Emily takes their helmets and brings them into the airlock. She returns for a life support unit, pulls it out of the rack in the wall, and sets it down on the floor. Following a mental checklist, she makes sure that the air tank is connected properly and the status display reads what it should. Everything okay... or is it? She double-checks with the check list on the wall. Yes, this unit is ready. She triple-checks everything - first time it actually matters. Reasonably satisfied with her findings, she carries it over to the air lock. Then, she repeats this procedure for the second unit. Finally, she helps Lena up and they get into the airlock.

The outer door of the airlock silently swings aside and they start walking, Lena leaning on Emily.
Lena leaning on Emily, they walk over to the grave yard. They reach the graveyard and walk over to the recent graves.

Lena sits down next to a grave and gestures for Emily to take the life support unit off her back. Emily takes it off and places it behind her. Lena leans against it. She turns her radio on and Emily does the same.
"Ultimately, you were right." She is interrupted by coughing. "If more had taken Tony’s cure - no matter what risk it posed - maybe some of them would be alive now."
