They could not talk to her. And she could not talk to them. They were watching Beatriz to make sure she was safe. 科學家在外面監測 Beatriz，確保 Beatriz 的安危。但是 Beatriz 沒辦法跟他們溝通，他們也沒有辦法跟她溝通。 Beatriz came out of her cave last month. She had been alone for 500 days! She said she really needed a shower. She had not washed for nearly a year and a half! Eww… 500 days is a very long time. But Beatriz loved it! She said she didn't want to leave!
