Introduction
Goblin Valley State Park, Utah.
Early morning.
A helicopter landed and Professor Walter Pirin alighted from it. The astrophysicist and founder of the Pirin Astrobiology Institute walked towards a group of people that seemed to be waiting for him. He looked around and said:
"So, where is it?"
"Just follow me."
The man who had answered was obviously very excited. Jimmy Cobble worked for the PAI with passion.
"You won't believe it", he noticed. He led Pirin to a vast plain and pointed to a direction.
"Most of the remnants were found there."
"Pretty narrow. I wouldn't expect the area to be so small."
Pirin looked at Cobble. He could tell from Cobble's behavior that there was more.
"Come on, Jimmy, you wouldn't have called me for a few remnants of an asteroid that broke to pieces in the atmosphere!"
"You're right. This one is special. I'm not even sure what it is. Definitely no asteroid. We found something enclosed. But I want you to see it yourself."
Cobble walked to a near table with something lying on it that looked a lot like stone. He carefully lifted the stone and handed it over to Pirin who just needed five seconds until he realized what he held in his hands.
"Oh my god", he reacted, "a crystal cube. A cube! A processed crystal!"
Cobble smiled.
"Isn't it fantastic? We might hold the proof of extraterrestrial life!"
