There was mass confusion in the camp approaching mass hysteria except that a large number of scientists were too numbed to even respond. What should someone say in a situation like this? Should they even say anything? Their first and only clue apart from the ice block was the commotion earlier on. There was definitely one set of footsteps apparently running away and maybe another two footsteps chasing (?) after it. Except that, the shouts were more angry than fearful. What could it be? Or was it all just a red herring?
This expedition was based on mutual respect by each scientist in their following fields. As such there was no pre-defined leader. For such a situation as now, would it prove to be their doom? As the brightest among the brightest of humanity, surely, someone could figure things out? And time moved on and the dread of impending doom increased...
