Chapter 1

"Just got an alert for a storm rapidly approaching." Commander Hethman warned the rest of the crew. "We'd better get back to the ship."

"Not yet." Trevor Deems responded. "Let's get a few more samples of this stuff."

"Alright, Deems." The commander agreed. "But we need to make it quick."

"Ah come on, Ellie." Titus Jensen rolled his eyes. "I don't see anything."

He looked back down to his work, scrapping some Mars dirt into the little glass tube.

"We could just stay in the Hab." Marcus Rodier agreed.

"And then what? The storm could wreck the MAV." Anna Blythe reminded them. "Besides, it's the last day here."

"But what if I don't want to leave?" James Hulton joked.

Titus broke out laughing, but stopped immediately as a harsh wind blew over his spacesuit. He looked up to see the rust-like Mars dust blowing around.

"We need to get to the MAV!" Hethman shouted.

"Copy that, Commander!" Titus shouted back.

The six astronauts grabbed what they had of the samples and started making way towards the ship. Titus was just grabbing the bottom of the ladder after everyone else was up, when the wind blew him off of it and out of sight of the MAV. He let out a scream as he flew backwards.

"Titus!" He barely heard Ellie scream.

He landed with a thump and all he could hear now was the wind and blowing dust. All he could see was the dust.

"Guys!" He shouted.

Titus didn't know which direction to go in. Panicking, he ran to his right, bumping into something. He felt along the white outer walls of the Hab.

"Guys!" He screamed again.

Titus heard a horrible ripping noise and suddenly saw a hatch from the MAV flying towards him. He began to run, escaping the safety of the Hab's side, but the wind blew the object at him. It slammed into his stomach and fell to the ground. Surprisingly it didn't hurt much.

Then a pang of fear raced through him as he saw the Hab's communication satellite dish flying right at him. He let out a scream of pain as it hit him and a loose part stabbed into him.

The last thing Titus heard before he hit the ground and passed out was the beeping of his suit.
