Free The Thing: from the Depths of Hell by V Bertolaccini

getting permission from Mitchel and Bryan to tell them about
their discoveries, but he would only have added and worsened all
the confusion and problems that they had, and there being something
out in the void.
    The situation
was bad, and they were all starting to think there might not be a
way out of it now, and the tension about the spacecraft was
increasing, and people in or near targeted areas reacted as if they
were in war zones.
    Kruger
suddenly recalled recognizing some of the work that Mitchel and
Bryan had done, after he had examined documents about them.
    Their stuff
was surprising, and even more surprising with them being psychic
researchers, and he even thought that they were deliberately
putting the psychic researchers title on them to cover their work
and discoveries, as he had hardly even seen anyone even check what
they did or had created.
    They informed
him that they were checking for virtually all known forms of energy
and matter disturbances in the void and on the spacecraft.
    He wondered if
they had something that could properly detect the aliens, so they
would know where they were, and stop them catching and killing them
all.
    Presumable
their presence could act on things and produce effects to indicate
them being there – such as altering air currents, gravity, magnetic
fields, radioactivity, scent, sound waves, static, and the light
spectrum ...
    Most of the
equipment in the surrounding laboratory was there to check
everything in a degree that had not been done before!
    Kruger moved
over to some equipment, and asked, “Would this detect the alien at
a distance?”
    “ It is
only for detecting temperature at great distances! I am unsure what
temperature readings the alien creates! But we do have stuff here
that we use to check a whole range of things, to show us exactly
what is occurring, and what we may be missing. Information such as
it is of course vital. We may be able to acquire some type of
insight into what is happening, with the right
information.”
    “ Have
you used the equipment on the alien?”
    Mitchel
strangely glared at him, and asked, “What take the stuff over
there? Why would you want to do that?”
    “ To find
out if we are missing something! That thing is starting to kill
more and more people, and they have not come up with anything to
destroy it with. And if things go the way that they are it will
kill everyone aboard! If you have anything, even if it just helps
locate its position then it will be of great use ...”
    Bryan glared,
and wondered how much he was exaggerating the situation, and if
they should help.
    “ That
may be a good idea,” Bryan finally replied, still considering it.
“But what would it want the ship for? And why go to such lengths to
get it, and why could it not work with us?”
    “ I’ve a
few good ideas about that, you should know ...”
    Mitchel
moaned, “We wanted to see it. Will you take us to it?”
    “ Yes! It
is not as secretive and hidden now! And the military are following
and attacking it with what they have! We can go and see it if you
want?”
    “ Alright! We will go and see it then!”
    “ I don’t
know if I should laugh or cry! You’re going to be surprised
somewhere! I can assure you! To think I was in the same vehicle as
that thing out there on that world, trapped with it ...”
    Kruger picked
up a container from his bag, and poured drink from it down his
throat. “That’s perfect! What type of surveillance stuff have you,
for detecting it?”
    “ We have
a great deal of stuff as we have shown you! We specialize and
experiment in detecting things! This is the best there is, and we
love investigating anything extraordinary. Even if it is an
assassin trying to wipe us all out ... And we would love to help
stop it ...”
    Kruger began
to leave, and they followed. He was getting tired, and he needed
some sleep, and he wanted to do one last thing before he finished
up for the day, and to get these scientists to see what they were
up
