Episode 0899 - The North Axis:
Leila, Selina, Tetra, Vanna, ~ 04

{Airbase ~ 4}
``Vanna: If you are game, we could take a short trip over to North Axis! ``Tetra: Zaa. ``Selina: Why not? ``Leila: I have already agreed to it, so I too am getting worse. ``Vanna: Let us hop up to Cosmo.

{Cosmo. Local flight to North Axis. ~ 4}
``Tetra: Course laid in for North Axis. We may need an update and a fresh scan, because it is limited on accuracy. ``Vanna: Unlocking orbit and Mach 4. ``Tetra: It will take an hour. ``Vanna: Fine. You have time to track and up date. ``Tetra: It will not show the other side of our planet, so it will have to be scanned. ``Selina: Take your time, and do it, as this will be an interesting project. ``Leila: We do not have much data in our library. ``Tetra: Okay we can do an orbit, and I will scan the lot. ``Leila: I will make us a drink. ``Selina: Can you manage? ``Leila: I could do with some help and we can watch it on the smart screen.

``Tetra: That is all done, and the NAV computer has accepted the updates. ``Vanna: Okay, it is Ziggy time folks. ``Tetra: It already feels colder. ``Vanna: I am waiting for Ziggy to warm up, as it is reading -20ºC. I have the heater booster on. ``Selina: I need it. ``Leila: I am feeling the biting cold. ``Vanna: Okay down we go. ``Tetra: I am tracking our descent. ``Vanna: 600m and let us take a wander around. ``Leila: It says it is -55ºC. ``Vanna: I thought it was going to be colder than that. ``Selina: Those Snow caps are huge. ``Vanna: We cannot get too close as the heat from Ziggy could start a landslide. ``Tetra: There is their usual, landing spot. ``Vanna: Okay, dropping down, down. ``Leila: It has gone down to -62ºC. ``Vanna: That is more like it. I would suggest no more than 5 units, and naturally Ziggy remains in warming mode.

``Selina: The snow on the ground is like packed iced. ``Leila: It is very crispy. ``Tetra: I have taken some visual and I suggest we have a warm up. ``Vanna: Zaa, back to Ziggy. ``Leila: The air is very thin. ``Vanna: We have additional oxygen if you need it. ``Selina: I might as well. ``Vanna: Mum, control your breathing. ``Selina: I think that will do us for this qef. ``Tetra: Checking co-ordinates for Cosmo. Blimey I can feel some heat at last. ``Vanna: I am lifting off, and we can take a flight around this side. ``Leila: It is an amazing sight and the river is frozen solid. ``Selina: It is just different shades of whites. ``Vanna: Okay up we go. --- Docking with Cosmo. [Clonk] Check list Tetra? ``Tetra: Zaa Vanna. We have to wait 2 units, and then there is a specific order as to check certain instruments and gauges. Then we have to manually check the crystals. --- All okay. ``Vanna: Booster off, and powering down. ``Tetra: Hatches secured. ``Selina: It is nice to be back in side Cosmo. ``Leila: I still feel chilly. ``Selina: There is a hot snack waiting for us in the Mess. ``Vanna: Wonderful and some hot drinks.

{Vanna's Trullo ~ 4}
``Vanna: I will call you, if we get some results. ``Leila: Certus, zimo. ``Tetra: That cold goes straight through you! ``Selina: That is why they only visit in our hot period. ``Vanna: We have done it again, being first. ``Selina: Your heads are getting bigger. ``Vanna: Someone has to be first, and Tetra can knock up a report for skool. ``Tetra: And I will send it to our library. ``Selina: That will be good on Zola's TVO show. ``Vanna: The uplink truck is running. ``Tetra: Zaa. I am trying to find things so I can link them together. ``Selina: You mean it is working? ``Tetra: I think so, because I have the up-link data screen, is transmitting to Planet-Q. I have put the camera on outside the Trullo. Now I tune in to the downward frequency and I have to balance the two up, before I can get synchronization. There is the spectrum graph, for the uplink and downlink and they are both peaking, so I should get a picture, and bingo. ``Vanna: Who is a bighead now Mum? ``Selina: We all are, because you are my kind, ``Selina: I will go and call Leila in. --- ``Leila: Crumbs, you have done it. ``Vanna: Tetra: Go and stand in front of the camera. ``Tetra: Certus.
