“I saw⟳ some pretty big ruins near the place⟳ we set⟳ down. Perhaps natives are still living in them or they might be empty, but the beacon could be for the use⟳ of a xenoarcheological research⟳ post⟳.”

““Permission to jettison waste⟳,” Bradley asks in a transparent effort to attract⟳ the Commander’s attention. If the Ensign has a weakness, it’s this wanting to be noticed by superiors. I look⟳ round to see⟳ who’ll explain⟳ what he’s talking about. He does the honors himself. “After the water is salvaged, our wastes, including the carbon from the air, get⟳ compressed and jettisoned. No room for fancy recycling gear.” “Hang⟳ on to it,” the Old Man says. He turns to me. “Can’t you picture it? The mother plowing along in norm surrounded by a cloud of shit canisters.” He smiles, munches his apple. Just when I give⟳ up on hearing the rest⟳, he says, “A million years from now an alien civilization will find⟳ one. It’ll be the biggest puzzle in their xenoarcheological museum. I can see⟳ them putting in fifty thousand creature hours trying to figure⟳ out its religious significance.””

These objects appear⟳ to have⟳ "sails" or "wings" attached, allowing them to be borne aloft by Anjea's winds. While they are too deep to be reached for study⟳, popular conjecture in xenoarcheological circles holds that they are "coffins" of an ancient race⟳ who laid their dead to rest⟳ in the gas giant.”

“Taking a step forward⟳, Nozawa rested her hands on the red handrail that separated the rear consoles from the command center. “They look⟳ like⟳ the remains of an ancient city. So there must have⟳ been life on LC-13-II, a civilization even.” Excitedly she turned to face⟳ Haden. “Sir, with your permission I’d like⟳ to inspect⟳ those more thoroughly. This might be a xenoarcheological find⟳ of epic proportions.””
