You see, it is approximately three million years old. What you are now looking at is the first evidence of intelligent life beyond the Earth.'
My colleagues and I, Dr. Floyd, will stake our reputations on this. T.M.A.-I has nothing to do with the Chinese. Indeed, it has nothing to do with the human race - for when it was buried, there Were no humans.
But I never believed that - and now we've been able to date it positively, from local geological evidence.
'T.M.A.-I,' Dr. Michaels declared, almost reverently. 'It looks brand new, doesn't it? I can hardly blame those who thought it was just a few years old, and tried to connect it with the third Chinese Expedition, back in '98.
Perfectly sharp-edged and symetrical, it was so black it seemed to have swallowed up the light falling upon it; there was no surface detail at all. It was impossible to tell whether it was made of stone, or metal, or plastic - or some material altogether unknown to humanity.
The object before which the spacesuited man was posing was a vertical slab of jet-black material, about 10' high and 5' wide; it reminded Floyd, somewhat ominously of a giant tombstone.
It was obviously a night shot, and might have been taken anywhere on the Moon or Mars. But until now no planet had ever produced a scene like this.
On Earth and Moon less than a hundred people had so far been allowed to set eyes on this photograph. It showed a man in a bright red and yellow spacesuit, standing at the bottom of an excavation, and supporting a surveyor's rod marked off in tenths of a metre.
The darkened assembly room became suddenly hushed and expectant as the picture on the screen changed. Though everyone had seen it many times, there was not a person who failed to crane forward as if hoping to find new details.
Twenty feet down, the drill stopped. So the survey party started to dig - not an easy job in spacesuits, I can assure you. What they found brought them back to Base in a hurry. We sent out a bigger team w/better equipment. They excavated for 2 weeks - with the result you know.'
'The first party discovered nothing - just the usual level terrain, buried beneath a very thin layer of moondust. They sank a drill in the exact centre of the magnetic field, to get a core sample for study.
'At first we thought it might be an outcrop of magnetic rock, but all the geological evidence was against it. And not even a big nickel-iron meteorite could produce a field as intense as this; so we decided to have a look.'
Even to an untrained eye it was obvious something peculiar had happened to the Moon's magnetic field in this region; and in large letters across the bottom of the map were the words: 'Tycho Magnetic Anomaly - One (T.M.A.-I).' Stamped on the top right was 'CLASSIFIED'. 🤫
For the most part, the lines were roughly parallel and spaced well apart; but in one corner of the map they became suddenly packed together, to form a series of concentric circles - like a drawing of a knot-hole in a piece of wood.
'It was completed only last month - and this is the result - the map that started all the trouble.' Another picture flashed on the screen; it looked like a contour map, though it showed magnetic intensity, not height above sea level.
He let Floyd absorb this unfamiliar view of a familiar object, then continued: 'During the past year we have been conducting a magnetic survey of the region, from a low-level satellite.'
'But observed from This viewpoint - looking straight down from a thousand miles up - you'll see how it dominates the entire hemisphere.'
'On this vertical photograph,' said Michaels, pointing to the central crater, 'Tycho is even more conspicuous then when seen from Earth; then it's rather near the edge of the Moon.'
It looked exactly as if someone had hurled a bag of flour at the face of the Moon, and it had spattered out in all directions.
