Chapter TWENTY-FIVE

Granite Peak Installation

Once again, Snap was back in the training room on Level 15. Slowly, the room stopped spinning, and Snap forced himself to stand up. All his men were alive and shaking off minor aches and pains. Anderson, who a few minutes earlier had been impaled by a sword, was checking out his stomach and chest with both hands. In a couple of minutes, they were all standing in the training room.

“Told you it was a hologram,” said Tim Moore.

“Bullshit. No way it was a hologram,” Brown argued. “You can’t feel a hologram. I felt that shit. I felt it for real.”

“Quiet,” Snap ordered. The men stopped talking and looked toward Snap and then at the eight-foot-tall beast they had just been fighting.

“I am Ater Velens. This is my base. You will follow my orders while you are here. Do you understand?” Ater towered over them. He was no longer wearing his battle armor, but he appeared to be wearing form-fitting, translucent suit.

“How should we address you?” Snap asked.

“I do not stand on ceremony or titles. You may call me Ater.” As Ater moved, the colorless suit reacted to the movement by changing to different hues of a translucent blur.

“Ater, could you explain what just happened to us?”

“Half of your squad was killed by one Ondagra,” he hissed with a hint of disgust.

“Ondagra?” Jackson asked.

“Ondagra is the name for my people; like you refer to yourselves as humans, we refer to ourselves as Ondagra. My kind, the Ondagra, come from Botacoure, a planet that is located thousands of light years from Earth.”

“How did you transport us to a jungle?” asked Snap.

“Major Slade, I did not transport you anywhere. You never left this room. This room is one big holographic projector. The tiles on the walls, floor, and ceiling are each able to project millions of holographic images at once. Combined with that black dome above us, they create an alternate reality that will trick the eye and mind.” Ater pointed at the hexagon-shaped tiles on the walls and floor.

“Not possible,” Snap said. “We felt the rain on our faces, the trees, the ground and the impacts of your weapons. You can’t feel a hologram.”

“Almost true, Major. You don’t feel the holographic projection. In this room, you are surrounded by billions of flying nanobots. These nanobots interact with the hologram, and when they detect that you are about to come in contact with an object in the holographic world, millions of them contact your skin in the appropriate location with the appropriate pressure so that you think you are touching an object, a tree, rain, or a weapon.”

“I picked up a weapon and fired it. I felt the pistol grip in my hand; I felt the recoil.”

“You saw a holographic image of a weapon. When you went to grab the handle, you really grabbed a hand full of nanobots that applied the correct amount of pressure to the palm of your hand to make you believe you were lifting a weapon.
