<<<<<< REPLICANT

ATLANTIC TO THE MEDITERRANEAN

There was no time to lose. Charley safely onboard, John and Dan cast off, with help from Hal, making sure they were not being tracked by the drug dealers supporting the Fourth Reich. John anticipated a boarding party. But none came.

"Captain Nemo."

"Yes Captain Storm."

"Please exit the Amazon in cruise mode."

"Copy that," replied the navigation computer.

The Swann gracefully cruised the Amazon at 10 knots for almost two days, solar wings folded, until the mouth of the river expanded into the South Atlantic. Then more anxiously John said: "Nemo, can you plot a course for Alexandria, Egypt, please. Full steam ahead."

"Full power Captain. Roger that. Mediterranean here we come."

John looked at Dan, mouthing 'Roger that.' Charley caught it. They all smiled. It was Hal interjecting of course.

The Swann's wings unfolded, and Nemo engaged all of the fuel cells, heading north, until the ship caught the trade winds. Elizabeth sprinted across the Atlantic doing better than 25 knots, also taking advantage of the currents. Five days later they sighted the Gibraltar Straights, the.Pillars of Hercules

They were making good time, no doubt about it, but John knew a diving team could accomplish a lot in ten days. It would take them another 2.7 days to get to Alexandria, according to Captain Nemo.

While they were crossing the Atlantic, John, Charley and Dan tried to make more of the equipment they'd stolen from the Nazi camp.

"Okay Dan, what is this." John held up a watch and a rather complicated looking kind of headset.

"I'm stumped Skip. Give me a bit of time to work it out."

John strapped on the headset, and put the wristwatch on his arm. Charley rummaged around in the rest of the box of tricks. Dan was reading one of the thick black bound notebooks, trying to make head and tail of it all. The notes and diagrams followed the development of the technology. Dan noticed an entry that did not make sense.

"Hey Skip, that watch seems to have cost an extraordinary amount."

"Uhm huh." John looked to Dan waiting for a figure.

"$20 billion dollars."

"What this," said John holding up his arm. As he did so, the watch beeped. Then he felt a tingling sensation coming from the headset. The watch seemed to be talking to him.

"I don't think it's a watch Skip."

Charley chimed in, "There is something here about a 'RepliVator.' She kept reading.

"I think it's some kind of super computer," said Dan.

"No." Said Charley. "It is something to do with cloning and replicants."

"That's science fiction Charley," said Dan. "And I'm a Blade Runner."

"Yes," said John. "Maybe all of the above. But it is talking to me somehow."

Charley and Dan laughed, as though John had lost it.

"No, really. I think through this headset contraption." John looked serious. He had turned pale and was sweating.

........

It took nine days, nine hours for the journey from Manaus to Alexandria.

As they closed on the bustling port, grey clouds shrouded their arival, shortly displaced by vibrant sunshine piercing the cloud with orange and yellow filters illuminating their passage in true biblical fashion, like a divine spotlight showing the way.

In the ethereal realm, Anubis and Isis watched with keen interest as John Storm and his companions raced across the ocean. The sleek, hydrogen-powered ship, a marvel of human ingenuity, cut through the waves with astonishing speed.

"The humans have surpassed themselves," Anubis remarked, his voice filled with wonder. "Their technology is advancing at an incredible pace. Their technology surpasses even our wildest dreams."

Isis nodded in agreement. "Humans have come a long way and yet, their hearts remain the same. They are driven by love, by loss, and by the eternal quest for knowledge."

Anubis paused, his gaze fixed on John Storm. "He bears a striking resemblance to Mark Antony, both in appearance and in spirit, does he not. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself."

Isis chuckled. "Fear not, Anubis. John Storm is a man of noble intentions. He seeks to right wrongs and protect the innocent."

"Still, we must remain vigilant," Anubis cautioned. "The heart is a fickle thing, easily swayed by passion."

"Let us hope that he does not repeat the mistakes of the past. Love can be a powerful force, but it can also be a destructive one."

Anubis considered her words. "We must guide him, protect him from the darkness. His destiny is intertwined with Cleopatra's, and he must be strong enough to resist temptation."

Isis smiled knowingly. "The future is uncertain, Anubis. But we can guide his path, steer him towards the light."

As the ship approached the shores of Egypt, the two deities exchanged a silent vow. They would watch over John Storm, protect him from the darkness, and ensure that he fulfilled his destiny. The fate of Cleopatra, and perhaps the future of humanity, rested in his hands.

The ancient secrets of Egypt, once buried deep beneath the sands of time, were about to be unearthed. And with them, the potential for both great good and great evil.
