Chapter 1

The Archeological
Discovery

(From the novel
The Alien Artifact 3)

The pictorial panoramic spectacle of the
world stretching out below from the castle was fascinating, with
the rugged golden shades of the starlight beaming everywhere,
through massive gaps in the castle walls beneath the tower, where
the archaeologists were working away, checking if there was
anything in the walls, and how the stones had been made.

He always had liked archeology, especially
on alien worlds, and liked exploring the past and the occurrences
that had taken place.

The world below now looked like it had been
frozen in time, and was a fantastic surreal prehistoric times
world, and he recalled why he had wanted to be a paleontologist. It
conjured up great visions of the original primitive world, with its
astounding untouched magnitude.

While he
rested against a wall he looked through a massive gap in the tower,
and occasionally examined the stone and debris the archeologists
sifted through, looking for anything of interest to him, and he
watched the sky in a place that he had not examined before, and
wondered what existed there and what other strange worlds there
were to explore, and started to realize he was starting to like the
galaxy more than his own, and that he would miss it, and the stars
would never be the same again when he returned, and that they would
completely empty.

In the
distance he spotted an incredible immense meteorite
crater with a strange mist cloud over it, only filling the
dent, fitting itself into with its shape.

He believed he would make a good
archeologist as he was interested in having everything
investigated, and the true findings being revealed.

The archeologists around him enjoyed their
work, and were still very intrigued with everything that they found
there, and what fascinating things they could find.

He tried to work out the age of the tower,
but could not, and just accepted the rough estimate given by the
archeologists that he questioned about it. He was still searching
for something, and for something that he was sure that he had
missed. There were signs that it was really old, and older than
they thought, and the walls of the tower had some materials in it
that nobody had recognized.

Perhaps it was from an unknown and rare
element found down there on the world. A new universe, and such a
galaxy, had to have such. The place was unique and a real winner,
and he had waited the majority of his life for such a find to
emerge, and now he was going to grasp it!

Major Ripley rushed over to him, before he
entered the stairs going up the tower, and immediately revealed how
they had received more powerful digging equipment and generators to
dig into areas in the tower, as they had found artificial objects
in the walls, which they could not recognize.

Kruger started to realize that something was
there, buried away in the tower, and saw that the archaeologists
had slowed down their operations, and were more interested in what
was buried away in the tower.

II

The Tower Removal

Gold and white radiances loomed over a
shadowed region of the tower, while an immense lifting vehicle
hauled it up, while the pilots aboard it controlled the computers
and monitored it.

Kruger watched it with the two paranormal
scientists, beside other major scientists, at the edge of the flat
top of the castle.

The operation had been far more difficult
than they had realized, as they found objects inside the tower that
had apparently held the tower up, under the hideous conditions the
alien had subjected it to with its incredible powers. The structure
would have collapsed a long time ago if it had not used them!

It was virtually the only thing that they
had successfully found the use of that belonged to it, and they
could barely work out how they worked.

The top part of the tower glided away, under
the vehicle, and they moved it over to the castle roof, where they
were, and placed it in the central region, and the vehicle lifted
away, and left to go down below.

Kruger watched the towers shape probing its
way amidst the abyss of the stars behind it, and gasped as a giant
star exploded with light, turning into what had to be the biggest
nova and explosion that he had seen.

All the scientists gasped, and some filmed
it, and watched parts of blast out into space, scattering beams of
blinding light, and he saw that it was in fact the merging of two
suns, being pulled together, as they were being dragged into the
black hole at the center of the galaxy, and he moved his feet over
the silky dust that rested on the roof, which had fallen there over
night from space, and he wondered if the remains of it would come
down as it, and he would actually touch the remains such a powerful
phenomenon.

The air stuck deep in his lungs for a moment
as he considered the dust being in the air, and considered how it
affected the world.

In the powerful sunlight of the nova, the
shadow of the whole pinnacle and tower stretched across the world
like gigantic alien finger/claw, as though pointing at something,
and he considered it for real for a brief moment and dismissed
it.

Faint echoes of a distant meteorite landing
appeared, and sounded like the nova explosion coming through the
dense galaxy, and reaching the world, and it vanished into an
extraordinary silence, as they all approached the tower to begin
work, and to watch them remove the alien in the energy bubble, and
place it there, for them to check properly, out of the tower.

The Monster
Captured

Altering forms
of the monsters consistently rematerialized in the energy bubble,
as it floated over the center of large stone castle roof, as all
the scientists stood around it examining it, trying to grasp what
it was and was doing there.

Kruger watched
the vehicle remove the tower away to the GX1 for examination,
leaving only the energy bubble and alien there, and he wondered if
they were underestimating its powers and if it was a mistake
removing it from the tower.

The thing did
resemble a magical being in its normal state. If it actually had a
normal state, and he tried to grasp what it could really be, and
why it had chosen the castle and region overlooking the center of
the universe, and he gasped again as its giant demon shape appeared
and glowed with energy, and altered and whirled within hideous
energy surges – while it was consistently stopped from vanishing,
to where they never knew.

Kruger spotted
a new vehicle flying in from over the horizon, as it appeared
there, heading towards them, with all the equipment that they would
use to carry out an examination of what they could, in a brief
examination, before they took it to the GX1 for it to be properly
checked – with them checking if it should be brought aboard.

The alien
shape at times looked as if it was looking directly at him, as if
thinking of communicating, and was soon thrown into a turmoil of
reactions, which left him considering if it was the energy bubble
the two paranormal scientists had put it in or if it was it that
was putting it in the state it was in.

Surely the
energy bubble could not cause such a consequence?

But he was
sure it was some sort of entity/life form and that it was trapped
there, and he wondered what the paranormal scientists intended to
do with it. If they never left it there, would someone eventually
remove the energy bubble – to either investigate it more closely or
check its normal state, and if they removed it what would happen?
Surely they had not forgotten the alien in the void already, and he
thought that it should be checked out of the energy bubble before
it was taken aboard.

IV

The Time
Alterations

At the
edge of the energy bubble
, altering wildly, gleams of
light from bright stars were being held motionlessly, and were
being filmed and studied by the scientists.

The entire top of the castle was now covered
in equipment and scientists studying the alien in the energy
bubble, and of the discovery made earlier in close examinations of
the energy bubble.

A clock placed at the end of a cable was
entered into its field, and the scientist reacted immediately when
they received results, and concluded that its precision digital
numbers were being frozen, and into multidimensional forms as the
cable shifted, and they studied the suspended cluster of partially
transparent layers, as they moved in with cameras.

The two paranormal scientists were
controlling the experiments of the leading scientists, and had
gained a great deal of status and authority with them, and aboard
the GX1, where most of the filming of it was being shown on the
media.

Both occasionally gave detailed explanations
of what they were doing, and believed was occurring, and they had
the cable released further, edging it into the confines of the
energy bubble, creating more spectacular optical effects with the
clock, making it distort in twisted forms, like shaping beams of
light with matter.

All the numbers on clock shifted fast
forward to their surprise, and all the scientists, technicians, and
archeologists there crowded around it loudly discussing it, and
applauding the find, as it was the first discover of time
travel.

Kruger stood with them startled, though he
had known it existed, he had not proven it, and believed Don had
traveled back in time, and he had been waiting for it to appear
somewhere, to prove it, and for the event to take place, and he
watched it wondering what the hell it was, as it was far more
different than he had thought, and he had not realized or heard
anything that could explain anything to him, and he had
deliberately stayed near the two paranormal scientists and main
scientists in hope of picking something up.

It looked as though it were rupturing space
in a way that played with time. It had properties of suspending it!
It was creating alterations in it and the fabric of space, but
could it allow some form of gateway into the depths of time to
exist?

Many of the leading scientists were carrying
out numerous basic and complex experiments all around it, using
equipment, and others were recording various things about it, and
great amounts of detailed information were being sent back to the
GX1 for them to analyze in a far greater degree.

Nobody had been able to determine its
origins or if it came from the galaxy. Yet they were in another
universe, which they had not checked in any proper degree, and
there were many occurrences there and in the black hole that were
still unexplained, and their voyage through the galaxy had shown
that many mysterious things existed there.

It would take the rest of their lives to
explore the place properly and make proper findings, and they may
never fully achieve their goal, and it could be found long after
they existed.

He had shuddered as he had studied its shape
hovering about, and its occasional appearance, like a lion eyeing
up its prey.

The abnormal antics of some of the
scientists at times captivated him, mystifying him with the depth
of their nervousness and fear of something! Some still repetitively
studied the readings from their equipment and with alarm
–
preparing
themselves for something, which he saw the two paranormal
scientists slowly become aware of!
