02x02 - Worlds Apart

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Mars"...

Looks like they're here.

Commander, we're
seeing incoming debris.

No comment on
the new neighbors?

Let's just say they
made quite an entrance.

Commander Hurrelle,
but you can call me Kurt.

- Commander Hana Seung.
- They're not scientists,

they're miners.
Here to steal natural

resources and to make a profit.

What Lukrum
industries wants

is to back-door IMSF into
some sort of partnership.

I wish you were
still secretary general.

The IMSF is becoming
irrelevant, on your watch.

Javier,
I'm going home.

I'm sorry.

IMSF has struck a
deal with Lukrum Industries.

Give the miners
what they want.

♪ We're coming
in too fast and ♪

♪ Everyone is burning bright ♪

♪ 182 seconds, baby ♪

♪ And heaven is a
trick of the light ♪

♪ Cold hell, my love ♪

♪ Cold hell, my love ♪

♪ Cold hell, my love ♪

Nothing, keep moving.

No yawning on the job.

Sorry, boss.

Just be a lot easier to
do this during the day.

Then we wouldn't be
doing it at night, would we?

We're getting
low on fuel.

We're burning through a lot of
it with all these double shifts.

No complaining either.

I just don't understand why we
have to be so secretive about all this.

- We're not even in their area.
- Hey Shep, stop here.

Yup, got it.

Sensor nodes online.

Solid contact.

- Go.
- Initiate seismic wave.

Keep driving? Sir?

Do you see something?

Only what
we're looking for.

I wish Earth
were more visible.

It might have been easier not feeling
so far away from everything.

You're going
to miss this view.

Honestly?

No. No.

No.

The only thing I'll
miss is all of you.

Well, it won't be
the same without you here.

You'll have your
sister to keep you company.

And the others,
and all the new people, too.

While I remain
uneasy with some of

their views, the Lukrum
colonists are our

neighbors here.

And in a lonely place like this,

more unites us
than divides us.

Hi!

Since they've arrived
here,

real connections have been made

- between our colonies.
- Thank you, cheers.

Cheers.

Friendships
have been forged.

I mean, this'll be the first of many,
and it's going to go with Gale Crater.

It'll be more energy-efficient
with smaller connector domes.

Yes, it would.

Boundaries
have been drawn.

Hey Marta, miners
are surveying in Sector 10.

As long as
they're nowhere near us.

And they've
been respected.

They have to be.

How's the view from up there?

Because we're millions of
miles from anyone else.

And where are we now?

And all we have.

7% completion.

- Is each other.
- Getting there.

Speaking in Mandarin...

Your Mandarin's
getting better.

My Mandarin's a little
better than your Korean.

Speak later.

Final checks and
reviews initiated on Saga 3,

on track for its
scheduled departure.

And Saga 4?

Landing port's been
cleared for its arrival.

Great.

Any tips on how to tell you and
your sister apart when she gets here?

Yeah.

She's tougher.

Anything else?

I'm not sure how
you're going to feel about it,

but Lukrum
colony's using more

water than expected.

What percentage?

Ten over the
agreed-upon amount.

Which wouldn't be so bad if they were
living up to their end of the bargain.

They haven't made a single
solar mirror for us yet.

I know.

And with how much they're putting into
building the pipeline, I haven't pushed.

I'll advise IMSF.

We have a temporary
agreement with Lukrum.

It's not as though it gives
them the keys to the kingdom.

But this opens the door.

If they're already refusing to
accept the Outer Space Treaty.

Which is quite
vague, as we all know.

How can any
agreement be enforced?

It's not as though we can
send an army over there.

Or should.

Some form of territorial
law has to be put in place.

Might I suggest that we are
being overly cautious here.

No one owns the planet, just
as no one owns the ocean.

But its resources can be farmed the
same way international waters are

farmed here.

It's a system that
already works.

Because it
can be policed.

Mars is seven months away,
and without a governing body.

May I remind the board that Lukrum
is committed to fast-tracking IMSF's

terraforming efforts.

And this is at a time
when seeing results,

however small,
matters not only to the

public, but to our
solvency as a space agency.

So for now, we must give them
the benefit of the doubt.

It is important
to remember that

under Secretary General
Seung's guidance,

IMSF became the most respected space
exploration agency in the world.

And she felt quite
strongly that companies

like Lukrum had no
place at our table.

Oh really? And where
would we be without Lukrum now?

Who would finance it?

I'm sure in the future there
will be lots of debate about Mars.

You know, what
will the rules be?

How might they be different
from the rules here on Earth?

Even our existing legislation
around Mars leaves

a lot of areas open
to interpretation.

Back in 1967, the
entire world agreed on

this outer space treaty,

that essentially states that
no one can own another planet.

But the problem is, it says nothing
about restricting private enterprise.

Because the whole idea that a private
company could claim huge chunks of Mars was

considered preposterous.

Now we think, yes,
it's inevitable.

I'm sure that there are people
who'd like to run it as a preserve.

And guarantee that
nothing positive happens.

But the truth is, there's a huge
amount of resources in space,

and you can almost certainly
mine it at a profitable level.

But if their
motive is to exploit

the resources on Mars,
then it would be a

profit-driven enterprise, and we
have a profit-driven planet already.

And we've got some very big problems
that can't be solved by that system.

A lot of the debates that we're
having over how we'll live on Mars,

are really mirrored by the kinds of
debates we're having here on Earth.

Breaking news tonight in

the battle to try to
stop a controversial

crude oil pipeline.

Drill, drill, drill.

We need the oil. Why are
we even discussing this?

So when we talk about what
we're thinking about doing on Mars,

what we're really doing is talking
about what we think is okay to do here

on this planet.

We're currently
one mile off the rig.

We're in a good position
to start launching boats.

We are here protesting this
particular company drilling here,

but also in general protesting
against Arctic oil drilling.

It's insane to come here and drill for
more oil, when we have climate change

pushing on us.

Our experience on Earth has
shown that companies want access

to new territory everywhere.

And so the Arctic is a
perfect example of this.

We see companies looking at the Arctic
as essentially a porthole for oil.

At the same time,
we have a counter-movement,

that says we are not going
down without a fight.

Arctic Sunrise,
request that you keep well clear

of 500-meter safety zone.

What we're going to do is go to
the site of the Tsonga Enabler,

and stay there.

By staying there, they have
to stop their operations.

Where are our friends,
the Coast Guard vessel?

From the industry's standpoint,
they want to develop this area.

So they are not happy
about these protests,

as Greenpeace certainly
found out in Russia.

It's something
that you have to decide

upon when you decide to
participate in these

actions, that you are
ready to take the risk.

I did know that doing actions
in, in Russia is more risky

than doing actions
somewhere else.

But there is always
this unknown factor.

There was me and then another climber, and
they were spraying like ice-cold water

on us with the big fire hoses.

Already, that was
really dangerous.

And then everything else
that happened on top of it.

g*ns pointed in our faces.

Two g*ns pointed
directly at our faces.

Special forces
landed on their ship.

It was a strong
first response.

30 Greenpeace activists are sitting in
jail on controversial piracy charges.

We might have been in prison
for seven years, or for two years,

or something in between.

So the uncertainty, that
was the scariest thing.

Even though it's horrible
what happened in Russia,

what it caused to my family and, and my
friends, I still think it's a necessity.

You have to be able
to leave and not

be certain when you'll
come back home.

I can't live a
life where I'm not doing

all that I can to
protect planet Earth.

It's what my home is.

We are made for this
world, made for Earth.

Just as all the other
living things on it are.

When I imagine the first people to live on
Mars, what will their relationship be to

their mother planet?

Will they long for this world, or will
they feel as if they have another home?

Hey.

What can I do for you?

It would mean a lot
if you came to the party.

It's not just for me, it's for
everyone else who is leaving, too.

I won't be
able to make it.

Alright. Um.

Will you at least keep this
lavender, since you grew it for me?

Smell is one of the
strongest senses tied to memory...

and I need to forget you.

Comms, play messages.

Message from Sarah Hammel

at the Aerospace
commission at 12:41.

Message from Senator
Dylan Beck at 12:49.

Transmission from Commander Hana
Seung, at Olympus Town, from 12:55.

Commander Seung.

Begin transmission.

Hey, Leslie.

I just wanted to reach out to you
personally to share some concerns I have

about Lukrum colony.

They're pulling about 10% more
water than they should be.

In the next week,
it could be 20.

Not to pile on, but they haven't
completed any solar mirrors, either.

I could really use some
support from IMSF on this.

I look forward to
hearing from you.

Hope you're well.

Transmission ended. Recording.

Commander. Whatever's
going on there is short-term.

And for you to take the
Lukrum colony to task

over something as essential
as needing a bit

more water, seems petty at best,
and short-sighted at worst.

And one more thing,
I recognize you probably

often speak to Joon about
minor details such as this one.

But I'm not your sister.

You do your job,
and I'll do mine.

Transmission ended.

What the hell?

*MARS *
Season 02 Episode 02
Episode Title: "Worlds Apart"

Istory, nature
was so much bigger than us.

We were a small impact on the
planet, no matter what we did.

And we didn't have the
technological capacity to do more.

But we have been improving our
technologies at a pretty rapid clip,

generation to generation.

And we have been seeing the natural
world as a free source of income.

Within the last couple of generations,
we've got the number of people and the

technological powers to
wreck the Earth

in a way that we never had
the power to before.

An oil well ripped
open when a drilling rig blew up.

Is that oil in
danger now of escaping into the sea?

Uh, that is correct.

One of the things that pushed the
Deepwater Horizon disaster was pushing time,

pushing profit.

It led to mistake after mistake after
mistake, which led to the completely

predictable outcome of the worst offshore
drilling oil spill in world history.

That
oil has formed a slick

up to 100 miles long,
and 30 miles wide.

It's very typical
in these projects

that workers will be
pushed faster than

they should be pushed, technology will be
pushed faster than it should be pushed.

Massive error is almost
always the result,

and hose errors have
disastrous consequences.

Tsonga Enabler, Arctic Sunrise uh, is
here to protest peacefully against the

preparations for
reckless drilling.

What you are doing is
an historic mistake.

It's going to be a huge environmental
disaster if an oil spill happens here.

I mean, the problem with this
particular area is that it's so remote.

I don't think there is any
means to really clean it up.

With large-scale drilling
operations, time is money.

And that is probably not
going to change on Mars.

It's the next frontier, the
next logical step for industry.

So I can certainly see the same debate
playing out, no matter where we go.

Pretty impressive
build, when you think about it.

Yeah, fast one too,
almost cost you an arm.

That was an accident.

Have you seen their
expansion plans?

In four years, Lukrum will overtake
Olympus Town in purpose and population.

I don't want to think about four
days from now, much less four years.

And it all could have been avoided
if you just asked Amelie to stay.

There was no point.

She had already
made up her mind.

And anyway, personal feelings
take a back seat to duty.

Isn't that what you tell
yourself about Hana?

Big mouth.

- I have eyes.
- Yeah, I bet you do.

Fellas. Kurt Hurrelle here.
Got some questions for you.

Is this from sector 8?

- Yeah.
- Anything?

No, it's all inert, other than
the microbial form we already know.

Magnify it.

It's not
going to matter.

I just want to
take a closer look. Magnify.

Yeah,
there's no difference.

- Go to 800.
- Marta.

Just do
what I tell you.

I just have to show progress.

And we can only do so
much from the surface.

I know.

Maybe they should have spent more
on drills and ground-penetrating radar,

than on a new lab.

Maybe those bastards at
Lukrum have the right idea.

Commander.

To what do I owe the honor?

I need to bring some
issues to your attention.

First being water usage.

You're taking 10% more from our
supply than we had agreed on.

Well, maybe we can make
up for that by unplugging now.

We found an ice shelf nearby,
so we'll no longer need to

draw any supplemental
water or power.

Actually I was just hashing out
the details with your guys here.

Right, guys?

We want to deactivate the pipeline, but
leave it available for emergencies.

That's fine.

That's not the only issue.

I understand you need time to
fully outfit your mission,

but you also have
a commitment to ours.

Solar mirrors.

That's the other thing I was
talking to your guys about.

We will get our first one
over to you as soon as we can.

Thank you.

Comms,
Commander Seung.

Commander Seung.

Hey listen, sorry, just assumed
you had already been notified.

It's okay.

Hana, really.

They just called
us in. We had no idea.

I said it's okay.

End communication.

I think
we're in trouble.

I think you are.

Unbelievable. I have never
met anyone more condescending,

disrespectful, more sexist.

It's been a struggle for
me too, being taken seriously.

You know, it's still hard
being a woman in charge.

But I must admit, I'm a little surprised that
Leslie got into bed with Lukrum like this.

I don't think she
likes me very much anymore.

She probably
doesn't like her job very much.

It's hard, maintaining all the funding,
managing public perception. It's.

Are you okay?

Speaking in Korean...

Yeah, I'm just tired.

Mostly of being weightless.

Anyway, as far as Leslie's concerned, you
have to just give her time to find her way.

Everybody deserves that.

Yeah.

Secretary General,
you asked to see me?

Yes, thank
you for coming, Anika.

Take a seat.

Do you see where I am?

Where I sit at this table?

Of course.

It is my responsibility to keep
this organization at the forefront

of space exploration.

I need help in achieving that.

You have
our full support.

And I need respect.

Part of the reason
why I was approached

to take this position
was because unlike

anyone at this table,
I have been to Mars.

Not even Joon Seung
could say that.

So rather than invoking the spirit of my
predecessor, I need you as my colleague

and as my friend, to look
forward, and not back.

You know what's
funny, I'm in a better

shape now than I was
before I got here.

Aerobically,
maybe, but your muscles.

I know.

But every little bit will help
me readjust to Earth's gravity.

Mae, end simulation.

Now I just need to check my labs and
approve myself for the return flight.

Mae, lab results on Amelie
Durand, start with blood work.

Durand, Amelie, female.

Chem panel normal,
lipid panel, normal.

CBC normal.

Hormone panel, HCG detected
outside normal range.

Wait, no.

That has to be a mistake.

Uh, Mae, detail
hormone panel results.

HCG detected
at IUL 426.

Patient appears to be approximately
four weeks pregnant.

No, oh my God, no.

Hey Joon, a few of us are
going to eat in the galley.

You want to join us?

No, I have a
bit of a headache.

You want
something for it?

Always the
doctor, aren't you?

I'm fine.

I'll just turn in
early, I think.

Next time.

Stop, rewind.

Play.

Rewind, play.

Zoom in.

Zoom in.

Delete footage.

You understand, don't you?

Send message?

No. Save it.

Message saved.

It was good while
it lasted, this pipeline.

Shame to shut it down, your
colony put a lot of work into it.

So did yours.

Who says science and industry
can't get along, right?

Hate to interrupt but are
we going to do this or not?

We're ready
if you're ready.

Launch
shutoff sequence.

Affirmative,
systems ready.

Let's do this, then.

Disengaging.

And not a minute too soon.

The different kinds
of people that go to Mars

will have a
wildly different vision

for the place.

You know, you're certainly going to have
people who really say, you know what?

This is our place to mold into something
that meets the needs of humanity.

And there are other people that are
like hey, we don't want any of that.

We want to preserve this place as
it is, and we want you to stay out.

So everyone is in the boats, so
we can start launching the kayaks.

I'd describe Sini as a
bit of an activist warrior.

She's just staunch
and unwavering.

She doesn't have to go through a big thought
process to know that what she's doing

is right.

Okay, so we launch
kayak number one first.

You ready?

Bridge, bridge, bridge,
this is Morpheus.

Just letting you know that we have all
the four kayaks in the water now, over.

Well, I truly believe that the people
who work on this oil rig, I mean,

they are just
doing their jobs.

But I would want to ask it, like how can
you sleep your nights knowing that you do

this work.

There must be some sort of a
denial I think people have.

There is
a lot of anger.

But I don't see just the extremes
of an industry versus activists.

We have to be very good at challenging
the black-and-white narrative that

you have to choose sides.

We on Earth have had to struggle
through people fighting and,

and warring with
each other over this.

And so Mars is the test case for how working
together would ultimately benefit us all,

more than working
against each other.

I guess that
makes it official.

I have to be honest.

Sorry to see it go.

Enjoy spending time
with this crew.

Likewise. But hey, you're
still going to see us around.

Commander says I got a bunch
of solar mirrors to make.

Listen, we're having
a going away party tonight.

It can apply to this too.

You guys want to come?

Of course.

But if we get there and there's no
booze, there'll be a little hell to pay.

Javier,
we need to talk.

In private.

I'm pregnant.

What?

I am pregnant.

How is it possible?

I don't know.

I didn't think it was.

We're having a baby?

stop smiling.

It's not a good
thing on any level.

Okay, tell me how I'm
supposed to feel about it, then.


How to act, what to say, since you are the
one who's making all the decisions here.

I can't fight
with you, Javier.

It's not like I planned this.

No, you just
planned to leave.

I don't
know what to do.

There was no indication
that there was anything wrong.

I thought she was sleeping.

She's not breathing.
I need help!

Defibrillator.

Clear.

I'm so sorry.

Several hours ago.

I felt it.

I felt something was wrong.

I pushed it out of my mind.

There was so much going on.

Now see, this is the one thing
you guys haven't got over at your camp.

Ah, well, I think our CEO wants more
output from us before he's going to pony up

any cash for a bar.

You think
IMSF paid for this?

All recovered and recycled materials,
with a little design help from me.

You're a pretty handy guy when you're
not putting your hand in the wrong place.

Funny.

So where's the
big boss tonight?

Knowing
her, still at work.

Incredibly dedicated to the job and
the planet, her and her sister.

They're twins, right?

Identical.

I don't understand how her doctors
could miss something like a tumor.

Your sister
reported no symptoms,

and she passed all the
routine neurological tests.

There was no reason
to scan her brain.

And while a meningioma can cause
seizures, they're usually benign.

We only found it because
we were looking for it.

Did she know?

She knew something.

Do you know what
I've been meaning to ask you?

Yes, and the answer is your place,
because our colony just has bunks.

And by the way, your flirting's
off by a week or two.

It's okay, I think
it's quite cute.

Uh, that wasn't what I
was going to ask you, though.

Well, that is awkward.

Mm. Well, there's
nothing awkward about you.

That is uh, strictly
my department, so.

So go on, then.
What's your question?

Mm, I was just wondering
what you think about being here?

In your colony?

On the planet.

I think it's amazing.

To be somewhere no
one else has been.

I didn't just come
here for work, though.

I came here for the adventure.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah, so, anyway.

I wonder where Amelie is.

She's missing her own party.

Uh, I'm sure
she'll be here soon.

Maybe Shep can keep you
company if you're feeling lonely.

Yup, see you later.

We found lamotrigine
in her bloodstream.

So this wasn't
her only seizure.

She was taking
medication for them.

Yes.

The sort an ordinary blood
test wouldn't screen for.

Which leads me to believe that she was
trying to manage symptoms outside of the

agency's purview.

Because if they had known she was
sick, she couldn't have come here.

No one really knows how being on
a planet with lower gravity and higher

radiation exposure
affects pregnancy.

No one knows what traveling for
seven months in zero gravity and even more

radiation does, either.

Full-term pregnancy might
not even be viable either way.

So you're
talking about.

Yes, Javier.

An abortion might be the best choice,
given all the risks involved.

The problem is there is
nothing certain about any of this.

No, that's not true.

If this baby is born on Mars,
and even if it's healthy,

neither its bones nor its organs

could ever withstand the
gravitational forces on Earth.

It could
never leave here.

I've always
loved science.

Really?

Yeah.

I did pretty well with
it in school, too.

It was my dad who pulled me
into the mining business.

So it runs
in the family?

Yeah, yeah,
you could say that.

Though I don't think he ever thought
I would be mining in space.

So what, I'm guessing you like, what,
you wanted to come here, right?

I didn't start out wanting to
travel to distant planets. Uh-uh.

- No?
- Uh-uh.

But I guess it was a
natural extension of the, well,

the research I'm
devoting my life to.

Hmm, you know what
that sounds like to me?

No.

That you work too hard, and you
need to have a little bit more fun.

I don't know, I'm,
I'm having fun right now.

Yeah?

Well it's too bad we
couldn't have met sooner.

I'm not going to be around much longer now
that we found that ice shelf to tap into.

Well, that was lucky.

No, no.
Finding water, that was lucky.

What do you mean?

Are you saying that
you found liquid water?

Yeah.

I think old Shep here
has had enough to drink.

Are you serious?

As a matter of fact, it's
probably time we all get back to camp.

So is this,
is this true?

Alright guys, let's go.

Because if it is, you need
to tell us where you located it.

Potentially located it.

We haven't exactly
gotten to it yet.

What sector is it in?

I'm not at liberty
to share that information.

Guys, let's not forget
to thank our host.

You don't understand.

Liquid water almost certainly
has other life forms in it.

That's what we're
here to research.

That may be why you're here, but
it's definitely not why we're here.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

No. What you're
doing is not right.

Come on,
guys, let's go.

No, this is wrong.
What you're doing is wrong!

Enough!
You wait a second.

I got to say, I really don't feel
like having a debate about it.

This is not a debate.

You can't just drill and contaminate
something before it can be studied.

I got some news
for you, darling.

The fact that you, me, we're all here, means
it's already contaminated, so if you don't.

You need to tell
us where the water is.

You need to get
your damn hands off me.

You think we're going to let you
and your company wreck this planet?

Okay, stop it.

You're one crazy
bitch, you know that?

Get off of me!

Break it
up, break it up!

Lukrum out!

Every one
of you here, now!

- Knock it off!
- Let's go!

That's it.

Party's over.

Let's go home.

You too.

Back up, back up,
back up, come on.

Easy, tough guy.

Let me go!

You.

This planet doesn't
belong to you.

It doesn't belong to anyone.

Especially if
there's life here.

For the record, tell your boss
your guy threw the first punch.

Bridge, bridge,
bridge, this is Morpheus.

Morpheus,
Bridge, go ahead.

So we are going
to start going in now.

Copy that,
thank you, good luck.

I'm a very practical person,
and I'm not very patient.

We have so many environmental crises heading
against us, and so little time left.

So I feel like I
don't have a choice.

I have to fight this
battle for the future.

Arctic
Sunrise, this is Tsonga Enabler.

All breach of the 500-meter
safety zone is not legal, sir.

So this will be the last request
that you need to relocate.

If not, we will regard
this as a security thr*at.

The activists have
entered the exclusion zone.

The oil rig has
stopped operations.

They won't comment on that.

But they're not allowed to
continue drilling for oil.

Morpheus, Bridge,
go ahead with connection.

The longer we stay here, the
more people start looking at this,

and it highlights
this operation.

Uh, just to let you know
that the connection is completed,

the connection is completed.

Standing by.

Copy that.

Standing by.

We'll see what happens.

When we're looking at Mars, and
companies wanting to go to Mars,

I think people will find a way to protect the
planet, just like they're doing right now.

And that's not just in the
Arctic, but everywhere.

People have gone
through the fence.

The bulldozers
are still going.

A lot of people right now aren't
seeing change, and aren't seeing it happen fast

enough, and see that at this stage, they
simply need to put their bodies on the line.

Police attempts to move
protestors voluntarily were ineffectual.

These battles right now
against new fossil fuel pipelines,

and new drilling
in the Arctic.

Are not just a battle between oil companies
and protesters, it's a battle of worldviews.

We are not complying
with the Coast Guard request.

Are you comfortable with that?

Uh, we will continue protesting
against the oil drilling, over.

If people want a hobby of chaining
themselves to oil platforms, you know, I'd say,

go do it.

I mean, it's wonderful to live in a free
country where you can go do weird things.

But the truth is,
it won't matter.

Preservationists are moving
against the tide of history.

Looks like Coast
Guard is approaching.

What right do you
have to deny the future?

I don't know of any historic civilization
where the preservationists won.

I mean, in the long run,
they get drowned by progress.

For protestors, this is a symbolic
gesture, but how effective they are at actually

stopping things, I don't know.

It's like throwing
stones at Goliath.

You have to take the
people out from the water.

That's an order.

You have to do that.

Morpheus, Bridge,
the ship has been arrested.

You can come back to the ship.

In order to do this, you have to
believe that the change is possible.

Otherwise, we wouldn't
be achieving for it.

Otherwise, we wouldn't
be fighting for it.

I'm a little bit worried that it's
not going to happen fast enough.

But uh, we are pushing for it.

Yeah.

On Mars, there will be a push, a
cause, to maybe do better there

than we've done here.

To maybe protect that beautiful red planet
in a way that we were unable to protect

the Earth.

But I'm not sure how
successful that will be.

No.

I knew
something was wrong.

I wasn't sure what.

Still not sure.

But I couldn't let it stop me.

That's why I moved myself
up in the mission queue.

I knew there wasn't
any more time to waste.

I hope you can forgive me.

But I had to try
and get there.

I knew there was a risk.

I knew there was a chance
that I wouldn't make it.

But I couldn't not try.

Because it was always my
dream, to be with you on Mars.

I'm so sorry.

To leave you like this.

My little sis.

You understand, don't you?
