CIA Headquarters

Langley, Virginia

Steve Grayson, Director of Special Operations stood at his fourth floor office window and watched a distant fountain spray water high into the air. The sight was serene and his mind drifted from the previous stressful meeting he had just attended. For a brief moment, the hypnotic action at the fountain helped him to forget about his worries.

From behind him, his phone rang loudly, startling him back to reality. He spun around and scanned the I.D. screen. A frown crossed his face in discontent. He pressed a button on the console, placing the call on speaker.

“This is Grayson,” he said in official sounding tone.

“Sir, this is Agent Price,” came the voice on the opposite end.

“You guys almost done there? I still can’t believe we have to babysit a bunch of archeologists,” he said in disgusted tone.

“Sir, we’re going to need to stay longer… a lot longer,” Price responded.

Grayson’s mind sharpened. Price was one of his better operatives, never prone to exaggeration. Quickly, he took his seat and picked up the handset.

“You guys found something?” he asked with anticipation.

“Yes Sir. We’ve just uncovered evidence of a possible alien weapon.”

“Well Merry Freakin’ Christmas. Finally, some good news,” Grayson blurted aloud. “Tell me more.”

“From the initial report, it appears the Araean’s were sent here to Earth on a secret mission to develop a biological weapon. That comes straight from the spacecraft’s mission log.”

“A biological weapon? Amazing!” Grayson responded enthusiastically. He thought for a moment, then added, “A secret mission? Secret from whom?”

“According to the log, the Araean’s were at war with another planet. Zeus and Poseidon were sent here as science officers to develop the weapon.”

“So did they actually develop it?” Grayson asked.

“Too soon to tell, Sir. It appears they were working on the formula in a secret lab. If we can find that lab, we’ll have our answer,” Priced said.

“Is there any indication of where the lab might be?” Grayson responded in hopeful tone.

“Not yet, Sir, but they think it might be hidden in some deep water trench.”

“Perfect, just perfect,” Grayson shot back sarcastically. “How deep we talking here?”

“Again, no idea, Sir. When Hammond and I questioned the team about it, the two lead archeologists: Javier Arista and Jack Roberts, were both resistant in giving up any information. It’s part of reason I’m calling. With both men demonstrating a desire to hind evidence of the weapon, we feel it’s possible they might try to destroy all traces of it, including the location of the lab. I’m afraid if we don’t act now, we could lose our opportunity forever.”

“What are you suggesting?”

“Standard policy: neutralize the threat, then bring in our own operatives.”

Grayson thought about the proposed plan. With the spacecraft located on foreign land, cooperation from the Danish government could prove difficult if complications arose from Javi’s and Jack’s death. It was a workable plan, but not without certain risks.

“I’m not sure if we should run this one from the playbook. The Danes have been less cooperative since we slashed funding to the Nord Station airfield.
