[B:] Putting the MEM in automatic mode for EVA. [S:] Confirmed. [S:] Pressure test is Go for both our suits. [B:] Confirmed. [B:] Telemetry is Go. Are we ready? [S:] More than ready. Let's roll! We have 10 minutes before Earth begins to interrupt. [Chorus:] First sunrise of Spring upon the ice. A million flowers of frost are diamond bright. But in short minutes they sublime away, As shimmering vapors mount unto the sky. [B:] Houston: We have adequate visibility to complete the mission. But there is bright mist everywhere. And refraction makes it seem like the whole land is moving. [S:] You did not mention the wind. [B:] I didn't want them to order us back. [S:] We've come so far! [Chorus:] A cold wind rises as the vapors pour. The ice awakes, and starts to groan and sing. [S:] Let's shelter in the canyon. It may be quiet there. [B:] We need to take some pictures, and check it for stratigraphy. [Chorus:] A crack rings out upon the canyon floor, and water gushes from an icy spring. [B/S:] Houston! We have liquid water, upon the surface! [B:] It seems to be a temporary stream; it's soaking in, and freezing fast. Quick, before it freezes up, I'll take a sample. We've come so far. [S:] Water. I cannot believe our luck. [B:] I really want to touch it; to dip my hand into the spring. [S:] Stop; stop! You know it's death if you unlock your glove! You cannot touch it with your hand. [B:] So close, and yet so far!
