The Stargate Black Hole (24 page)

The two
paranormal scientists helped him out with vivid details and their
thoughts on it.

It was
incredible that they gave their thoughts on what they had suspected
about it, and had avoided giving anything on it having any
supernatural powers, and he even wondered if they believed it to
any further extent.

He expressed
his confused thoughts at what it could do, and about what it had
been up to and what it was capable of, and he wished that they
could have found a way to release it from the energy bubble before
they had brought aboard, and they would at least now know what it
actually was they were dealing with.

The president
had clearly even gone to the museum to see the damage that it had
created, and to question the people there about the incident and
what it had looked like, in its true form.

The
president questioned him intensely about it, to find out what he
wanted.
He had
to take the responsibility
for such
an incident and
occurrence, and
he
reassured everyone aboard that he and they would do everything that
they could to find it, and perhaps study it, and at that moment
they were building a special task force to seek it out, and it was
to be led by Colonel Pratt of the Military and Space Forces, and it
would be based at the Military and Space Forces control center, and
that he was the second highest military authority there, under
General Chisholm, the head of the Military and Space Forces, and of
the security of the entire spacecraft.

General
Chisholm made an appearance and warned everyone aboard of the
dangers of the alien intruder, and of what had happened the last
time, and gave the location of the museum, and told everyone to
remain out of its path and to stay in groups and to kill it if they
had to, and he then introduced Colonel Pratt, who was at the
Military and Space Forces control center.

Colonel Pratt
gave all the information that he could, and showed everyone his
task force, and that they were all busy at work organizing things,
and taking information people were giving them.

It was then
that Kruger started to realize that it could actually be a great
danger, and that they might have found something that they wished
to conceal!

Yet he was not
sure, and left it until they produced something, as he knew what
they could be like, from past occurrences.

People had been
clearly startled by its exit, and he could not decide if it was
also its extraordinary form that it had had.

They just did
not fully know what it was or its motives might be. They had caught
it and forced it to escape, and had threatened it with powerful
weapons, and perhaps destruction.

The whole
affair was a muddled mess, and many other top scientists were
contacted at their quarters, for them to query.

They were
normally calm, even after being at the incident, and were willing
answer all their questions, and Colonel Pratt finished it by
assuring them that he would have them informed of any progress of
the affair.

The president
left in a state of partial confusion, and never proceeded further,
and Colonel Pratt continued by asking them why they had been so
sure the alien could not escape, and why they had not confronted
the alien with powerful weapons, which he would have authorized
members of the military to take, and that they would have been able
to handle the problem in the proper way, and he asked them what
they intended to do to locate it.

The two
paranormal scientists answered swiftly without thinking, explaining
the alien had not been able to escape, and they had not believed it
to be dangerous, and that the military being there with weapons
would have been useless, as the energy beams would not have been
able to enter the energy bubble.

They had done
everything safely, as far as they could have, and they believed
that all their weapons were useless on it anyway, as with the last
alien in the void, and they kept them secure by making sure that
the energy bubble could not collapse, and they also tested it, and
its ability to escape, in front of many witnesses, but they then
informed them that it had clearly managed to find a means to
escape, and that they had underestimated its capabilities.

Chapter 32

The Detection of the
Alien

There was
something not right about the way the alien had vanished that
intrigued Kruger, and he could not grasp what its connection to the
paranormal was. The two paranormal scientists claimed that they had
traced a paranormal energy source to the alien in the castle. Why
had he not found anything else about this?

They discovered it had faint drawings on
walls like ancient magicians had, even though there were charts of
nearby stars, of the central galaxy, and there were piles of animal
skins, with ancient blood marks with drawings of creatures with
symbols beside them, and one with a diagram of a type of
telescope.

He had checked
old occult books, and still there was nothing!

He had an
interest in investigating paranormal activity, as well as aliens,
and though he had never properly proven the existence of anything
of that nature he still investigated everything of that nature, and
never properly proved anything. Could this thing be from some form
supernatural place, and want to hide it?

He was famous
all over the ship, and its media, and he knew all the major
scientists, and knew the only two scientists who believed in it and
had the field of investigating the paranormal, and who were there
to investigate anything in that region for a paranormal
association, and he had known them for years, and had accompanied
them on a few of their investigations, and they still avoided
giving anything that could prove anything.

They were very
accurate in their investigations and checked everything to their
limits, searching for the proof that they had always dreamed of
coming across, and never took anything without reflection, and had
built up the most advanced research paranormal establishment that
there was, containing the most highly advanced equipment that there
was available, but again what had they found but an alien that
might have an interest in things that looked like magic.

Yet they were
there to investigate what other scientists could not, and do it to
a far greater degree than before, and had been more successfully
than their wildest dreams.

He still
thought they could detect something that had gone undetected by
everyone else with their detection methods and equipment, which he
had not heard of being available anywhere else, and which they were
making leaps forward in advancing.

At their
research laboratory he was staggered, as they had advanced far
further again, and had many leading scientists working with them,
and he wondered what they were up to now.

They had the
place packed solid with ever form of equipment possible, and they
acted like they were experimenting to see how far they could push
beyond the boundaries of natural science, and out it to the
supernatural.

Their new
equipment was everywhere all over it, and the scientists and
assistants were speedily altering and monitoring everything.

The bright sky
of the center of space amazingly beamed through with beams of light
like a dim sun through a porthole in the spacecraft, and showed the
edge of the black hole center, and its black abyss.

“
What are
you up to
now
!” he finally
asked Bryan, the younger of the two paranormal scientists, as they
completely ignored him.

“
Tracking
the alien!”

“
What you
have found it?” he asked, gasping, realizing it actually was
aboard, and free to roam about.

“
We
have!”

“
But why
has nobody heard of this?”

“
Because
we
just
found it,
and the military knows we are experimenting in finding it with our
detection methods ...”

Kruger realized
how lucky he had been by going there, and wondered why he had been
so lucky, and tried to remember why he had started to think of
visiting them, and recalled it was mentions on the media of people
seeing ghost images of an alien, and though he had dismissed it as
another false story, and alien encounter, by people trying to get
on the media, he thought there could be something there, as there
were some others claiming that they had seen the alien from the
void, and after thinking about it, had realized that he had not
visited the two paranormal scientists for a long time, and wondered
what they were up to.

Chapter 33

The Alien
Encounter

A surreal dream
grasped Kruger’s thoughts and drew him into it, with him mildly
observing it while he happily rested.

It was a
strange dreamy cartoon version of the outside world, with a
colorful foggy darkish landscape, and he wondered why he sometimes
had dreams that he was conscious in and others with him only coming
to at the end of them, recalling it.

In lingering
spots in the fog he caught sight of only darkness, which was rare
on the world, and the black hole seemed to be the only properly
dark place there, and he stared into its abyss, wondering what his
brain was showing him, and if there was some form of reason for it
being there, and he heard distant sounds or thoughts like whispers
come out of the invisible dark zones, and taunt him, and he
realized how real it was, and was surprised that his brain could
produce such vivid images, and he thought of things it could be
used for.

The energy of
the stars was visible and he could feel the energy from them, and
he saw they were not like the normal stars there that he had been
viewing, but some form of energy formations, and he saw the mist
was an energy formation too, and he was seeing them as what it was
like, if he saw them as forms of energy, powerful and intelligent,
which never really made sense when he thought about it, but it did
as a fantasy.

It reminded him
of a fantasy magical world under bright moons, with lunar radiance
visible everywhere.

It was golden
in places, and strange energy lights twinkled through thick areas
of the energy mist. A bright light appeared deep in it, and he
realized the depth of it. It was tremendous, and like looking into
the depths of the universe.

He sensed the
presence of something mysterious that existed there, and which he
could not account for.

Again he
wondered what it was, and studied the place. Even though he never
recognized the exact place on the world, it looked familiar, and he
realized that he could not grasp why it was there, and he was drawn
out of the dream by noises, and realized he was being awakened by
his communications device.

The voice of
Bryan asked him where he was, and he called over that he was
dreaming in his bed, and he opened his eyes and checked the
time.

Even though it
was early morning, ship’s time, the room was mostly dark!

“
You
wanted to me to contact you if anything happened,” Bryan stated,
excitedly. “Well, something has! So you’d better get down here if
you do not want to miss the action!”

He never
answered and leapt out of bed in one bound, reaching for his
clothes, and once dressed he raced out of the door and into his
vehicle.

Though the trip
there was fast, he had time to awaken fully, and think what was
happening, and he knew it might be his first proper look at the
alien, and its capture.

At the same
moment he got out of the vehicle a loud ghostly shriek ripped right
through him, as if some ancient monster from the darkness pit in
hell were there.

Its momentarily
stunned him, and he opened his eyes wide, and he marched out,
observing everything in the corridor ahead, and all the scientists
all grouped around their equipment, hidden out of view behind large
objects at a doorway, with their equipment ready to take what
action was needed, and he looked at the furthest point, before a
bend, and saw something faintly move.

“
One of
our detection systems has picked up the alien,” Bryan explained to
him, crouching and looking around at where it was hidden from view.
“So if you want to see the thing get down here now! We’ll need
you!”

Finally he was
going to see it as it really was, and what it reacted like, and he
wondered how much of a mistake it could be!

The altering
version in energy bubble was powerful, and it would be a real
danger to them if their equipment was not powerful enough to handle
it, and he saw the equipment that they had used to put it in the
energy bubble, and felt happy again.

At that moment a loud scream of a woman came
from somewhere ahead, further along the opposite end of the
corridor, and he saw a woman rush out of her quarters, and he heard
the noises of something strange mingled in her sounds.

While he attempted to identify it other
strange sounds appeared all about her, and he tried to recall
hearing it before, and he saw many of the scientists looked stunned
by everything, and as if they were preparing for a strange
confrontation.

“
Activate
the energy bubble!” Mitchel whispered to the scientists, and they
activated it, and the sounds vanished, and the scientists all
looked disappointed, and stood up.
