The team is intact and in a few hours we will be landing on Europa. The company enticed Lalie to come to Europa by making her project head of our section. Shuim was told if he spends three months helping set things up on Europa he will get the remainder of his ten years as accelerated credit. He jumped at that, his chance to get out of the hell of Io, and get back to earth. Once we got on the ship however, Shuim is having forebodings that we will all die on Europa. I continue to have the dreams about the volcano at Pompeii in 79AD back on earth. However, we all have got a huge raise and Lalie calls the water project on Europa the most important engineering project since the Roman aqueducts. That's an interesting choice of imagery given my dreams of Pompeii.
