Michelle&apos;s dizziness goes away and the burning sensation in her body
begins to fade. She slowly gets up, takes a few cautious steps forward to
the table, and leans on it.<br />
<span class="quote speech">So?</span> She looks at Jack.
<span class="quote speech">What now? Any plans?</span><br />
<span class="quote speech">I guess, for now, exploring the area and
taking a look at the uplink. I wanna see if we can fix it.</span><br />
Michelle thinks for a moment.<br />

wedges...</span><br />
<span class="quote speech">Ooh yeah, something to eat would be really

Michelle reaches the edge and and sees what Jack had stopped for:
A huge ravine estends towards the top of the mountain where a landslide
had left nothing but a cliff and a huge pile of rubble. At the top of
the mountain, teetering on the edge, are two buildings &ndash; all
that&apos;s left of the ground station. The rest of the buildings and
the dish lay strewn around in pieces down below.
