Only minutes have passed since the hideous creature that Dr. Willard had become

gasped the last breath of its violently short life cycle. The experiment had failed, the

gleam of immortality returned to the stars from which it came.

Lara looks on silently, oblivious to the press of the bitter Antarctic wind. Suddenly a

ragged figure emerges from the dark, gaping hole of the meteor cavern - it is Willard,

a human reborn, but in the throes of death. A hand gestures wildly, a final guttural

laugh tears through the silence, the figure slumps forward and is still.

With the snow already forming a ghastly shroud over the body, Lara quickly tears an

object from the dead man’s grasp. A wallet, its monogrammed ‘W’ now standing sadly

against Willard’s last earthly remains. Inside, the usual collection of tattered memen-

tos, a hodge-podge of foreign currency and…but this cannot be! A familiar expression

glides across Lara’s face - an eyebrow raised by a wry and knowing smile. Before her,

a telegram urging an immediate return to take possession of another artifact now

way forwards and grab those tricky ledges.
