Emily wakes up. She is laying in bed, facing the large panorama window.
Her eyes wander across the familiar gray moonscape outside before
fixating on the half-visible Earth ball for a moment. A noise - someone
is in her module.
</p>
<p>
She turns around to find her older sister Lena sitting against the
wall - tears running down her face. After a moment to fully wake up and
grasp the situation, Emily asks:<br />
<span class="quote speech">Who?</span><br />
Lena snivels and points to the ring on her finger. <span class="comment">
Dictionary to the rescue! Is that the right word? ... </span>
A grim but not uncommon way for days to begin lately. That leaves five
of them, and since Tony is gone there is no more hope for a cure.

The air hisses in the lines as the door closes behind them. The noise of
the vacuum pumps kicks in and begins to slowly fade.
