Cruising along... |
At the edge of the canyon, the scientists get out of the vehicle to stretch their legs and have a look at the canyon. They also need to decide which survey site they will visit next.
The discussion begins. |
Dr.
William Hurst: "Well, site T-2-A is closest in distance due East, but
the terrain is pretty rough so it will take us about two hours longer
than it would to go to T-3-B which is straight West."
Dr.
Debra Stanton: "That sounds more appealing to me. Maybe the shuttle's
maintenance will be done by then and it can lift us to the other sites."
Dr.
Victor Johnson: "The satellite team shows the movement of some
hazardous bios that will be in our path if we go West. I know its a
faster trip, but may not be worth the risk right now. These are very
large worms that are known to be aggressive."

Dr. Victor Johnson: "And the larvae have a very phallic appearance. Locals have taken to calling them P-Worms. They will attack just about anything that moves."

Each team member imagines the attack. |
Dr. Pam Talley: "East. I don't won't to be remembered in a company dispatch as the team that was eaten by a very large..."
Dr. Debra Stanton: "Willy?"
Dr. William Hurst: "Definitely East. I have no desire to tangle with a huge worm that looks like a..."
Dr. Debra Stanton: "Johnson?"
Dr. Victor Johnson: "I vote East."
Dr. Debra Stanton: "Alright, that's four votes for East. Let's mount up and get out of here."
And so the team headed East.
