    Chapter 3


    An engine roared to life. A man dropped off from back of the truck signalling down a road with a toll booth marking the way. The truck followed the designated road. After a few hours driving it pulled up to a private runway. Army swarmed the place :Nato officers in the guard towers, Marines guarding the front gate, Navy off the Pennisula's coast firing some spare torpedoes at the rocky outcrops. A NATO officer approached the armored truck. The officer was in about his mid twenties; he had blodne close cropped hair his standard Dark blue uniform with the NATO Research team patched sewn on the left shoulder. "As cheerful as Always aren't we Harry?"

    Harry, The driver, turned his head to the NATO officer; "Could be worse Gabes, could have your job" Harry chuckled at the comment. "This is the last load till the expedition right?"

    Gabriel nodded."Take it around the back to the cargo ship and get straped in Artic not as pretty, and peaceful anymore..." Gabriel said raising the gate for him to pass. "Okay everybody pack it up! I want the entire peninsula blocked off."

    Harry stepped out of the armored turck and gazed at the Milatary chopper. it was 250 feet in length, and 100 feeet in width. Two set of perpellors stretched from each end. A swarm of Researchers surronded the truck and started the loading.

    A man in his late 50's stepped out of the cargo hold. He walked to harry and held open arms to him.Harry hugged him. The man was from the USSC; he was out of uniform as he always was. He had ragged black hair, He wore faded blue jeans, and wore a brand new crisp black dress shirt. "Have a nice vacation son?"

    "Some vacation evacing natives from a volcano eruption." Harry said tossing the keys to a Marine. and stepping through the cargo hold tryign to avoid being caught up in the mass movement of loading.

    "yeah, but you were in Fiji you had a nicer view then most of us here" The man said.

    Harry chuckled slightly."Well then maybe you should take evac missions instead." He said entering the personal transport area of the 'Copter'. He strapped him-self in next to the man.

    Gabriel entered the transport and sat down next to the two. "I see you found your son, Jacob" gabriel said turnign to the man in his fifties. " Having fun reminissing without me are we Harry?" He said trying to agitate them.

    Jacob turned to Gabriel. "Well the government must be stupider than I thought putting the three of us together." He said being thrust back by the 'Copter's' rough takeoff.

    A voice crackled through the speaker. "This is your pilot speaking, We will arrive in the Artic in two hours please enjoy your flight" the pilto said in the most annoyly squeky voice he could muster.
