Snow had been falling when Lt. Rob Martin had departed for Hawaii,
but his trip was no vacation. While the jet jostled up and down from
turbulence, Martin kept one foot on the bag beneath his feet at all times. The
part inside was needed for a top secret project.
Upon arriving in Honolulu, Lt. Martin’s orders were to board
a one-way flight to a classified location. It was sure to be one-way because,
where he was going next, there was no place to land the plane. The pilot was to
ditch the aircraft in the sea and Martin was told that they would then be “recovered”.
The word did not fill him with confidence.
Martin was now one of the four people not at the site who were
cleared into the program. Only Martin’s boss, the President, and a shadowy
third party knew all the details of the scheme. Martin had been told yesterday,
and he still couldn’t believe that what he had heard was true.
He was being sent to Point Nemo, the location in the Pacific
Ocean that was farthest from land. There, under water, an experiment was underway
that depended on the equipment that Martin was bringing with him. The outcome
of the experiment could change the world.
