The entrance to the safe hiding place was a dark narrow passage which, from a secret trapdoor in the hearth of Eve's home fireplace led to a number of undergroung rooms. Sealed the entrance so nobody could follow them, they started going down. After a while, the dirt steps gave way to a metal gangway a huge a cavern. It was a mommoth cavern so much that from the gangway along one of the walls, they couldn't see the other walls in the oily darkness of its spaciuos belly. However J.S. noticed that the wall of the "cave" near the gangway was made of metal slabs. They were riveted and still in good condition, even if time had covered them with a thin layer of calcareous sediment. J.S. thought that the place was so ancient that it might have been built when wide oceans still graced New Mars. Along the gangway there were some small rooms dusty but in good condition on the whole. They chose the largest, with a chair-bed and some spare furniture. Luckily the lights still worked there, and the door could be opened and closed with no effort. "Damn, J.S. mumbled to himself, "This is a hangar or a dock for spaceships". He had seen too many of them to be wrong. He wondered who had made it and why and realized that nobody in the Earthern Alliance knew a fig about it. He leaned on the rail and all of a sudden the weirdest feeling made his hair stand on end. "There's somebody over there in the dark!" he cried. "No, no,"Eve replied hurriedly. "it's my fault, I'm nervous and I can't keep my powers under control yet!!" "Maybe you're right", he nodded. J.S., however, wasn't convinced at all. When J.S. was ready, they accompagned him at the door of the "cave". The huge sliding door was partially stuck and no effort could move it completely open. "Don't worry, he told Adam. "If it's always been this way, nobody'll come to nose about". Then Adam and Eve asked: "Will you be able to land all the same?" "I'll manage" he answered, and went away in the pitch-black night.
