...(static)...unbelievable. It is a local disturbance of unknown origin. They say

Al Qahira, are you still on duty?

I touched one of the eggs. Nothing happened. I don't know why I was worried at
all. They are empty, and there is no sign that they are linked to any trap either.
There is no reaction when I touch them. It's absolutely quiet in here.
"No, Elder Brother. It's definitely not a computer screen, though it's mainly made of
glass. That was question number eight, wasn't it?"
Elder Brother and I are still playing that Twenty Question game. It still makes fun,
and I really wonder if EB will find out that this glass is just Dr. D's glasses.
Dr.D, maybe you are right, that's really a tough question.
Zachary came back. He brought Sojourner. Do you know what we found hooked to
the rear anchor of the vehicle? A piece of that cloth. It seems that Zachary
snapped it off when he shook one of the cloth things. We will give a sample
to Sojourner to analyze, so we can learn more about it.
"Come on, Zachary. Let's go back to the eggs."
JASE, I am genuinely shocked. We have to do something right away about Hamlet.
We can't let him be hurt or killed, no matter what.
I have thought long and hard about this. I can only think of one thing that
I can possibly do to help. If my plan works, I don't know if I will ever be
able to talk to you again.
I am going to talk to Miss Chang and arrange a trade. If she will let Hamlet
go free and unharmed, then I will give her my control codes.
When I went up the shaft, the vehicle had to detour twice before we got through.
I couldn't see much, because of the bubbles, but I guess that the shaft is not
regularly shaped. Koala, I'm close to believing that this shaft has a natural
origin. What's your opinion?
Afterwards, Enoch and I went over to these black eggs. They have very strong shells.
I took one to the vehicle and tried to cut it open with the laser. It hardly made a
mark. Also, we found out that the eggs differ in size, so we put them in order.
Doing so, we learned that only few of them are broken. Most of them show no sign
of damage. Their openings have regular edges, so we abandoned our theory
that they are really eggs.
Then we started to experiment with their size. Enoch scanned them, so we easily
could put them into a new order without having to move them physically. We
rearranged their order over and over again. Then knew what they are. It hit us
like a lightning bolt. I will send
you the image.
Any suggestion what we should do next?
