looking at the other five cylinders but the initial tests didn’t return any known DNA, and the biological material was something the biologists hadn’t seen before. Tony doesn’t think the other five samples are from Earth. He is going to conduct more tests but it doesn’t sound like he’ll turn up anything new from what he was saying. Testing is ongoing and quite interesting. The cylinders had a semi permeable membrane which let in the lake water. The lake water was likely providing a long term energy source for the material in the cylinders. He is going to experiment with some of the samples. He will update me on any important developments when he knows it’s safe to do so.” Dalton said.

Chapter 4
    Staring at his computer Vincent was trying to make sense of the photos which had been taken at the Prime Pyramid. There were clearly four pyramids which weren’t manmade indicated by the hieroglyphs on the map. There was one in the Antarctic, one on Old Snowy Mountain, one on Mars, and the one on Europa. He knew what was in two of them. He had a strong belief the artifacts and treasure were moved to Mars. He stopped looking at the map and starting working on translating the remaining hieroglyphs in the pictures. Some of the hieroglyphs were recognizable, and some he hadn’t been seen before. It wasn’t similar to anything he had seen on Earth in the past.
    Throughout his life Enzo had made a great deal of friends and a great deal of enemies. He had plenty of each. At times some seemed to be both. His friends knew he was as good as his word. His enemies knew it as well, and knew better then to cross him. He found he still had an old friend who could be counted on in New Mexico. In his youth he spent some time and did some jobs with Randy Stedman the current CEO of Leviathan Transport. He had worked with him and helped him earn the money to get out of New York permanently. The work wasn’t always honest, but money had to be made in their youth. Some of the work consisted of relocating corporate money into the hands of those who could make better use of it. Being young and naïve, it was nothing short of a miracle each of them had escaped relatively unscathed and were successful in their advanced years. Randy had spent his money wisely and always made a profit on his investments. It had been five years since he had spoken with him.
    Enzo called Randy and told him what he wanted and reassured him he would only be sending passengers to Mars. The captain Randy selected would be fully in charge of the expedition. He had told Randy a potential gold mine might be found, and there would be value for the services he was providing if the mission were successful. It would need to happen quickly. Randy agreed to the mission provided Enzo would cover any expenses if nothing was found on Mars. The transport would be leaving in six days. It was time to tell his nephew to pack his bags and notify his friend Dalton.
    The phone Enzo gave him in New York was ringing. Vincent picked it up on the third ring and had to remember not to speak. “Pick up Dalton and arrive at the spaceport in New Mexico tomorrow. You have a meeting with Randy Stedman and I at four in the afternoon. You will not be returning to Seattle and will be leaving in just a few days. Be careful what you say. Don’t talk to anyone about our plans. See you tomorrow Vincenzo. Stay safe.” The clock was ticking and it this point it didn’t matter who was following him. He would be off the planet soon enough anyway. He called Dalton and told him he would be at his house in an hour. He didn’t tell him why, and Dalton knew better then to ask. He hadn’t known Dalton long, but he trusted him. His grandmother wouldn’t have associated with him if she didn’t believe he was a moral and decent man. Vincent packed the essential items he thought he would need and left to pick up his new friend.
    Dalton had left the front door open and Vincent walked in. Vincent handed him a
