Four hours later came a dry voice. ‘Thatcher for Captain Holton. Do you hear me?’

‘Yes, ma’am, I hear you.’

‘You sound British.’

‘British parents, dad from Richmond, but I grew up in Trophy, Canada, ma’am.’

‘And we’re led to believe that you are from some future date.’

‘Ma’am, you can trust your own eyes when I show you where that ship is in Scotland.’

‘We have all started to believe in the fantastic these past few years, and I have seen with my own eyes the suffering it has brought, the anguish and heartache across the world. If you have a solution to offer us, I would gladly kneel down and beg for it.’

‘That would be an unseemly position … for the Iron Lady of the history books. Oh, by the way, your own cabinet will stab you in the back and vote you out later on.’

There came a pause. ‘Perhaps, revelations about the future should be kept quiet for now.’

‘Yes, ma’am.’

‘As to your demands - that we have an international team look at that ship - I agree wholeheartedly, and I agree to make it so.’

‘What’s the time where you are, ma’am?’

‘Coming up to 7am.’

‘Then if you ask your air force not to fire on me, I’ll descend, and position myself over that ship. Your aircraft can track me, and I believe you have … what Chinooks?’

‘We do, yes.’

‘Send them to the Central Highlands, ma’am, and track me as I descend. When they find the ship on the ground it’ll be invisible, so just throw some dirt over it or something. I’ll then help you get inside.’

‘And if we should have any more unwelcome visitors?’

‘Then they’ll be surprised by this ship firing on them. I can track them, and shoot. I’m starting to descend now, but you can reach me on this frequency. Holton to Endeavour, have a good mission, guys.’

Toby slowly descended, being tracked all the while, and positioned himself over Scotland, soon at sixty thousand feet and directly above the alien ship. He set a slow decent rate, and could see the tracks of aircraft below him, figuring them to be RAF Tornados or Phantoms. When he noticed two slow-moving aircraft, he figured them helicopters, and descended to ten thousand feet. Images of the helicopters came up on his screens, and they were indeed twin rotor Chinooks. With the helicopters just a few miles away he dropped lower, jets now overhead, and continued on down till he was just five hundred feet above the highest peak.

Scanning the various frequencies in use, he tapped-in to the Chinook pilot. ‘Lead Chinook, this is Captain Toby Holton in the craft above you. Receiving, over?’

‘This is Mike Whiskey One Niner, receiving you.’

‘Mike Whiskey, that alien ship is in a nasty tight gorge, and for good reason; not to be found. You’ll need to open your rear and have soldiers jump onto the slope, or you’ll hit the mountainside. Approach with caution.’

‘Captain Holton, received and understood, over.’

Toby observed the scene below, displayed as a holographic image, soldiers seen to be jumping from the rear of the helicopter, packs and weapons thrown out.
