Gordon and Alice ran in the direction of the rover, the white veil was thickening and Gordon could see nothing ahead. Alice stumbled and fell, shrieking "Gordon!", he did not hesitate and unhooked the carbine from the rest of the team, helped her to get up and quickly ran in the direction of the rover. The rumbling increased, the ground seemed to shake "Where are you guys?!" shouted Gordon desperately over the radio, having lost his bearings. A moment later he saw a faint glow "We're moving up the rover in your direction, jump in!" said Mateo on the radio. Alice and Gordon ran towards the light and in 2 meters jumped into the rover. Dylan closed the door and the car sped away. It seemed that the rover would be torn apart, the surface of the area was not favourable for fast driving. Mateo steered the rover higher up the slope, trying to miss the impact of the snow wave.
Gordon looked around not believing his eyes, they had escaped the inevitable "I don't think I'll ever set foot on this planet again" he said "You're damn right" remarked Mateo "They should give us a threefold raise after all this, nobody said the planet would try to kill us" Gordon grinned and said "I had a bad feeling about it, so did e Alice. Let's hope it's all behind us now. How are we doing on the route, are we on track?" Mateo nodded affirmatively, inviting me to read the information on the display "Oh, right on track. We're lucky."
Moving further towards one of the main generator crash points, the team steadily climbed upwards and had already passed the thick clouds, presenting a dazzling view of the Tadmura tops, the light reflecting off the surface of the snow dazzled the travelers.
Mateo continued to drive the rover, Gordon helping him navigate. After a few kilometers they were almost at the point, the team saw the wreckage of a generator that rose several stories above the snow "What a huge thing" remarked Alice, Gordon tried to see the outline, identifying which part of the generator was in front of them "It's hard to tell what it is exactly. Mateo, park nearby and let's go check it out."
They left the rover and walked in the direction, looking around and scanning the space around them. Finding nothing that could be useful they approached the generator hulk "There's a corridor just above me, I think." Gordon chimed in. Alice stepped closer "Push me over there, I'll try to get in there. With your build you probably won't fit through there" she remarked. Gordon gave her a push, himself continuing to look round the hulk of the generator. "It's all burnt, we won't find anything on the outside." Alice, creeping further down the burnt corridor, saw half the door open. With difficulty, but she managed to push its flap inside the wall. Distinctly it was formerly a technical room, something like an emergency control panel, but now it was a mess of junk, wires, and microcircuits burnt up in unremarkable mess. Amongst the mess, she found some sort of media and went back inside, carefully jumping down "I found something. Some kind of data storage." Gordon ran up and inspected them "No visible damage... Good job, let's try to hook them up to the rover." The team wandered around some more and after finding nothing worthwhile returned to the rover.
Gordon impatiently went to the power stand and plugged them into the internal mains. "Well let's see what we've got here. Expectedly, it's all encrypted." Gordon applied the key that had been given to him earlier and went through the contents of the drives "Technical records of equipment statuses..." he said frustrated. "Well that leaves one last point. Although this data can be useful for the scientists too." he looked at Mateo "But it's just the two of us going there. It's too dangerous to leave the rover, and there will be a dangerous road further on" Alice objected "You are missing the most point, dear. I'm not leaving you behind."
