The Time Tunnel: The plan and the insertion - Chapter 2 – “Where no Aliens Dare!”

Team two meets with the time insertion team.  Both teams go over their plans.

 

Team 1, the insertion team will go back to 1968 and reprogram the time probe.  Team two, comprised of 8 heavily armed marines in pressure suits, will lock on to any extraterrestrials signal that is attempting to overload the new Time Tunnel transfer of Team 1 back in time.  Team 2 will track and follow any alien signal back to it’s source by signal lock and secondary time transfer to the signals place of origin.  It is a highly dangerous and risky plan.  The aliens are technologically much more advanced than us.  They have traveled across nearly a hundred light years in a very short time to reach Earth but the only time travel technology they have is tied in to their light speed propulsion engines.  Time travel is our only advantage.

 

As the countdown begins the teams ready themselves and equipment. 

 

The Time Tunnel has not been fully tested as they have been working feverously to repair and shield the complex from outside intrusions.  Some parts of the complex, the space, are still affected by the ‘68’ blast and these spaces need to be worked around.

 

During the countdown and initializing of the tunnel for the time transfer instruments detect a standing space-time wave inside the tunnel.  Upon further investigation it seems the tunnel has locked on to Doug and Tony’s radiation probe giving the tunnel an exact fix in time and space (location) for both time travelers.  The lock coordinates verify the earlier ‘Looking Glass’ determinations.
