"Contact with that crystal is affecting your behaviour."

"I'm in total control, Suzanne."

When Norton discovers the location of the files relating to ‘Operation Deep Ice’ – vital information relating to the alien invasion of 1953, as compiled by Doctor Forrester – Harrison is ecstatic at the prospect of obtaining his adoptive father’s legacy. Learning that the records are being stored at Kirby Hall, a vast, highly fortified underground vault located deep under the San Francisco Bay, Harrison, Suzanne and Ironhorse meet with the base commander, General Masters, who grants them access to the facility. However, not long after Harrison and Suzanne have gone down to the vaults, a team of alien warriors infiltrates the base and takes over the General; the invaders are after a list detailing the location of ten-thousand of their comrades, all held in top secret government storage areas. Meanwhile, Harrison and Suzanne are disappointed to find only a handful of files in a tiny storeroom – until Norton discovers that the real data was hidden in several other vaults, all listed under various misspellings of “Deep Ice”. Unaware that their enemies are closing in on them, Harrison and Suzanne uncover a treasure trove of data and alien artefacts – including a mysterious pyramidal crystal that immediately casts a strange influence over the two of them…
