-Yes, I do, over. - although Waterford had an atmosphere, it was dangerously thin and by no means breathable. Hence radiotransmission was the easiest way to communicate, and after the communication difficulties experienced on Waterford, Alexander didn't want to take the chance of possibly misinterpreting anything.
-The cave is located 4 clicks to the southeast from here. We could walk since the gravitation is tolerable, but I doubt we want to do that in these suits... - he said, pointing towards the Equinox, towards the hangar which held his X-Shuttle, but then he saw the stunning scenery of the ice field for what it was -...but I think that won't be that much a problem after all.
He quickly headed away from the Equinox, with the others following him behind. While the ground was by nowhere near flat, it was enough so to allow a moderate speed of progress. It only took fifteen minutes to reach the caves.
