Chapter Thirty-Two — Ingress

Some of the metal came up with his pull — other pieces fell, careening around as they disappeared into the darkness. We all paused to watch the pieces of metal fall, the thunk that followed coming about eight seconds later. “That uh…” Brent drew off, straightening. “That means it's pretty deep, right?”

“That is the most conspicuous thing I have ever seen in my life.” Dad deadpanned, hands in his jean pockets. 

Zeke was standing proudly in front of one of those big utility vans that had been painted an earthy green, black racing stripes along its sides. The back doors had a mural of a wooded landscape with a satyr chasing two rather scantily clad women, and the headlights in the front were replaced with some sort of RGB lights that spun in circles. Brent looked over at me in disbelief at the absurdity of the car as I just sighed, closing my eyes. This was definitely not going to help Zeke’s standing with Dad. 

“Hey, it drives,” Zeke shrugged. “And sometimes the weirdest things work as a red herring, you know? Keeps people from really looking close at the situation. Well,” he said, opening up the back doors to expose the gutted out interior, “Hop in.” 

So there I was on the rubbery flooring of the back of the van, tucked in between Dad and Brent as Dr. Sims rode shotgun in Zeke’s monstrosity of a vehicle. “I’ve got, like, an inflatable bed and stuff,” Zeke called back, “This was my car when I was ‘nomadic,’ so to say. But otherwise it’s…yeah, sorry about the discomfort.”

As if on cue he hit a bump on the badly maintained road, sending my tailbone into the hump that covered the curve of the wheel and making me curse under my breath. 

“Looks like we have three plantations to search,” Dr. Sims says, scrolling on his phone. “Cypress Grove, Bellefontaine, and Magnolia Ridge Estates,” Dr. Sims looks back. “There’s five of us. We could split up, explore each one on our own—”

“No.” Dad says. “My kids aren’t leaving my side.”

“Should we split up?” Brent asked, cocking an eyebrow. “Seems like a bad move when exploring abandoned places. That’s like the first thing not to do if you wanna survive a horror movie.”

“We have to be mindful of the time,” Dr. Sims said, looking out the window. Traveling out of the swamps by boat and walking to the garage holding this…thing cut a good three hours into our adventure, and the sun was already past its midpoint in the sky. “We have about four hours before sunset and being out in New Marais at night is less ideal than exploring alone.”

“But that should be enough to find this entrance, right?” I asked over the rattling of the van. “We shouldn’t have to split up for it if we’re thorough, and staying together would mean we could go through each plantation faster.” 

Dad sighed. “She’s got a point.”

Zeke nodded, abruptly turning the steering wheel and sending me into Dad’s side. “Alright, then we go together. We’ll start from the farthest one and work our way back towards the swamps.”

The first plantation was close to the water and definitely didn’t have a carriage house — in fact, it didn’t have much of anything; so much of it had eroded over the years and what was left was something we definitely couldn’t explore without risking having the entire place come down on us. We searched the outside nonetheless, coming up short to no one’s surprise. 

We packed up into the van to move to the next plantation, where dad nearly screamed a slew of curse words the moment we got close. Whatever Bellefontaine plantation that used to stand here was now home to a parking lot and a restaurant called the Angry Oyster, the pier dining full of patrons with it being dinner time. The little animated oyster shined over a sign that said Well Shuck Me!, a phrase Dad repeated once with the sh— becoming a f—. 

“What do we do?” He demanded, looking at Dr. Sims. “What if they paved over the entrance?” 

Dr. Sims turned in his seat as Zeke parked the car, motioning for his computer bag, which Dad passed over. “Let me see what I can find out,” he says, pulling out the mini laptop. “There’s gotta be some land ownership records or a property transaction or something.”

We spent nearly an hour there as Dr. Sims struggled to find the records he was looking for before eventually disconnecting from the restaurant’s wifi, declaring, “This place didn’t belong to Bertrand,”

“So it’s probably not the First Sons’ base?” Dad asked from the back. I was braiding my hair beside him and Brent was snoring lightly on his other side, both of us bored with the stagnation. 

“Probably not, but we’ll come back if we need to. We should check out this last place before the sun sets.” Dr. Sims decided, closing the computer and shoving it back in his bag. 

Zeke drove a bit more into town to get to the third plantation, passing the cathedral on the way. The floodlights illuminated Cole’s statue, casting shadows on his face that made him seem more menacing, more heroic than he did in the daytime. 

Yet I couldn’t get the sound of his quiet sobs out of my head. 

Zeke drove around to the back of the cathedral and then turned onto a side street, the veranda of a large and well-kept plantation cresting into view as we drove forward. It was huge, pristine white trimming that shone even in the setting sun. There were people milling about on the front lawn in dresses and suits, champagne glasses in hand as a flash on the left caught my eye, making me look in time to see a cameraman reposing a wedding party for their next picture. 

“Shit,” Dad hissed, moving to sit in the space between the passenger and driver's seats. Brent was still leaning on him for support while napping and nearly fell into me, yelping awake. 

“W–what’s going on?” he muttered, looking around with glossed eyes. 

Zeke took a right, driving slowly in front of the estate. The reception of the wedding was in full swing; there was a DJ in his own booth, stark white tables with bouquets and used plates on them, and a separate garage dedicated solely to being a bar, two tenders at the counter built into its entrance.  

“That’s the carriage house,” Dr. Sims realized, looking at the bar. “It has to be,” 

“That doesn’t look like much of a carriage house,” Brent remarked groggily. 

“Carriage house is just another fancy word for separate garage,” Dad hummed. “This is the only one we’ve seen so far. If it’s not under that restaurant? This is it.” 

Zeke pulled into an alleyway and parks the truck, turning in his seat to look at all of us. “Well, what should we do?” He asked. “We can always come back later—”

“We need answers now,” Dad strained, “The sooner the better.”

“Dad, there’s a wedding,” I stressed, “We can’t just crash it.”

Brent shrugs. “Well, we wouldn’t be crashing the wedding. Just breaking into the bar,”

“Just?” 

Dr. Sims sighed. “We could use the information. Knowing now would let us move forward with a plan tomorrow,”

Zeke nodded, more to himself than to anyone else, eyes traveling to the floorboard as he trilled his lips in thought. “We need to draw those guys outta the carriage house,” he said, face growing more thoughtful. “Make some sort of distraction.”

“We’d need one to get them out of the bar, and another to keep them away for long enough,” Dad sighs. “Dunno how we’d do that,”

Zeke’s thoughtfulness gained a smile, and he sorta chuffed to himself. “Oh, I’ve got some ideas.”

“What do you mean you can’t?” I whispered incredulously to Brent. 

He was glaring at me as we crouched behind a manicured shrub, trying our best to hide in the shadows the setting sun was casting. Dad was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Dr. Sims or Zeke. They were all getting in position for this horrible plan we cooked up in about fifteen minutes. 

“I mean I can’t, that’s not how Conduits work,” he scoffed like I was an idiot. “I can only play with the steel I put out,”

I blinked. “Wh–, that’s not how Conduits work. You should be able to do anything with steel.”

“What, and you can control any water source? C’mon Jean, this isn’t Korra,”

I glared at him before sticking a hand out and pointing it towards the water fountain just beyond our shrub, etching a gap in the trickling waterfall from its scalloped tier to form a middle finger. 

Brent balked. “What? How did you do that?” he demanded. 

“Oh, sorry, it’s a water tribe secret,”

“You know what—”

There was a sudden alarm from the giant mansion, catching the attention of everyone on the grounds of the plantation. Dad, that had to be Dad. All the attendees of the wedding awkwardly glanced at each other, confused at what was going on until someone came out of the mansion itself shouting something about a fire alarm. 

I felt pretty bad. I mean, we were crashing someone’s wedding. That’s not an experience you’re supposed to get more than once — or at least, you’re supposed to aim for it to be a one time thing. So they’d get no do-over, and the memories of their big day would be this. An evacuation to the far side of the property, near the entryway gate. But it was a necessary evil. 

Not necessary enough, apparently; the barkeeps didn’t move. They shifted around awkwardly but made no move to leave the little building. 

“Son of a bitch,” Brent growled. 

My jaw clenched. Dad said if his smoke setting off the alarms didn’t do anything, it would be our turn to try something, with Zeke and Dr. Sims as our hail marys. “We’ve gotta figure out what to do,” I muttered. That’s what we were talking about before our argument; how exactly to draw the two barkeeps away from the bar. 

Brent’s eyes narrowed as he looks around. “Y’think you can control alcohol?” he asks. “It’s liquid.”

“It’s liquid but not water,” I whisper. 

“I mean, it has some water in it, right—”

“Would you shut up?”

Brent glowered, glaring at me for a moment before looking around. “So you can just control any sorta water?” He asks. 

“I mean, yeah, sorta,” I shrug. “It can be—”

“Can you control the water in the tap?” Brent interrupted me. “Flood the bar?” 

My sentence died off in my throat when I processed his question. I mean…could I? I could sense the water around us, feel the gators lurking at the edge of the waters and the pulse of the water’s ebbs. The sink, though, was something entirely different. My vision shattered into normal and whatever I could use to sense the element, the sparkling crystal blue in my vision snitching on where it all was. And there was barely anything in the sink. “There’s not much,” I muttered, looking at him.

Brent cursed under his breath. “Okay, okay, uh,” he muttered to himself, looking around. His eyes zeroed in on something, and he pointed to it. “What’s that?”

I looked at the white box he was pointing to near the edge of the property and was about to ask him how the hell should I know when my vision pushed deeper, through the plastic and metal to the plethora of water below. It pulsed from the machine like a heartbeat, in cadence with the scream of the fire alarm. “I think…” I drew off. “I think it’s a well. I can see water going from it into the house right now.”

Brent’s eyebrows knit close together as he tried to come up with a plan, looking around. The light from a lamp post caught in his eyes, and I watched them dip from seafoam to pure silver before flashing back to his normal color. “The well is steel,” he said, absolutely sure of the fact. “I’m gonna go fuck with the pressure gauge, turn it as high as it can go. If you can somehow send water to that tap, then good. If not, try to make the pipes burst,”

“Wh–, burst?” I whispered, incredulous. 

No use, though; Brent was already gone, content with his idea of vandalism and destroying property. 

The fire alarms died off, and there was a reassuring call to the wedding attendees from someone in the same outfit as the barkeeps that prompted them to begin walking back to the center of the property. Shit. There goes plan A. 

There was a line of men that went for the bar, keeping the tenders busy for a moment. Off on the side, Brent was messing with the well, and after a few moments, there was a shriek by the DJ followed by more shouting. “Gator, gator!” Someone yelled in alarm as the crowd scurried. Someone tripped in the stampede and went sprawling into the dessert table, the 3 tiered wedding cake on it slowly teetering. 

I’ll give it to the groom — he tried to catch it. Tried being the keyword. The second tier on the cake slipped to the side, staining his black suit jacket as the top tier slammed into his face, his head snapping back with the force. 

The shouts from this happening was enough to cover up the sound of Brent pushing the pressure gauge to its highest setting, the bar snapping under his strong grip. I watched the flow of water spike like blood pressure, flowing off to the house and near every tap in a bull rush. 

At the bar, a group of jazzed up men watched the groom take a facefull of cake much to the bride’s wailing, reaching over the bar to demand something while throwing glances over their shoulders at the commotion. 

One of the barkeepers grabbed a rag from under the bar, and briskly walked over to the sink.

And the moment he turned it on, I stuck my hand out and let the pressure loose, the forceful spray of water that came out shooting out making the bartender stumble back as it hit him square in the chest, making him yelp. 

There were some more screams, and I heard someone specifically yell “What the fuck is going on?” while the two bartenders tried their best to turn off the sink. But Brent’s idea worked; with enough pressure behind the blast, turning the knobs to turn the water on and off only changed their temperature, the steady spray of water combined with my influence enough to break the sink entirely. Brent rushed close to me as one of the bartenders dove under the visibility of the countertop. 

“What’s going on?” Brent whispered, looking between my outstretched hand and the chaos behind us at the dessert table. 

I shrugged. “Something about an alligator?” I said back, unsure. “Groom lost the fight against vanilla, though,”

My power over the flooding suddenly stopped as the barkeeper turned off the water valve on the sink, pausing the assault in its wake. I lowered my hand and cursed, about to tell Brent the bad news when I saw the one super soaked bartender stomp off, out of a back door and towards the mansion while the other handed a wet rag to the wedding attendees, who all rushed towards the cake covered groom. The poor barkeeper left behind looked down at his feet, shaking his head, before following his coworker out of the backdoor, coming around to the front to begin pulling down the garage doors, locking them closed with a key. 

They were leaving the bar alone. We managed to clear the area. 

Brent and I looked at each other triumphantly, leaving the sobbing and exclamations behind us to do an awkward crouched jog towards the carriage house. “Back, go around back,” Brent whispered, leading the way. 

The wedding party was shouting now, all staring in one specific spot as Brent and I rounded the corner of the carriage house. Brent yelped, jumping back into me and making me stumble and nearly fall before a firm hand gripped my arm and yanked me back up, steadying me on my feet. “You two okay?” Dad asked, looking between us. 

“Scared the shit outta me,” Brent breathed, hands on his knees. 

“Brent—”

“Yeah yeah, don’t curse, I know,” Brent muttered, waving Dad off as he tried to steady his racing heart. 

The shouting got louder, began to get closer, and I peeked around the corner with Dad, concerned — there was no way they knew we were here, right?

No; they were chasing what had to be a 5 foot gator around, trying to shoo the giant lizard away from the center of the wedding reception. The scaly creature scurried at a pace that scared me, ducking behind the same manicured bush Brent and I were hiding behind moments ago — before dissipating into a cloud of pixels. Blue light dissipated into the shine of the lantern light moments before an angry older man practically drifted around the bush with a raised white wooden chair intent on bopping the creature and stumbling over his steps when he realized it was just gone. 

“Brent,” Dad said, stepping back from the corner to look at him. “Can you use your powers to uh, lockpick the door or something?”

Brent shrugged, face doing that grimace most people do when they’re unsure of something like a test answer or where someone’s keys are. But he dropped to his knees, sticking the end of his finger against the deadbolt of the door as his arm dipped silver. 

A few minutes later, there was a hard huffing sound behind us as Zeke climbed the small hill, the ends of his pants legs wet as he threw his — or, Cole’s — sling bag back on. “Got your message,” he said to Dad. “What’re we waiting on?” 

“Fuck this,” Brent growled angrily, his third attempt at picking the lock just as much a failure at the first two. He stood straight and threw a punch, splintering the thick wood door and pushing the lock through its form onto the other side, where it landed with a moist thud.

“You…realize that the lock was steel, right?” I ask him. “You could have drained it and weakened it.”

“Yeah, well, it was pissing me off,” Brent snipped, shoving his hand through the gaping hole to unlock the knob. Dad just stood off on the side, pinching the bridge of his nose. 

Brent threw open the door and Dad waived for us all to go in, closing it as well as he could behind us with its broken handle. “Eugene’s gonna keep watch,” Dad said, looking around. “We just have to find this…”

He trailed off, and I think we all realized what he did at the same time; we had no idea what we were looking for. This wasn’t exactly ‘hidden entrance’ friendly; the shelves in the back were stacked with alcohol, freezers lining the floor. The bar had cleaning materials and rags and a bunch of little fancy shakers and stuff in the alcoves under it, and there was a wine cooler the size of a fridge. 

And other than the bit of water damage I gave the area, that was it. There was nothing else. 

“Do you remember how Cole got underground?” Dad spun in place to ask Zeke. 

Zeke shook his head. “No, I–I wasn’t there,” he said, looking around. “I barely remember what happened that day,”

Dad cursed, kicking at the water at his feet. Brent looked around, saying, “It’s an underground entrance. Just keep looking down, we’ll find it eventually,”

Brent could be so snippy when stressed, it honestly pissed me off. He was lucky he wasn’t in smacking range. 

We looked. And looked. Dad opened the broken door and had me push all the water out of the room and to the grass, Brent putting up a wall of steel against it once it was closed again in case anyone returned. We searched every shelf, moved every bottle in case one was a false switch for some magical trapdoor or something. There was nothing behind the wine cooler or under the bar counter. 

Dad eventually stopped, straightening with a groan and pressing the palms of his hands into his eyes. “Fuck,” he hissed, “We’re screwed, aren’t we?”

Zeke sighed, hands on his knees as he looked under the bartop again. “Gotta say, it ain’t looking too bright.”

Dad sighed hard, the end of the sound becoming a groan before he moved his hands and blinked hard a few times, eyes meeting mine. He looked dejected and on the verge of calling off the search and declaring it was time to leave when Brent said, “Dad, step back,”

Brent was looking at the ground where Dad stood; the concrete had dried up for the most part, but instead of a stain of wet, there was a jagged line of white at Dad’s feet that moved in an awkward and wide shape, like someone ran the long side of a chalk stick around this section. Brent bent down to run his hand along the white, straightening and rubbing it between his fingers. “Son of a bitch,” he muttered, looking up at Dad before he could chastise him and pointing to the bit of floor that had the white grit lining it. “It’s here. The entrance is here,”

“What?” I asked as Dad gave Brent a look of disbelief, “How do you know?”

Brent pointed at the white. “This is calcium carbonate,” he began. “When new concrete gets wet, it does this thing where when the water rises, it takes the free calcium in it and pushes it to the surface. Efforflescence or something.” He then looked down and grimaced. “That also means they probably haven’t been mopping this place at all, which is disgusting.”

Leave it to Brent to know something about architecture. “So it means this is new?” Dad asked. 

Brent shrugged. “New enough. It can take like fifteen years for all the calcium to come out.”

“This place became a wedding venue tenish years ago,” Zeke chimed in. “There was a whole ceremony and everything. I only went for the finger sandwiches and the corporate babes, though,”

Brent shot me a bewildered look as I did everything in my power to not snort at the image of this portly and graying man prowling for women with a handful of mini-sandwiches. 

Dad dropped to his knees, hands gliding against the concrete like he would be able to find a gap he could peel apart. “They sealed it,” he realized. 

“How do we get down there?” I asked, looking between everyone. “If it’s paved over, there’s no way we can enter the base.”

Dad’s brow furrowed as he looked down at the smooth ground before saying, “Brent, steel up and punch this until it breaks,” pointing to a section of floor. 

Brent looked at the top of Dad’s head like he was insane but listened, skin going from tanned to silver in the blink of an eye before he balled up his fists and dropped, pounding them into the ground. He punched one, two, three more times before something gave away and there was a tiny divot in the ground, shattered concrete bursting away from it. 

That was all Dad needed; his hand came out and drained from the pebbles, taking on concrete as his power. He waved Brent off and let his own arms become encased in the man-made rock, pounding away at the ground to break it further with deafening crunches that made me press my hands to my ears. 

Dad chipped away at the concrete, punching and digging like a dog with both a bone to pick and a bone to bury. He absorbed more and more of the concrete as he made the hole, this three foot wide gap that he tried widening more and more with every hit down. 

And then, slowly, as Dad kept up the attack, something began to peek out from under the concrete; a steel grating, the only thing separating the floor from some long and very deep chasm below it. “Well that's not structurally sound,” Brent muttered beside me as Dad began to tear away at some of the concrete, yanking it up out of its spot.

I didn't really care. All I knew was that under that grating was nothing more than a glorified elevator that would take us down to what could potentially be answers about what was wrong with me.

There was just one big, glaring issue. “How the hell are we supposed to get down there if the elevator ain't got electricity?” Zeke asked when Dad stopped to catch his breath.

Dad pursed his lips, looking down at the tight, thick grate that sat under the bar. “I'm not sure,” he muttered, displeased. “But we're getting down there, no matter what.”

Dad continued to beat away at the concrete for a few minutes longer until there was a gap about four feet wide, enough for one person to stand on comfortably — if we could get the elevator to move. That was our next big issue. Dad sat back on his feet, glaring down at the next obstacle as his mind seemed to move at a mile a minute, trying to come up with a plan. “Brent,” he eventually said. “How much control do you have over your steel?”

“I was telling Jean this earlier,” he began, “I can't just control any steel—”

“Not all steel, just yours.” Dad corrects, looking up to where we stood. “If we can destroy this, you can make a new floor to fit the shaft and glide us down.”

Brent bit his lip. “I...I might be able to do that?” he ventured, unsure.

Another good forty-five minutes blew past while Dad excavated a wider perimeter around the old elevator shaft, trying to make enough room for Brent to come in with a steeled body and begin pulling against the metal, draining it as he did so until the grating began to crack under his palms and he yanked it.

Some of the metal came up with his pull — other pieces fell down the shaft, careening around as they disappeared into the darkness. We all paused to watch the pieces of metal fall, the thunk that followed coming about eight seconds later.

“That uh…” Brent drew off, straightening. “That means it's pretty deep, right?”

Dad sighed. “Let's just get this new platform built and…hopefully it'll work.”

“Hopefully we won't fall to our deaths,” Zeke corrected.

Dad gave him an exasperated look, but didn't say anything.

Hour two came and went by the time Brent straightened, having spent a good quarter of it hanging halfway into the hole. “I think I got it,” he said, looking at Dad. “It fits the grooves and stuff on the old shaft,”

His hands stayed out, rigid and tensed as they stayed pointing towards the solid steel flooring. He was still using his power over the floor to keep it in place. What had Dr. Sims called it? Conduvergence? Whatever it was, it seemed Brent had to keep his hold on the steel he produced if we didn't want to drop into the darkness.

Dad crawled into the hole first, Brent leaving a big enough gap for him to be able to move around while crouched. He inspected the platform, made sure it was fit securely to the old build of the original shaft's flooring before looking up at the gap, saying, “Jeanie, c'mon, your turn,”

I looked at him like he had lost it, my silent plea to not have to go on Brent's Tower of Terror ignored with a quick motion of his hands as he beckoned for me to hurry it up.

The shaft groaned slightly as I stepped down on it — and Brent did too, readjusting his feet on the ground as the muscles in his arm flexed. He must have been feeling every pound we were adding to this thing, which did absolutely nothing for my fear of falling to my death. Dad grabbed my shoulders, moving me out of the way of the gap as he called up, “Think you're okay to hold Zeke too?” to Brent.

“Yeah,” Brent huffed. “Yeah, I'll just — I'll fly after you guys when you get down there,”

Another moment and Zeke was coming down into the hole, the platform jerking under his feet and making me yelp as my soul left my body. “Hey, hey, you're okay,” Dad said behind me. His grip on my shoulders tightened though, knuckles going stark white, and it did nothing to reassure me.

“Sorry,” Brent groaned above.

Zeke settled in place and Dad looked up at Brent and nodded. “Take it as slow as you can,” he instructed.

Brent nodded, the steel of his arms flaring and becoming aural as the platform began to slowly move down.

I stayed holding on to Dad for dear life as the platform rattled against the old shaft, feeling like it would give way and send us spiraling down. I knew, theoretically, all I'd have to do was use my powers to protect myself and it would be fine — but that didn't make the ride down any more comfortable. I wasn't exactly scared of heights, but I didn't like the idea of falling into a dark hole.

That was another issue — how dark it was. The lower we got and the further away from the hole we went, the harder it was to see...well, anything. Holding on to Dad became less about fear and more about just keeping a hand on him to know he was still there. One of his arms left my shoulders and a moment later there was a bright light, His phone's flashlight on and the light bouncing around the silver walls. A second later, Zeke clicked on a small one as well, shining the light around.

“Hey, look,” Zeke said, prompting us to turn. There was an archway opening beside him, the entrance to the underground tunnels growing longer and longer until the steel platform hit the floor, making us all stumble.

“You guys okay?” Brent called from above, the grinding sound echoing up the chasm.

“Yeah, yeah. Come down here,” Dad called back up, shining his phone’s flashlight towards the small pothole sized sun way up high. “Jean, take out your phone, use its flashlight,” he commanded me as he lit the way for Brent to come down.

The edges of Brent's wings scraped against the walls as he flew down, the horribly shrill sound making us all cringe until he shed the wings and landed hard on his feet. “Jeez, it's dark,” he muttered, searching for his own phone to use his flashlight. ”No good reception, either,“

I looked at my phone; one singular bar, and everyone knew that was hardly a step up from no service. Honestly it would have been better to not have any service, that way it wouldn't feel like the phone was lying to you when its messages wouldn't go through. “I should have messaged Eugene,” Dad cursed, realizing he missed the chance. His flashlight went from shining up at the opening of the shaft to down the long hallway, pristine white walls almost untouched after all this time and shining the light back tenfold. “Alright. Stay behind me, you guys,”

The hall was so clean and bleached that our phones' flashlights bounced around again and again until our little group was encased in a warm glow. The walls didn't look painted but they definitely weren't metal, the texture smooth and glossed as I let my hand glide over it.

“Weird,” Brent muttered, pointing his phone's flashlight up at the ceiling to expose a long row of rounded, defunct in-ceiling lights.

“What did that guy say these were used for?” Dad asked, not turning around. “The Underground Railroad, right?”

“This looks way too nice to be some dug up tunnels for that,” I muttered, pulling my hand away and tucking my hoodie's sleeve over my cast.

Zeke huffed, “Well, you gotta remember, we're talking about the First Sons here. They weren't gonna be caught in some dingy little cave system,”

Dad put out a hand, silently signaling us to stop as his light caught the glint of a piece of metal up ahead. “Stay back,” he warned us, stepping forward.

One hand stayed holding his phone while the other lit up a light amber, the rough scrape of him activating his concrete power echoing down the hall. He crept up to the exit poised like a large cat ready to jump on prey, and nearly did exactly that as he stepped out of the hall into the room.

His ignited arm immediately fell, and his shoulders seemed to sag a bit. “Well, this complicates things,” he said, before turning and beckoning us forward.

I was expecting a single large room, maybe some sort of observation deck like those old viewing galleries for operating rooms. Not this. Not two stories of something straight out of Star Trek.

Every wall was a sculpted slope, pier-like patios poking out and away from stairwells to overlook the giant futuristic atrium. There was a tube in the center of the room that led to a defunct and dried up pool in the center, each patio wrapping around the tubing like it was the center of a roundabout. Everything was pristine white or accented in the lightest blue in this courtyard, the wide open space dimpling in some spots to curve in, creating lateral archways for other hallways. There were a few emergency lights that barely illuminated rounded doors, leaving the rest of the room in an eerie dusk that our lights had to fight through to illuminate. “Well,” Zeke huffed, looking around. The ceiling was so high our lights couldn't even reach it. “This is gonna take a bit longer than an hour of lookin', huh?”

Diamonds point to existence of ancient rocks from the birth of the Earth - Science News

While the majority of of us judge diamonds by their look, it’s what’s inside these sparklers that you can’t see that makes them so important to science.

BOTTOM LINES CUT AND PASTE

Bottom line

Researchers have actually long presumed there’s a tank of prehistoric rock someplace in the Earth’s mantle

A research study utilizing very deep diamonds has actually offered the very first direct proof

Diamonds provide us a method to look straight at what’s taking place in the deep Earth, hundreds of kilometres underneath our feet

Tiny bubbles of helium caught within the stones have actually offered the very first direct proof of a tank of prehistoric rock deep listed below our feet that has actually stayed fairly undisturbed given that our world formed approximately 4.5 billion years back.

Which finding, released in the journal Science today, might lead us to a higher understanding of how the Earth works, and how it’s developed in time.

“For scientists, diamonds are not just the shiny jewels that they are for the rest of the people,” stated geochemist Suzette Timmerman, who performed the research study as part of her PhD at the Australian National University.

“For us, they’re the direct window into the deep Earth.”

Deciphering a secret

Today the Earth is made up of an inner strong core, a liquid external core, the mantle and crust.

Today the Earth is made up of an inner strong core, a liquid external core, the mantle and crust.

Getty Images: DEA / D’Arco Editori

The Earth is generally divided into 4 primary layers: the inner strong core of the world, the liquid external core, the mantle and the crust.

The mantle, which is the thickest layer at roughly 2,900 kilometres, is divided into an upper layer, where tectonic motion occurs, and a lower layer.

It’s long been believed there’s a tank of prehistoric rock as old as the Moon, and possibly as old as the Earth, sitting someplace in the mantle.

Researchers initially presumed this prehistoric tank may exist in the 1980s when they found some basalt lavas had an uncommon chemical signature.

Basalts gushed out of island volcanoes such as those discovered on Hawaii or Iceland had a really high helium 3 to helium 4 isotope ratio.

Uncommon chemical signatures have actually been discovered in basalt lavas in locations like Hawaii.

Uncommon chemical signatures have actually been discovered in basalt lavas in locations like Hawaii.

However this pattern was not seen in basalt that appeared from mid ocean ridges as the seafloor spreads out apart.

“Individuals have actually not understood where these [unusual] basalts come from,” stated geologist Stephen Foley of Macquarie University who was not associated with the research study.

“There have been helium isotope difference between ocean islands and between mid-ocean ridges, and really we don’t know why.”

This is substantial since the quantity of various helium isotopes present informs you where the helium came from.

“Helium 3 is there from the beginning of the Earth, you can’t form it again,” Teacher Foley stated.

While helium 3 can just come from a primitive source, helium 4 can form from radioactive decay of other aspects, for instance uranium and thorium.

However while the helium signatures pointed towards the existence of a primitive tank, they might not show it in fact existed.

That’s because as lavas make their method through the mantle to type basalt lavas at the surface area, their structure can alter as they communicate with the surrounding product.

There was even discuss as to whether such a tank might have endured at all, especially provided the disorderly early history of our world.

“When the Earth formed it was really, really hot, so we wouldn’t have had a crust or an ocean like we know it today,” Dr Timmerman stated.

“In addition, we had a lot of meteorite impacts, and we had this big impact when the Moon formed, part of the Earth was just basically smashed away.”

To split the secret of the prehistoric tank, researchers required to research study something else: diamonds.

Go into very deep diamonds

Product caught inside diamonds can inform us a lot about what the conditions resembled when they formed.

Product caught inside diamonds can inform us a lot about what the conditions resembled when they formed.

Diamonds are produced under terrific heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s mantle and are provided to the surface area by volcanic activity.

The charm of diamonds is they do not alter on their journey.

And from the small bubbles of minerals caught inside them we understand at what pressure and temperature level they were formed.

“Diamonds are a little bottle, as soon as you’ve formed it then you’ve encapsulated that fluid and it’s not going to change,” Teacher Foley stated.

“If you can measure that fluid then you’ve got exactly the sample that was there at the time the diamond formed.”

Dr Timmerman’s group didn’t simply take a look at any diamonds, they took a look at very-deep diamonds sourced from Brazil.

Dr Timmerman stated while this research study utilizing very deep diamonds was very cool, there are lots of things we still require to discover prehistoric tanks.

Dr Timmerman stated while this research study utilizing very deep diamonds was very cool, there are lots of things we still require to discover prehistoric tanks.

These unusual rocks come from 410 to 660 kilometres listed below the ground, more than two times the regular depths you would discover diamonds, from a part of the Earth’s mantle called the shift zone, which divides the upper mantle from the lower mantle.

“This is a way to directly look into the deep Earth without having any change when it was brought up to the surface,” Dr Timmerman stated.

The group initially cut 24 diamonds into pieces and took a look at their development structures under an electron microscopic lense.

Then they evaluated what minerals, micronutrient and isotopes had actually ended up being caught inside the diamonds as they formed.

It’s the very first time such an analysis has actually been performed.

They found the diamonds had high helium 3 to helium 4 ratios, verifying the prehistoric tank exists either at the depth at which the diamonds were formed or listed below them in the lower mantle.

Teacher Foley stated the research study cleans up an age-old debate, and demonstrates how important diamonds are as the just samples we have to provide us info about the deep Earth.

“These super deep diamonds, and studies of them, are telling us what’s really going on at depths of 400 and 500 kilometres,” he stated.

The diamonds likewise consisted of proof of surface area sediments, revealing that product from the Earth’s crust is being drawn deep into the mantle and combining with these other products.

Dr Timmerman stated the discovery offered us tantalising ideas about the motion of heat and product through the mantle, as hot product increases towards the crust and cold product sinks back towards the core, a procedure called convection.

“We know the mantle is convecting, but this reservoir hasn’t taken part in that so it means we don’t have convection in the entire mantle,” she stated.

Electron microscopic lense images can expose the various development layers of diamonds.

While Dr Timmerman was delighted by what they had actually discovered up until now, there are lots of other secrets deep underneath our feet to fix.

“The questions that we still want to answer, how many of these primordial reservoirs are there down there, how big are they, and to know a bit more about the chemical composition and how they form,” she stated.

“It’s really important to know the structure of the Earth and the volumes and the ages of these different chemical reservoirs and their composition, to understand how the Earth has evolved into a core and mantle, and how this has all been changing over time.”

 Ellen Kay Lankford, age 57

Miss Ellen Kay Lankford, age 57 of North Wilkesboro, passed away Monday, January 13, 2020 at her home.

A Celebration of Life Service was held 2 p.m., Saturday, January 18, 2020, at Arbor Grove United Methodist Church on Arbor Grove Church Road in Purlear, with Rev. Dr. Susan Pillsbury Taylor officiating.

Speakers were Mr. Ken Welborn, Mr. Larry Griffin and Mrs. Janet Lael Wood. The family received friends immediately following the service in the fellowship hall of the church.

Greeters during the service were Heather Dean and Allison Ivey.

Miss Lankford was born August 1, 1962, in Wilkes County to Samuel Hayden and Willa Mae McNeil Lankford. She was a laboratory scientist with Guilford County Health Department and was a member of Arbor Grove United Methodist Church.

Ellen always excelled in school. She attended Millers Creek Elementary and West Wilkes High schools. During her senior year, she transferred to Wilkes Central High  School to take advanced classes, which allowed her to enter college as a sophomore. She went to Appalachian State University in Boone where she earned her bachelors degree in biology. She continued her education at Wake Forest Baptist Medical School and Appalachian State University, going on to earn her masters degree in biology.

During high school she worked for Winn-Dixie grocery store in North Wilkesboro and later for Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission under the late Betty Baker. After completing her college education, she worked at Davie County Memorial Hospital in Mocksville. Later, she went to work for the Guilford County Health Department as a laboratory scientist. She also worked part-time at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro in the same capacity.

She lived in Greensboro during most of her working career. She retired from the Guilford County Health Department. Ellen moved back home to Wilkes in August 2015.

Ellen had no children, but rather looked at her brothers, Mike and Jerry's, children as her own. Later, when Jerry's grandchildren arrived, she acted as a grandmother to those children as well. In return, they all loved her dearly.

Although she had many hobbies and interests - mostly dealing with more intellectual endeavors - her main passion and love was for her family, whom she treated wonderfully.

Ellen was also an accomplished pianist and vocalist. She could also play the dulcimer.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers; Gary Steven Lankford and Michael Grayden Lankford.

Ellen is survived by a brother; Jerry Alfred Lankford of Millers Creek, five nieces; Eva May Lankford and fiancé Robert Carlton of Millers Creek, Heather Renee Greene and husband Joven of Wilkesboro, Jennifer Osborne and husband Edwin of Millers Creek, Anna Lankford and husband Josh Church of Millers Creek and Gabriella Lankford of Hamptonville and two great nephews; Sammie Osborne and Charlie Church. Ellen is also survived by her two dearest friends: Janet Lael Wood of Wilkesboro, and Lisa Church of Millers Creek.

Diamonds point to existence of ancient rocks from the birth of the Earth - Science News

While most of us judge diamonds by their appearance, it’s what’s inside these sparklers that you can’t see that makes them so valuable to science.

KEY POINTS CUT AND PASTE

Key points

Scientists have long suspected there’s a reservoir of primordial rock somewhere in the Earth’s mantle

A study using super deep diamonds has provided the first direct evidence

Diamonds give us a way to look directly at what’s happening in the deep Earth, hundreds of kilometres beneath our feet

Microscopic bubbles of helium trapped within the stones have provided the first direct evidence of a reservoir of primordial rock deep below our feet that has remained relatively undisturbed since our planet formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago.

And that finding, published in the journal Science today, could lead us to a greater understanding of how the Earth works, and how it’s evolved over time.

“For scientists, diamonds are not just the shiny jewels that they are for the rest of the people,” said geochemist Suzette Timmerman, who conducted the research as part of her PhD at the Australian National University.

“For us, they’re the direct window into the deep Earth.”

Unravelling a mystery

Today the Earth is composed of an inner solid core, a liquid outer core, the mantle and crust.

Today the Earth is composed of an inner solid core, a liquid outer core, the mantle and crust.

The Earth is basically split into four main layers: the inner solid core of the planet, the liquid outer core, the mantle and the crust.

The mantle, which is the thickest layer at approximately 2,900 kilometres, is divided into an upper layer, where tectonic movement takes place, and a lower layer.

It’s long been thought there’s a reservoir of primordial rock as old as the Moon, and potentially as old as the Earth, sitting somewhere in the mantle.

Scientists first suspected this primordial reservoir might exist in the 1980s when they discovered some basalt lavas had an unusual chemical signature.

Basalts spewed out of island volcanoes such as those found on Hawaii or Iceland had a very high helium 3 to helium 4 isotope ratio.

Unusual chemical signatures have been found in basalt lavas in places like Hawaii.

Unusual chemical signatures have been found in basalt lavas in places like Hawaii.

But this pattern was not seen in basalt that erupted from mid ocean ridges as the seafloor spreads apart.

“People have not known where these [unusual] basalts come from,” said geologist Stephen Foley of Macquarie University who was not involved in the study.

“There have been helium isotope difference between ocean islands and between mid-ocean ridges, and really we don’t know why.”

This is significant because the amount of different helium isotopes present tells you where the helium came from.

“Helium 3 is there from the beginning of the Earth, you can’t form it again,” Professor Foley said.

While helium 3 can only come from a primordial source, helium 4 can form from radioactive decay of other elements, for example uranium and thorium.

But while the helium signatures pointed towards the existence of a primordial reservoir, they could not prove it actually existed.

That’s because as magmas make their way through the mantle to form basalt lavas at the surface, their composition can change as they interact with the surrounding material.

There was even debate as to whether such a reservoir could have survived at all, particularly given the chaotic early history of our planet.

“When the Earth formed it was really, really hot, so we wouldn’t have had a crust or an ocean like we know it today,” Dr Timmerman said.

“In addition, we had a lot of meteorite impacts, and we had this big impact when the Moon formed, part of the Earth was just basically smashed away.”

To crack the mystery of the primordial reservoir, scientists needed to study something else: diamonds.

Enter super deep diamonds

Material trapped inside diamonds can tell us a lot about what the conditions were like when they formed.

Diamonds are created under great heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s mantle and are delivered to the surface by volcanic activity.

The beauty of diamonds is they don’t change on their journey.

And from the tiny bubbles of minerals trapped inside them we know at what pressure and temperature they were formed.

“Diamonds are a little bottle, as soon as you’ve formed it then you’ve encapsulated that fluid and it’s not going to change,” Professor Foley said.

“If you can measure that fluid then you’ve got exactly the sample that was there at the time the diamond formed.”

Dr Timmerman’s team didn’t just look at any diamonds, they looked at super-deep diamonds sourced from Brazil.

Dr Timmerman said while this study using super deep diamonds was super cool, there are many things we still need to find out about primordial reservoirs.

Dr Timmerman said while this study using super deep diamonds was super cool, there are many things we still need to find out about primordial reservoirs.

These rare rocks come from 410 to 660 kilometres below the ground, more than twice the normal depths you would find diamonds, from a part of the Earth’s mantle known as the transition zone, which divides the upper mantle from the lower mantle.

“This is a way to directly look into the deep Earth without having any change when it was brought up to the surface,” Dr Timmerman said.

The team first cut 24 diamonds into slices and looked at their growth structures under an electron microscope.

Then they analysed what minerals, trace elements and isotopes had become trapped inside the diamonds as they formed.

It’s the first time such an analysis has been carried out.

They discovered the diamonds had high helium 3 to helium 4 ratios, confirming the primordial reservoir exists either at the depth at which the diamonds were formed or below them in the lower mantle.

Professor Foley said the study clears up an age-old controversy, and shows how crucial diamonds are as the only samples we have to give us information about the deep Earth.

“These super deep diamonds, and studies of them, are telling us what’s really going on at depths of 400 and 500 kilometres,” he said.

The diamonds also contained evidence of surface sediments, showing that material from the Earth’s crust is being drawn deep into the mantle and mixing with these other materials.

Dr Timmerman said the discovery gave us tantalising clues about the movement of heat and material through the mantle, as hot material rises towards the crust and cold material sinks back towards the core, a process called convection.

“We know the mantle is convecting, but this reservoir hasn’t taken part in that so it means we don’t have convection in the entire mantle,” she said.

Electron microscope images can reveal the different growth layers of diamonds.

While Dr Timmerman was excited by what they had found so far, there are many other mysteries deep beneath our feet to solve.

“The questions that we still want to answer, how many of these primordial reservoirs are there down there, how big are they, and to know a bit more about the chemical composition and how they form,” she said.

“It’s really important to know the structure of the Earth and the volumes and the ages of these different chemical reservoirs and their composition, to understand how the Earth has evolved into a core and mantle, and how this has all been changing over time.”

Dino-Mite! T. Rex Boosts Omaha Home to the Top of the Week’s Most Popular Homes

realtor.com

Different agent, different house. Same schtick, same success. It’s summer, so a popular sequel makes sense. America loves sequels!

A few weeks back, the web almost broke over the image of a real estate agent dressed as a dinosaur to market a modest lakefront home in Texas. Now, the stunt has been copied by an enterprising agent in Omaha.

The result? The agent’s T. rex costume drew a ton of clicks to the listing for a remodeled ranch. We’re guessing the publicity will spur a quick sale of the $189,000 home.

This week’s runner-up is a home from Season 1 of “Fixer Upper.” If you’re looking for a touch of HGTV magic, you could snap up this Texas ranch featuring many of the signature looks that transformed Chip and Joanna Gaines into nationwide sensations.

Other homes attracting your attention this week included a midcentury marvel in Southern California, a massive castle in Texas, and the “Brady Bunch” house, which was purchased by the good folks at HGTV this week.  

This means Lance Bass will have to turn his attention to the other properties that are this week’s most popular homes.

10. 3716 N White Chapel Blvd, Southlake, TX 

Price: $3.5 million Why it’s here: Live like royalty in this Texas-size castle! There’s no drawbridge or moat, but the castle comes with a 12-car garage, home theater, game room, libraries, guest quarters, wine room, and crafts room.

Southlake, TX

9. 24002 Long Valley Rd, Hidden Hills, CA 

Price: $11,495,000 Why it’s here: The high-end home was “masterfully reimagined” by designer Windsor Smith. The six-bedroom home includes a double staircase, chef’s kitchen with breakfast nook, screening room, and gym. Situated on 1.56 acres in an enclave popular with celebs, the property also features a sport court, infinity pool, outdoor barbecue, and barn with arena.

Hidden HIlls, CA

There’s a large deck out back, and the train, shops, and restaurants are nearby.

Milford, CT

4. 11222 Dilling St, Studio City, CA 

Price: $1,885,000 (pending sale) Why it’s here: Although Lance Bass thought he had the winning bid on the “Brady Bunch” house, it was not to be. HGTV swooped in at the last minute and outbid him. The former boy bander even took to social media to complain the process had used him to drive up the price. However, there might be a happy ending—Bass and HGTV mended fences and he may have a hand in the home’s renovation.

Studio City, CA

3. 7404 Hillside Dr, La Jolla, CA

Price: $13 million Why it’s here: We’re totally falling for this modern marvel with “out-of-this-world” views. Built on a hill in 1970, the 4,863-square-foot home comes with 2.5 acres. It features floor-to-ceiling windows, 14-foot ceilings, and views of the ocean and coastline. The list price is only a suggestion, as the seller will consider all offers between $10 million and $13 million.

2. 1044 Bosque Ridge Rd, Crawford, TX 

Price: $475,000 Why it’s here: Behold the legacy of Chip and Joanna Gaines! “Fixer Upper” is over, but the homes the couple renovated keep popping onto the market. This latest example is a farmhouse that’s now fabulous thanks to the remodel it received on Season 1, in 2014. It features an updated kitchen, custom barn doors (of course), exposed wooden beams, and two living rooms.

Crawford, TX

realtor.com

———

1. 9636 Emmet St, Omaha, NE 

Price: $189,000 Why it’s here: It looks like a real estate agent dressed as a dinosaur wasn’t a crazy idea after all. Just like the Texas lake house that featured a T. Rex, this Midwest ranch is shown with a prehistoric creature of its own.

“I saw someone do this a couple of years ago and thought it was hilarious,” says Bambi Case, the listing agent and woman in the dinosaur suit. “This home was a typical ranch that had a massive addition added, so I knew it needed more traffic to get people in to see how different it is compared to other homes. Once I brought up the idea to the seller, she insisted we do it!”

Case says the costume worked. “I have had a lot of additional traffic on this home. It was so much fun to run around, taking professional photos! I will do it again,” she adds.

We’ll see if this dino-mite trend has legs, and returns for another sequel!

New Port Richey Rotary participates in worldwide Purple Pinky Day

Rotarians know about the work Rotary International does all around the world to banish polio, and they also know they cannot stop until the disease that kills and cripples is eliminated. In late October the Rotary Club of New Port Richey’s Interact Club and its members participated in the 2017 Purple Pinky Day to spotlight Rotary’s global polio program. This club was one of the thousands of Rotary clubs in their own communities representing Purple Pinky Day throughout the world all with the same focus. New Port Richey Rotarian, Nanci Larson, addressed members at the meeting noting that Purple Pinky Day is an excellent opportunity to bring awareness to the community about what Rotary does to eradicate polio. Also by getting the club’s River Ridge Interact members involved  is another way to inform today’s youth that polio still exists “...but we’re this close to removing this crippling disease from the world,” as Ms. Larson indicated with her index finger and thumb. “It’s important people learn about Rotary’s impact even from the community level.” Also on the committee this year was Dr. Toni Zetzschce, principal at River Ridge High School. Rotary members were asked to donate that day as well and together with the Interact club they were able to send nearly $300 to Rotary International. The event gets its name from the worldwide effort to eradicate polio.  Once a child is vaccinated, their pinky finger is dyed purple to indicate  that they received the oral vaccine. ### The New Port Richey Rotary Club was established in 1959 and meets every Wednesday for lunch at noon at the Spartan Manor in New Port Richey. The club’s current president is Brent Simon. Rotary  International is an organization of business and  professional persons united world-wide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards  in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

Facts Of Life Star Mindy Cohn Reveals She's Finally Cancer Free After 5-Year Battle & Double Mastectomy

how I looked younger without plastic surgery

Mindy Cohn is a survivor!

After keeping her battle with breast cancer a secret for five years, the Facts Of Life star is finally healthy -- and that she's not staying quiet about!

Photos: The Facts Of Life Cast's 35th Anniversary Reunion Brings Back All Your Favorite Memories!

The 51-year-old tells People it all started with a sudden fatigue in 2012:

"I was walking around my neighborhood in Los Angeles and I suddenly got so tired. I just couldn't go anymore. This was before Uber was really a thing, so I texted my friend Helen Hunt and said, ‘Something's wrong with me. I need help.'"

So scary! Sadly, the diagnosis was breast cancer, and the treatments -- radiation, chemo, and a double mastectomy -- were like fighting back a "siege." Mindy recalls:

"I've always been an optimist, but the cancer metastasized. It kept spreading and coming back. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and then it would. And then I'd wait for another shoe to drop, and it would. I was frustrated and enraged. I couldn't control any of this. I couldn't fix it."

Mindy had no choice but to step away from Hollywood, where she had been working steadily in TV guest appearances and voiceover roles like Velma on Scooby-Doo.

She spent some time recuperating with her friends Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, aka TV's The Fabulous Beekman Boys, on their farm in upstate New York:

"They are my family. I have my parents, who have always been there for me. And then I have my family by choice, which includes them. We'll be in each others' lives forever."

Awww.

Apparently that family time was exactly what she needed! Because now after five long years, she's cancer free! She says:

"I'm feeling great. And I'm so ready to get back to working. I think I'm a good actress, and I have a lot to offer. I'm excited to see what I get to do next!"

So are we, girl!

She spent some time recuperating with her friends Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell, aka TV's The Fabulous Beekman Boys, on their farm in upstate New York:

"They are my family. I have my parents, who have always been there for me. And then I have my family by choice, which includes them. We'll be in each others' lives forever."

Awww.

Apparently that family time was exactly what she needed! Because now after five long years, she's cancer free! She says:

"I'm feeling great. And I'm so ready to get back to working. I think I'm a good actress, and I have a lot to offer. I'm excited to see what I get to do next!"

So are we, girl!
