Xet’al in hand combat.
You would be treated with respect and given honor among their kind.” Every time Patricia encountered a Xet’al she was treated with a lot of respect.

Andy and Patricia keep exploring the ship. They finally find the rest of the crew in stasis pods. They were still active, but the power indicator was showing it in the danger zone.

“It looks like the units are about ready to shut off.” Andy had looked at the units.

“If we hurry, we can get them powered back up.” Patricia knew in her time, they lost one of them.

Bridge:
Tammie was looking around the bridge. She saw Janet pick up a headset and put it on. The next thing she knows, is Janet shaking violently. A bright yellow light emits from the headset and straight into Janet’s eyes.

Tammie rushes over to Janet and catches her as she falls to the floor. Janet’s body was still shaking as Tammie held her. When she looked into Janet’s eyes, they were black. Some of their research team was near the bridge “get me a doctor up here.”

The person turns around and runs to find one of the two doctors on their team. Andy and Patricia were heading back up to the bridge when they run into the person.

“Andy, you need to get to the bridge. Your mother has had an accident.” The person runs off to get the doctor.

Andy starts running towards the bridge, where he sees his mother shaking as Tammie holds her. He runs over towards them and looks at Tammie.

“What can I do to help her?” Andy was concerned about his mother.

“There’s nothing you can do. Her mind is adjusting to all the information she just received.” Patricia knew this was going to happen to Janet.

“You knew and didn’t warn my mother?” Andy looks at Patricia with a pissed off look.

“Yes, I knew, and it had to happen. Your mother and several of your siblings are responsible for all sort of things in the future, including building Ghost. I had to let happen, happened.” Patricia just looked right back at him. He has never been able to stare her down.

“She right, Andy.” Tammie hated saying those words.

“What happened to her?” Andy looks back towards Patricia.

“The entire ship's library has been uploaded to her mind. Everything that was in there is in her head right now. Also, her mental reasoning and understanding will increase.” Patricia knew what she received.

A doctor shows up to take care of Janet. They didn’t know what to do for her. So, they were going to do what they could for her. Andy helps to get her back to the first transport plane they took.

While people were taking care of Janet, Patricia went about charging up the power cell on the ship. The orb that changed William and Arthur she shuts it down. Her gift informed her that it was malfunctioning. It was meant to only affect one person. It wasn't designed to expand the power outward to change anyone near it.

Ouch!

Wendy Jean's picture

That decision had to suck.

Not being spotted

Jamie Lee's picture

They cross several countries, even leave the US, and aren't spotted by anyone? And are now going to open a underground hanger, power up the ship and then return home? All without being spotted? And how will Arthur and Williams be explained, rather how will the disappearance of Arthur and Williams be explained?

When these people open a can of worms it's the giant economy size.

Others have feelings too.

Don't forget

The grad students that were with them. They saw a lot, that can't be easily explained.
