This would be the hardest leg of the journey, as Sammy would be carrying a bunch of ice and concrete, and on the way back, 33 pounds of uranium, which is very heavy. Sammy did have a plan though, a small rover was included with the other supplies, but it was in no condition to operate, but, it was possible to repair it. The battery is completely shattered, but there is one other nonessential battery here...

Sammy wore her EVA helmet as she carefully crept through the dark cryo-stasis room, fearing the corpses, but driven on by necessity and the will to live. Sammy didn't look at the corpses, she just hurried to grab the battery that powered cryo-stasis regulation.

Journal Entry 4: (sigh), I'm working on the rover now, I replaced the battery and everything else that broke (a plethora of replacements are found in storage). Now, I should at least be able to relax a little. I'm not going to risk growing another arm, so I'm going to be wearing my radiation suit the whole time I'm inside around it (the uranium), and I fashioned a sled from some cable and a steel sheet, I don't plan to ride in a space the size of a mini-van along with an open topped cone filled with uranium.
