In the morning all crew is exciting, the drill begins its job. [:)]
=> At depth of 20 m, the drill was fallen on volcanic stones with iron... and broke. [:(]

At noon, crew will install the second drill (output orange chests). [B-)]

At 5 PM, Pierre moved the second drill.
Winnie searches the deeper sediments.

Far on the horizon we can go to the end of Ares Vallis...

Arrived at 45 m depth, still no water ! [:(]

Go to the next drill.
Pierre goes to the third, higher in the river, Winnie at the second and Tchang goes down the first.

First drill came back to its chest.

Despite the addition of drill pipe from other drills to dig deeper, it failed to find water (or fossilized hydrates). [:(]

This river was to be too small or dry long ago.
Crew will have to find new place to search water...

On foreground, you see the drone. [:)]
