Gary Brandt delivers his most treasure-hunting and conspiracy-unraveling chapter yet in this episode from The Dimension Of Mind Dot Com when Roxanna's pre-dawn scream launches the girls into a whirlwind day that combines supernatural downloads with Civil War-era discoveries and psychological warfare operations.
The brilliant escalation begins when Roxanna's violent awakening by invisible Visitors downloads specific coordinates into her consciousness, leading the girls first to a hidden natural cave containing untouched Civil War treasure—muskets, gunpowder kegs, and a chest filled with century-old gold and silver coins—providing the perfect secure vault for their own precious metals.
What starts as a simple storage mission transforms into a high-stakes intelligence operation when the second set of coordinates leads them to Saratoga Springs, New York, where they discover Agent Remmick secretly monitoring their supposedly memory-wiped allies.
Brandt masterfully captures teenage audacity meeting government paranoia when the girls casually walk up to Remmick and call him a 'son of a bitch' while simultaneously revealing they've read his mind and discovered his growing doubts about his mission.
But the real heartbreak unfolds when Eileen attempts to reconnect with Commander Beaker and Melanie, only to discover they've been so thoroughly mind-wiped they genuinely believe completely fabricated identities—Beaker now thinks he's been a housing director for twenty years instead of an expert on extraterrestrial contact and secret space programs.
The chapter's emotional core emerges through Eileen's tears as she realizes the devastating effectiveness of memory manipulation while desperately leaving their contact information for when the 'artificial memories begin to deteriorate.' Brandt brilliantly escalates the stakes through the girls' strategic decision to kidnap Remmick as their only remaining link to understanding the operation against them, while Ella's diary entry reveals a soldier's mentality: 'assume you're already dead' and fight to reclaim life rather than preserve it.
The perfect balance of teenage determination and military tactics emerges when these fifteen-year-olds acknowledge they're 'charging straight into the machine guns' because waiting means certain death anyway—a haunting meditation on how survival sometimes requires embracing the very dangers you're trying to escape, especially when backed by the 'powerful forces' Ezekiel promised would support their impossible mission.
