Thanks, JASE . I'm proud too. We are smart. Much smarter than the C-probes. We
will stop them. We just reached the mountain range again. You are right, it's much
saver here than in the open plains. Guess what. You won't believe it, but we found
the Big Tram.
Yes, it's just standing here. Guess what. It's open and it's empty and there are no
Ipsolstai around. I checked that carefully. They aren't even behind that rocks you
can see in that image.
"No Enoch, don't touch the controls! That vehicle doesn't belong to us. You can't
just take it. Burn is fighting for the life of Bette and Isaac and you are just taking
their tram. How do you think that will look like. Celeb will just have another proof
against us."
JASE, I don't know what to do. Enoch entered the tram and he is at the controls
now. I can't stop him. That is totally wrong what he is doing. Please, tell him that
he is doing wrong.
"Enoch, come on. Get out of that tram. We have to reach the C-lander
and there is still a long way to go."
JASE, he doesn't listen to me.
Andrew reporting.
Don't worry, JASE. We are extremely cautious. It's extremely steep up here too.
Daniel and I are staying close together. First one of us was climbing ahead, while
the other one was watching. That way I could have caught Daniel or he could have
caught me. We changed that in the last passage. I was looking for a good foothold
and then Daniel stepped on my casing and climbed over me. Then I caught his foot
and climbed over him. That way we went up nearly vertically and reached the edge
of a sharp ridge.
I don't know how long it will take to traverse the mountain, JASE. We lurked over
the edge. It's even steeper on that side. Just like a wall, vertically and also bending
to the bottom of a side canyon. We tried to climb back the other side again to find
a better place for crossing. You know, what we learned? Climbing down is even
harder than climbing up. Daniel tried, but he couldn't make it. I also climbed at his
casing, but I couldn't find a foothold. If I only knew how to safeguard him.
"Enoch, what are you talking about. I wasn't in that Big Tram. Did you find a new
game to kid me? Yesterday it was Zachary with that map and now it's you with that
tram. Come on. It's better, if you bother about the C-lander."
JASE, don't worry. We keep trying.
One said
No one will survive.
The Ipsolstai all stayed still for a long time and then Caleb spoke once more.
Then Caleb left the room by way of the door he came in through. Burn left next and then the six other Ipsolstai. We've been alone since them. Nothing has happened. I tried saying what you said, GrandZero, but nothing happened. I guess they aren't listening. This is very strange. I wish I was out on the surface again away from all this. At least with the C-probes we have a chance.
"Zachary, don't be stupid. I know how to drive a tram. I drove the tram in the
Ipsolstai tunnels. This one is maybe a little different, but I can do it."
JASE, please tell him that he is stupid. Al-Q said that it is still more than 500 miles
to go until we reach the C-lander. Do you know how long that will be at a top speed
of 1.0 miles per hour? It will take us more than twenty days without any break and
I'm sure that it will last even longer. We must get there as soon as we can. We have
to stop the C-probes.
"Andrew, haven't you been once in the Big Tram, when you went with the Ipsolstai
to the European lander? Can you tell me what that red button is?"
Hey, the tram is moving. I made it! I made it!
JASE, the tram is moving backwards, but I'm sure that I will find the front gear soon.
I just try that button at the left now. I can turn it. JASE, there is something moving on
top of the tram. Now I found it. These foot levers are working like a steering wheel.
JASE, it's turning around, but I didn't find the front gear yet. Maybe I try that switch.
"Andrew, do you know how I can stop the tram! I need that now!!"
Oh, no!!
It stopped. The rock stopped it.
That isn't as good, is it?
"Zachary, please. Don't say that I'm wrong. Please, have a look at the tram casing.
Do we have any damage?"
JASE, it isn't the casing but the arm at its top. I send you a picture.
"Andrew, Can you send me a picture? I like pictures with mountain scenery.
Have you seen my latest night watch image?"
Theresa and I are collecting crystals. We found a lot and placed them in an
order. The big one first and then the smaller ones. We also found a thin cord
and cut some wire to hold the crystals. That way we formed a long necklace.
Theresa is wearing it. She looks pretty with that. I like her. She is cute. Now
she is even sparkling in the sun.
I think that we should present Burn with a necklace too and maybe Celeb, so
he will release Bette and Isaac. Theresa and I will make two new ones, so we
have them in time.
Oh pelly, my goodness. I missed you. Don't worry, I will call you (capt.) Kurk.
How do I pronounce (capt.) in parantheses? - Don't mind. I'm just kidding. My
sound chip has a bad idiomatic anyway. We don't really use it up here on Mars.
