interceptor first appeared in the solar system. Extrapolating the course further back doesn't place it near any known solar system.” she said.
    “Let’s discuss your future now. What you have given us will help us in our mission. Before we reach Saturn I will make a request to Captain Basso. We need to go to Rhea and investigate the hanger and see what else we can find. You have delivered what you promised. I need to think about a long term plan for your future. Eventually we need to find you a home which won’t put us in danger. For now you will have your freedom aboard this ship provided you sta y away from any communication equipment. You should also keep in mind you’ve provided us with the most classified of information. If they agency were to find out, you would be in as much danger as us. If we’re caught because of your actions you can count on us telling the agency about this data file you’ve provided.”

Chapter 6
    Predicting the future was impossible. By analyzing facts and studyi ng mankind Enzo made it an art. Greed and ego could always be counted on to shape the way those in power behaved. After watching the astounding Roswell video Enzo sensed danger. At least two advanced civilizations had been at war near Earth. Far too much was at stake and the wolves would be coming for the crew of the Constellation. His son and the crew needed more protection. Action was needed, and a meeting with Randy was a necessity. He booked the next flight to New Mexico.
    William Spencer didn’t like the data on his screen. Two of his top agents had disappeared without a trace. Both were in possession of the most classified of information. A leak was unacceptable but a very real possibility now. He didn’t have any real leads on either disappearance. All efforts were being made to locate both of the missing agents. One had disappeared in Montana and the other at a spaceport. He began to suspect another flight had left Leviathan with his agent aboard. Space was a great place to hide a person if you didn’t want them found. He was the head of the CIA and didn’t need a team of analysts to figure that out. What he needed were some allies in space.
    As he looked out the window, Leviathan was bustling with activity. Randy was certainly running a successful organization. "This is extraordinary. How many people know about this?" Randy asked after watching the video. "Our friends on the Constellation, a handful in the CIA, and maybe senior leaders in the Air Force. Our crew on the transport will be needing help at some point. Tell me you have a decent ship and some trustworthy people who can help." Enzo said. "We're always in the process of making design improvements. I do have a few modifications which have been under wraps. A quality crew won't be a problem. We will have the best there is on Earth right now. Any crewmembers I select make three or four times as much as they would for NASA or the Air Force. The other private companies come close to our pay scale, but none can match Leviathan when we really want someone. I'll get prelaunch preparations started immediately. Working twenty four hours a day we can have the newest ship up in roughly five days. It still might be too late to help much. If the government has caught wind of our plan and sent a ship to intercept the Constellation it might already be too late.” Randy said.
    Tony was fascinated. The sample recovered from the Ark Pyramid continued to grow. It now looked similar to a mold spore except for the center. The center contained a small red leafy material which had grown quickly. Tests indicated the water content in the leafy material was continuing to drop. It was drying out. He had been working on this sample for three weeks and the resul ts were amazing. It was time to take another sample of the material. As he leaned over he noticed the leaves were slowly closing and he detected a strong salty smell. There hadn’t been any observable changes in scent prior to
