1935

Hoover Dam: U.S. Border between Nevada and Arizona

A small blue Coupe drove down the seemingly abandoned road in the early morning hours, its two occupants, a man and a woman, talked amongst themselves. As the sun peered through the trees, light began to pour into the car. The man, having light ash brown hair and amber eyes, was driving while the woman sat in the passenger seat. She had slightly curled brown hair and hazel eyes, holding a briefcase on her lap. The man gripped the steering wheel, seeming nervous about something and the woman reached over placing a gentle hand on his. "Robert. Relax. It's going to be fine. I'm just as nervous as you." she said with a small smile. Robert stole a glance over at her.

"I know. I know. But isn't it a bit strange that they still haven't told us what exactly we're going to be researching?" he asked, returning his attention back to the road. "It's our first day." Robert ran a hand through his hair, sighing. The woman nodded in agreement as she frowned slightly. "It is." she said before looking out her window. She noticed no one else was on the road and wondered if they were given the right directions. "Are we even going the right way?" She asked him. "Yes. They said to head this way and stop at the gate. It should be right….there."

Robert pointed to where a large fence and gate blocked their way and he slowed the car down. Men in military attire and guns guarded the entrance. The woman glanced at Robert as he rolled down his window once they got to the gate. One of the soldiers bent down a little and looked at them. "IDs please." he said. The pair held up their already provided IDs and the soldier examined them for a good minute. He then nodded, waving them through. They drove past and parked the car in a lot just outside of the building connecting to Hoover Dam. Standing at the entrance door was a young man with somewhat curly dark brown hair, smiling a bit in greeting. "Robert, Lilian." he said, nodding to them as the two came over.

"Agent Simmons, right?" Robert asked as he shook hands with the man, who nodded. Simmons led the pair inside where people bustled around with papers and such. Voices and conversations overlapped while the trio began to walk down the hallway before he brought Robert and Lilian to a door. 'RESTRICTED AREA' could be read and the pair exchanged glances. "You two will be working in our Advanced Research Division. What you are about to see is classified and not allowed to be known outside this building." Simmons said in a dead serious tone, causing both Robert and Lilian to swallow nervously and nod in understanding. They did not want to know what would happen if they did 'spill the beans' so to speak and they obviously did not want to find out. Simmons opened the door and led them in. What caught their attention was the enormous, frozen robotic being in the middle of the room. Lilian's eyes widened in shock as they approached it. "What is that?" Robert spoke up in pure shock and wonder to Simmons. Simmons placed his hands behind his back and answered "We have yet to know what it actually is or where it came from. But we do know that it is non-biological and not from Earth." Robert raised a brow. "A non-biological extraterrestrial lifeform?"

Lilian stared at the huge lifeform in the middle of the room. "That's a mouth full to say." She commented. "Well, what would you call it?" Robert asked. "NBE…One. Since you or anyone haven't seen one like this before." she replied breathlessly and Simmons smirked a bit, nodding in understanding.

"So what exactly are we going to be researching about this…alien?" Robert asked and Simmons merely smiled, a look in his eyes that the pair couldn't read.

"Everything." Robert and Lilian looked at him and then at one another as Simmons handed them each a file. "Report everything you find to me." he ordered. They both slowly nodded. "Welcome to Sector 7." Simmons said as he smiled and left the two of them to begin their work. The ashen haired man started to read through the file, his eyes widening slightly. There was a lot of things in the file he had never seen before. The origins of this alien were not from this solar system. He looked up at the alien, Lilian staring at it as well. "I've never seen anything like it." she breathed. The robotic-looking being was around 35 feet in height and was silver-grey in color. There were symbols, markings on its body and its eyes seemed to be unseeing. It almost seemed...menacing. The two adults stared in awe at the being before exchanging looks. They approached the already working group of scientists and Robert announced with a small smile on his face "Lets get started, shall we?"
