El Capitan is composed almost entirely of a pale, coarse-grained granite approximately 100 MYA (million years old). In addition to El Capitan, this granite forms most of the rock features of the western portions of Yosemite Valley.A separate intrusion of igneous rock, the Taft Granite, forms the uppermost portions of the cliff face. A third igneous rock, diorite, is present as dark-veined. Check out this free chapter from Scholle McFarland's book, “El Capitan: A Take Control Crash Course.”. Now with an unruly teen in tow, the Guardians must track down the remaining Groots - and defeat an interplanetary. This second novel depicts the. The solution to this is incredibly simple; wait it out. Even though the progress bar may get stuck on 1 minute remaining, 5 minutes remaining, 15 minutes remaining, or any other number, it may stay at that remaining number for several hours as the installation actually completes.

• General Suggestions
  • Do not encrypt your boot drive with FileVault. Doing so will prevent the system from booting correctly.
  • Keep your El Capitan installation USB on hand. After installing OS X system updates it is sometimes necessary to boot the system with the USB and re-install kexts to get everything working properly again.
  • Use Clover Configurator if you need to mount the EFI partition
  • Using Clover Configurator to edit the default config.plist is not recommended. This program will automatically and without warning makes changes to the default settings in the <key>ACPI</key> section that will prevent the system from booting. If edits are needed, open config.plist with TextEdit and follow the format explained here.
  • If a kernel panic occurs, boot from the installation USB, select the installation drive, hit the space bar and select Boot Mac OS X in safe mode to successfully boot and make necessary changes.
• Touchpad, TrackPoint and Tablet Input
  • Touchpad and TrackPoint use RehabMan’s VoodooPS2Controller.kext found here.
  • Turn off the touchpad with the <PrtSc> key if you will only be using the TrackPoint – this will prevent an issue with unintentional double-clicks with the TrackPoint buttons.
  • Touchpad supports three-finger swipe right and left (forward and back) in Finder, Safari and other browsers
  • For X220 Tablet models, pen input should already work properly. For touch input, install ControllerMate and use the script written by user jakibaki available here. Jakibaki’s script also adds some gestures including swipe from top to get Mission Control, swipe from bottom for Launchpad and swipe from left/right to switch workspaces.
• Special Keys
  • The <PrtSc> key toggles the touchpad on and off
  • The <ScrLk> and <Pause> keys adjust screen brightness as do the standard <Fn>+<Home> and <Fn>+<End> keys
  • The <Insert> key will eject the CD/DVD drive (attached by USB or docking station)
  • The blue ThinkVantage button will toggle between normal fan speeds and the maximum fan speed
• Fan Speed and Noise
  • Fan speeds can be reduced by installing the alternate dsdt.aml and ACPIPoller.kext available here
  • Fan noise can also be regulated by changing the BIOS setting under Config > Power > Adaptive Thermal Management to Balanced
• Video / External Displays
  • To enable scaled resolutions of 1536 x 864 and 1920 x 1080 on the stock LCD panel, follow the steps here
  • Video output through VGA, DisplayPort and docking stations works normally for single external monitor configurations (internal LCD + one external monitor)
  • If an external monitor is not automatically detected, open System Preferences > Displays and press the Option key (the Windows key on the X220 keyboard). This will show a Detect Displays button which should make the external monitor show up immediately.
  • If DisplayPort or VGA connections on Core i7 systems do not function properly:
    • Launch Clover Configurator and mount the EFI partition of your installation drive
    • Click File > Open… then select EFI > EFI > CLOVER > config.plist
    • Select SMBIOS in the left panel and click the “magic wand” button on the right
    • Select the MacBook Pro image (second image from the left) and then select MacBook Pro (8,1) – Core i5/i7 (Sandy Bridge) from the pulldown menu at the top
    • Click the OK button and then File > Save to write the changes to your config.plist
    • Restart the computer
• Miscellaneous
  • To enable docking station headphone and microphone ports, use the alternate AppleHDA_20672.kext available here. Simply place this alternate version in Utility and Kext Pack > EFI > CLOVER > kexts > Other and repeat steps 28-30 above.

Introduction

The twelfth planet, Nibiru (the planet of the passing) as it was called by the Sumerians, or Marduk (king of the heavens) as it was referred to by the Babylonians, is actually a celestial body orbiting our sun with a period of 3,600 years. Its orbit is significantly elliptical, retrograde (rotating around the sun in the opposite direction to the other planets) and distinctly tilted in relation to the plane of our solar system.

Each cyclical approach has almost always caused huge interplanetary upheavals in our solar system, both in the orbits and the conformation of the planets it consists of. It was during one of its more tumultuous transitions that the majestic planet Tiamat, located between Mars and Jupiter, with a mass approximately nine times that of the Earth as it is today, rich in water and endowed with eleven satellites, was destroyed in a cataclysmic collision. One of the seven moons orbiting Nibiru struck the gigantic Tiamat, effectively splitting it in half, and catapulting the two sections into opposing orbits. In the following transition (the “second day” of Genesis), the remaining satellites of Nibiru finished off this process, completely destroying one of the two parts formed in the first collision. The debris generated from multiple impacts created what we now know as the “asteroid belt”, or “hammered bracelet” as it came to be called by the Sumerians. This was partly swallowed up by the neighbouring planets. It was Jupiter, in particular, which captured most of the debris, thus noticeably increasing its own mass.

The satellite artefacts of this disaster, including those surviving from Tiamat, were mostly “fired off” into outer orbits, forming what we now know as “comets”. The part that survived the second transition then positioned itself in a stable orbit between Mars and Venus, taking along with it the last remaining satellite and thus forming what we now call the Earth, together with its inseparable companion, the Moon.

The scar caused by that cosmic impact, which occurred approximately 4 billion years ago, is still partially visible today. The scarred part of the planet is now completely covered by water, in what is now called the Pacific Ocean. This occupies about a third of the earth's surface, extending over 179 million square kilometres. Over this vast area there is virtually no landmass, but instead, a large depression extending to a depth of over ten kilometres.

At present, Nibiru is very much like Earth in its conformation. Two thirds of it is covered in water, whilst the rest is occupied by a single continent that stretches from north to south, with a total surface area of over 100 million square kilometres. For hundreds of thousands of years now, some of its inhabitants have been taking advantage of the cyclical close approaches of their planet to our own, making regular visits, each time influencing the culture, knowledge, technology and the very evolution of the human race. Our predecessors have referred to them in many ways, but perhaps the name that represents them best has always been “Gods”.

Background

Azakis and Petri, the two lovable and inseparable aliens who are the protagonists of this adventure, have returned to planet Earth after one of their years (3,600 earth years). Their mission? To retrieve a precious cargo, they had been forced to hastily abandon on their previous visit, due to a fault in their docking system. This time however, they have found a very different terrestrial population to the one they left behind. Customs, traditions, culture, technology, communication systems, weapons. Everything was very different to what they had seen on their previous visit.

On arrival, they came across a pair of terrestrials: Doctor Elisa Hunter and Colonel Jack Hudson, who welcomed them enthusiastically and after countless adventures, helped them bring their delicate mission to an end.

But what the two aliens would have preferred never to have to tell their new friends was that their own planet, Nibiru, was rapidly approaching and in just seven earth days would intersect the Earth's orbit. According to their Elders' calculations, one of its seven satellites would come so close as to almost touch the planet, causing a series of climate disruptions comparable to those of its previous passage, which had been summed up in a single definition: The Great Flood.

In the two previous books ('Back to Earth' and 'Intersection with Nibiru'), despite countless difficulties, the protagonists of this adventure managed to save the Earth from disaster, but now a new adventure awaits them. Azakis’ and Petri’s return journey home has been sabotaged and an even more terrifying threat is about to befall the entire solar system.

In the last book we left the occupants of the majestic Theos grappling with the sudden activation of the spacecraft’s self-destruct sequence and that is where we will resume the tale of this fantastic new adventure.

Theos spacecraft – The evacuation

'Abandon ship' shouted Azakis desperately.

The Captain’s peremptory order spread simultaneously over all the levels of the Theos. After a brief initial hesitation, the few crew members automatically followed the evacuation procedure they had simulated so many times during emergency drills.

'Eighty seconds to self-destruction' announced the warm, calm female voice of the central system again.

'Come on Zak' shouted Petri. 'We haven’t got much time left, we must get out of here.'

'But can’t we do absolutely anything to interrupt the sequence?' replied Azakis incredulously.

'Unfortunately, no, old chap. Otherwise, don’t you think I’d already have done it?'

'But it’s just not possible,' said the Captain as his companion in adventure dragged him along by the arm, in the direction of internal communication module number three.

'Well actually we could try to manually interrupt the procedure, but it would take at least thirty minutes and we only have more or less a minute left.'

'Wait, stop!' exclaimed Azakis, yanking himself free from his friend’s strong grip. 'We can’t leave it here to explode. The wave of energy the explosion generates will reach Earth in just a few minutes and the exposed face of the planet will be struck by a gigantic shock wave that’ll destroy everything in its passage.'

'I’ve already set up remote control of the Theos from the shuttle. We’ll move it once we’re on board, as long as you get a move on,” scolded Petri as he again grabbed his friend’s arm and bodily dragged him in the direction of the module.

“Sixty seconds to self-destruction.”

'But where do you want to move it to?' Azakis continued, as the internal communication module door opened on the shuttle’s bridge, on level six. 'A minute won’t be enough to make it reach a sufficient distance to...'

'Will you please just stop babbling on?” Petri interrupted him. 'Shut your mouth and sit down there. I’ll handle this now.'

Without further comment, Azakis obeyed the order and sat down in the grey armchair at the side of the central console. As he had already done dozens of times before, in equally dangerous situations, he decided to rely completely on the skill and experience of his companion. While Petri feverishly fumbled with a series of three-dimensional manoeuvre holograms, he thought he’d check on the result of the evacuation of the rest of the crew, simultaneously contacting the individual pilots. In a few seconds they all confirmed the successful detachment of their shuttles from the mother spacecraft. They were moving rapidly away. The Captain drew a big sigh of relief and went back to giving his attention to his friend’s skilful manoeuvring.

“Thirty seconds to self-destruction.”

'We’re out' shouted Petri. 'Now I’ll move the Theos.'

'What can I do to help you?'

“Nothing don't worry. You’re in good hands,' and he winked at him with his right eye, as his terrestrial friends had taught him to do. 'I’ll position the ship behind the moon. From there it won’t be able to do any harm.'

'Gosh,' exclaimed Azakis. 'I hadn’t thought of that.'

'That’s why I'm here, isn’t it?'

'The wave of the explosion will break on the satellite which will absorb all its energy. You’re a phenomenon my friend.'

'And it certainly won’t do any damage on the moon' continued Petri. 'There’s nothing but rocks and craters there.'

“Ten seconds to destruction.'

Install El Capitan Stuck About A Second Remaining

“Almost done....” said Petri faintly.

“Three... Two... One...”

“Done! The Theos is in position.'

Precisely at that instant, on the moon’s hidden face, at the decimal degree coordinates latitude 24.446471 and longitude 152.171308, in correspondence to what the terrestrials had called the Komarov crater, there was a strange telluric movement. A large, deep slit with incredibly perfect edges opened on the crater’s barren, rough surface, as if a huge invisible blade had suddenly been stuck into it. Immediately afterwards, a strange ovoid-shaped object darted out at incredible speed, as if it had been shot directly from inside the crater and headed into space, with an inclined path of about thirty degrees with respect to the perpendicular. The object remained visible for only a few seconds before disappearing forever in a flash of bluish light.

On the shuttle, through the elliptical opening giving a view of the exterior, a blinding flash lit up the black, cold outside space, flooding the inside of the shuttle with an almost unreal light.

'My friend, what about getting out of here?' suggested Azakis worriedly, as he watched the wave of energy expand and rapidly approach their position.

'Follow me,' shouted Petri into the communicator, to the pilots of the other shuttles. Then, without adding anything else, he manoeuvred his vehicle and quickly moved it to shelter behind the side of the moon that always faces the Earth. 'Hold tight,' he added, as he firmly gripped the armrests of the command seat where he was sitting.

They waited, in absolute silence, as interminable seconds went by, their gazes fixed on the central display, hoping that the sudden movement of the Theos had managed to avert a catastrophe on Earth.

'The wave of energy is dispersing in space,” Petri said quietly. He paused briefly then, and after checking a whole series of incomprehensible messages that had appeared in the holograms in front of him, he added, 'and the moon absorbed the portion directed towards the planet perfectly.'

'Well, I’d say you did a really excellent job there, old chap,' commented Azakis after he had begun to breathe again.

'The only thing that really suffered was the poor moon. It took a proper beating.'

'Think what might have happened if the wave had arrived on Earth.'

'It would have burnt up half the planet.'

'Are you all okay?' Azakis hastened to ask all the other pilots through the communicator, who, following Petri’s manoeuvres, had also positioned their shuttles in the shelter of the satellite. Comforting answers came back in sequence and, after the last captain had also confirmed that both his crew and vehicle were in perfect condition, he let himself slump back against the back of his armchair and let out all the air in his lungs.

'That went well,' commented Petri satisfied.

'Yes, but now what do we do? The Theos no longer exists. How are we going to get back home?”

Tell el-Mukayyar – Flash in the sky

At doctor Elisa Hunter’s base camp, after jumping out of the archaeologist’s arms, Lulù, the little kitten, had begun to prowl around nervously with her gaze fixed towards the sky. The sun was going down and a beautiful, almost full moon was already high on the horizon.

'Lulù, what’s the matter?' asked Elisa a little worried, looking at the restless kitten.

'She must be sad because she’s realised our friends have left,' commented Jack laconically, trying to comfort her by stroking her gently under her chin.

The little cat initially seemed to relish the attention, purring and rubbing her nose against the Colonel’s big hand. All of a sudden however, she froze, made a strange sound and turned her eyes straight towards the earth’s pale satellite. Both of them, intrigued by that bizarre behaviour, instinctively, also turned in the same direction. What they saw after a few moments, left them both breathless. An abnormal glow seemed to wrap around the moon. A brilliant white light, that extended about ten times the diameter of the satellite, then formed a sort of crown around it. It only lasted a few seconds, but it was almost as if another sun had suddenly appeared in the sky at dusk, illuminating the whole area with a decidedly unnatural light.

'But what on earth ...' managed only to whisper the stunned Colonel.

About A Second Remaining El Capitan

Just as it had appeared, the abnormal light vanished, and everything seemed to return exactly as it was before. The moon was still there, and the sun lazily continued its descent behind the dunes silhouetted against the horizon.

'What was that?' asked Elisa in amazement.

'I haven’t the faintest idea.'

'For a moment I feared the moon had exploded.'

'It really was quite incredible' exclaimed the Colonel while, with his open hand resting above his eyebrows, he scanned the clear sky looking for clues.

'Azakis.... Petri...' said Elisa suddenly. 'Something must have happened to them, I can feel it.'

'Go on, give over. Perhaps it was just the effect of their ship’s engines starting.'

'It’s not possible. That seemed like a real explosion. You should know more than me about these things, no?'

'Darling' the Colonel said patiently. 'To see the effects of an explosion like that from all this distance, there would have to have been at least a hundred atomic bombs explode simultaneously on the moon or maybe even a thousand.'

'So, what happened then?'

'We could try asking our military friends. After all I am still part of ELSAD. With all that equipment always pointing at the sky, an event of this kind will not have escaped them for sure.”

'Even Lulù noticed it.'

'I think this kitten is much smarter than the two of us put together.'

'Felines are a superior race,' said Elisa as she picked the kitten up again. 'Had you still not realised?'

'Yeah. I think the ancient Egyptians adored them too, almost like deities.'

'Exactly, my love,' said Elisa, happy that the discussion had moved into a field in which she was well versed. 'Bastet, for example, was one of the most important and venerated deities of ancient Egyptian religion, depicted as or with the appearance of a woman with a cat’s head or directly as a cat. Originally Bastet was a deity of the solar cult, but with time she became more and more a goddess of the lunar cult. When Greek influence extended to Egyptian society, Bastet permanently became a lunar Goddess, as the Greeks identified her with Artemis, the personification of the ‘Rising Moon’.'

“Okay, okay. Thank you for the lesson, eminent doctor' said Jack ironically, emphasizing the phrase with a slight bow. 'But now let’s try and understand what the devil just happened up there. I’ll make a couple of phone calls.'

'Any time darling, I’m always here for you,' replied Elisa, gradually raising her voice as the Colonel walked away in the direction of the laboratory tent.

Lulù, calm once again, her eyes closed, was enjoying the petting her human friend was dispensing without parsimony.
