11:18 Days on Mars |
Day 21 “I need go back on Phobos,” Kelly said firmly the next day. We looked at her in surprise. "Where? Where" Paul even stopped chewing a sandwich. "On Phobos. I forgot something there,” Kelly repeated, “Jason, will you give the Invincible?” she looked intently at Jason. “Take it, of course,” Jason agreed surprisingly easily. "Are you serious?" Paul exclaimed, "Are you crazy all? What's wrong with you? What a fuck Phobos. Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? Kelly, what's wrong with you?" " Will you fly by yourself or take someone with you?" It seemed that Jason and Kelly knew something that we did not know. "If someone agrees, I will not mind." "Okay, damn it. We are flying!" Paul said and looked first at me then at Steven. I didn’t even say anything. Combat space crew, in a word. "Fly," Steven agreed, "For how long" he asked. “As it happens,” Kelly answered. I exchanged glances with Steven. Everything was clear to me, that nothing was clear. Anyway. In my heart I consoled myself with the fact that if something goes wrong, I can return to Mars with the help of a spacesuit. This is in case if we get knocked down again. We took everything we needed and in half an hour we were already in the orbit of Mars. "I feel like an almost Martian taxi driver. I drive you back and forth," Steven joked. I smiled involuntarily. We were all interested to know why Kelly needed to fly to Phobos, but for some reason no one dared to ask her about it. She was silent too. In order to occupy myself with something, I was filming the approaching Phobos. Forty minutes later we were flying above the surface of the satellite of Mars. "Where?" Steven just asked. “There,” Kelly answered immediately and pointed a finger at the screen. It seemed that she knew exactly where she needed to go. "Here! Get down, do not fly further!" she suddenly exclaimed. Steven silently led the Invincible to the landing. A few more minutes and we were already on Phobos. It was already starting to seem to me that our team seemed to be divided. We got Phobos, the rest of us got Mars. "What's next?" Paul asked. "Door. There should be a door ... and here it is," Kelly jerked to the rock, in which there were uneven lines. Part of the rock split and we saw the entrance. Rather, it was not a rock, but something more like an artificial structure, covered from time to time with a thick layer of dust. “What? Do you want to go inside?” Paul asked anxiously in his voice. “What if the door closes behind us and doesn’t open.” “Everything will be fine,” Kelly assured us and went inside. We followed her. After a few steps, we got into a spacious room, in which there were some devices and installations. It makes no sense to describe them, because in human language there are no such words to correctly convey what they looked like. Here comes the expression: "it is better to see once than hear a hundred times." Everything was alien, unearthly, unusual. We did not even have time to look around, as we were surrounded from all sides by some creatures. Everything has shrunk inside me. “We are in troubles,” I heard Paul’s quiet voice behind me. |
