Machia Veil Timeline

Next morning – Loch Lorian, Scottishland

Military helicopters thundered in the Scottishlands.

“Clear the area!” said Ellis as the team fell back from the lake. Aerial cranes lowered and dropped planks of construction materials. The SBU from Club 7 abseiled down from the helicopters.

The Archaemenes surrounded the Loch Lorian and busied themselves with the construction plans. Others used vibration readings to figure which spot had the highest reading. Three Archs emitted sound waves, eagerly awaiting the echoes that would reveal hidden details, then recorded these in their digital notebooks. The Tarran team, diligent in their work, constructed the camp around the boat. Their tools clanking against the stones.

Kit Mannon arrived that evening and crossed the fence that surrounded the site. Security agents guarded the perimeter. Just as he came closer, Ellis came to greet him.

“I told you to stay away!” he said, but then he smiled. “Darn good work Ellis.”

“Thank you, sir,” she said.

Ellis led Kit past agents in flak jackets wearing safety glasses and hardhats fusing metals. Other agents poured cement mix into the lake until it rose above the water. They reached a portable office trailer and stepped inside.

“Sir!” Darcy stood up and cleared the table for Kit.

Kit opened his suitcase and brought out a large hard drive. “All the recordings of RayCrest coding in one hard drive.”

Ellis’ eyes widened. “We will go through each one, sir. You can count on us.”
