Scientists Rocked by Assault at Antarctic Base

In Antarctica's icy space, a team did stay, But allegations of assault brought a difficult day.

In Antarctica's icy grip so tight,
A research team lived through the winter's night.
Nine scientists, brave and true,
Working together, with a task to do.
But trouble brewed, a stormy sea,
A member accused of assault, a grave decree.
A team leader's dispute, a schedule change,
Led to a fight, with a painful range.
The South African government took a stand,
With utmost urgency, they lent a hand.
Evaluations were done, with checks so fine,
But isolation's effects, can make the mind decline.
A government minister, took charge with care,
The alleged perpetrator, showed remorse to share.
A formal apology, was written with a sigh,
A willingness to cooperate, to make things right to try.
The team was in a bind, a confined space so small,
With harsh weather conditions, they had to stand tall.
A doctor, mechanics, engineers, and more,
A mix of skills, to survive the Antarctic roar.
But human behaviour, can be unpredictable too,
In isolation's grip, the smallest things can brew.
A dispute over a task, a schedule change so fine,
Can lead to a conflict, that's hard to define.
