North East Station : QADR Wing - Mars
GMT 5:30 hrs
There was nothing much to do except to wait. They needed Quoletein. Their people needed it back on Earth. People on earth had another 6 months before it would all come down.
Chris looked through the window on the side of his docking station. The scenery had always been the same. It has been 51 days since Crew-2 had taken the rover to the MALM Wing on Mars to look for fuel.
They had landed on the QADR wing on Mars 67 earlier. The remote research and the robots sent on the mission had confirmed the presence of Quoletein on this section of Mars. The Mission had been completed easily and without any problem. They were a day away from returning when the debris hit their fuel compartment. The surface started bubbling, almost as if it was boiling.
I could not write much or make a lot of sense on this one. SciFi is not my genre but I still chose it as, hey it's a writing challenge and I need to challenge myself right?
