No living things could be expected to endure such a harsh climate; yet scientists do not entirely dismiss the possibility of some day finding evidence that water-or even life-once existed on Mercury...

She introduces few variations--in speech patterns, humor, or sarcasm, for example--to distinguish the players' musings...
