that was true he believed that he might be able to
find something or someone with something.
    He gazed over
at the underground ice station gleaming with sunbeams and wondered
what the hell was there! The case was important and something had
to have occurred!
    He recalled
the immense size of it below the ground as he watched the others
let out their parachutes, and he copied them and was left staggered
when his entire parachute shot straight upwards, and flew away into
the distance!
    He gasped and
examined the straps and saw that they had been deliberately
cut!
    He instantly
dived towards the only person directly below him, where he could
properly reach, and realized that the speed that he was traveling
at by diving might be too fast to do anything, and that he would
have only one chance and less than a second to grab hold of the
other parachutist to save his life!
    As he shot
down he saw the plane vanish beneath the horizon and grasped the
full dangers and loneliness of the Antarctic, and again realized
the dangers!
    He made
himself move over towards the parachutist below and swiftly and
powerfully grabbed his waist, and realized he could not hold on and
swiftly grabbed a strap from him and tied it to the other soldier’s
parachute straps.
    Close to the
ground he rested and considered his chances of survival and gasped!
Someone clearly knew that he was there and had intended to kill
him!

    The Gun Battle
     
    Behind them,
below the horizon, the sunlight vanished and the early Antarctic
night engulfed the soldiers and Weaver studied his surroundings
trying to explain why they had made such a mistake! The entire
mission had been planned down the smallest detail!
    The ice
station was further away and the snow deep and terrain virtually
impossible to get quickly through! It was incredible that they had
actually not landed earlier than when the sun was going down. The
incident with his parachute had been a major incident and he knew
there was someone there against him and perhaps the mission, and he
wondered who had access to the parachutes!
    When a loud
blast exploded out and a bullet hit and killed one of the front
soldiers, beside Commander Craven, Weaver was not fully surprised,
and realized that someone was attacking them!
    It was lucky
there was cover and they rushed below two small hills as bullets
flew in hitting the snow all about them, and he realized that there
were at least six of them, and that they had made the mistake of
being too far away. The bullets were off and they had been lucky
that they had hit the soldier.
    None of them
could see who was there though, and they were hidden away at
different locations and moved around, and they were unable to
recognize anything! Were they professionals and had planned the
whole thing well before they had arrived?
    The whole
terrain was unfamiliar too them and they had the advantage over
them! How could they move forward and get to the ice station
without receiving many deaths?
    He was unsure
if they could survive there the night! They had no proper food or
cover, and the temperature was dropping dramatically and none of
them had adapted to the environment.
    He wondered if
they got lost if they could find the ice station there! The place
was very hidden away! It was lucky they had seen it from the air
and knew the direction.
    He even
wondered if it was the people from the ice station actually firing
on them! If they had not known of their arrival and the situation
there was worse than stated they could believe that they were being
attacked!
    He considered
the region and what must be one of the most desolate regions of the
world. They had not seen anyone since they had flown over the
Antarctic sea, and was sure planes even avoided flying there.
    What was
staggering was that they were taking on so many soldiers! What did
they actually intend to do? They surely could not expect to kill
the entire group of soldiers, and if they had been informed about
them they
