Chapter 22- Sol 46
Indiana Jones was rudely awakened early the next morning. Still feeling the pain of his beating, he slowly put on his gear. When he was ready, he was escorted down to the main lobby of the ship. Every German there was carrying some kind of equipment. Digging materials, explosives, there was no limit to the expedition. Belloq stood in the middle.
"Well, Jones, since you've been to the site and have some knowledge of its contents, you will lead. It's not like you can run anywhere in your condition, or location."
The Germans chuckled. Indiana headed to the front, put on his helmet, and walked toward the airlock. The door opened, and he led the giant line of Germans back to the site.
Indiana kept walking in a straight line, with his head down. He felt a great amount of shame. He felt as though he had failed so many people. Marcus, Sallah, his dad, NASA, the world. He was leading the world's most evil organization to a site that should be studied for passion, not a goose chase for some mystical power that might not even exist.
"Do not be afraid to talk, Jones" Belloq said. "We had your helmet modified so you can communicate with us. and yes, there is a German translator in your helmet."
"Go to hell, Belloq."
They continued to walk, until at last they reached the entrance to the site. With a huge effort, Indiana began to lead them down.
