Omega protocol Part 78

"Do we have now a map of the mountain base?" the Captain asked.

"Yes, sir. I put it on table two," Clark informed.

"Try to hide now the drones. We still need to know what is happening there. Maybe let one or two hide and go silent," came the order from the Captain while he looked at the map. He didn't know how the enemy will track the drones. But if they don't search them explicitly, there is a good chance they won't be spotted, he thought.

Still there was no one to see. But the others near the fallen woke up. They were a bit disoriented. Then two of them carried one of the fallen away while the other took the rifle and stayed.

"They are carrying one of us away from the door. One is guarding at the door," Knight was informed by the Captain.

"We have a lot of alien rifles here, but I guess they won't burn through that door. However, we will try." Knight replied, then made the preparations for that.

A huge lift door opened and two more turtle faces came out of it. The elevator had a height of about four meters and a width of over ten. The other two with the fallen stepped in. After getting the last one all vanished and this level was abandoned from the living. Still there were some structures, machines, production installations and storage areas. At that level it seemed the ore was getting refined. Iron, titan, aluminum and whatever rods were there produced and stored. This all seemed to work fully automatic.

"I guess the lower level is more interesting," Clark noted as they viewed the interior of the base.
