The night shift recovered a solid piece of bedrock limestone at 4:00AM Monday morning while using the "Alien" tool. The depth below lake floor was approximately 95 Meters. The night and day drilling teams have both been doing an exceptional job . Visiting scientists have provided a steady supply of expatriated snacks and coffee which have been greatly appreciated.
