THE CHOSEN ONES ( PART SIXTY )

Lena cleared away, while Addie changed into his
Pilots Uniform. It had a metallic lustre to it,
and was made of a special material, that would
withstand any temperatures, it also reacted with
his body temperature, so that he would not be too
hot, or too cold. The material also had an antibacterial layer inside, so that he would not
need to shower.

He kissed Lena and said his goodbyes. "Now you won't forget to watch me leave, on the monitor,
will you Luke?"

"You bet I won't dad!"

As Addie left, Lena switched the monitor on. The
four Crystal Ships, stood on their own Landing Pads.

*************

Addie made his way to the entry doors, with the
other guys, that were taking the trip too.

A buzzer went off, the doors opened and they walked
along a tunnel to their Ships.

Once inside, each person went to their post. Inside
the Ship, there were lights, monitors and special
scanning machines, for reprogramming the victims.

At the controls were the pilots, there were two for
each Ship. Addie was an engineer, but also an Officer.

The Navigator watched his screen, calculation of
time of arrival on Earth...was twelve hours, from
lift off.

**************

There was a silence, as Lena and Luke waited and
watched.

First an invisible barrier surrounded the Ship,
apart from at the top, in the centre. It was like
they were protected in a bubble.

Then a beam of light came from the roof of the Ship, almost like the beam from a torch light.

The Crystal Ships, then began to lift off the ground, they were being drawn up, into the beam of
light.

All of a sudden the beams of light went out...and
took the Ships with them. The journey had begun.
