The Alien Artifact 8
world, and it was clear that
the five other members of the crew said anything about it.
    A silent vibration went through the ground
and he expected to hear a sudden explosion sound in the distance,
and he knew it was only a tremor, but it gave the world a feeling
of being unstable.
    All the crew slowly vanished behind the
shuttle, over where the main shuttles were, and Orwell walked
around its edge to see what was happening, and stood with his mouth
open and Cronenberg wondered what it could be and if it was his
reaction to nothing, and he went over to him, and he then stood
with his mouth open.
    All the astronauts from the shuttles, a
hundred astronauts, were standing in a group discussing something
and he suddenly realized, from their communications from their
spacesuit communicators, that it was a search for the diamonds and
he wondered how the hell they had heard of them and started
watching Orwell and he realized he had to have been behind it.
    But he then knew he had not by his reactions!
But he had to have unknowingly done it!
    He was surprised when two of the other
shuttle commanders looked directly at him and started discussing
something, and he gasped and realized his luck was vanishing.
    Cronenberg marched in close and observed all
their spacesuits standing about a central area, where there was a
large meteorite boulder, and he anxiously started listening into
their communications.
    After a few minutes he showed a glint of
humor, followed by some sadness, as he realized that they never had
any real information about the diamonds he then realized that they
could gain knowledge of what they had.
    “ Are you saying that you think that
there ’s treasure here too? ” one astronaut that had not properly heard
them asked with amusement and astonishment, wondering what they
were really talking about.
    Everyone listened, and some stopped doing
things.
    “ There ’s a page missing from
this, ” one
of the astronauts broke in the conversation with, and Cronenberg
watched him with astonishment holding a diary.
    “ Yes, and I found it, ” one of the other shuttle
commanders, called Tom Eagle, forced himself to reply, walking out
of the crowd of astronauts, and he stood in front of them all, and
they formed into a crowd in front of him, and Cronenberg and Orwell
rushed over and stood at the side of them.
    Eagle took the diary and held in up and
took the missing page out of his pocket, and continued, “ It was on the
bottom of the bookshelf, where it was found! ”
    Cronenberg wondered what the hell he was
talking about as he had not heard anything until then and he knew
that they had something, and he could sense something was coming,
and Eagle even seemed to warn him of it.
    Eagle took the page and spread it out
in front of him, and all their eyes seemed to go on it at once, and
he muttered, “ It refers to a clue that the scientist with
Anders gave! It says it is on a map that Anders managed to get from
him!”

    The Treasure
Hunt
     
    Now Cronenberg entirely apprehended how
complicated and messed up things had really become, and that things
had gone far further than before, which he had originally not been
able to accept, and he started disbelieving what he had thought as
fact and what was fantasy.
    He did not know if he believed there were
diamonds as when he read all his notes and checked documents
looking for the mention of a diary by the scientist he found
nothing and there was even a suggestion there was none and he
started to realize that all the information showed little of if the
diamonds existed, as there was barely a proven fact in them, and
the scientist could easily have been wrong or up to something else,
like many of the documents claimed that they wanted the rocket
vehicle.
    Commander Eagle seemed to have talked every
astronaut there into seeking the treasure, even though most were
unsure what they were going to find or were even doing, and most
seemed to think he was going to take
