can you do, it is what it is . He knows he can’t really try doing any doughnuts with all the eyes and ears on them. Maybe later!
They drive off in the battery powered rover, taking in the spectacular sights, with a massive Jupiter peeking slightly up on the horizon; they seem to be driving right into it. Some of the terrain is very smooth, but other areas are quite challenging and bumpy; much to the delight of Turk, but not so much to Evans.
There is so much to take in visually, yet they need to keep an eye on the instrument panel, specifically watching the readings of the ice penetrating radar that estimates the thickness of the ice they are driving over. They are looking for the best place to drill their hole down into the Great Schmidt Lake.
     
After a bit over an hour of exploring, they have located their prime spot. They found a deep wide groove that is traversable with the rover, while pulling the Nuclear Heated Torpedo Probe. This torpedo probe will be used to drill down through the ice.
“Yes, this should do nicely,” Juliana says while setting up a surface monitoring device. “The ice is at least 450 meters thinner here, which should shave off a few hours of drilling.”
“Great,” says Turk pulling the rover up to where Juliana is. “Is that thing all set? We need to get back to Eagle-2. We have less than 45 minutes of air left.”
“Yes, all s-- Jeez, do you feel that?” She grabs the tripod stand of the monitoring device to steady herself.
Turk, who is sitting in the rover’s driver seat just looks at her strangely and says, “Feel what? I don’t feel anything. Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine… but it felt like the ground was shaking,” she responds, gesturing down to the ground.
“Hmmm, I didn’t feel anything; maybe you just got a little dizzy. Check your oxygen mixture,” Turk suggests, seemingly throwing out a random suggestion.
“It’s NOT my oxygen; the ground moved, I swear it.” Evans retorts, a little annoyed at him.
“Okay, okay,” Turk hops out of the rover and stands as still as possible. “I still don’t feel anything…”
“I guess it’s gone now. Maybe I was dizzy… I don’t know... no, I don’t feel anything now.” She starts to climb into the rover. “That was just a weird feeling though. Okay, let’s go.”
Turk punches the accelerator again and gets going as fast as he can, to make it up the slippery slope of the groove they are in. It jerks to the right and then slips to the left, as the wheels spin on the ice, spitting out tails of crystalized snow. He spins the steering wheel one way, then the other, as he fights to get them up to the top.
“Come on Bessie!” he shouts, as they are almost to the top but almost stopped also, all four wheels spinning and causing them to slip all around. Finally the front wheels reach the top and somehow find enough traction to pull them out. As the back wheels lurch over the lip of the incline, and with the accelerator still punched to the floor, the rover does a complete 360 degree spin, much to the delight of Turk.
“Yee-Ha!” he shouts as he straightens it out and heads in the direction of Eagle-2.
“Yeah… somehow I knew you’d find a way to do that! Now I am dizzy,” Juliana says while shaking her head.
Turk just smiles and says, “Oh, sorry, that was totally an accident I assure you!”
“Ah huh… whatever you say Lieutenant. All I know, is that my bio-waste container is full, and I really need to, well, relieve myself, and that sure didn’t help matters any!” Evans says, realizing after she said it that it is now recorded for generations to come.
“Well, sorry about that. Maybe you should lay off the liquids,” he suggests.
“Jeez, I barely drank half of my water supply today,” she starts explaining, then decides to change subjects, “you know… I really don’t want to discuss this on the com. ”
Turk just laughs and then announces on the public com band, “Eagle-2, this is EVA Team 2, we
