Lewis and Captain Fernando escorted Alana to the oil rig. Alana didn't want to talk during the drive as one of her captains was there. Arriving at the base, they took the motorboat to the rig. When they had entered the base, Fernando explained that Donna developed a plan to investigate the mysterious occurrences in Navatheas. As they opened the control room, they saw Donna and other High-Ranking Soldiers -- General Marcus, Captain Jones, and Lieutenant Dan.
"We're all gathered here today for a critical mission. Today, we will finally investigate the uncanny things happening in Navatheas. Seismic activity, storms, and creatures," Donna explained.
"What do you mean 'creatures?' There is no such thing," Dan said.
"What creatures?" Alana asked.
"We sent a drone two days ago via a helicopter. Thankfully, the storm wasn't severe, so the delivery was successful. We used that drone to measure seismic activity, but its radar detected multiple hostile life forms. Then, the connection cut," Donna replied.
"But it is a dangerous mission!" Dan frantically said.
"The suits for all of us are prepared. Soldiers are likewise," Marcus explained.
"How about the plan?" Jones asked.
"Do not worry, Jones. Donna and I worked on it," Marcus said.
Donna activated the hologram and began to explain the plan.
"Today, the thunderstorm barrier around Navatheas became more incensed. It is rapidly spreading as we speak. The ETA of the storm to our base is one hour. We don't have enough equipment to protect the rig from acid rain. Thus, the vault door must be securely closed," Donna said.
"All of you will be using GEA, now packed with missiles, proper weapons, parachutes, and medical equipment. GEA was specially modified to withstand any liquid that can melt its surface. Lightning can't penetrate through the thick roof of GEA. However, it can malfunction the controls and contacts system," Marcus continued.
"Once we pass through the storm barrier, we land at a flat space in Navatheas and close in the perimeter. We will take care of those creatures and find out what is causing those mega-storms," Donna said.
"All assigned troops, proceed to GEA. I repeat, all assigned troops, proceed to GEA," Marcus announced to the speaker.
"May God Bless us all," Donna said.
As soon as Alana had entered the aircraft, she saw that the general wasn't coming. As Captain Fernando approached the ship, Alana ran towards him.
"Captain! Why isn't General Marcus coming?" Alana asked him.
"He shall be our communication. If something goes wrong or we need reinforcements, we can contact him," the captain replied.
When the crew had become complete, Donna closed the entrance doors. Donna - a great pilot - skillfully maneuvered the ship towards a hole that led to the ocean's surface. Emerging from the surface, the boosters of GEA, like wind, blasted.
"ETA to Navatheas 10 minutes," Donna said.
Donna safely piloted the ship. A beeping sound was heard by the crew. Lieutenant Dan saw that it was a storm warning. The storm was moving faster than expected. Donna said, "Hold on, everyone, this is going to be a rough ride."
