The sandskimmer was zipping a mere meter over the sandy floor, occasionally
changing directions.  To anyone who watched it for awhile, they would have
assumed it was doing a search pattern, which would be correct.

The vehicle contained two occupants, one driving and the other with binoculars
slowly scanning the area.

"How come we got this detail" grumbled the driver.

"Just lucky I guess" answered the other one.  "Right place, right time."

"Bull!  Juno has something against me.  I know's it.  This his way of getting
back."  The driver wiped his brow and said "Dang, I'm tired of this shit.  What
say you and I give it 10 more minutes, then we go back.  I could use a beer!"

"Nope.  I want to be thorough.  If there's a crashed freighter out here, I'm going
to find it.  It's important."

"Hrmph!" said the driver as they jagged into the next line of the search pattern.
