Sydney initially acts suspicious until assured the relics are for a museum as rich Indian entrepreneur Bobby Green wants to hire her to look for a mysterious tribe's atypical sanctuary from a 'cargo culture' that apparently venerates aliens, apparently since a meteor cataclysm six centuries ago, bringing a totem carving from his tribal reserve. Indeed Nigel and she dig up a metal plate with similar markings there. Before they can finish the dig, which is shielded by the tribal sheriff Dark Feather, the collector insists they meet at the airstrip, but is himself arrested by Major James Hillhurst's mysterious NIA agency, charged with covering up alien evidence, which even has access to satellite surveillance, while the reserve police now saves them from apprehension.
