<strong>The</strong> Fourth Interview of Dr. Jamisson <strong>Neruda</strong><br />
WingmakersTM<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “<strong>The</strong> twenty-third chamber had a significant amount of rock debris on its<br />
floor. It had all the markings of being unfinished, as if the constructors had to leave<br />
suddenly or simply ran out of patience before they completed their mission. We invested a<br />
reasonable amount of time and analysis studying the walls and debris of the twenty-third<br />
chamber, hoping to discern the methods of construction, but we never suspected that there<br />
was a hidden passageway beneath the debris on the floor of the chamber.”<br />
Sarah: “So, there was a trap door”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “Shortly before my defection, a trap door was discovered by some ACIO<br />
researchers who were conducting a form of x-ray photography of the interior of the site.”<br />
Sarah: “For what purpose”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “<strong>The</strong>y were trying to determine if there were any structural deficiencies in the<br />
site that could cause instabilities within the site in the long-term. We had, in effect, broken<br />
the seal on this site and introduced a significant amount of stress to the structure. Fifteen,<br />
being the thorough person he is, wanted to be sure we hadn’t inadvertently compromised<br />
the structural integrity of the site. He felt certain that the site’s preservation was potentially<br />
critical.”<br />
Sarah: “Okay, so these x-rays showed a trap door to another chamber. How was it<br />
overlooked before Was it completely hidden”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “Not really. We had been told to leave all the chambers as we had found<br />
them—other than to remove the artifacts and catalog everything we found. What we didn’t<br />
realize was that the six inches of rock chips on the floor of the twenty-third chamber<br />
concealed a vertical passageway.”<br />
Sarah: “It went straight down”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “Correct. It dropped nearly fifty meters—”<br />
Sarah: “But I thought the antechamber was fifty meters underneath the twenty-third<br />
chamber.”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “It is, but not directly underneath. <strong>The</strong> twenty-fourth chamber is only<br />
separated by four meters from the nearest wall of the antechamber.”<br />
Sarah: “Was there a passageway between the two, or was the only entrance from the twentythird<br />
chamber”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “<strong>The</strong> only entrance was from the twenty-third chamber, which made it near<br />
impossible to get to.”<br />
Sarah: “Why”<br />
