Part 6/9:
Statements from Mission Control imply that Michael’s presence might need to be resolved permanently for the others to survive. This shocking suggestion creates a moral quandary among the remaining crew members. Zoe is adamantly opposed, driven by her compassion, while David grapples with the practical ramifications of their diminished oxygen.
As the days pass, the crew’s situation becomes increasingly dire; the ship's life-support systems begin to fail, and conflicts arise over the ethical implications of their predicaments. Zoe expresses a desperate wish to find an alternative, leading to explosive disagreements with David about the necessity of dire choices.
