      Martian Arctic Discovery

      Prologue

      Martian Arctic Discovery

      Kershaw rested his spacesuit glove lightly over what looked like strange perfectly flat black rock embedded in the Martian soil and rubbed its surface, and realized perfectly flat rock was in reality common, and wondered what the hell Hadfield thought it could be and why he had taken them to it, and it seemed stupid thinking it was anything.

      Again he searched the bright sunny landscape, searching for water, which they could also boil into air someday, and ice to melt into water, and he searched the whole region.

      Kershaw tried feeling it again with another finger, where his glove was worn, and more firmly, and felt a pulsating vibration blasting out from something, still surprised there was something there, and for a moment he thought it came from deep below, and it was as if it was alive, and Franklin copied him.

      It has to be a natural disturbance … Franklin announced, wondering what the hell Commander Hadfield thought it was, and baffled by it, seeming to be artificial, but they knew there was volcanic stuff there, and surely tremors.

      "It could be one of many phenomena on Mars … Hadfield replied first, studying it closer. We still know little of this world, and its differences to the Earth …

      Kershaw nodded, and wondered why it was so unique anyway, and why he thought it was anything, and realized how the strange world and all the occurrences that led up to their Mars mission could affect them.

      Kershaw thought of what Hadfield had said and felt it again and gasped at how mathematically precise its pulsations were, and he could not recall a natural phenomenon like it, and he wondered what the hell it could be anyhow, if was not a natural occurrence.

      Alright! Kershaw moaned. I’ll help dig it up! We’ll see what we can find …

      Franklin moved in close, and whispered through his communicator to just him, We could’ve found someone else’s stuff … Like something put here to check this place … We don’t have proof that all the stuff recorded as being sent here is everything that’s here … The world is a big place … There are countries and others putting satellites and stuff up in orbit and into space around the Earth and everywhere. So why not here …

      What do you reckon we have though? he muttered back, trying to get something.

      "Could even be the remains of someone’s equipment doing something … I don’t have a clue what …"

      Why’s it here though? At this location … Or is there something actually here? Was it embedded like this?

      It could have fallen down, from away up in orbit …

      So it could be a strange satellite carrying out a function, which crashed down, perhaps at high speed, going around in orbit, and has become embedded in the ground … In that case it should be easy to dig out from here …

      Correct! Or it could be a natural occurrence here …

      Hadfield removed a small spade and started digging away the sand about it, and Kershaw watched how much he insisted it was something, wondering what he was not saying, and he was sure he was keeping something a secret from them and he considered if it was something and if it was worth something back on the Earth.

      He could recall some of the others reacting to there being things of value on the world, which they could get, and yet they were fantasies, and he wondered if the world had anything of value to NASA, as it was desolate and the high cost of the missions to Mars might make everything there of low value.

      What left him staggered was the way the others one by one started helping dig around the object, Hadfield was starting to uncover, which now looked to him to be a large boulder, but its perfectly symmetrical shape became more and more clearer and Kershaw eventually joined in scraping away dirt from it with his spacesuit glove.

      It seems intact! one astronaut finally announced, after almost thirty minutes of them silently cleaning and digging it up.

      The astronauts formed a perfect circle around it and stood glaring at it, wondering what was beneath their feet and dirt still concealing it, and Kershaw watched some of them using valuable water to clean away dirt from areas of its surface to reveal what was there, and they studied it up close.

      Suddenly, Franklin stood upright, and muttered to him, This shouldn’t be implanted in the ground like this!

      Kershaw touched the bare surface of the object, where Franklin had just placed his gloved hand, and he was staggered that there was actually something firmly there, and now far definitely there than before, and he tried to identify what it was or was roughly like, through his spacesuit glove, and was only left more confused.

      Rock on its surface could be decades old! Franklin declared to Kershaw, gasping.

      The others copied them and brushed their gloved hands over the region of the object, and felt and studied the pulsating thudding from deep in its interior, as if it was alive, or a highly advanced technology of an advanced technology.

      Shuttle Crash

      The Orion shuttle came crashing down from the Martian Arctic night sky and all the astronauts became fully aware of what was occurring when loud explosions and blinding flashes discharged.

      The shuttle’s emergency automated landing thrusters instantly initiated and saved their lives, but the astronauts scarcely grasped what
