(Part 2) 'The Castle'
While Franz and Viktoria debated about Solstice-3,
Gwen and Tomas found a cave opening, behind the
waterfall they had been enjoying... a new mystery!
Tomas: "Gwen... See that faint light... deep inside the cave?"
"Yes... You thinking what I'm thinking?" she quickly replied.

Franz and Viktoria noticed their crew mates alacrity and actions.
"What is the hurry... As you say, 'What is up?' guys" said Franz.
Tomas: "We saw a cave... and a light inside. Maybe we're not alone?"
Franz accompanied Tomas into the cave. The women waited with their
com-talk devices. Like the old flip-phone, but much better, faster...
Gwen: "This planet is almost too lush and verdant... Like it was
made to order?" Viktoria: "Perhaps... But by who. Where are they?"

Deep inside the cave, which got vastly bigger the lower it went...
"My, my... What do we have here?" queried Franz.
Tomas: "Yes... It looks frozen... Like a frozen castle".
Franz: "Oh, yes... Frozen in Time... as well!"
The next day, they all looked at the Castle.
And indeed, they concluded... It was a Lab.
