<strong>The</strong> Fourth Interview of Dr. Jamisson <strong>Neruda</strong><br />

WingmakersTM<br />

By Sarah<br />

W<br />

hat follows is a session I recorded of Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong> on December 31, 1997. He<br />

gave permission for me to record his answers to my questions. This is the<br />

transcript of that session. This was one of five times I was able to tape record<br />

our conversations. I have preserved these transcripts precisely as they occurred. No editing<br />

was performed, and I’ve tried my best to include the exact words, phrasing, and grammar<br />

used by Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>.<br />

(It’s recommended that you read the previous three interviews before reading this interview.)<br />

Sarah: “As promised, one of the things I want to focus on in this interview is the Ancient<br />

Arrow site. From what you said the other day, the Ancient Arrow site was essentially<br />

stripped of its artifacts. Where are they now and what do you think the ACIO intends to do<br />

with them”<br />

Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “As of the time of my defection, the site’s antechamber and twenty-three subchambers<br />

were carefully measured, analyzed, and each of the artifacts were cataloged. All of<br />

the artifacts that could be taken from the twenty-three chambers were moved to the ACIO<br />

lab for rigorous testing. <strong>The</strong> initial hope was that they contained accessible technologies that<br />

could somehow accelerate the deployment schedule for BST. However, I think that<br />

expectation changed following the discovery of the twenty-fourth chamber.”<br />

Sarah: “You never really talked in any detail about the chambers before. What was so special<br />

about the twenty-fourth Chamber”<br />

Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “What was interesting about the chambers—apart from the artifacts they<br />

contained—was that the site was as sterile as an operating room, except the twenty-third<br />

chamber. Remember that these chambers protruded outward from a central corridor that<br />

spiraled up through solid rock. From the top of the twenty-third chamber to the<br />

antechamber below was approximately fifty meters. We knew there were twenty-four<br />

chapters or segments on the optical disc, but we assumed that the antechamber—even<br />

though it didn’t have any artifacts—was included. Thus, we falsely assumed that the twentyfour<br />

chambers were accounted for.”<br />

Sarah: “<strong>The</strong>y weren’t”<br />

Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “No. <strong>The</strong>re was another chamber that had been hidden.”<br />

Sarah: “How”<br />
