The VS Rosanne 7 surfaced again on the way to Delta Base and Elsie spent what time she could upon the platform amidst the blue expanse of the ocean. Looking over the waves as they sparkled in the sun, she knew that somewhere out there was Vandenberg’s monster, and somewhere out there was the monster’s next victim. This had not at all turned into the adventure she had hoped for.
She was later greeted by Professor Goodwin, and he shared her concerns. “We love to dabble in all kinds of great and terrible forces that are beyond our comprehension, but why? If we could simply stand back and love life instead of trying to dominate it, I believe the world would be all the happier.” They spent a great amount of time conversing about their adventure, and Elsie recounted for the most part the less fortunate situations that she remembered. Goodwin smiled and said, “If there is anything that I have learned from this ordeal it is that humans are terribly small things.”
Elsie smiled. “Right you are, professor.”
