| We have landed on another part of Venus. �Let�s hope that another volcano near us undergoes a serious eruption,� I muttered grumpily. �This �sister planet� seems a little volcanic.� We have not landed on an area of Venus with very large active volcanoes, but even a small eruption could do some considerable damage. However, now that we are away from Sif Mons, we can explore without lava blocking our way, unless we are incredibly unlucky. As we explored, we ran into a strange obstacle. �Come here and look at this,� my crewmate called, eyeing the odd gemstone he had found suspiciously. As I saw the massive gem, my jaw dropped. On the scale, it weighed 18 lb. �Wow!!!! That�s a very rare large specimen of an emerald-like stone!� I said, astonished. �I believe that greenhouse gases and volcanic activity has led to the creation and exposure of rare gems,� my crewmate suggested. �Why don�t we inspect the area we found the odd gem?� I inquired. �Obviously, there were more gems of that kind.� When we arrived, we found a variety of vaguely similar gems. �Look, this gem is radiating a bluish green, and is steaming inside the rock,� my puzzled crewmate said. �Let�s place all of them on our rover-inspection area, where the computer inside of our rover will identify the elements in the gems,� I said. Instead of a regular list, we found this on the computer screen:
Element: Unidentified
Element: Unidentified
Element: Unidentified
Element: Unidentified
Element: Unidentified
�Our rover-computer has the latest elements, but it doesn�t really surprise me that all of the elements in the rocks were unidentified, except for some traces of sulfur, carbon, and other elements that are common on Venus,� my crewmate muttered, atrabilious.
