Well, she only has like 2-3 days left at most with no water (and to be honest, by day 4-5 she’d barely be functioning).
It’s certain death vs. a chance, take the chance.
In one movie, Superman was exposed to pseudo-kryptonite. The fool who tried to synthesize it found 2% a “??” and out of desperation used cigarette ash as the “??”.
The pseudo-kryptonite had a red-kryptonite effect , making Superman irresponsible, alcoholic and unconcerned.
Stab it. If it doesn’t respond, scoop some up with the helmet or something, and boil it. Scan again, if no change, drink, and prepare another batch.
If can’t boil… well, toss a coin:
heads: drink the water, with the certain microbes, possible parasites and perhaps toxins, that hopefully are no match for your alien biology
tails: eat instead something living that looks moist inside – lower risk of dangerous microbes, higher risk of toxins and possible killer cacti
edge: die of dehydration
I wonder how the others of the teams that ventured thru the portal to the moon are doing ?
Many got assimilated by the god-thing, one at the base turned out to be one of THEM in disguise and exploded, and so on …
Water with plants in it. Here’s hoping they’re non-toxic and non-parasitic.
What gets you worse? The 2% unknown, or the biological traces?

Gah knows what THIS ?? will do to her.

Since the atmosphere has a much higher concentration of oxygen, trying to start a fire for boiling could end disastrously.
That hadn’t occurred to me! Good point!

Maybe issue #18 will update us.
