A few hours later the small group arrived at the Equinox. The crew was still busy transporting the ice to one of the labs of the ship.
Alexander and the professor accompanied the captain to the bridge.
They started to analyze the radar profile, and the pictures they took in the caves, which were now on the main monitor.
-We need to gather some of that water too, captain! We need to examine that too! - the professor was a bit enthusiastic about the whole research.
-Indeed captain, that could help us a lot. - nodded Alexander.
-But we don't have the necessary equipment to reach more than 20 kilometers depth! Believe me, I would be already out there gathering you that water if I could do it! We can't go in there with any type of vehicle, as the tunnel is so small. - Roy was a bit angry for this two men as they wanted him to accomplish the impossible.
-Okay, than it's time to make it bigger. - said Alexander with ease.
-No way, we can't destroy those miracles! - reacted the professor.
-Let's try to figure out what we can with the stuff we already gathered, and think about this question later, okay? Let's get to the labs.
The two others nodded and followed the captain down to the laboratory, where the scientists of the Equinox and Sebastian have already started to examine the gathered materials.
Ãgnes Nagy, material scientist of the Equinox already started to analyze the yellowish material which can be found almost everywhere on the planet.
-Anything interesting Ãgnes? -asked her the captain, as they entered.
-Not yet. Still working on it, but my guess is quiet simple. I think it's no more than simple sulfur. Just like in the atmosphere. But I'll be able to give you a detailed report in an hour or so.
-Okay, send it to the professor, as fast as you get it. We can't stay too long on the planet. Sebastian, have you found anything?
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
