Hatsune Miku X Senko: Extraplanetary Love

The year is 2025. Over 400 astronauts trained for this mission. 50 were chosen. And with SpaceX's Starship performing its 3rd lunar return only a year earlier, humanity was ready for the next step. Mankind will set foot on Mars. Hatsune Miku and Senko Kitsune, two well-trained test pilots, are among the few chosen to command the Starship. Only about a month ago, the Starship had performed another static fire with little to no flaws. Starship was ready to embark on a mission more dangerous than that of the Apollo missions, as well as the Artemis missions. Mars is no planet like Earth. It has a very thin atmosphere, a lower gravity than Earth, and it's also got some bad storms, among other things. However, Perseverance and Ingenuity, two vehicles sent to Mars on July 30, 2020, had performed flawlessly, and both had survived a serious Martian storm. Now back to Miku and Senko, these two had been together ever since 5th grade, and have developed a strong friendship. By the time 10th grade rolled around, they had grown closer than friends. No one knows about their love for each other, yet. Anyways, Senko has always wanted to set foot on the red planet, ever since she learned about Curiosity and Opportunity. Since then, Senko had been working hard to achieving her goal. Miku saw this, and when Senko told her about it, Miku said she didn't want Senko to go without her. So Miku joined along in her training. Now, with 5 years of experience, and having flown aboard Crew Dragon 15 times, and one mission with Starship, both were ready for a Mars mission. But a surprise awaits them along the way. What is the surprise? And how will it affect the mission? What will happen during the 8-month journey to Mars? Read this story to find out!
