The orange bird perch, called the Aloha Mars Mooring (AMM) node by some, and the observatory and the junction box wait patiently for deployment in the staging bay.
Presents from Jason: a chip off a rock sample from the bottom of the ocean and an echinoderm larva – a baby sea urchin.

The recovery of Jason and Medea at 2100 for a night’s rest. The tag team is handling the yellow umbilical cord that connects Medea to Jason.
Jason wins the battle and his fans cheer wildly.
Jason found a rock he likes. The battle will be to pry it from its fellow rocks.
Live feed in the lab from Jason, exploring Ka’ena Ridge. The white fingers shooting up from the rocks are sponges.
