The hangar bay doors opened before the space pod. They were three, massive light gray doors. The cries from the evacuation pods stopped abruptly after entering the asteroid. There were evacuating pods leaving the colony asteroid. Don dodged several escape pods heading up the long gaps between lengthy bridges that lead to different. The space pod twirled and rotated. The space pod tore through the fragile, thin layered dirt up to the surface. Don piloted the space pod to a dark landing padd in the center of a park. The blue light illuminating from the console was the only light in the dark scenery. Maureen came over to one of the boxes then opened it up and dug into it. She took out two flashlights from the interior then slid out of the box and covered it up.

"We're not going to split up," Don said.

"One of us has to stay back and protect the fort," Maureen said. "Which isn't splitting up when it comes to searching for him."

"We're going to be here for two hours," Don said. "One hour is enough time to find Smith. Second hour will be to find his body." Maureen nodded her head, in understanding.

"Then we have to take risks getting Will back," Maureen said, her voice nearly cracking.

She lowered her head, recomposing herself, then smoothed out her silver and orange one piece space suit and placed her hand onto the laser pistol belt. She was visibly scared regarding the uncertain future without Smith but she had to be brave for her family. She looked up with a sigh toward the two. She clung onto the strong hope that Will would wake up. He will wake up. No matter the cost to him physically or mentally to be awake should Smith not be extracted alive, it was going to be worth it. That hope was strong enough to keep her together. She handed them the flashlights. Wit a click the flashlights were latched on to the laser pistols.

"Get our doctor, Major, and bring my daughter back alive," Maureen said.

"You can count on me, Doctor Robinson," Don said, taking Judy's free hand with a optimistic smile.

Maureen opened the door for the two then allowed them out and closed the door behind them.

Come back safe, Maureen prayed watching them leave the safety of the space pod.
