" Xorax, where are you? Can you arrange something for light? Hello? Can you hear me, Xorax? "

" Y....e....s..."

" Can you arrange anything for light? "

" N....o..."

It was totally dark, even I couldn't see myself. Luckily I found a tiny tourch and switched it on.

" Fabulous!! We have got half an hour more sweetie, Xorax. "

Xorax was unable to speak out a single word. It had passed almost 48 hours there in an icy cave. Xorax afforded all its energy to find a way out. But all in vain!! And that time I had only a tourch as a chance for trying to survive.

After 5 minutes, I saw a single ray coming to the cave through a small hole. I didn't know where it came from. I rushed to the hole and saw the outside a little. It was Ophelia, perhaps.

" Xorax, It's Ophelia!! But how? It's a satellite. Then? "

" - - - - - - "

" How is it giving light? "

I got no answer but heard a sound of breaking the ice of the cave. I took Xorax and came out of the cave through the broken part which was made by Evan.

" Evan!! "

I wanted to hug him tightly but I didn't. Because I knew that seeing me Evan was not as delighted as I.

" How did you come here? "

" I have got some weak signals from here. So, I have come here with a lower probability of finding you. "

" Really? You came here to save me!! " I said. My eyes were full of tears.

" No. My calculation says that you must have died now. So, I came here to take your dead body. "

" Huh! Dead body? "

" Yes. I will take a decision about your dead body then. "

" Decision?!! "

" Yes, captain. If anyone dies during an operation it is said to keep the dead body in the cold storage room of our spaceship so that after finishing the operation we can be able to hand over the dead body to his relatives. But...."

Evan continued.

" But you are our captain and there is none to convert as a captain here 'coz you are the only living being in this mission. So, I think, it's better to burry your dead body with due honor in a perfect place of this planet. "

Hearing Evan I was stunned. Just imagine the great feeling while someone is saying about what he will do with your dead body though you are alive! But I was glad to know that after my death a minimum respect will shown to me for being a human. It's my luck that the robot didn't say to through me out in the space at least.

" Evan, shouldn't we go now? "

" Yes, captain. I'll fix Xorax. As we are not much far from our camp, we may go with an ice boat. "

We started for our camp. The smell of rotten egg was coming through my nostrils. My bad luck! What if I would then on earth? What if I could breath the fresh air and smell the sweet scent of flower? Nothing is impossible. Even though I'm here, in this blue-green planet trying to imagine the feelings of evergreen earth. I sighed. 

" There is no rotten egg, it's NH3. And the blue-green color is for Mythen. Totally chemical composition. Nothing special. "

" I know Evan. These information are stored in our database, you can present it before all the scientists when we will return earth. "

" Okay, captain. I think we should go fast. The sky seems stormy. It may rain today. "

" Yea, right. We should return as soon as possible. "

We were then on Uranus, the seventh planet of our Sun. It wasn't our mission to come here. I had set out from earth for Ploto, a small asteroid, which was once thought to be a planet. Actually scientists are not sure that it is a planet or asteroid. That's why NASA held a mission AOPP ( Asteroid or Planet Ploto) to clearify the concept of Ploto. But when I came nearer to Ploto I fall in troubles with the Kuiper Belt Object. Something went wrong and our spacecraft Wenix789 took a U turn automatically and so we were out of our path. Then our Wenix789 replaced itself in the orbit of Uranus. We could not able to get out of that. So we landed on the mantle of Uranus with our Cremo7, a small spaceship and started observing it. Hope we could get rid of the planet soon as our Frelk87 was trying to overcome with the problem arised through our journey. Frelk87 is the central computer of Wenix789. It's an eighth class artificial intelligent computer which is able to think like 100 people is studying together.

" We are almost in our destination, captain. "

" Well done. Hurry up!! It will start to rain. "

As soon as we got into Cremo7 it started to rain. Yes, It was raining, but not like the as usual rain of earth. The rain of earth is so beautiful! The water flows above our head in the sky, we name it cloud. After a period of time it turns into water and fall down on earth to freshen up. Everything gets life for this rain. How scenic! How wonderful the scenery is! But there the rain is not the fall of water; there fell diamonds! A diamond rain.

" The presure inside Uranus can break up Mythen, squeeze Carbon and that forms diamon. Very simple. "

I laughed, " It may seems simple to you, Evan. But not for others. You just can't imagine how the people of earth will behave after seeing a diamon rain. "

" Huh. Don't you claim yourself as a creature of earth? "

" Obviously. Why not? "

" But after seeing diamon rain you are not being different. Your behaviour doesn't change. "

" All are not equal, Evan. "

" Surely equal. NASA made two MTP98535 for the Pluto mission. One of them is named Evan and that's me. We two are the same. "

" Poor machine! Human being is impossible to understand. "

Evan sighed. 

I was staring outside the rain suddenly I saw something went out before my eyes. I couldn't get what that was.
