Introduction to Subordinating Conjunctions in Science Fiction
In the distant future, humans have colonized Mars, and explorers discover an ancient alien artifact. While examining the mysterious object, they realize that it contains an encoded message. Because the message is encrypted, they must work together to decipher its meaning before the impending storm arrives. As they analyze the symbols, they understand that the artifact's message could reveal the secrets of interstellar travel. Although the discovery excites them, they remain cautious, knowing that unknown technologies could also pose risks. Since the artifact was found deep within a cavern, they are aware that it might be unstable and could activate unexpectedly. Despite the dangers, they decide to proceed with their investigation, fearing the potential knowledge it might unlock.
