Gallus
Load Full StoryNext ChapterGallus decided to map out Earth's moon along with Mars. He started with the Earth's moon. Daring Do made sure to warn him that the gravity would be less since the moon was smaller than Earth. He acknowledged and proceeded to land. He touched down slowly in order to secure a soft landing and then deployed his rover.
As he sped along the surface, he took hundreds of pictures. He came across six structures with a flag next to them in different places. Each one had a name plate that said who came to that spot. He was unable to tell what the flags looked like, because they were faded from many years of exposure to sunlight. At three of the sites, he found rovers, but their batteries were dead. His rover had a solar panel with which to recharge the batteries. Once he had visited all of the craters and rock formations, along with taking samples, he returned to his ship and lifted off to head for Mars.
On Mars, Gallus noticed that anything he had with him weighed only 1/3 of what it would weigh normally. As he traversed the planet, he found what appeared to be several mechanical devices and probes that had been sent long ago. Some of these machines were either badly broken or completely destroyed. Not wanting to risk breaking anything, he only took pictures. Dust storms happened four times during his trek, but he had secured his ship firmly so it wouldn't get flipped over and damaged. At one point, he found what looked like an enormous volcano, but a seismic scan said it was only dormant and not going to erupt anytime soon. After confirming that he had charted all of the landscape on Mars; Gallus returned to his ship, launched, and returned to the space station.
