Description


Taken 6/16/2000. On our way to pick up some 80 tons of buckyballs, we stopped over at the third planet (counting inwards from the rim) of a system that we heard had some friendly locals. It was a huge place with a dreadfully thin oxygen blanket for an atmosphere, but it also had a lovely moon alot like ours, only closer. We toured thousands of kilometres of open water before we found this unlikely snow-covered bluff staring at us. The rocks that blanketed the shore before us seemed all wrong geologically, somehow. We started thinking they might be brine formations, similar to those found at Mono Lake, California. But ever the navigator, our luminal pilot Jeff decreed that he saw them moving with respect to one another - ever so gradually. We made some measurements and sure enough. They weren't even attached to the ground. They were floating - like giant clumps of grass. We sounded out the underwater shape, and found a vast root network beneath, much much larger than they ever would need to be to simply soak up this rather ordinary water. It was Alicia who suggested that they might be a mechanism to keep them from getting swept onto shore. She also re-analyzed the scans and found that some were so intertwined with others that separating them would be impossible.
