At dawn the next day we received direct orders from the university, to prevent the local protest from threatening the work and that other newspapers could take advantage of the opportunity, a group of both faculties had to return to Diego de Almagro to start writing the news, while another group would stay until further notice, I was among those chosen to return, and that same morning, without even breakfast, we got back to Diego de Almagro.

They made us work in record time, in 2 days we had the publication ready, the university claimed that it was dangerous to delay or wait for the explorations to resume, so there was not even a rigorous filter about it, it was a whole edition, only for everything related to the cavern, which was named, the cavern of the earthquake.

The next day the news arrived, the project had been a success, we had managed to cause interest at national level, and it was ordered to start a second edition with all the new information or that could not have been put in the first edition, we received an interesting incentive and it was reported that the big newspaper companies had already tried to communicate with the Faculty of Archaeology and History of the university.

Half a week or a week went by, and due to the refusal of the Archaeological-Historical Faculty to provide information, companies focused their attention on us to pass them information, as the contract only claimed exclusivity until the first edition was published, many went to those companies, others stayed, and I stayed to finish the second edition. The success was perhaps not as much as the first edition, but it was a success, I received the pay plus a bonus for "loyalty to the alma mater" and that was it, I was certified and continued my studies as usual. From time to time, I supported with more editions regarding the earthquake cavern, but little by little, the news passed, yes, the mission of making the university publishing house more than a simple student project had been a success, I was hired full time as an interviewer and later as a columnist, nothing very big, actually, I only lent my name for Jose Luis' columns, who asked me to be the one to publish his research and cultural columns, most of them about legends and local mythology.
