S15: Rescue Party

Image
5 Dec, 4pm : Near the base of the headless Elder statue, lay a huge basalt boulder. The statue’s head. Starkweather shouted with glee as he climbed atop the severed head and called out to Wilbur, “Take my picture, getting the statue itself as background. Wait, let me strike a triumphant pose, the conquering hero.” James was already composing the newspaper article in his head that would detail his most-grand Antarctica exploration. Pictures to go with the artifacts he was already collecting. Meanwhile, Professor Moore and the other scientists of the party stood in marvel as they gazed up the river at the sprawling city. At one end, the frozen river seemed to cascade down into a gapping cave mouth as if feeding the underworld. Up river, they saw collapsed causeways and bridges that once spanned the river. Empty streets laid out in almost pentagonal patterns yet not quite. Buildings that looked like stacked archways with open windows and thresholds. From which ice seemed to flow. Offeri...

S17 (Conclusion): For the Good of Humanity!

From the beginning:  https://rigglebmm.blogspot.com/2020/09/s1-parka-in-july-in-new-york-are-you.html 6 Dec, 8pm : Dr. Cope may have been left behind at the planes, but he wasn’t working on them. His thoughts were still stuck in the landing descent when the visions swept thru the cabin and his mind. (Sanity failure: -6 points: Bout-of-Madness/Survival mode) “Yes, yes. The city murals. The story unfolding. World calamity! Those fools!” Robert clandestinely began gathering supplies before he slipped away. Stockpiling for his own survival, “Weapons, water, alcohol, pemmican. Damn, no cigars!” More visions flashed thru his thoughts, soon to realize, “The Elders are trying to stop the calamity. We humans are interfering! Those fools! The machine must be preserved. The tower is the key.” Robert trudged thru the snow toward the tower. Following their trail was easy. He entered the same corner of the tower and began to climb up the slippery slope. Easier once he saw the rope they left be...

S16: To the Tower and its Hypnotic Eye

Image
6 Dec, 2pm : Gil Maskill watched the two winged barrels (Elders) bouncing along in slow flight carrying Starkweather between them. “The Enderby is almost warmed, oiled, and ready for flight. If we takeoff now, we can catch up to them.” Robert asked, “Who’s going? Someone needs to stay to guard Williams…I mean Danforth. Don’t need him getting loose and finishing his attack on our camp. Sorry Professor Moore, but with your frostbite and wrapped hands, you best stay. And you’re in no condition to guard our saboteur.” And that’s when Willard spoke up, “Where’s Charles?!” Long pause as Doug looked around, “He was here two hours ago, bringing me plane-oil. He was looking at his sketchpad and said something about VERY detailed carvings.” Wilbur entered the camp tent, soon to report, “No missing supplies. He didn’t take extra oxygen bottles. You don’t suppose Danforth attacked him before killing Ralph?” Peter Sykes barked orders which Moore nodded to, “Wilbur and Willard, join me in a searc...
