Like every morning, Benjamin gathers data about the measurements, weight, brain wakefulness, tension, and pulse of the crew. He now has enough data to start analyzing his CFFF-cortical arousal graphics.
A part of the crew went on EVA at 9 am. Fortunately, we didn’t have problems with the battery of the rovers.
Nathan, Benjamin, and Carl went to a special region to find evidence of ancient life.
We climbed the hill and walked in the canyons. This site is quite far from the station. Unfortunately, despite an intense search of a part of the Special Region, we weren’t able to find any trace of ancient life.
We found the entrance of what seemed to be a grand cavity which can be used as a shelter in case of strong solar winds.
