The private jet cruised along high above the ocean, the sun shining off it like a mirror.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So Doctor Udo, can you tell me yet what it is?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Honestly Verity I have no idea.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Really? I thought you were the top scientist on the site?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

well I am the lead researcher, but so far I’ve only been able to send the rest of the team there, my first flight was delayed so I got stuck here with you… not that it isn’t a pleasure of course,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Udo gave the young reporter a smile, which she definitely appreciated, he was a very charming young man, and brilliant too. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153So I don’t have a clue what is at the site itself\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153and your team hasn’t sent you any data or correspondence? It’s been a few days since they arrived hasn’t it?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well it’s to be expected, the electro-magnetic interference there is very great, and we’ve detected high levels of radiation too.. nothing harmful to us,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Udo reassured Verity \u00e2\u20ac\u0153but it seems to enjoy breaking out equipment. We’ll likely be recording most our data the old fashioned way.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Udo smiled pleasantly again, before sipping from his tea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153and what way is that?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Verity looked up from her notepad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Same way you’re doing it.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Udo nodded at her pen and paper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is the pilot speaking, just wanted to inform you it should be about two hours before we touchdown, I’m sure you understand it would be dangerous to get the plane too close to the X zone. Pilot out.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The plane continued over the ocean, carrying one of the worlds most brilliant scientists and one of it’s most determined reporters to a place unlike any other on the planet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
