[QUOTE="talien, post: 4588292, member: 3285"] [b]Jack Frost: Conclusion[/b] Jim-Bean, Hammer, and Howell were seated before an impromptu inquisition, in Lewis' tent. Sprague sat on one side, Warner on the other. "Let me get this straight," said Sprague. "You believe an alien civilization visited this area a millennia ago and set up a—" "Resonance field," said Jim-Bean. Howell had him well rehearsed. "Using the five mounds—" Sprague looked down at his notes. "Using the five mounds to create a harmonic vibration that destroyed the Russian device?" "Well it all starts with Ithaqua. Philip Hodges summoned him out at Exit 23. We stopped him by cracking the Eye of Ithaqua—" Sprague rubbed his forehead. "Not this demon $#!t again. I thought I told you about backing your findings up with real science." He turned to Lewis, embarrassed. "I'm sorry sir, there's clearly a misunderstanding—" "If I may, sir?" Howell stepped forward.
