It actually takes something more than an hour before everybody is suited up, cycled through the airlock, and across at the wreck. Banster joins them on the way over, stomping along in a vaccsuit which has a partial exoskeleton strapped to it.
"I was told that I'm to help move everything into two piles first, yours and ours, and then we can see about hauling it back. Right?" Banster sends a low power transmission on an open channel. "Oh, and Jockram says I have to talk to your Doc, but he wouldn't tell me why. I hope she knows what it's about."
They start down into the crater, where the broken hull of the wrecked ship sits on the ice.
Aboard Profit Margin, all is quiet. The only people aboard are Shui, Yas, Saskia, Corlan DeSant, Dhakhingzuel, and the pirate with the broken arm. Corlan is in the passenger side lounge, showing Dhakhingzuel his holographic collection from his visit to the wreck, including the strange lifeforms encountered on the ice.
The pirate is in the "brig", looking blankly at the trid menu. There are hundreds of them. None of them older than a couple of years, and none of them with a title that he recognises. He briefly considers, Pirates of the Spinward Main: At Imperium's End, then rejects it, given his current circumstances. Likewise Asteroid of Blood and the vaguely disturbing Desperate Shipmates don't make the grade. Eventually he settles for a documentary on the Fourth Frontier War, which, at 120 minutes, is almost longer than the war itself...
In Engineering, Saskia continues to fiddle about in the missile's innards, making adjustments to its settings. Elsewhere Yas finds something to occupy herself while she waits for her turn to head over to the wreck, and Shui continues with her own work.
Jago and his expedition reach the hulk, make their way up the side, and through the useless airlock, into the interior.
