| Venus is showing no signs of life and I can see why with all these sulfuric lava flows colliding with our rover. It seemed most unsuitable for human civilization with so many constantly erupting volcanoes. �Let�s take some lava samples and look at what�s inside the lava,� I suggested. My crewmate nodded nonchalantly and carefully scooped out a tube of lava. Venus was very unstable and volcanoes have surprised us with sudden bursts of lava more than once. �Shoot!� I cried as the lava devoured a portion of our canteens. �Not only that, the fortification made to resist heat and acid on our canteens been nullified. Our water is already beginning to evaporate, and the toxic fumes of Venus are tainting our fresh water,� my crewmate groaned. �We might have to abort this strenuous mission because of our ridiculously low food supplies; this is an extremely bad situation.� �So we�re going back to Earth?� I moaned. My crewmate nodded grimly. However, something caught our eyes. �Hey, what is that oddly shaped lump?� I yelled, feeling sure that we had found something incredible. I was correct. My crewmate, with a look of genuine surprise, jotted something down in his crumpled journal and quickly ran over to excavate the lump. I brought him mining tools, and right away, he started drilling at the bizarre lump with an excavator. We had brought mining tools, of course, because you never knew what ores you might find on another world. Once we mined the ore, we immediately got back in the rover and traveled to the shuttle at full speed (luckily, there is not a speed limit, because if we did not get home immediately, we may have died of dehydration or starvation.)
