The Alien Star Chamber (Part One)
they had had with the renegade Russian soldiers when he had
arrived there, and what it had really been about! He wondered where
the hell the voyager was!
    He was stumped! Could they actually handle
all their soldiers, and would he be making a great error telling
Commander Craven and the intelligence agency of it at the
moment?
    They were a really bad problem! Going by
what the scientist had told him about them, and the actual number
of deaths and the fact that they were Russian soldiers things were
at a new level and they had to avoid doing anything stupid or
without thinking!
    In fact the ultimate answer they would
actually like was to have the whole voyager blown up!
    He now thought of the Russians soldiers as
split into two groups, with one half wanting to fight for it
remaining theirs and the others going by the rules and perhaps even
wanting to get rid of it. The thing could be a threat to the entire
world!
    He even wondered if a war could break out
over such an incident, and who was the headman behind the Russians,
which the Russian scientist entirely avoided saying, and he could
not get if he knew. If the incident got out they would have to
explain what the secret ice station was doing there, and with
atomic missiles!

Chapter 14
     
    The Blizzard
     
    The blizzard blasted out of the Antarctic
night with inconceivable fury that hit and froze his face giving
him sensations of collapsing into the ground snow!
    The Russian scientist looked close to being
blown over or collapsing in a heap!
    How had he talked him into this, went
repeatedly through his mind! He could have been sitting in front of
a nice log fire in the ice station lounge, and instead he was
battling to survive against what must be the coldest blizzard on
the globe!
    Why had he had to agree to go to the Russian
base? He had claimed that it was nearby, like a rush around some
buildings!
    The time had also tricked them as it had not
seemed late or dark outside, and of course as soon as they had made
it out the door and too far out to return the blizzard had
arrived!
    Out of nowhere high-powered blasts shook him
out of his rigorous routine of shuffling on through endless deep
snow! The sounds definitely were a rifle blasts and his attempt to
persuade the Russian scientist into going back was dismissed! Yet
if it was nearby they were better going there. Except if it was
where the gunmen were, and they intended in killing them, it was
stupid going there!
    He was not even sure the scientist had
acknowledged what was happening! They had to go on now, and he saw
that they would have a bad time trying to see them.
    It seemed far more astonishing within the
mind-bending blizzard engulfing everything! Further explosions
sounded so powerfully he believed they were walking straight into
them, and he thought he saw powerful blasts from bullets hitting
ice!
    Whoever was after them had to be crazy and
out for the kill, and it was stupid entering such a blizzard and
fury of cold and snow! He could not realize how the hell they knew
they were there, and realized that they must have guns equipped to
see in the dark, and they perhaps had trigged something on their
approach to the base, which only left why they could not properly
hit them!
    The place had to be located in the coldest
and most remote place on the planet! Even in the summer it had
deadly cold!
    The men could be heard over to his side and
he realized that he could surprise them, even though they could
have infrared sights, and he was willing to risk it! They were too
close! Surely they could find them there! It was a mistake just
remaining there and he whispered in the Russian scientist’s ear
that he was going to do something and he was to keep going the way
he was.
    He dived through the snow when he was sure
that he was not being watched and rushed away at full speed going
to an area behind him and them.
    Again he could hardly believe the situation
that they had put themselves into! He was not use to
