“Here, it’s here. Hurry!”
"Phil we need you to translate this wall. Rather rapidly would be nice, I don’t want to be entombed!”
“Yes, yes, I’m here, just calm down everyone. This shouldn’t take very long at all.”

Well, our friends seem to be on a journey. Luckily for you, I know where they are heading. A place that is still unknown to humans, even in the year 2016. Paranormal activity abounds! I have the knowledge that no-one else does, which is unfortunate for my children here. They are in a very powerful cave. The cave is inhabited with feral beings, designed to have the intelligence to terminate all that enter into its sacred walls. Dark. Gloomy. On this day our specialist team of experts (the world’s finest) attempt to take it on. It is an ancient, wretched place to be. Uncomfortable. Cramped. Scary. Survival is the key to success but will they figure this fact out before they won’t be able to see daylight ever again?

“Come on Phil, what does the damn wall inform us with?” Wiping the crumbling dust off, Phil (the knowledgeable, veteran scientist, who is part of the team for the intellect that they need) read out this pre-historic language and symbols.
“Ahaa! Yes ok…..well….. this wall, using my experience in this era of language gives me a strong indication that this is the….. enslavement room. This is it! Oh, well reading further on it seems to suggest that the customised door has a contraption that only allows it to work once. We will be trapped if we enter preventing us from escaping if the door so happens to close!”
“I could help with this. After all, my strength hasn’t been fully explored yet, this may be a challenge for me. I’m sick of this place; I want to get this finished!” ‘The Gargantuan’ Dave demanded.
“What exactly do you have in mind? It is around a couple of tonne of steel. Have you seen the thing! It’s massive!”
“Well I will flex my muscles to get me into the zone. Then, that door is history!"
“Right. I will trust you on this one. Get yourself fired-up and get ready to execute the plan!”

The enslavement room. The objective. Mythology has rumoured around the fact that this troublesome tomb has the best kept secret in the history of the universe. The knowhow and the evidence to firmly secure the information of how: the galaxies; the universe; the world, was created. All locked up tight and safe, in a cherished chest! No-one really believed it until some government officials stumbled across some disapproved scientific documents. These were not published at the time they were written as people refused to believe the findings (including the president). The papers notified people of abnormal activity around the area that surrounds the tomb. The scientist that found these happenings was professor Richtofen. Clever. Strange. He was a demented man, also a devoted man, dedicating most of his working life to figuring this puzzle out. In a recent world summit, all major government forces declared a small investigation should be carried out. No preparation, no warning. Just four elite personal, told the would be representing the world in this ‘investigation’. So, they were sent on this treacherous voyage.

“Dave. Listen to me. I hope to god that you know what you are doing. If that door closes, we are dead. There is no other way of putting that. I will unlock the mechanism when you are ready.”
“Are you doubting me Phil? You need to trust me on this one, after flexing my muscles this door will not shut on us, I promise this.”
“Andy, keep an eye on your heartbeat sensor, mainly the door, could be enemy contact charging at us. Right. Guns at the ready. Phil, eyes open to spot any technical faults, failing now is not an option now people! Dave, door. Over excessive strength required. Ok, everyone ready? Execute plan in five. Four. Three. Two. One…”

I think this is the right time to tell you about my unrelated children here. Carter, born leader. Knows how to lead a squad to victory. Part of the most successful squad in Afghanistan as they assassinated two main Taliban figures, which signalled the beginning of the end of the war. Phil. Not many technical faults that he can’t overcome, has had a troubled life, however he swapped his disturbed street-life for engineering and has become one of the best. Has picked up the tricks of the trade. Lieutenant colonel Andy Johnson. Specially trained as a sharpshooter with any gun and he never misses. He is so loyal to his country which was his downfall as the government used propaganda to convince him into this mission. Confused and frustrated, he needs his team to help him through this and to focus as much as possible. ‘The Gargantuan’ Dave. World record weight lifter. Charismatic and confident guy who knows his strength as he doesn’t know the feeling of losing a competition. (He sees everything as a competition.) Isn’t afraid of anything, which includes speaking his own mind, this is only one side to him as people say that his bubbly personality makes him loved by everyone. Every ounce of strength is needed from his flexed muscles to succeed as are all of their traits.

“Holy crap! Sorry to interrupt into this ever-changing situation for you guys however a problem has bloody occurred! I can’t hold this door for an eternity you know.”
“Too much enemy heat on us, argh more coming from three-o’clock. Three-o’clock!”
“Right, team I have a plan. Dave stay on the door, you know it can’t close. Do anything in your power to stop that hinge from shutting! Everyone else, head over to this pool after we terminate these tangos.”
“None left sir, ready to move on?”
“Steady. Ready, Go! Go! Go…”
“Wow, would you look at that. Its, indescribably beautiful, I can’t, I can’t believe it’s real!”
“Oh god, careful! Be very cautious here, I have just examined this pool and the pH level is alarming acidic. In other words people this liquid will make you burn to death. Ha so probably not the best idea to go near that.”
“How can we get to it then? It is soaked in the stuff and oh yeah the fact that it is swimming in it too!”
“We haven’t come this far, risked this much, been chucked down here for nothing. We are leaving with the crate! Imagine the wonders it could do. Imagine what we would learn, what possibilities it could hold. Failure is not an option!”
“Ha oh my god, oh my dear lord, did you guys hear that? Now you know I’m not an expert, however sarcasm aside I’m pretty sure that an unfortunate situation has occurred. I believe that that was Dave screaming for help!”
“You’re right. Quick lets go and help him and we will come back for this later, the clever bastards have targeted him!”
“We are on our way Dave, we are on our way!”
* * * * * *
So there we have it. I am the only one who knows what has happened to them down there, I will let wonder and ponder on the thoughts of what happened to them. If only my omniscience could be used to better use with the world in this crisis. All I can tell you is this. There was a huge thud! Then… The door slammed shut, never to be opened again.
