Teza performs some last-minute surgery, soldering two cables together, and Groundhog drives down the ramp out of the trailer, approaching the mouth of the mine. Remaining inside the trailer are the computers that will display the maps and images Groundhog sends back from its journey, the same visuals that will be exhibited at the conference in Charleston before and during Whittaker's talk.
