Finding a needle in the mountains
The diseased dozen was tracking William throughout Asia.
#7: Nothing around Mongolia.
#5: Nothing near Alaska.
#8: He has to be somewhere.
#6: Let's keep looking.
Pure calls over the computer.
Pure: Any luck guys?
#3: Nothing yet, we are still looking.
Pure: Keep me posted.
#5: Will do.
Pure hangs up the call and gets back to work.
Seth: Pure we are almost finished putting this together.
Pure: Good we will need the Missouri flying when we fight William.
#9: Hopefully we can finish this before the rest of us find him.
Pure: Xiao, how are the cures coming.
Xiao: We did a long term study of the antidote and it won't give them powers, it would just heal them.
Zhēnbǎo: We also did the antidote to each person blood type and disease for maximum effect. We are currently making them now.
Pure: Ok make sure they are stored away when they are finished.
Xiao: Got it.
Pure: I'll let you to get back to work.
Pure was busy fixing the engines until Alisha came in with lunch.
Alisha: Lunch time!
Pure and Seth came down and got their lunches.
Pure: Thanks sweetie.
Alisha: I know you three are trying to win this war but you need fuel to do it.
Pure: I know, how are my four favorite people doing?
Alisha: We are fine.
Pure touches her stomach in which she is five months, two weeks pregnant.
Seth: May I?
Pure: Go ahead, you will have one when this is over.
Seth touched her stomach and he could feel a small heartbeat.
Seth: We have a lot to fight for and this is one of them.
#9: Once we get cured we are thinking of having kids as well.
Randal: We still have no idea when this guy is finished.
Pure: I want to catch him before he is complete.
Seth: About fighting him, we need a way of going against gamma radiation.
Pure: Vincent, any ideas?
Vincent: Still working on that, hopefully we got a way to beat him other than the bomb.
Pure: Ok. Keep at it.
Alisha: I'll let you three get back to work, don't wear yourselves down.
Pure: Ok, see you four later.
Alisha left Pure, Seth and #9 to finish the Missouri, she went to the cafeteria where Chun was with Carolina keeping her company.
Carolina: How are they?
Alisha: Working tirelessly but fine, how is yours doing?
Carolina: Being quiet for now, yours?
Alisha: A little restless but other than that it's fine.
Alisha comes close and sits down in Chun's fur with Carolina.
Carolina: Still think Pure can pull this off.
Alisha: Knowing him, he always does.
Carolina: Hey you got a craving for Chinese?
Alisha: Surprisingly, yes.
Horatio comes in.
Horatio: Then it's a good thing I was passing across China and decided to order some takeout.
Carolina: Thanks.
Horatio: How far are they from finishing?
Alisha: From the looks of things, soon.
Horatio: Hopefully, we can test run her first.
The rest of the team comes in.
Jack: Let's hope she gets off the ground first.
Arachnid: Knowing him, he will.
Sandra: Let's just hope we can find the gamma soldiers first.
Artemis: Alisha, I found the perfect tattoo for your reactors, since Carolina took the rose tattoo I decided you would get the sunflower.
Artemis shows Alisha the design.
Alisha: I like it.
Artemis: I thought you would.
Just then one of the diseased dozen called over the monitor.
#7: Uh guys, I'm picking up something.
Rick: What is it?
#7: I was going on a hunch that they wanted to be in a place in plain sight right?
Marshal: Where is it?
#7: I was going around the Himalayas since radiation and Ice don't mix.
Jade: Would make sense, ice would block the radiation.
#7: I made a pass along the mountains and the instruments picked up a faint signal. I'm currently tracking it now.
Horatio: On screen.
#7 switches to his monitor to let them see. He does a pass of the mountains but got a very weak signal.
Mima: He's right, it's faint but it's still there.
Horatio: Switch it to UV mode, maybe we can see the rays.
Mima switches it to UV sight to see the radiation.
Jack: Looks like it's caught in a current.
Marshal: But coming from where is the million-dollar question.
Carolina: Ok, the radiation is like a kite, it has to hook on it for it to work. Start from the beginning of the wind current and follow it through the mountains.
#7 takes the drone to the beginning of the wind current and starts there.
Mima: Ok, let's see judging by how faint it is it would have to spend over an hour in that condition to be like that. Setting radius from where it is now.
Mima pulls up a map with the radius of an hour from where it was spotted.
Horatio: Ok, account for wind speed.
Jack: How unstable it is.
Alisha: The density of the ice.
Carolina: and the deterioration rate.
Mima: Putting all of that together and it points to one area.
Mima shows it on the map.
Alisha: You have got to be kidding me.
Horatio: They are inside Mount Everest!?
Mima: It would be the most suitable place for them.
Jack: Think they found the lost kingdom of Shangri-La in there?
Rick: Highly doubt that, see if you can get closer without getting spotted.
Mima: #7; there is a sonar device on the drone, make an overpass and drop it as close to the mountain you can get.
#7: I'll try.
#7 makes a pass across Mount Everest.
Trinity: Be careful, they may hide auto turrets in the snow.
#7: That's what I'm worried about.
Artemis: Go higher if they are out of firing range they can't hit you.
#7 goes higher and drops the sonar device close enough to get an imaging.
#7: Pass complete. I am putting the drone in a cave I found so that it will be safe.
Horatio: Gold star #7 thanks.
#7: Glad to help.
Mima: Starting up sonar device now.
Mima stats up the sonar device and it echoes the whole mountain.
Horatio: I know they were just hiding but that is just paranoia right there!
Jack: A whole facility right under the mountain and we didn't even know about it.
Seth: I pulled up some files on that area, apparently they drilled into the mountain and made a temporary village inside so that they would be protected against the acid rain since it would turn into snow and be neutralized.
Horatio: So they would build on the remains after the acid rain passed since no one would pay attention to it.
Jack: One problem, won't they disturb the villages around the mountain if they started to build.
Rick: Not if they get rid of them by making them evict.
Marshal: But we would know about it.
Mima: Not if there was a nuclear winter there, the Russians detonated a few nuclear bombs there to make it too cold for the Chinese to pass through and make a surprise attack while the US were invading.
Rick: Good tactic, it would create a temporary wall to block anything coming their way.
Mima: The mapping is complete the base has a lot of floors and ways for them to escape.
Carolina: Then we must close them up so that they won't escape.
Seth: Uh guys, since we know the location of the base I thought it would be best to up what the virus is doing to the systems and I managed to catch a little conversation.
Horatio: Well then play it.
Seth plays the recording.
Person 1: How long till we have finished the procedure?
Person 2: Two weeks, we have to keep switching doctors for it to work.
Person 1: The AI has been cracked and checked it will be ready to go soon.
Person 2: Any trouble with it?
Person 1: None at all.
Horatio: Which means they bought it.
Trinity: The fake Mima will work until we tell it to.
Alisha: Once we get close enough we can cause it to stop working and make him weaker.
Jade: The drones coming from the factories are coming here for assignment.
Trinity: I'll take the ground drones.
Jade: I'll take the air drones.
Jack: It's best to go drones only so that there are no casualties.
Pure comes in with a towel drying the oil off.
Pure: The Missouri is almost complete; we will commence testing in the morning.
Seth: Find anything?
Alisha: A lot.
They tell Seth and Pure about what they have found.
Pure: Looks like we got our work cut out for us.
Horatio: Yup.
Pure: Is the bomb ready?
Vincent: Will be ready in a week.
Pure: Let's draw up a plan of attack.
Everyone worked together and came up with a plan When they were finished Pure turned in early sine he was tired from nearly finishing the Missouri. Alisha and Carolina came in and found him sleeping.
Carolina: He is really trying his best.
Alisha: Yes, he is.
Alisha wipes a smidge of oil off is face.
Carolina: We should get our rest too, so we won't harm these little ones.
Alisha and Carolina went into the bed and Pure woke up a little bit and shifted himself so that they could come in the bed. All of them went to bed in their tails and everyone else went to bed after they checked out their section with their partners and they had a good nights' rest.
