The Stargate Black Hole (2 page)

As he rushed through the canyon he started to
examine the rocks and realized that the small rocks on the ground
had been cut and that they looked artificially cut and he wondered
who would want to do anything there, and what had they had been
doing there? What could they be possibly have been doing away out
there? Unless it was mining! Or it had been done before the
moonbase had been built!

His mind raced through what had occurred and
he tried to discover why! For some reason he only realized that the
location that he drove into had been a region that nobody at the
moonbase went in, and he started to wonder what was there! Was
there something hidden away there? And why had they not just found
a way to stop him? Instead of destroying an expensive space
vehicle, which had a limited quantity!

Why would they go to such lengths to kill
him? What could possibly be there? What could be there in such a
desolate place?

When he finally ignored it all and left it
until later when he found something buried away under rocks in an
area at his side, and removed rocks and revealed a metal grid
cover, where he saw some moondust starting to be blown up, and he
grabbed a handful of dust and threw it over it and was surprised at
the power of the flow and the dust blowing away up above him.

He was sure it was air and that something
below was blasting vast amounts of it up, and he stood pondering
what could be there!

He eventually lifted the metal cover and
found a vast tunnel going straight down deep into the moon below,
which had clearly been hollowed out with some large powerful
machine, which he had not seen there before. Yet he had not checked
everything at the moonbase, or how it had been constructed!

He started to see away out of being caught by
the vehicle, and having to attack it and at the most stopping it
from following him, as they surely had weapons aboard to handle
being attacked and he was positive that he now never had enough
oxygen to make it back to the moonbase.

Yet who had dug such a tunnel? He then
wondered if it belonged to a foreign country that intended to
monitor and perhaps destroy the secret research/military station in
a distant future war!

With his light turned up he grabbed at its
metal ladder going down into the metal pipe tunnel and he rushed
into it and swiftly covered the lid over the top, with a pile of
rocks and stones that he put over the top, and he slightly shook it
and made sure it was covered over above him.

He realized that he could easily climb down,
and he started to investigate it, while avoiding being killed! He
was sure it had been put there for a reason and that something was
just below him! If he could stay there long enough without using up
anymore air.

He was positive that the men could not trace
him there as he never left footprints leading there, as well as
before he had entered the canyon going through the hills, and they
would not find him.

Surely they would guard the area around the
moonbase for a long time until they knew he definitely had no air
supply left and consider him dead!

He swiftly aimed his light downwards and
started climbing downwards, as he considered what would be
below.

Sounds and echoes mingled through the hollow
metal tunnel, going through the blowing air, which grew denser the
lower he climbed, and he realized how he missed outer sounds.

The wind below gave haunting whistles and he
eventually realized that there was enough air around him to remove
his spacesuit helmet and he removed it slowly testing the air and
seeing if it was alright and dense enough for him to breathe, with
him ready to shove the helmet back on, and he finally with
satisfaction turned off the air in his spacesuit and rested.

The air smelt strange and he could not
recognize what it was, and he wondered why they had so much of it
and were allowing it to blow out, and he pondered what could be
below. The depth had to be great as he could not even see the
bottom and he had shifted down a large distance.

He was stunned at the dangers that he had
been through and realized that he would have to leave the moon and
return home, and if they never found the men in the vehicle or
proved that they existed they would know that he knew about them
and would surely still want him killed, and he wondered what was
there that they wanted him dead for!

He had to warn the others about the danger!
They were too deadly! They had destroyed an entire space vehicle
with a powerful military missile! How would they handle them back
at the moonbase if they heard about it and discovered where they
were? Would they even be able to handle them? He was not sure the
moonbase was designed and had the weapons to carry out anything
against them!

No matter how he tried to shake it off and
contemplate their identities his thoughts never formed stable
recognitions as he had not seen them! And he had little on what was
below him and he continued downwards wondering if he had enough air
to return to the moonbase and if there was somewhere below where he
could increase his air supply!

An area of the tunnel had cracked from
something! Perhaps from moonquakes? And he stopped to examine the
area where part of the metal tunnel had fallen downwards and left
the rock behind it visible, and he examined it with interest, and
was amazed at it being different from Earth stone. He pondered what
people who knew him would think of it and him being on the moon!
None of them even knew of the secret moonbase!

Dust fell down and blew upwards and swirled
up and through the beams from his light and his shadow and he
continued to climb down, edging down to some unknown destination
and future, seeking to discover what was below and how to
survive.

He realized that he had avoided being killed
after all and wondered if he was going to be killed later,
especially when he climbed back out and went outside.

He moved down fast, realizing the mistake he
could be making and what could be below, and thought of the trouble
he could have getting back to the surface and trying to find the
moonbase on the dark strange surface.

He examined how the tunnel had been built
with some interest, while glimpsing parts of the shaft above, and
was surprised again at how long and expensive what was there must
be.

He had always wanted to investigate some
great mystery and it had even been one of the reasons he had been
in the moon vehicle and was exploring the unexplored region! It had
helped lead him into becoming a scientist and to go to such far out
desolate locations, and he wanted to explore more. He had wanted to
explore and discover new things of value and greatness, and perhaps
even be remembered!

What interested him the most was why they had
gone to such lengths to kill him, and what the tunnel was doing out
there!

What treasures could be hidden away in such
regions of the moon, with it being so not properly explored?

What was he dealing with though? Why were
they trying to kill him? Were they protecting something that they
had hidden?

Something of unfathomable unidentifiable
nature was there and he could not grasp it no matter how hard he
tried! As nothing he knew was good enough to explain it!

As he lowered himself progressively down he
started to realize the depth of it and wondered what the hell he
was letting himself in for! He had hardly been out of the moonbase,
and had been only fulfilling his fantasy of being on the moon and
exploring it, and going by what all the other scientists said and
what he saw nobody really went outside! There was no real need, and
no real work was required there.

Being on other worlds fascinated him and he
wondered what mysteries were hidden out there! They had hardly
explored any of the moon and they acted like the whole lot had been
checked! His arrival there had been incredible as he had watched
the space vehicle landing and the moon surface stretching out.

He was fascinated in its interior and
wondered if hollow regions existed in its interior, as he was sure
the actual gravity being so low would allow it, and he was sure
that they had actually mentioned that the moon’s gravity was lower
than it should have been and that it had not been properly checked
until it had been landed on, and he believed the only thing that
could properly account for it was a large hollow region or regions
in it!

There was something not right! Something
secretively had been built there and he could not realize why, and
why it was being covered up, and he considered if it was the
Russian scientists there and the people in the vehicle.

He realized the implications of the discovery
and if he was trapped there, and wondered what was below. He had to
check what was there, no matter what! He could not let it go, and
he had to survive and give the information.

The temperature of the warm air rising
increased as he got lower and he wondered what could produce it and
how much fuel would be wasted generating it, and how little they
used at the moonbase, and wondered how much fuel they would have to
bring in to supply it! But they would probably use atomic fuel to
power it! But why did they need so much?

The tunnel was incredibly and uniquely
drilled and fitted with a metal pipe and made with incredible
precision and he knew it had to belong something advanced. What he
could not work out was what could be built out there!

He realized again that Moonbase X1 might use
underground volcanic activity for a power supply, and heat and air
supply, which would explain the vast amounts of warm air below
him.

He had not been able to properly explore the
moonbase and lower regions because much of it needed a higher
confidential clearance, and he had only a lower confidential
clearance!

If there was underground volcanic activity
there it was an ultimate idea for permanently living there! It
would supply everything that they needed! In fact all they needed
was water to do that anyway!

He gripped the metal ladder hard and rested
and fixed his boot and looked up to the top of the tunnel and saw
darkness there now, and looked and listened to what was there, and
wondered what would happen if he was caught there.

He considered taking off his spacesuit so he
could climb down better, but he would then have to carry it down,
and he considered throwing it down the tunnel in a large ball and
getting it at the bottom but he could not risk damaging it or
allowing it to give him away until he found who or what was
there.

A silent thud echoed up from below and
eventually he looked down trying to grasp something, and considered
putting his light out, but he saw that it was a freak air gust
moving something below and tried to guess the distance to where if
had come.

When the bottom appeared he stopped and
stared in wonder and considered what was in the deep blackness, and
considered the incredible trouble he would have climbing out.

He was mainly confused at what would be there
and wondered how long his light would last! Its radiance was about
the same and he realized how tired his legs had become, with
climbing down and running from being killed above!

What would the outcome of it be? Would he
even find anything? What could be there? It could have belonged to
earlier scientists, checking for something? The moonbase was old
and a great deal of research had originally been done on the moon
there!

Hazy echoes off his deep breathing broke the
extraordinary silence and he examined below as he shifted
downwards, and he started to find the warm air getting warmer and
he frequently stopped to gasp for air, while dangling about with
hideous expectations of plunging into danger!

A distant upper rumble of something
blowing air out became hearable and he realized how dangerous the
place might become if he met anyone below, and he was left
confused
!

When he reached the bottom he was too busy
focusing on getting there fast to see anything other than the metal
floor, and he only looked around when he had got off the metal
ladder!

All around him metal tunnels were moving air
about, as part of an air system for some sort of underground
moonbase and he heard something nearby powerfully blowing out air
in one of the tunnels, and he wondered if the ventilation system of
Moonbase X1 was the same!

He started crawling along the tunnel, where
he had heard something nearby powerfully blowing out air, and he
came to a ventilation opening where he saw a room through and he
looked for people but never saw anyone or anything!

He continued searching the tunnel and
eventually came to an immense place where the air was being
produced from a water supply and he realized that they had an
underground water supply after all, and boiling water from
underground volcanic activity.

He realized that they could be heating ice
below and extracting the hot water! But he was sure hot magma was
heating the water and they were pumping it out, and he realized why
they might have chosen there for a moonbase.

He moved along and entered another tunnel and
came to a very large ventilation opening supplying an immense dim
structure that he was sure had something, and after seeing that
there was nobody about and that it looked like they had not been
there for a long time he decided investigate it and carefully
removed the cover and climbed out.

In the dim light he saw an immense hall and
finally saw a large artificial black object resting in the center,
which vanished in the distance, into darkness, and he gasped and
examined what he could properly see, and tried to see the roof a
hundred feet overhead, and it going higher further in, and he
gasped again and wondered what hell he was looking at!
