The OAM Virus

Admiral Marshall was informed of the rescue and that the two-hybrid warriors had been placed into secure isolation, as instrumentation had clearly shown they were highly affected by the OAM virus and that their bodies had already changed and were becoming more and more animalistic by the day.

Quietly the Admiral read the results and agreed with Davinder that this was highly likely to have been a trap and that unless under compulsion of direct orders the hybrids would have been physically unable to take the women and children to safety.

It was one of the new technicians who came up with a solution to the problem of been unable to detect the fallen. “Sir permission to approach and speak.” Alisha looked at the cyborg before her. “Granted soldier.” The cyborg opened a case and withdrew a computerised tablet. “Sir I believe I have discovered a way of detecting the fallen, I was going over some old recordings and creating a new software program to detect sound waves, especially those usually out of range of our hearing.”

Ruth, who was always near to Elisa, smiled, and she suspected where this was going to lead, she was also aware that the genetic hybrids having shifter abilities, that they already had highly evolved hearing. “I have been using older recordings as a base model and I noticed while testing my new software, that selected sounds had simply gone unobserved and ignored, so upon further investigation and ultra-fine tuning, I later discovered that a vast majority of these sounds were created by the fallen, and who appear to have an ability of one, communicating out of our hearing range and secondly of slightly shifting dimensional space and using that as a means of travel or getting nearby and undetected.”

Even Ruth was now interested and listened to the explanation and demonstration given by the new member of Alisha’s team. “If you look closely here on one of the recordings made by our security cameras, you can clearly see that the outside entrance to exit C is to all accounts free from hostile intrusion, even the sensors failed to observe any intrusion, and yet if you look closely.”

At that point the cyborg freeze framed the recording, pausing it at an exact point in its recordings and took it at a single frame at a time, suddenly a footprint appeared within the soil, yet there was no further evidence of intrusion. “Clearly, here we can all see a footprint where moments before it was not there. So I engaged my new software and detected breathing and sounds which we had been otherwise missing before.”

Ruth and Elisa looked in stunned silence, “please soldier go on,” Replied Elisa. “So I took this one stage further and applied the same principles to the latest recordings made of the escaped Christian women and children.” As the cyborg made some adjustments upon the screen it clearly showed the events as they had played out earlier with Julian and Christopher and the escaped women and children.

First, the screen showed the events as all had previously witnessed, but then the cyborg rewound the recordings to some hours earlier while it was still night, and although the cameras could not detect any hostile violations, clear sounds identical to that heard earlier were detected and then the screen was yet again paused. Two footprints momentarily appeared and then were rubbed out as evidently something of huge size had somehow just positioned itself upon that exact spot.

The cyborg used a laser pointer to highlight the exact positions should it have not been seen by his commanding officer. “This Mam combined with the new software tells us for a certainty something gigantic stood by those doors and had they have been opened then it is beyond doubt that we would have faced a violation of security.”

His words made both Elisa and Ruth shudder, “Very good soldier you did right in bringing this to my attention, please implement immediately these new adjustments and software into our security system, and train operatives in how to make such adjustments.”

Immediately the findings were sent to Admiral Marshall, and a discussion arose as to how this software could be further implemented. If the fallen were genuinely using subspace as a means of travel, it could then explain how the fallen and their technology had been avoiding detection. Now they used their equipment and had it tuned to detect the exact frequency as recorded when the giants materialised outside the facilities of Bear Mountain.

Elisa looked at Ruth and spoke. “Do not your race have the ability to travel within sub-space.” Ruth smiled, “Well yes but I believe from the observation that the fallen are using technology far more advanced and older than that of ours, also please understand and realise that these life forms were at one-time, part of a highly advanced angelic race and in service to the highest.”

Elisa grimaced, “Yes I do understand…, I just wondered if your race been so old if it had similar technology.” Ruth smiled at Elisa, “In some ways we do, as within two million plus years, my race had made many such advances, however you need to understand that the fallen are from a race of beings far older and beyond even our own understanding and that at one time they had access to technology that even now we can only dream about. To my knowledge, they were restricted access to newer technologies, but that does not mean they have not evolved in their own right and utilised what they knew to their fullest ability, as even we cannot enter and exit subspace in such precise of a manner.”

Elisa nodded her head having understood the explanation and prayed that they could overcome the sheer forces which she knew was to be used against them. “I can tell you this, we have studied your scriptures and realise that, yet even worst is to come, those entrapped outside of this facility are to face plagues, earthquakes, and even the heavens falling upon them.”

Ruth paused momentarily and then spoke some more. “I imagine that possibly it will be the destruction of many space crafts, and of a great war fought within space, your moon base will most likely be destroyed and even your sun will be targeted so solar flares destroy the magnetic field protecting your planet and that the heavens will appear as if they are falling upon the survivors.”

Elisa shuddered at the vision and then cast her mind back to the scriptures fixed firmly within her mind.

Revelation 18: (After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority and the earth was illuminated by his splendour. With a mighty voice he shouted:

“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, she has become a dwelling place for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

For all nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries.

The kings of the earth committed adultery with her. And the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.

Then I heard another voice from heaven.

Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins so that you will not receive any of her plagues, for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup.

Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself.

In her heart she boasts, I sit enthroned as a queen, I am not a widow, I will never mourn.

Therefore, in one day her plagues will overtake her, death, mourning and famine.

She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.)

Elisa then thought of Revelation 19: 11 onwards. (I saw heaven standing open and there before I was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice, he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron sceptre. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh, he has this name written.

Verse 17.

And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid-air, come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you might eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.

Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gather together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured and with it the false prophets who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs, he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.)
