<h1> &lt;Emily incoming call&gt; </h1>
<p class="comment">
At some point before this chapter, the protagonists need to make phone
calls happen &ndash; probably from the perspective of those on Earth as
most of the things in the Lunar Biosphere have been at least kinda
maintained.

Emily finds herself laying on the floor, still staring into the sky.
</p>
<p class="light">

</p>
<p>
She lifts her head.
</p>
<p class="light">

</p>
<p>
That&apos;s the phone in the control room.

Emily turns onto her side and slowly gets up. Her back hurts.
</p>
<p class="light">

<p>
<span class="quote speech">On my way, I&apos;m on my way.</span> she says
in a soft <span class="comment">matten?</span> voice.
</p>
<p>
The phone rings a few more times but stops before she can make it there.
She realizes how thirsty she is and takes a detour to the nearest kitchen.
She thinks <span class="quote non-speech">Water! Yes!</span> but her
excitement quickly turns into disgust as a brown liquid full of clumps
<span class="comment">sprudelt?</span> from the tap. The detour gets
bigger.
</p>
<p>
After getting water from Tony&apos;s lab and feeding the mice &ndash;
which she had neglected to do &ndash; she goes into the main control
room. The terminal for communication with Earth is lit up,
showing a message. Emily sits down and, before even reading it, starts
typing.
</p>
<pre class="terminal">
<span class="blur">MICHELLE @ EARTH-53 <b>></b> A message Emily doesn&apos;t register and won&apos;t remember.</span>
LENA @ MOON-01 <b>></b> Lena is dead.
MICHELLE @ EARTH-53 <b>></b> I am so sorry.
MICHELLE @ EARTH-53 <b>></b> My condolences.
MICHELLE @ EARTH-53 <b>></b> Are you ok to talk? Or do you need some time?
<span class="comment">TODO: change above message</span>
