He discovers fossilized evidence of bacterial life. He doesn't want the relief crew to claim all of the glory and he disobeys the orders to pack up and goes out on an expedition to collect further samples. A disaster happens and what would be a routine excavation turns into a nightmare. The ground collapses and the man falls down into a deep crevice.
