Dr. Marina Hall is a scientist who works at a top-secret laboratory high in the mountains of Peru. Almost no one has heard of the lab; it is called only “Zone 1. ” The people who are chosen to work there are sworn to secrecy. Their mission is to raise the remarkable alien children who have been left in their care. The children are gifted by Earth standards. They
are highly intelligent, they are able to learn and speak new languages within only a few days, and they are far stronger than any Earth children their age. Their parents entrusted these children to the most advanced citizens of planet Earth as long as the Zone 1 scientists agreed never let the children’s presence be known to anyone outside the lab. Dr.
Hall has often worried what would happen if the media ever found out about Zone 1. She is glad that such a thing is practically impossible. The laboratory is well hidden and extremely well protected. Dr. Hall enjoys finding ways to challenge and nurture these children, and to learn as much as she can about them.
