WINTER WONDERLAND - INTRODUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________
Having studied and practised Anthropology for over 10 years, you had all
but given up on your dreams to make some great discovery that would put your
name in the history books. Until, that is you received a Telex from your
Russian Archeologist friend, Sergio Kirov, currently working in Tibet. In it he
claimed to have discovered evidence of a civilisation that had advanced at
exactly the same rate as the rest of Mankind, yet totally independent of it.
Sergio requested that you come to Tibet as quickly as possible to give your
expert advice. Naturally you booked a flight as soon as you could.
Landing at Lhasa airport you found that Sergio was not there, but one of
the locals told you that he had left a message telling you to meet him at the
dig site. As this was on the lower slopes of the Himalayas - easily accessible
by aircraft - and you being a competent pilot, you hired a run down Cessna from
a small airfield and set off, following Sergio's instructions on how to find
the dig.
You were, however, in too much of a hurry to check the weather forecast
and you soon became caught in a freak snowstorm that took you higher and higher
into the mountains. The tiny plane's engine could not cope with the altitude
and soon gave up, leaving you flying blind with no engine. Your Mayday calls
went unanswered, so you decided to try and land, hoping and praying that you
were above flat land.
Breaking through the dense cloud cover you were relieved to see a
dazzling white snowfield spread below you. Desperately preparing for a crash
landing, you were distracted by a glint of sunlight on glass - a building!
Could THIS be the lost civilisation?
Your attention however was drawn back to the ground hurtling towards
you...
