    About this ebook

    In 1912, during the excavations for the new additions to the famous castle-like Empress Hotel, a brilliant flash of light and a thunderous splash was heard for miles around, as an unidentified object came exploding down from the night sky, into the water of Victoria's Inner Harbor. Government authorities were quick to respond and descended in force upon the phenomenon, before too many public, prying eyes could view it. With strict police and military precision, they dredged the object up from the water, and moved it surreptitiously, under the cover of tarps and darkness, to the hotel nearby.

      Entry One

      Alien Trenches

      In 1912, during the excavations for the new additions to the famous castle-like Empress Hotel, a brilliant flash of light and a thunderous splash was heard for miles around, as an unidentified object came exploding down from the night sky, into the water of Victoria's Inner Harbor. Government authorities were quick to respond and descended in force upon the phenomenon, before too many public, prying eyes could view it. With strict police and military precision, they dredged the object up from the water, and moved it surreptitiously, under the cover of tarps and darkness, to the hotel nearby.

      The excavation plans changed drastically and came to a full stop in order to accommodate the mysterious crashed object. It lay there for a year, hidden from public view, in a secret underground installation, where only top government officials had knowledge of its existence, and access to the location.

      Plans for new accommodations were being made to house the object, and in 1913, under the auspices of building an additional wing to the Parliament Buildings, a grand, multi-leveled underground gallery of deep bunker encasement's were built under the newly structured wing.

      It was during the same period, that the first secret tunnels were constructed to enable the object to be furtively moved to its new home. After the completed transfer and installation, a team of scientists were secreted in, and a rush began to try and figure out what it
