Beverly stopped to wipe the sweat from her forehead
and check her communicator again.  Still dead. "I
think this planet is hotter than Vulcan," she
commented.

"It's probably because of the ion storms."  Riker
consulted his tricorder.  "Come on, Beverly, we've
still got 10 kilometers to go to reach the outpost.

Beverly shouldered the two emergency med-bags, and
started walking again.  "I can't believe you crashed
the shuttle."

Will defended himself. "_I_ did not crash the
shuttle, it just crashed."

Twenty minutes later, both officers were sweat-
soaked, and walking with leaden feet.

"Are we there yet?" Beverly asked hopefully.

Will sighed.
