I'll introduce them to you when we go in farther," he replied after acknowledging each of the introductions. "The storm has likely found its peak. They sound worse than they are but its a heck of a job digging out the instruments afterwards." He pointed to the bank of equipment. "Much of that is packed. Just what you see is still out. It shouldn't be more than a few hours to pack it up. What'll delay us is the storm for getting them over to the shuttle." He tossed his robe onto a hook with some others on pegs beside it. "How was the trip down by the way?"

Iron ore that as it is laid down angles itself to the planetary magnetic field forming a mosaic that would take your breath away." Jared chuckled as he leaned over to brush dust from his thick trousers. "If you're a geologist that is."

: Jared called over into the entry, "Dotto!"
:
: A moment later a figure appeared. He was a stocky, pale blue-skinned Bolian with a bulbous nose and prominent ridge. "Yeah Jared?" he asked.
:
: "Wanna show our friends here the equipment to start with and get things packed to move once the storm abates?" The Bolian shrugged. "Sure."
:
: Sorting out the two, Rosson and Kasumi, the Bolian introduced himself. "I'm Dotto. This here stuff needs packing up," he said pointing to the pile of equipment. "Cases are down in an inner chamber. Just need to haul them up and stuff them in." With that he would lead the two in and down an oval, mostly natural tube to a definitely artificial, cut out chamber. In it was stacked bulky, equipment cases. "There's a cart here," he said. "One of you can do the cart and the other can help me haul a couple by hand."

Jaya piped up "Well sounds like a plan." as she walked over to a couple of racks of samples that were still on the counter and looked for an empty box to put them into. "Make sure you enter into the log what you put in each box and then which crate the box goes in."
