The Eagle flies up uncontrollably into the air, being thrown forward and flying into the rest of the storm!
Dr. Russel:
WE NEED TO GO THIS WAY!
Commander Koenig:
WHAT?
Dr. Russel:
FOLLOW ME! HURRY!
Paul:
MIGHT HELP IF WE WEREN'T IN SUCH BIG SUITS!
Helena takes the lead as she battles through the dangerously powerful storm as it whirls and screams and spins. They place their heads downwards so they avoid any contact with their spacesuits and having them broken and smashed.
Alan:
Commander, I'm taking her up to the sky. Otherwise, I'll crash!
The Eagle lifts back up. They nearly make it to the underground section that Dr. Russel found earlier, finding this eventually, Helena opens up the vines and reveals it.
Dr. Russel:

Dr. Russel:
Well we aren't exactly going to get lost.
Victor:
Seems as though this leads to some form of life.
Commander Koenig:
Let's take a good look.
They proceed down the tunnel, a long, long passage leading deeper and deeper and deeper. They reach to a door that electronically slides to the left to reveal a new discovery for the Alphans...
