Chapter 14

In the north arctic Typheryian stands in front of the chamber looking upon the naked woman. She gives him a nod saying that she is ready. He then turns to the technician to his right. “Proceed with summoning Alcyone and Taygete.”

The technician nods and proceeds. Within moments the chamber where Samantha stands shakes and fills with light. The intensity is fierce and lasts only seconds before dying out. She drops to her knees breathing hard. Her moment of relief is brief and the chamber repeats with the same process. When it is all over Samantha drops to the floor and instinctively curls into a ball, shivering.

Typheryian gazes at the naked woman and smiles. “Remove her to her chambers,” he orders a set of guards standing over the entry way to the chamber. “Ready the solar array.”

“Shall I notify NATO?” a technician questions.

“Full screen, he says, transforming from his true form and into his human form just as the screens are coming online. Each screen has a view of each individual member that is part of the project. “Gentleman, I want to thank you for trusting in my promise to deliver to you a state of the art weapon.” He clasps his hands in front of his body. “I regret that the other weapon was stolen from my facility, but I am sure that with your help we will find the responsible parties and get it back.”

There is a murmur of agreement from the parties involved. They are all well aware of the incident and are putting all available manpower to use in recovering the stolen weaponry.

“Now if you will please turn your attention to your computers. My technicians are uploading live feed from your new weapon. Above the Earth sits a simplistic looking satellite. For all intents and purposes that is all it is.” There are more murmurs. He waits until they settle down before continuing. “Regrettably we did not have this up and running before but your various special forces teams were able to eradicate the threats before any real damage was done.”

This time when he pauses there is only silence. None of the men or women on the various screens has sent any team or at least any team that is responsible for eliminating the sisters. Their silence works in a way that says they did but none are willing to admit it. Typheryian loved how humans thought. It makes it so much easier to manipulate them.

“We have found something peculiar about where these, ah, strange creatures are coming from,” he continues. “There are various stone circles scattered around mostly Europe. How this happening is beyond our knowledge.”

“From what our analysts tell us is some sort of beam is being sent out from your solar facilities to these places,” NATO Secretaries Generals Daniels interrupts.

“Your information must be wrong then,” Typheryian says blatantly.

“Maybe you would care to enlighten us then Ronin,” the same Secretaries General says.

“The only beams being sent from, as you say, my facilities are to power up the satellite,” he explains. “And if you will, allow me to prove the devastation of the weapon as well as eliminate these new threats that some are so eager to blame on me.”

“Very well. Proceed.”

The Sura signals to his technician who quickly goes to work at his station. “As you will see on your screens are two fast moving targets labeled Target A and Target B. Both targets have originated in Ireland and are currently headed for what is presumed to a densely populated area. The program locks onto its targets and...”

On the screens is an expanded view of the ancients flying through the air. The screens are filled by a massive beam of light that strike the targets. When the screen clears all they see is a clear sky, the ancients are no more.

“ ... with a powerful beam of solar energy eliminates the targets completely atomizing them. With this weapon you can seek out your targets and blast them away completely erasing collateral damage.”

“When will this weapon be fully operational?”

“Once we run a complete scan of the system ensuring there are no other bugs to work out, by week’s end,” Typheryian assures.

The others on the screens nod their heads, murmuring about the success of the weapon. They each congratulate the demon before signing off. The last one to do so is Daniels. “I have known you since your first day as a Secretaries General, Ronin. That is why I helped to fund your little project, but the information I have does not look good for you. I only warn you because I’m your friend.”
