1:23.6

That's not good.

You gotta start being more specific. The sides of the pit are a lot closer now. If it carries on like this, we could get stuck. Would that trigger Virgil's auto ascent? Possibly. Or we'll get trapped down here. If that happens, we might starve to death. Or depending on what systems go next, we might run out of air and exfixiate. Or maybe those crab things find a way to open that door, in which case we'll probably be disembaled or torn apart limb from limb.

1:48.6

You could stop being specific now. How could Marcus do this to us? No, no point trying to guess what's going on inside his head. We just need to focus on how to get out of here. No, but how? Sand Signal Boy was all we had. Without help from the surface, we're just sitting ducks.

1:46.1

Well, no, we're just sitting ducks.

2:02.1

Well, no, we're sinking ducks. Much worse.

Yeah, it's funny.

2:19.8

I always assumed the command module was like the Virgil's brain or something, you know?

2:25.4

But I guess I was wrong about that, too.

2:28.4

There's actually not a lot we can do from here except steer the bloody thing.

2:32.0

And as far as we can tell, there's no other way to force an override?

2:35.2

I could try landing on one of those jutting out rocks, but it'd be a hell of a risk.

2:39.8

I'd kind of like a confirmation from Virgil that is possible, but...

Well...

I mean, we might just...
