18:39 Days on Mars |
Day 5
All day we searched for Steven but with no result. Toward evening, he came himself. “Oh, who came to us,” Alex exclaimed with relief, “decided play in scout? Where have you been? Why didn’t get in touch? You know we already thought that with you happened something very bad.” “I’m alive,” Steven said, coming closer and shaking hands with the guys. “We are glad that you are here,” Iren exclaimed without hiding her joy. She seemed was ready to throw herself on his neck, but with difficulty restrained herself. We were even surprised that she was so violently showing her joy. We were also glad to see him, but somehow restrained our emotions. “It's all because of her,” Steven nodded to Khana. The dog wagged its tail. “Run in, grabbed my sleeve with her teeth and dragged me along. Then she suddenly started barking somewhere, pushed me into a ravine, and she ran away.” “Did you sit all night in the ravine?” Jason asked. “Well, yes. For some reason there was no connection. I tried to get out, it didn’t work. It seems to be a shallow depth, but the walls are loose. Each time I fell down. Just today I thought of digging a few stones, put in a pile and climb up. Otherwise, I would have sat further in the pit. What do you have here? Christine? Found? Where they found you?” he asked Christine when he saw the girl. “She got lost,” Paul answered instead of her. “Clearly. When I was sitting at the bottom of the pit at night I changed my mind,” Steven continued.“I think someone is here.” “Well, yes,” Paul smiled, “we are here.” “Do not scare the girls,” Jason objected, “no one is here. But if even so, we have the same rights to Mars as everyone who flew here. Heard about the law of the sea? Mars is nobody's. Who got here is the master.” “I'm not talking about this,” Steven objected, “maybe some creatures. Animals. They live in holes, for example.” “You about the tablet? It does not give you rest?” “What else is the tablet?” Steven asked. “Show him.” Mary brought Steven the found tablet. “Khana brought it,” she explained. Steven took the tablet in his hands and began to carefully examine it. “Sounds like an inscription,” he said. “Yes, but who wrote? How long and when?” Jason asked. At that moment, Khana grabbed the tablet with her teeth and ran away. No one even had time to say a word.
