Monday morning at 5:00 am Mark James turns off his alarm, one of these days I'm going to throw that damn thing out the window. Mark is a 45-year-old systems engineer at the largest aerospace company in the U.S. located in south Texas. He is a little overweight due to all the time he spends sitting at a desk he is starting to show some gray at the sides of his dark brown hair. He had to go into work early today because they were doing the final test of a new rocket engine that uses 38 percent less fuel and double the output power than the current ones. He gets up and heads to the bathroom for his morning routine. After brushing his teeth and shaving he gets into the shower, after he is done with his shower as he was turning off the water everything went black.
Monday morning at 7:00 am Susan Cook, a 28-year-old software programmer in Palo Alto California, Susan is 5' 7" tall with a slim build and blond hair. She is sitting at the table eating breakfast thinking about the problem she was having with a piece of software. She was working on a new security software for one of the largest companies in the world. She thinks she now knows what the problem is and wants to get to the office to fix it so they can start finalizing it. She got up to put her dishes in the dishwasher. After getting dresses and grabbing her bag she heads out to her car, as she was reaching to open the door everything went black.
