Silv and Jana enjoy working with the SURVEY TEAM consisting of Plaxy, Vanor, four robot laborers and the giant excavators called THE MOLE and THE CRAWLER. 
Plaxy and Vanor are well educated athletic likable girls aged in their early twenties, dedicated to the survival of Phoenix and personally hand-picked for the position in the survey team by Malva. 
The MOLE is a huge burrowing machine shaped like an ice-cream cone two hundred feet long and forty feet wide, an ATOMIC powered BORER with rock cutting LASERS able to excavate two thousand feet of solid rock in 24 hours, Silv and Jana take turns piloting this powerful machine inside a life support encapsulated control center, the machine cuts a round path by VAPORIZING everything in front of it creating thousands of degrees of heat that radiates back on the MOLE creating small delays that slow them down to keep the temperature within it's tolerance levels, when the MOLE moves without CUTTING telescopic tractor treads come out automatically on all sides. 
After three 24 hour shifts the SENSORS in the ONBOARD DISPLAY UNIT indicate a vast open area ahead of them so Jana who's at the controls says. 
"Silv I think we better tell the others we've found an open area." 
Plaxy, Vanor and the robots were a long way behind the MOLE in another encapsulated LIFE-SUPPORT vehicle called the CRAWLER, descending slowly behind the MOLE, staying at least half a mile away to escape the heat, they carry all the equipment and passengers, a communication was made from team leader Plaxy. 
"Continue slowly Jana, don't let the MOLE fall, work out an angle to avoid dropping into that open area." 
Jana maps ahead and puts the co-ordinates through the onboard computer, they follow a different angle of descent which alters from vertical to 52 degrees, inching forward the MOLE slips sideways sliding slowly down the remaining 50 feet until it comes to rest on it's side, Jana telescopes the powerful tractor treads out and brings the big vehicle upright with the control center on top. 
While they wait for the others they set up flood lights to cover the outside area, the ATOMIC powered CRAWLER arrives propelled by tractor treads that run on all sides, no matter what direction or angle the occupants always travel in an upright position fully enclosed in the life support chamber fitted with visual display units. 
When they arrive the robot laborers leave first and walk slowly and carefully across the hot ground in front of the CRAWLER lining up alongside the MOLE, Plaxy and Vanor climb down from the CRAWLER fully suited up with oxygen packs on their backs, they walk ahead to look around and come across a large yellow colored wall. 
Plaxy speaks into her suit radio. 
"I'll be damned if this doesn't look like a GOLD WALL, RLs clear a path along this wall." 
In the light given off by the MOLE, the robot laborers clear access to the GOLDEN WALL that has a triangular shape. 
Vanor exclaims excitedly. 
"Plaxy this must be a PYRAMID, it has a pyramid shape, RLs look for an entrance." 
A robot laborer signals Plaxy to tell her he's found a sealed section that might be an entrance, attempts to open it meet with failure so Plaxy tells Silv and Jana to cut their way through with the MOLE'S lasers. 
Silv drives carefully to this area lining it up accurately by computer and Jana cuts the sealed section out, there's a hissing sound as air escapes from inside, Plaxy and Vanor shine radium torches into the entrance they've made, Plaxy's excited as she sees stairs in front of them and radio's Silv and Jana to put the MOLE on standby and join them before they enter. 
Silv and Jana suit up and climb down a forty ft. ladder from the MOLE'S control center leaving a robot standing guard the four girls walk inside this strange structure each shining radium lights. 
They're in awe when they see the whole structure's been built from GOLD, they walk up a spiral stairway that leads into another chamber and find a transparent DOME sitting in the middle of the floor, they shine their lights on the DOME and through the transparent lid they're amazed to see a humanoid male inside it. 
Plaxy speaks into her suit radio. 
"Jana what the hell have we got here?" 
"Mistress Plaxy I have no idea, it looks very old doesn't it?" 
"I agree but look at this, what the hell is this?" 
Plaxy shines her torch onto a strange section of wall in the chamber, Vanor has a portable SIGNAL DETECTION UNIT, she points it at the wall and finds it's ALTERING FREQUENCY at regular intervals, and she says excitedly. 
"Girls, I think I've found the reason why we're here, this is the irregular FREQUENCY PATTERNS we were picking up on our SENSORS back at the lab." 
The rectangular section of wall didn't match the surroundings, it was a light shade of gray flickering and sparkling in the light, contrasting sharply to the rest of the interior that shone and reflected a golden hue all round them, this gray section absorbed the light from the torches giving off no reflection. 
Plaxy finds a golden staff leaning in the corner and says. 
"I wonder what'll happen if I poke this into the gray sparkly section?" 
She touches the gray wall feeling a high voltage electric shock, yelling out in pain as the golden staff sinks into it, Plaxy pulls it back quickly to find the part she pushed in has vanished, they all feel more than a bit freaked out in the dim lit chamber and Plaxy the TEAM LEADER says. 
"Girls let's get the hell out of here, we'll take the DOME and some samples back with us for analysis." 
Plaxy tells the robots to collect the DOME and place it in the MOLE'S cargo hold, Plaxy and Vanor return to the CRAWLER as the robots carry the DOME with it's humanoid contents to the MOLE, along with samples they scrape from the wall and what's left of the golden staff. 
Everything they see and do is recorded by inbuilt audio/visual cameras on the suits for analysis in the laboratory when they return, Jana takes a last curious look at the structure before they start their long slow crawl straight up to the city. 
THE DISCOVERY THEY HAVE MADE WOULD TEST THE TECHNOLOGY OF PHOENIX TO THE LIMIT.
