Category:The Tunguska Incident

TUNGUSKA, 1908

The incident was the resulting impact of a data device containing the information needed to construct the combat skins currently in use by the various military forces deployed throughout the various star systems in the Milky Way Galaxy.

A homing beacon was also in the impact but "burrowed" beneath the ground before the military could retrieve the device.

After symbiosis with the armored suits was completed, a homing beacon was sent from the buried device still in the ground in Siberia to a cloaked scout ship orbiting around Mars informing this vanguard that the symbosis has been successful.

The scout ship launches several capsules to Earth, and these capsules impact in Northern Russia.

These aliens begin constructing a enormous terraforming device in the frigid environment, and the device emits a plasma energy dome around several kilometers of ground. Then, their scout ship emits a control signal and a machine buried in the ground (several millenia earlier during the Dawn of Man) emerges from underneath the surface.

Orbiting the Earth, a NASA satellite discovers a heat-signature (actually it registers "deep cold" against the environment) being protected by that energy dome. The US military dispatches two battalions of US/British forces to investigate.

The military forces establish a forward operating base two kilometers from the dome perimeter and task several NSA/CIA satellites to attempt to penetrate the cloud cover and get real-time images of the dome. Also a pair of Predator drones are launched and manage to penetrate the dome due to their small shape. The drones manage to get a short video feed of the cave entrance before being shot down by some kind of automated defense turret guarding the machine.

In the Pentagon several CIA/NSA analysts deduce that the machine appears to be connected to a cave system under the tundra and after several attempts by scientists and military officers to penetrate the dome's defenses to get into the cave system. The team with the combat skins are dispatched to investigate.

Upon arriving in Northern Russia the team is briefed on the inability to penetrate the dome with anything from small arms fire to a tactical nuclear strike. The team leader suggests against using warheads until after his team attempts to enter the dome. The team heads out with a convoy of armored vehicles to the dome perimeter. The dome is transparent but it has a honeycombed pattern to it's design. The convoy drops off the team and returns to the forward operations base as the team attempts to walk into the dome. The energy barrier refuses and they are slightly electrocuted and shocked by the defensive energy field. The team leader suggests using their armor ability to allow them to "punch" through the shield barrier. The team does, but they are still withheld from entering. After pondering, the team leader notices that the energy field is similar to the energy barrier that the combat armor projects in design and operation. He suggests that they activate the armor ability and their armor's energy shield to allow them to "penetrate" the barrier envelope. By doing so that would allow them to temporarily negate the kinetics of their physical armor because their armor's shields would interact with the dome's shield and draw the energy away. (Like a small soap bubble getting inside a bigger one). They use their shields and they manage to slip inside the dome, but all communications to the outside are cut off.

The team makes their way across the open ground and into the cave system which leads them into the bowels of the machine. Moving deeper inside they discover a massive energy device that is powering this machine. The team then heads farther into the structure and finds their way onto a command deck. They notice that Earth is a hologram floating above a projector and that several more planets, including Mars are highlighted as well. The team leader suggests that this machine is actually a crashed spaceship that was meant for a invasion force but due to the crash the occupants died. However, two of the team members are captured by a pair of aliens that take them and disappear. The team leader orders a search of the vessel to recover his missing men (by using their Friend-or-Foe transponders to track them) but the search party is too late and they only find the mangled corpses of the two missing soldiers. The team leader manages to disconnect the dome's energy projector from the command deck and issues a "First Contact" transmission to the forward operating base and Pentagon. The military officials order him to attempt to communicate with the aliens. He tells them that two of his team are killed and that these aliens appear hostile. The Pentagon gets a message from a "reliable source" telling them that these aliens are a threat to all galactic civilization.

The Pentagon thinks that this message is a joke as the team leader tells them of a small radar blip orbiting Mars. The Pentagon orders that the Hubble Telescope image Mars and after being moved into a higher orbit, the telescope gets several images of a sharp-looking vehicle orbiting the red planet. Then, the vessel disappears before reappearing in orbit around Earth, and obscuring the telescope itself. Suddenly, the telescope explodes in a cloud of metal and plastic as the alien ship fires a energy weapon at the telescope, destroying it. The Pentagon rescinds the "communicate with aliens" order and tells him to extract from the vessel and to eliminate the hostiles with "extreme prejudice." The team leader rallies his men and they make their way out of the command deck and towards the exit when they pass a chamber filled with stasis capsules however only one of them is occupied with a humanoid-looking figure. The team leader is curious, he seems drawn to the capsule, and manages to open it. The humanoid is spilled onto the deck in a splash of thick viscous fluid. The flesh of the humanoid is scarred and bruised. The humanoid gets up to it's knees before regarding the combat team with a cold discernment and then the humanoid nods. He points to his chest, where a tattoo of several dots connected by lines is painted, and then up towards the ceiling (past the ceiling and into space).

The team leader sees that the dot and line tattoo is a line drawing of the Orion constellation and it clicks. The team leader asks the humanoid if it's from Orion and the humanoid only nods. Then, the humanoid points at the team leader, then itself, then to the tattoo and then to the stars again. The team leader looks at him thinking out loud: "we come from you, and you came here from there?" The humanoid looks at him, cocks it's head before sighing and opens the mouth as if to speak when it's head is decapitated from it's body by an invisible alien. The team kills this alien and the team leader looks down at the headless body, and sees that there is something clasped in the humanoid's hand: a papyrus (from Egypt when the Pyramids were built) with a description of the vaults hidden here by the humanoid race. After securing the papyrus the team makes their way towards the exit, and out of the cave system and onto a battlefield.

The scout ship around Mars deployed several battalions of troops to prevent the combat team from getting out of the cave/ship alive. The combined US/British forces however managed to stall the alien assault and the team leader is ordered to extract with his team to report and be debriefed at the Pentagon. Upon arriving at the Pentagon, the military officials classify all that was seen/heard/found/read at the Tunguska site TOP-SECRET: BLACK and that the Tunguska site is now official under CIA jurisdiction as well. The papyrus recovered from the humanoid is translated and it reveals the locations of several buried "vaults" left behind by the Osirians who were slowly eradicated by an unknown enemy. The only reference to what the enemy is was written at the end of the description, in Latin : "CAVE DE DRACO" (or "Beware of the Dragon." The CIA performs handwriting comparisons and they match it with Niccolo Polo during his journeys East into Asia. The location of where that was written is in smaller handwriting underneath "cave" and that location is: Nepal. The team leader suggests then that they should start there.

NOTE:

The alien motives behind this is to draw out those who are wearing the combat skins and to combat them. If the aliens are defeated, then these humans wearing the combat armor are strong enough to help another alien race (the Osirians) defeat their archenemy.

The Osirian's arch-nemesis deployed scout ships throughout the Orion star complex (the Orion constellation) and began deploying pods with scouts onto the various populated systems within Orion. These scouts use the pod's resources to construct a teleportation device to the orbiting scout ship and the alien scouts begin abducting humans and teleporting them to the scout ship to be "processed." That form of processing is the complete degradation of the physical shell into a viscous substance that the aliens are using as forms of propulsion.

The scout ship (as is all the other equipment of this alien race) organic in construction and the design relies on organic material, like melted-down humans, to power all of the alien race's machines.

This alien race began to run out of it's resources and chose humanity as a way to subvert their society's collapse. Earth was chosen due to it's high reproduction rate and the constantly growing population. The aliens order of process is that older humans are processed first, and then the next oldest and the order of procession falls under that. The people who are raising children, or are pregnant are ignored because their offspring isn't large enough to process to provide enough energy.
