Capt. Jessie Ralston: Speical Ops Report

(Note: Jessie on her Harley *click to embiggen*)

(Jessie) Battle with the Egyptian Statues was the most challenging yet. They were impervious to most forms of our attacks, it seems that the only way to dispatch them was to send them back to their own time... or defeat their controller.

After completing our errand of setting up sensors for Percy, it was decided to wait until the Tunguska event to hopefully snare the observers out of the time stream as we return to our current time. This proved to be the correct course of action as our return to Area 51 with the observation pod and it occupants was successful.

I swear its getting like I can conduct these battery of tests on myself! Armed with information Percy gave us about the times 'his' teams were sent to observe:
1. May 31, 1968
2. July 1947 (Roswell, NM)
3. May 31, 1908 (Tunguska) Completed
4. Oct 31, 1963 (Dallas, TX) The Kennedy assassination.
5. Dec 31, 390 AD (Alexandra, Egypt) Destruction of the Great Library
6. Dec 31, 584 BC (Jerusalem) Possible Arc of the Covenant

Mukai is proving to be a bullish force, one that has not seemed to backed down or taken any 'time' off. These temporal machines must be dismantled or destroyed- starting with the one in Chicago.

The Tunguska Event

The Tunguska Event, sometimes called the Tunguska explosion, was a massive explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya (Lower Stony) Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai of Russia, at around 7:14 a.m. (0:14 UT, 7:02 a.m. local solar time) on June 30, 1908 (June 17 in the Julian calendar, in use locally at the time).

The explosion was most likely caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 3–6 miles above Earth's surface. Different studies have yielded varying estimates for the object's size, with general agreement that it was a few tens of metres across.

Although the meteor or comet burst in the air rather than directly hitting the surface, this event is still referred to as an impact. Estimates of the energy of the blast range from 5 megatons to as high as 30 megatons of TNT, with 10–15 megatons the most likely - about 1000 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan and about one third the power of Tsar Bomba. The explosion knocked over an estimated 80 million trees over 2,150 square kilometres (830 square miles). The earthquake from the blast measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. An explosion of this magnitude is capable of destroying a large metropolitan area. This possibility has helped to spark discussion of asteroid deflection strategies.

The Tunguska event is believed to be the largest impact event on land in Earth's recent history; impacts of similar size in remote ocean areas would have gone unnoticed before the advent of global satellite monitoring in the 1960s and 1970s.
