what had happened with his damaged
parachute and his way of saving himself.
    “ Do you think we should attack them
then!” Commander Craven answered firmly.
    “ I’ve been monitoring them with
my thermal weapon
sight!” he swiftly replied. “None of them show themselves! So I
reckon we could easily surprise some of them!”
    “ Good idea! But dangerous! You have to
wade through that bloody blizzard and not be seen! Can you do it
then?”
    “ Yes!” he answered. “Anyone want to
join me? We can’t stay here all night!”
    Weaver was surprised that nobody but Reeves
agreed with carrying it out, and he realized that they never
thought much of the idea! Yet he did see their point and that he
would only be able to get one or two, and risk putting them in
further danger. Yet deep down he really wanted to know who was
there, and capture one and question him.
    “ So you’re going?” Commander Craven
laughed.
    “ Yes!” he replied firmly, and started
fixing himself up and preparing himself, and watched their blank
faces examining him.
    Once he and Reeves were ready he examined the
region around his front and they rushed out and sneaked along
regions that they would be unseen in.
    He wondered why they had stopped firing
anyway. Yet he realized they had probably realized that they were
well armed and capable of killing them! How could they attack and
beat them with them being so heavily armed? Then as he properly
examined the area around where they were he realized that they were
capable of attacking them at places that they were not hidden
in.
    He was still barely able to realize what the
outcome of such a situation could be!
    Reeves removed his communicator and
established contact with Commander Craven and they moved on faster,
and as they approached the place where the nearest of the gunmen
had been he realized that he could not believe that this case could
be solved easily. He just knew something would stop him getting any
information from the gunmen if they captured them! This mission
seemed to be going to be the worst and hardest!
    He thought of the earlier battle and the
death of the soldier near him and how ruthlessly they had attacked.
He had never fully realized how desolate, deadly, and beyond
civilization the Antarctic was, and how far from any help it was.
If anything serous happened they could not get help! He wondered if
a war took place there if they could handle it.
    When they finally reached where the gunmen
were he hid and examined the place and found it empty, and they
moved in and checked for anything, and he barely found part of a
footstep, which gave him no information.
    They gave the information back to Commander
Craven and continued to the other locations, going from one to
another, checking for clues, until they had checked every hidden
location, and they informed the others and they joined them.
    Now all they needed to do was get to the ice
station without getting shot, and they decided to use the darkness
and blizzard and go sideways and move there from another
direction!

    The Secret Ice
Station
     
    The next big surprise they discovered was
that the ice station was covered over by deep snow, which they had
spent many hours hunting for in the dark and heavy blizzard.
    Once they found the entrance they started
digging it out the snow, and Weaver was confused and bewildered
again! How could they enter it, and he wondered how they managed to
survive being suffocated! Surely places bringing in air would be
blocked by deep snow! Yet he recalled seeing places that had melted
the snow with heat, which were camouflaged and unrecognizable and
looked part of the landscape, where they surely drew in air
supplies. He examined one and realized it was virtual impossible to
enter and it was taking in air.
    It was incredible that such a place could
exist in such an environment, and he spotted one of the soldiers
had found something and he sensed that it was the way in! They
thought only of
