[QUOTE="DanMcS, post: 575890, member: 6530"] Mason and Wolfgang hustled into the secret room before the guards came by again, and let it shut behind them with a soft click. The dust of decades stirred with their approach. Crates and boxes littered the room, stacked haphazardly. Peering around with flashlights, they saw footprints in the dust, and the outlines of missing crates. One had measured about seven feet by three and a half- very disturbing. And how had all these crates been carried out without being noticed? A clipboard hung on the wall, and was taken for later perusal. "Isaac, Rae, there's not much here, but some crates were taken. We're coming out." The walkie-talkie was turned off. "Hey, Wolfgang, how we getting out?" "Um, there's a back door..." "It's alarmed." "So? We'll be out." Mason and Wolfgang opened the secret door, looked out, saw no guards, and took off. Cries of "Hey, who's there?" followed them, and they burst out the back door, which started wailing it's electronic warble. Mason and Wolf ignored it and ran, to a side street where Isaac and Rae waited with a cab. *** The clipboard revealed a couple of Ancient Egyptian period relics which might have been taken, including the Sobek Scrolls, scripture of an ancient Egyptian god, and the Eliphantine Casket, which was probably the 7x3.5 box. "You know what was in there? A mummy. I hate mummies." *** Later that night, about the hour of three, another armed reconnaissance was undertaken toward the Turkeman Star. The arabic gunmen were still present, but a cleverly detonated propane fuel tank from a forklift provided distraction, and we think we managed to get a couple of them before being forced to retreat again. Whatever was on that ship, they were guarding it for keeps, and we NEEDED to get to it before they raised that mummy. [/QUOTE]
