Saturday, June 9, 2007 (Continued)
At 9:30pm I put on some dark clothes, my crash helmet and my dark sheet, and hit the skies. My families and I had agreed that I had to be very cautious about being detected because if the Governments agencies or armed forces were going to do anything, our reappearing at midnight would be the perfect opportunity to grab us, or whatever it was they had planned. If they were crazy enough to piss off something as seemingly powerful as the angel, there might be a great deal of Government power focused on our home, and we didn't want it all focused on me when they spotted me flying around. Cautious reconnaissance was definitely advised
My first reconnaissance was at a VERY high altitude, looking for things like squadrons of B-52s, UAVs, or anything else unwelcome. I couldn't tell my exact height without my watch, but it was something like sixty thousand feet, roughly the ceiling of most modern aircraft. I crisscrossed over our home for many miles in all directions. I saw nothing untoward, and continued to see more of the same while I progressively decreased my altitude while making more passes over the area. I hadn't expected to see anything up here, but it was worth checking just in case the Air Force was REALLY angry.
Once I was low enough, I could see that Corvallis still had too many people in it, as there were RVs, tents and cars in many locations in and around town, but not near our home thanks to the half-mile police and army cordon that was still being maintained around it. I guessed that the number of religious pilgrims had maybe halved from its peak. Corvallis had faded in importance since the Guardian Angel had started attacking air bases three nights ago. My families and I had left town, so hopefully a lot of the Idiots had too. I smiled over the cordon's still being in place pissing off the Galloping Ninnies again in a few hours.
I was happy to see that there weren't any strange transmission coming out of my home, or anything else wrong that I could see, which wasn't much as I was still several thousand feet up. The Government passed the first test.
It didn't pass the second test though: several people were behaving strangely around our gates. Achieving two sensible behaviors in a row was beyond the Government's ability.
I continued to descend cautiously, searching widely for anything, and especially for infrared sensors being used to spot me. I'd spot humans using them easily enough, by the humans' heat, but standalone instruments were a worry, especially because they could be mounted on the nearby hills and other distant locations. It would be very bad to have my presence reported to the baddies' boss, who could order some of his men to equip themselves with rifles and night-vision goggles - they could easily have both handy - jump out of a room then open up at me. I had arranged the large sheet in a tube around me so it would do a great job of obscuring my infrared emissions, but it'd do a very poor job of protecting me from incoming bullets, so I was very cautious and thorough in checking a very wide area around home. Fortunately not finding anything worrisome.
During that slowly descending search, I repeatedly passed over our gates for looks at the activity there. There was a small group of guys doing some work on both pillars of the gate, with a cordon of guards in a wide half-circle on the public side of the gate, presumably to stop any member of the public getting close enough to see what was happening. I saw them do something in the grating between the gates, the one from which very strong spikes can pop up to block access by impaling incoming vehicles. They had also drilled a wide hole down from the top of both gateposts, the holes close to the inside edge of the posts. Into the holes they'd inserted long poles which seemed to contain many repeats of some sort of sensor aimed inward at the gateway. I was reminded of the security systems a lot of stores have to stop people shoplifting, or the metal detectors at airports. If they were hoping to detect metal, they weren't going to pick up our SUV because that was going to come in over the wall because we wanted to be unpredictable. The gate itself totaled a substantial amount of metal and it was mounted on the inside faces of the posts only a few inches away from the sensors, so I doubted the sensor array was for detecting metal.
When I was quite low, I could see that near the base of one of the posts, on the street side of it, they'd dug a small hole in the grass and there was already a box of electronics in it. There was a cable running in a tiny channel from the box into a hole drilled into the underground base of the nearest post, where the cable plugged into the sensor-pole. There was no such box for the other post, but I assumed that was because the two posts were connected together by the cable that ran between them under the grating and spikes.
A few minutes later the work halted. A guy got a small metal box out of the trunk of his nearby car and carried it through the gate, paused, then walked back in again. Apparently a successful test, because the workers immediately started hiding evidence of their activities - filling in the holes in the ground, putting the sods of grass back, cementing over the tops of our gateposts and sweeping up the cement fragments from the drilling.
A few more tests were done during the tidy up, all apparently successful, then the box of what I guessed to be radioactive material was returned to the trunk. The bombs had already been recovered so I didn't understand what the sensors were for. Did they think the angel would be radioactive? That'd be a good trick for something that didn't have body. And why on Earth would the angel need to use a gate when it could pass through or over the wall just as easily? Also, if they were going to install such a device, why not do it days ago? Those questions were enough to make me think the device wasn't for detecting radiation but for some other more nefarious purpose, but that didn't make much sense either because of their using the box to test it.
