The aliens,
sensing the time transfer, began to set up a feedback loop by shooting a
negative energy beam into the tunnel along it’s path around the Earth. The insertion team traveling back to 1968 and
Doug and Tony’s old standing wave probe from the 1968 attempted time transfer
merge together causing the time displacement and positioning to shift from 1968
to 6.25 million years ago. The insertion
team tumbles into a snow bank during a blizzard in near white out conditions. “It must be 40 blow….we have to find
shelter,” Captain Stillwell says.
Meanwhile, the
tunnel complex has detected the alien beam interfering with the time
transfer. “Can you get a lock on the
craft?” General Brooks asks. “I think we
can” answers a scientist. “Yes, we have a time lock. “Team 2 prepare for departure!”
Team 2 prepares for
a transfer not just in time but in space as well. They plan on ‘landing’ on the alien ship before
the beam started. The Time Tunnel roars
to life swelling as it did before with a countdown 14, 13, 12, 11, 10... The marines enter the tunnel and a moment
later in a flash they are also gone.
Meanwhile,
Captain Stillwell and Team 1 are walking slowing bent over trying to keep the
hard snow pellets from hitting their faces.
They head for the side of a mountain.
As they proceed to the mountain, Dr. Julia Swain falls through the snow
and into a crevasse hitting a small ledge which breaks her fall. Captain Stillwell struggles to reach her hand
but he does and pulls her to safety. The
storm passes and the weather begins to clear.
They move on toward the mountain.
Far behind them at
about a mile distance they hear a thumping sound.
It looks like a large rodent with large teeth and long hair. It’s the size of a minivan. “It looks prehistoric…a carnivore.” Julia
says. “Run!”
The team heads
for a cliff face in what looks like a cave.
The beast begins to make a shrill like sound of excitement.
