Earth: JPL 12:01am

"What do you mean? The oxygenator isn't meant to be under this much stress... We built it to withstand at least a year" Samara said in her thick English accent.

Samara (Mara)  Fletcher was one of NASA's best engineers. She built the oxygenator along with the Mars Accent Vessel. She wasn't the only one that was valuable to NASA at the current time. Eleanor Brochavich, previous ARES II commander.

"What I meant is that it won't last four years... Even if it does they'll be long gone." Eleanor said. All of NASA was working there asses off just to save two astronauts.

"The food line of this isn't my problem, I'm working on machinery. I don't know why they wanted me to work with you, your an astronaut I'm and engineer just one of NASA's mice." Mara huffed as she typed furiously on her key board.

Earth: NASA 1:00pm

Mindy ran into the office her hands full of papers "Sorry!" She apologised quickly as she accidentally bumped into another employee.

"Mr. Kapoor!" She said running into his office. "T-The airlock... Airlock one it-" she was cut off.

"Mindy, slow down your not making any sense he said. Now start from the beginning." He ushered her on.

"Right..." She fixed her glasses and handed Kapoor the handful of photos. "Airlock one came right off the Hab... I'm waiting for the next imagery to come through to determine if they are alive or not..." She said.

"Shit..." He murmured looking down at the photos. "They have pathfinder, right?" He said looking up at her.

"Ughhhh, yes they do." She confirmed. "But what does that have anything to do with-"

"Communication." He finished her sentence. "Dakota is a smart woman, if they're still alive no doubt that she would be working on Pathfinder. I'm going to JPL, keep me updated on new imagery that comes through you know my email". With that said he dismissed her from his office.

Earth: JPL 3:00pm

Eleanor sat in her teaching room tapping her pencil on the desk, she was a teacher now; no longer a commander. NASA couldn't do anything at this point to save the two astronauts, at this point in time it was like watching the plot to a movie fold out.

She had a run in with Samara, one of NASA's best engineers and prized possession to JPL. Mara was a kind young woman but she had a sense of humour about her, it was like having a Watney 2.0 of some sort.

Fitz was also a very talented engineer from England as well. He worked for the American government along with his friend Jemma who was talented in bio-chem. NASA had used their help before and they may need them again, they argued more then a married couple about the sciences of gravity and molecular structures.

Eleanor finished marking the last of her papers when one answer from her students caught her eye. "Smart-ass" she scoffed with a small smile. Most teachers would mark the question wrong if it was wrong but this student was a complete smart-ass about it. She ticked the answer correct for creativity. He was going to go places, some would say that are out of this world.
