surface-to-air missiles at the ship from the
coastland, but none survived the hot laser beams that were being
emitted by the airship.
Initially, it was flying slowly but when it
reached 100 feet from the water surface, its speed increased. It
started flying hypersonically until when it disappeared in space
without being intercepted by any manmade plane. More still, it was
totally invisible to both radar, satellite and other detection
methods and therefore when it entered space, the army lost track of
it.
On reaching planet Ghostia, the airship
landed amidst cheers from the skeleton warriors who had lined in
the Ruthst Square to see the scientists that had been brought from
earth. The skeletons of the five scientists who had been dissected
before being brought to Ghostia were removed from their body bags
and forced to march out of the airship first. The other two living
scientists went out last. The ghosts were surprised to see the two
living scientists walking out of the aircraft. Those at the back
had to stretch their necks to see them properly. The most excited
were those who had left earth thousands of years before. They
wanted to determine how man had evolved through the ages. Among
them was Lord Ghost himself. He could not help hide his happiness
and as Professor McDonald walked passed him, he forced him to stop
for a moment. He gave him a strong handshake and said, “Welcome to
Ghostia, sir.” “You shall always be remembered by man and the
ghosts as the first humans to reach the planet of the dead.”
The seven scientists were then separated
according to their professions. The physicists and computer
scientists were taken to the armory on the last two floors to help
in the manufacture of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. These
missiles were to be used against distant countries that would try
to rise against them. These ICBMs could be armed with either
conventional or non-conventional warheads, depending on where they
were going to hit. The nuclear physicists were also to be used to
devise ways through which the ghosts were to take control over the
world’s nuclear stockpiles which the ghosts feared most.
The microbiologists were added to Lord
Ghost’s team which was manufacturing deadly pathogens which the
ghosts were to use as Biological weapons against humans. The
microbiologists had been ordered to engineer slow killing bacterial
spores which would inflict untold pain on the victim before killing
them. These pathogens were to be used as the last resort in case
humans tried to defeat the ghosts.
The five slain scientists were to retain
their helmets. These helmets had replaceable fluids that were
supplying nourishment to the brain and the whole head region via
small tubes that had been incorporated within. Without these
fluids, their brains would stop working and the scientists would
feel much pain before dying slowly. Limiting the supply of these
fluids was the only way the ghosts could control these scientists.
The two living scientists were promised to be taken back to earth
at the end of the mission. But if they failed to comply, a torture
team had been set up by Lord Ghost to check them! Professor
McDonald was given the privilege of heading the microbial team but
he was to work under close surveillance lest he sabotaged the whole
process.
After working hard for some good days Dr.
Christine fell sick. She had been infected by the pathogens they
were culturing. It was a trying moment for Prof. McDonald as he
watched his wife falling and rolling over the ground in total pain.
She was crying out loud whilst holding onto her swelling tummy. Her
screams attracted Lord Ghost who was by then in a nearby room
supervising the work of the other scientists. He rushed into the
building only to find her isolated on the ground.
By then, an antidote for the infection had
not been made and she was destined to die. Lord Ghost knew this and
hence ordered his guards to rush her to Arcacidia and kill her from
there.
