Yup, but there was one where a balcony was used? Anyways, we have one
with an open top. I'll revise to a clear ice top they can see though
so they aren't all freezing (grin). WE can stage at the other spot (if
diferent) and then move to the open one just like we've moved into/out
of caves and such.

[Fernando happens to overhear the human converstation]

F: Ackchooly, tht's not an issue. Dere's a feature I hafen't shown anybody yet.

[Fernando speaks into a paw-held radio for a moment. A large fluffy
white kitty arrives a little later.]

I'd like to introduce you to Fiona. She's da chief engineer around here.

Fiona: Hihi! Ferrrnando says that ye'll be interrrrested in being able
to see the moon. That measn that ye'll need to be hearrring this story.

Since we're furry isolated here, we try to keep in contact with the
kitties that live at researrrch stations herrre in the Antarctic. The
Argentine station called San Martine is one of the closest, so we visit
with them the most often. Several yearrrs ago we had a group of
asplorer kitties travelling over the ice to San Martin when an
unexpected storm blew in. We had been expecting beautiful, clear
weather, but this storm brought Condition 1 - no visibility, high
winds, and wind chill below -73 degrees Celcius. Our team was halfway
between our place and San Martin when the storm hit. They were certain
that they were going to be carried off to the Rainbow Bridge, but all
of a sudden they heerd an unexpected noise - da noise of a catacopter!
A copter landed just feet from out kitties, so they dashed onboard.
Dere was a little orange tabby kitty at the controls, and a rather
portly tortie who rushed to bring our kitties blankies and warm tea.

Da catacopter lifted off in spite of the unbelievable weather, and the
pilot was able to keep control of the catacopter in spite of severe
turbulence. When they were about halfway back to our location they
heard a call over da radio - a team of scientists from the San Martin
station was a couple of miles from their base when dere SnowCat died.
Dey had no more food left and were very low on fuel. So da pilot of the
copter flew a search pattern around the San Martin station until her
found da SnowCat, den da tortie kitty lowered a steel cable to da
hoomins, who hooked it on to da SnowCat. Da catacopter slowly pulled da
SnowCat back to da San Martin station. When da copter landed, da
hoomins was astounded - dey had never seen a copter sized fur kitties,
and had no idea dat kitties could fly dem! But dey quickly learned, and
dey made everyone welcome. Once da storm had passed, da orange tabby an
da portly tortie flied out kitties back to us.

Da hoomins in da station later learned dat most of the udder Antarctic
stations had also been visiited by da catacopter. In fact, da Palmer,
McMudro, and Bernardo O'Higgins stations all haf plaques honoring doze
kitties for similar rescues. Da plaques honor Harri Roadcat and Amelia
T Cat fur dere daring rescues. And even today, any time a aircraft
using da "Roadcat" callsign gets special clearance from any station
around here.

Anyhow, once dey delivered our kitties safely home again, we gived dem
a special banquet to fank dem.Dey overheard me talking to Fernando
about a problem we was hafing - da roof of dis cavern here was starting
to melt through. During da summer season dat wouldn't be bad, but in da
winter it would be furry dangerous. But doze 2 brave kitties spended a
couple weeks wif me doing analysis, and getting da metal-working
kitties here to work on building some special parts. So now, we don't
haf to worry about da roof of da cavern melting. And we can now do
dis...

[Fiona scrapes frost from the face of a panel set into the wall nearby.
She leans close to the panel and a small laser scans her eye. A
paw-shaped outline lights up on the panel. Fiona presses her paw
against the outline, and a humming noise can be heard from overhead. As
everyone turns to look up, they see the roof of the cavern retracting!
With an iris-type movement, white panels slide over each other, and
soon the cavern is open to the sky.]

We usually keep da panels closed so dat our cavern doesn't show up on
da hoomin's satellite images, but we won't haf to worry about da next
one fur a while yet. So, will dis work for your need to be able to see
da sky an da moon?
