They
’
d
been
climbing
for
some
time
.
The
terrain
continued
hilly
,
but
except
for
isolated
pillars
of
basalt
it
was
still
composed
of
lava
flows
.
There
were
few
sharp
projections
,
most
having
been
ground
down
to
gentle
curves
and
wrinkles
by
untold
aeons
of
steady
wind
and
driven
dust
.
Kane
was
in
the
lead
,
slightly
ahead
of
Lambert
.
Any
minute
now
he
expected
her
to
announce
they
’
d
regained
the
signal
.
He
topped
a
slight
rise
,
glanced
ahead
expecting
to
see
more
of
what
they
’
d
encountered
thus
far
:
smooth
rock
leading
upward
to
another
short
climb
.
Instead
,
his
eyes
caught
something
quite
different
,
different
enough
to
make
them
go
wide
behind
the
dirty
,
transparent
face
of
the
helmet
,
different
enough
to
make
him
shout
over
the
pickup
.
’
JESUS
CHRIST
!
’
’
What
is
it
?
What
’
s
the
mat
.
.
?
’
Lambert
pulled
up
alongside
him
,
followed
by
Dallas
.
Both
were
as
shocked
by
the
unexpected
sight
as
Kane
had
been
.
They
’
d
assumed
the
distress
signal
was
being
generated
by
machinery
of
some
sort
,
but
no
pictures
of
the
transmitter
source
had
formed
in
their
minds
.
They
’
d
been
too
occupied
with
the
storm
and
the
simple
necessity
of
staying
together
.
Confronted
now
with
a
real
source
,
one
considerably
more
impressive
than
any
of
them
had
dared
consider
,
their
scientific
detachment
had
temporarily
vanished
.
It
was
a
ship
.
Relatively
intact
it
was
,
and
more
alien
than
any
of
them
had
imagined
possible
.
Dallas
would
not
have
labelled
it
gruesome
,
but
it
was
disturbing
in
a
way
hard
technology
should
not
have
been
.
The
lines
of
the
massive
derelict
were
clean
but
unnatural
,
imbuing
the
entire
design
with
an
unsettling
abnormality
.
It
towered
above
them
and
the
surrounding
rocks
on
which
it
lay
.
From
what
they
could
see
of
it
,
they
decided
it
had
landed
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Nostromo
,
belly
down
.
Basically
it
was
in
the
shape
of
an
enormous
metallic
’
U
’
,
with
the
two
horns
of
the
U
bent
slightly
in
toward
one
another
.
One
arm
was
slightly
shorter
than
its
counterpart
and
bent
in
more
sharply
.
Whether
this
was
due
to
damage
or
some
alien
conception
of
what
constituted
pleasing
symmetry
they
had
no
way
of
knowing
.
As
they
climbed
closer
they
saw
that
the
craft
thickened
somewhat
at
the
base
of
the
U
,
with
a
series
of
concentric
mounds
like
thick
plates
rising
to
a
final
dome
.
Dallas
formed
the
opinion
that
the
two
horns
contained
the
ship
’
s
drive
and
engineering
sections
,
while
the
thicker
front
end
held
living
quarters
,
possibly
cargo
space
,
and
the
bridge
.
For
all
they
knew
,
he
might
have
everything
exactly
reversed
.
