mannedтАФand successfully landed it. The only thing we haven't done yet is launch
one into orbit."
Tian Dao Lin frowned. "The Americans only destroyed the mothership a month
ago."
Nosferatu smiled. "My original planтАФbefore recent eventsтАФwas eventually to
have a manned mission go to Mars. The X-Craft was the first step to a second
generation of craft built in orbit capable of reaching Mars, landing, and
getting to Aspasia and the other Airlia in deep sleep there at Cydonia." His
eyes shifted to Tian Dao Lin. "Along with a simultaneous expedition into Qian-
Ling to reach and destroy Artad and his followers. I estimated that both
missions would be possible in twenty years and we might be able to defeat the
Airlia while they slept. Recent events have caused me to adjust my plans and my
timetable, with the follow-on objective becoming the number one priority."
Tian Dao Lin chuckled. "That is why you had me pull strings to get Professor
Che Lu permission to enter Qian-Ling when it had been forbidden for so long. I
knew you had something long-range in mind."
"I have been planning for thousands of years," Nosferatu said. "But the
technology was never sufficient. However, in the past fifty years or so human
technology has advanced greatly. And the fortuitous events of the past year now
allow us unprecedented opportunity with much less risk much sooner than I had
anticipated."
"The Airlia who died on the Talons inside the mother-ship's cargo bay would
have bled out into space," Adrik argued.

"Most of their blood, yes," Nosferatu agreed. "However, I have had simulations
and experiments done and they indicate there would be some residual blood left
in the bodies. Not much, but if enough bodies were harvested, there would be a
sufficient supply to make it worth gathering, especially as it would be pure."
"Even if we recover all this blood, pure and mixed," Adrik asked, "how will
we be able to extract the Airlia virus, then purify our blood with it? How will
we get rid of the human portion of our blood? And the human portion in the Ones
Who Wait and the blood gathered by the SS and KGB?"
"The Americans have done us a favor in that regard," Nosferatu said. "They
were delving into this very problem at the secret Majestic-12 lab in Dulce, New
Mexico, where the former Nazi, General Hemstadt, was working after the war under
the auspices of Operation Paperclip. One of his projects was perfecting a blood-
purifying device, most likely on orders from Aspasia's Shadow and the Mission
and under the cover of AIDS research.
"This machine removes all of a person's blood and replaces it with a freezing
solution that cleanses the circulatory system completely. While this is
happening, the body is chilled to keep it viable. Then the machine injects the
new, already warmed blood and the body is brought back to normal temperature.
The entire process lasts only about three minutes. The subject's blood is
replaced one hundred percent."
"Dulce was destroyed," Adrik noted.
"Recovery of the device will be my task," Nosferatu said flatly.
"And if we agree to help you and recover all this Airlia blood virus?" Adrik
asked. "What do we do with it?"
