We actually met a guy a few years back who's son was with a science team who goes out there every year, if I recall correctly, it was 3 or 6 months at
a stretch. He asked his son once, not from a conspiritor's point of view, from curiocity, what is it that they do out there, his son simply told him,
it could end his career to talk about it, said when they join the team, they are made to sign some hectic non-disclosure contracts. They can refuse,
but then they just simply lose the opportunity and stump their careers in the process. Just said; it's very important and the reasons for the contract
are legit. Teams rotate with other science teams from around the world, never has any of them even hinted at speaking out, there's always a team
active there and they work together on the same project (so much for all the farcy wars, ey...) And that's it.
We still know the dad and talk often, it's never came up again and he respects his son too much to ask. He doesn't know anything else.
But it's interresting, ey? What could possible be so important on a frozen ice mass at the bottom end of the world, that there's a *willing* total
info blackout on it? Why the hush hush? Why can't we know?
Then it could be something as mundane as R&D too. We know another young engineer who worked on some R&D project for a company to bus. premices down
the road from us... dude never spoke out, just got this sneaky glint in the eye when we tried to fish. Whatever it was it was succesful and is out on
the open market now. We met him cause he needed a couple of small acryllic pieces cut and the machine they had was a 3m x 3m while ours was only
900mm. Easier to do, but the guy compartmentalised the pieces, and he didn't let us do it, he simply needed to use our machine himself. So we let him.
At the end of the day, all I'm saying is that between the science team and the R&D team, they both very secretive, and that means that the science
teams might simply just be busy with an R&D project. I don't think so, but I guess it's possible.
