It was almost four hours before the Icarus retrieved the last crystal; in the end they had retrieved three of the four possible. The Privas five probe had miraculously retrieved the crystal before the DGM's alignment cycle overlapped its position and they had successfully retrieved it in orbit. The Privas four Probe had been easy enough to retrieve; it had just taken a long time for the probe to get in position. The Privas one probe had successfully extracted the crystal from the DGM and had made it to the surface of the tiny planet, however the gravitational fluctuations at the heart of the cluster were too great and the cylinder had been knocked off course and collided with Privas three.

The door to the cockpit hisses as George enters, 'I opened the cylinders and secured the crystals in the cargo hold'.

George moves to the co-pilot's seat beside Jack and sits down. 'Good', Jack replies as he pulls the Icarus out of orbit around the Privas cluster and heads for the Jumpgate visible in the distance. 'Are they giving off any weird readings?'

'A moderately repulsive electromagnetic field, nothing major, but I don't think we should touch those things with anything conductive. My hair stood on end when I entered the cargo bay and it felt like it was going to all fly off when I picked the things up with the insulated tongs.'

'That could be a problem, but let's worry about that when we get back to the Graf Zeppelin. For now, let's concentrate on getting back home.'

George sighs, 'I don't suppose we have another JHC just lying around?'

Jack chuckles, 'no, sorry. We have to travel back the old fashioned way I'm afraid'.

'Bother', George looks slightly green at the thought of the four hour journey back to the Graf Zeppelin.

'I'll take it slower this time George, we have plenty of time to get back'. Jack looks thoughtful for a second, 'why don't you go over the initial scans of the crystals, it might take your mind off things for a while.'

George nods slowly, 'good idea', he replies as he brings up the data on his console.
