"Is the lander on target?"
"You know its not a lander. Jupiter doesn't have any land to land on."
"Well, whatever you wanna call it, is it on target?"
"Yes, directly on target."
"Right for the center of the red spot?"
"Absolutely."
"ETA?"
"Only a minute until it hits the outside atmospheric cloud cover, now."
"Ten, nine... five... three..."
"There it goes. It's hit."
"What's going on...?"
"The, the red spot.. the storm..."
"It looks like..."
"It is, it's dissipating... fast...!"
"Good god, the rest of the clouds too?"
"Its like the whole planet is... dissolving..."
"Wait. What's that?"
"It's coming back!"
"The clouds?"
"Yes! the clouds are coming back."
"And the red spot?"
"It's... oh my god, its turning the other way!"
"the whole thing?"
"Its like a big cyclone, but spinning the wrong way. "
"But..."
"Wait... there! in the center! a hole, like a vortex!"
"A hole?"
"Its.. its closing up... its closed."
"What's that?"
"It's... its the lander?"
"what?"
"The lander! coming out of the center! ...and fast!"
"Fast? how fast?"
"A lot faster than we sent it in..."
"Where is it going?"
"Straight back towards us!"
"well, it will burn up in the atmosphere like everything else, right?"
"It was built to survive the Jovian atmosphere!"
"so?"
"So you think OURS will stop it?"
"you said its heading..."
"straight back at us. Fast. Very fast."
"So very, very fast..."
