Meeting Room, Vanguard International Complex, La Perdita
"We leave in an hour" Grimm said, when in that moment Grissom Montag voice was heard in the communicator.
"Grimm, I have got it. Satellite images from D'Goon coordinates. Take a look"
The giant screen on one of the wall of the meeting room flashed with light, and then a zenith view of an iced wasteland is seen. At the center, there is something resembling a huge ant-hill, with lines of thousands of ants coming inside and outside the nest.
"What's that?" asks Grimm.
"It's the fortress" respond the voice of Grissom, and the image began to zoom in, revealing an entire mountain made of ice mined out of the Antarctic iceshelf, by thousands, maybe hundreds thousands of robots. "The stange thing is that only the feeds from the Mandelovian satellites give this images, from the others, Russian, American and European ones, there is just ice".
Kristogar Velo stood up. "It's really like a nest of ants. Just before they swarm"
