Crusaders II 6.3 Cards Shuffled

1.          Warehouse 7B, Port of Washington

The dark sedan bearing the NAVY emblem drove into the warehouse areas designate "Hazardous Materials'. There are two rows of warehouses there surrounded by a high fence, and patrolling guards. The sedan pulled over at the designated warehouse and the heavy doors slide open. The sedan drove in and was greeted by a set of searchlights on the front. The passengers of the sedan dressed now in army fatigues and boots carrying the standard issue duffle bags stepped out and walked out of the searchlights glare.

"Gentlemen, this way." Major Chapman lead the two guests of his to the second portion of the warehouse. Kruger can see the behind the searchlights two APC with machine guns mounted on the top. There are about a dozen heavily armed soldiers standing at the APC.Three of the guards detached themselves from the APC and followed at the rear of Kruger and Miles. They walked past some metal structures before coming to the main gallery of the warehouse. There are arrays of consoles and tall server units with cables running all over the place. In the back of the gallery was what may appeared to be two stone pillars of about two metres high that and stood three metres apart. At the base of the pillars are cables attached to a number of consoles.

A colonel walked up them and Major Chapman salute the senior officer.

"Colonel, this is the authorization letter. Can we get the show on for the invited?" Major Chapman hands over the letter from the General. The colonel muttered something unheard by the two guests and then holler for work to be done. All around the place, people and machines starts to hummed and rumble to get online. The cables can be seen to powered up as they start to glowed and then brighten up before they powered up the pillars. The pillars then glowed up and film of gray white screen appear between the pillars.

"Time to go, gentlemen. Boom Express." Major Chapman walked towards the pillars and went into the film of gray white screen. Kruger hesitated and then followed in with Miles close behind.

The duo who came in could not feel anything but seeing only white all around, and then then it all appeared back to normal. Normal as in they are standing in similar setup from where they just stepped out of. There are the usual array of consoles and server units with the pillars but this chamber is not man made. Its an underground cavern that they were soon to know about the size of a football field. Instead of metal structures, there are tents and camper bags with lots more soldiers. There are also stacks of ammo boxes and guns with half a dozen rotary cannons assembled for deployment.

"Gentlemen, you have just stepped into the new world. To be exact the other dimension. Please allow me to explain. This is Hell." Major Chapman lead them to a large tent.
