It was a bumpy landing and at one point the plane almost flipped over, as it was the plane would never fly again, which was a shame. The African savanna just wasn't meant to land a jet on no matter how flat it was. Oh well, the jets had both been sacrificed for the mission, as Temple had pretty much wrecked his too.

The jets had more than served their purpose in life and earned their outrageous price tags, especially if our mission was a success today. Headlights lit up the dark, as two vehicles drove toward us out over the night across the savanna.

Friend or foe?

With relief I saw it was Flint and I lowered my gun. He got out of the Range Rover and pounded me on the back hard, "Welcome to the Serengeti little bro!"

"Yeah I love what they've done with the place." It was my first time in Africa believe it or not. Some lion pride out there in the night was probably thinking what a good evening snack we would make right now.

"All right get in; it's a four hour drive from here. We should get there about two a.m." Flint said.

All four of us piled in after him and we took off across the bumpy plain hearing the night sounds of the savanna echo loudly around us.

Flint almost drove into a herd of elephants at one point. Now that would've been funny! But the four hours passed soon enough and we drove without headlights the last half-hour, as the great tower aglow with light loomed up from the African savanna ahead of us in the distance.

The tower's purpose, while tall wasn't to reach heaven, as its earlier counterpart's purpose had been. Instead it was the place where the signal of the Code was updated and then amplified outward to form the virtual tower globally that had visions of heaven in mind. It had already been completed in secrecy in this barren stretch of savanna before the EM pulse had been set off worldwide.

While the tower was not essential to the Code's continued dominance, it was still an integral part of the update system and eventually it would form the nexus of the great metropolis that was even now being constructed at the base of the tower and radiating outward from it across the savanna.

We were at the outer perimeter fence and we stopped. Getting out I kept Asia close to me, as we approach a breach in the electrified fence. All five of us slipped through and then like ghostly shadows the forms of men rose out of the African savanna all around us. Asia gasped and clutched at me in the darkness.
