The dark cave is moist and filled with whirring winds which occur at regular intervals. A dirty probe excavates it, removing stalactites and stalagmites with its scraping tip. The tip latches onto a resisting structure, loosening its squid-like grip. The probe is then withdrawn, and the load is launched into space. The single-minded probe reenters the obstructed cave. A flood has occurred, glinting red in the sparse light. It flows immeasurably. The probe is forced to discontinue its task and wait for drier days. The stalagmites and stalactites will have grown back by then.
