While the professor is gone, the students find a startling document that disturbs them all. Only two words- help me on it. The document is in the professor’s handwriting. Unable to explain it, the students contact ITC in hope of a reasonable explanation. They were told only to get four of their best archeologists together to come to ITC headquarters and that everything would be explained to them later.
