The Alien Artifact 8 by V Bertolaccini

happened?”
    “ The person was found in the same
condition as Campbell! Large regions of the body were eaten! And
they’ve found Campbell was definitely eaten in the same
way.”
    Cronenberg was confused, and wondered what
was going on about, as the day earlier he had found declassified
material in the library showing similar attacks and deaths at the
base and that they had covered it up.
    “ I’ve also found stuff on deaths here!”
he replied, and flicked through a pile of documents he had at the
end of the table, and handed him over two documents about it, which
were of deaths occurring there over a decade, five years from
then.
    Orwell searched through it in surprise, and
stood confused, staring a section of one document.
    “ In one case they were unable to find
out if it was an animal or human!” he finally replied, and put the
document down.
    “ We could have been followed there, by
someone?”
    “ Or there are things of Mars that kill?
They might have been covered up? They might not have declassified
the stuff!”
    Cronenberg nodded his head, and agreed it
could be the answer and he wondered why they had not been warned by
some means about there be a possibility of them being there, and he
gasped when he realized that they could enter the base.
    “ Found anything new about the diamonds
then?” Orwell finally asked, after a few minutes of stunned
silence, with Cronenberg realizing he could have been the
one.
    “ Yes!” he replied, firmly, searching
through another pile of documents, and pulling documents
out.
    “ What you go there?”
    “ I found stuff on the scientist that
found the diamonds! It seems he was working with a new satellite,
at the time, that could magnify into areas of the Earth and Mars
far greater and clearer than before, and he was the first to use it
on Mars! I think he found the diamonds with it!”
    “ From up in orbit! I never knew that
could be done!”
    “ I reckon he knew where to look for
diamonds and that he discovered them!”
    “ So if we managed to get the use of it
we could explore the area where the shuttle went down for them
…”
    “ Or where the diamonds may be under the
ground …”
    “ I’ve not heard of any diamonds being
found on Mars yet!”
    “ Exactly! And their value would be
great!”

    The Satellite
     
    Cronenberg could not believe the length
Orwell went to find and get the use of the satellite, and he was
sure they were now being watched by security agents, and was sure
the satellite was still highly classified, even after decades, and
perhaps vastly improved and used for some military purposes.
    He was sure that he only gained use of it for
them to get what he was up to, and he realized why they had started
watching Anders, and he had also highly illegally taken an
expensive classified space vehicle.
    Orwell had updated himself on where to look
for diamonds, and techniques used to locate them, and he searched
the region where the shuttle had gone down.
    Cronenberg was invited to join them and
welcomed it and he became sure they had little on them other than
they were trying to use the satellite for a project, and if they
found the diamonds, they were an interest to science and their
missions there anyhow.
    They used it to search everywhere they could
on and around the hill, searching there in such incredible detail
that he was sure he would never think he was not being watched
outside again. It was incredible and he managed to examine where
the shuttle had come down, and the massive amount of footstep and
vehicles marks left there, and where the shuttle had been and had
been repaired and taken away, and he studied where Anders had been,
and the remains of the rocket, which had been dug up and examined,
with its interior searched.
    He realized it was the ultimate way of
searching for it, as he could search everything there, hill by
hill, but realized that where the diamonds had been may now be
buried deep beneath the sand, but the
