9-384: Pristine, Clement Basin-Mine Site Road
OK.
Alan heads the Crawler along the road back to Clement Basin, the twin line of moving ore transport buckets on their overhead cable running alongside them, a chain of red and yellow lights running beside them on the dark road – there is a red one atop each of the supporting pylons and yellow ones at the corner of the buckets.
Not long before reaching the point where the road begins its curving descent down into Clement Basin, and just before lunch, the line of buckets veers off from the road in the direction of the spaceport. A rough service track branches off from the road to run alongside the bucket line.
Alan asks, “Follow the buckets, or continue on to Clement Basin and take the main road to the Downport?”
“If it’s safe, take us along the buckets please. We might find another spot he could’ve jumped off.”
