Lost City Raiders Page #6

This thing is heavy.

i mean, the crystal is huge.

What do you think it's made out of?

The staff is made of

some kind of metal alloy.

Crystal hapese

nothing special, much lighter

... than it looks.

What is that?

It's pangaea.

A supercontinent. It existed on earth

until about 65 million years ago.

Look at these.

The planet is broken up into quadrants.

I know some of these locations.

These are cosmic energy

convergence points.

Cosmic energy convergence points?

The planet is a mass of

electromagnetic energy,

where the highest vibrations intersect.

It's called the convergence.

These points are also in close

proximity to unstable plate .. tectonic activity.

- Maybe this can control water.

- You've gotta be kidding me.

I don't know, but whoever designed it

knew exactly how and where

to manipulate the earth's crest,

to raise or lower the plates,

thereby raising or lowering the water levels.

Here, this!

this looks like Saint Etienne

a giant cave complex.

Definitely, a convergence point.

So, we go there and then what?

Well, billions of tons of water are

pressing down on the earth's tectonic plates

and causing them to shift

only by relieving the stress

can the flooding be stopped.

And you believe the scepter can do that?

Here. I brought you some cofee.

Thank you.

I had a bad feeling

about Filiminov.

But getting the scepter in

exchange for research funds was..

was too much to pass up.

This scepter's a wild-goose chase.

But you agreed to go to the cave.

I wanna finish what pa started.

Blind faith is not your style, I know.

Yep, I believe in empirical science.

Scientific consensus is overthrown

all the time, Jack.

Remember? There were 9 planets,

now there are only 8.

All right, let's hurry!

It's here.

I know it is.

- wow, that looks very deep.

- It is.

Let's go.

- No.

- What?

- dead end.

- I don't believe it.

There's gotta be something.

- Hey, check it out.

- What? What is it?

The same metal alloy as the scepter.

- Yeah, it's the keyhole.

- Hold that.

Let me go.

look at this.

No! No No

Damn it!

One of these.

It's one of these, it's gotta be.

- Look.

- Push it!

Everything. push everything.

Go go go!

Stop it, guys.

Stop it. Forget about the door, okay?

We're here because of the rising,

remember?

Thomas, hey.

Help me figure this out.

Calm down.

You know, I think this shows how

the whole system works.

This is a control room for something.

For setting off a precise explosion,

activating the pressure points

to shift the tectonic plates

and manipulating the flow of water.

It's my theory!

Ha!

So, the legends are true.

I think you don't understand.

This isn't some supernatural mumbo-jumbo.

It's exactly the geological principle

I've been working on.

But this.. this is extraordinary.

It's taking my research to

a whole-whole other level.

A global level!

Giovanna, I'm with you. I am.

How does it work?

I was afraid

you were gonna ask that, yeah.

Y'know, I think these

might be pilot lights.

- That's it.

- What?

We're standing on a massive

natural gas reservoir.

- Isn't that explosive?

- Extremely.

- Whoever built this place

- must want us to blow it up.

Exactly. Instructions!

How to open a valve to the water.

And drain the waters back underground.

Are you sure?

That's a hell of a lot of water up there.

And this here is a hell of a big chasm.

Hey, Jack, we have to try this.

Okay and if it works,

how do we get out of this place?

No. We cannot think about that.

A lot of people have died for this,

including my father, ?

And it's up to us to put faith in it, okay?

So, what are you waiting for?

Take this.

- I say we just blow it up.

- how?

Wait. There might be another way.

Whoever built this place

gave us everything we need.

- Should I?

- yeah. - Do it!

I think it worked.

I think so.

- I think that thing is a fuse.

- I think we're gonna die.

Push every button. push every button.

push everything. Push it all!

Everything!

I guess I'm bad luck after all.

- Jack, come on.

- Let's get outta here! - Let's go!

GO, GO, GO!

Be careful!

- Wait!

- No, Jack! Jack!

No!

I am a servant of the lord,

fulfilling his divine destiny.

- No!

- Jack!

You cannot stop the rising.

It is an event foretold

by holy scripture.

The prelude to the second coming!

You cannot stop the rising!

Rejoice, for it is god's will.

We have to get out of this place!

She's right!

Thomas, if we stay, we're all gonna die!

Let's go!

it worked.

Now, that was fun.

- To pa.

- To pa.

And to the new Kubiak team?

Cardinal, how are the water levels looking?

The Mediterranean has dropped

almost ten meters!

But, the global water levels

have not receded as we hoped.

We believe, though, that the headpiece

gives us the locations

of the other 31 convergence points.

I see where this is going.

There is still much work to be done,

if we are going to reverse the rising.

Cardinal, can we get back to you

about that after dinner?

Yeah, after dessert as well.

I want dessert.

Whatever you need, boys.

What I need, is some more champagne.

Thank you.

Giovanna?

- Cara?

- no, thanks.

And now a toast

To the new Kubiak team.
