Part 4/9:
In a deft moment of leadership, Susanna, the second-in-command, assigns tasks among the team. Each astronaut is given a role: Luca must find ways to conserve resources, Fidel is to investigate the crash, Jenny focuses on maximizing internal space on the ship, and Herbert explores the possibility of extracting water and oxygen from the Martian environment. The burden of survival weighs heavily on them all.
As the crew continues their grim efforts, Herbert discovers a potential method to extract oxygen using leftover cryogenic fuel, although Luca is understandably skeptical about the safety risks. The story grows darker as they venture outside to bury their captain. Herbert's optimism invites camaraderie among the crew, yet it contrasts with the lurking uncertainty of their survival.
