Soldiers on a One way Mission to Mars

[scheides]

So, of course, I had a dream about this last night.

I was stuck on Mars in like this weird space station (but on mars, ya know), it was tall and tringular shaped, 3 levels. Top level ceiling and floor were glass, to let light down to the bottom levels. Second level was a loft for sleeping, and base level was basically a kitchen/lab thing.

I was with a few people, and our ship had landed a ways away from this place, but we had somehow made it to it. We were stuck there, and unsure about how to get back to earth.

Obviously I had no idea if we were there on a mission or something, so I spent my time wandering around the place (it was quite big) trying to figure out how we were going to survive, how we'd get fresh oxygen, how long of a power source we had, and how we were going to live in the cold/heat. I ended up lighting a gas stove (like a cooktop, like you'd find in a kitchen) for heat, but then realized it was burning our oxygen, and that's when I woke up in a panic. I realized that we must be able to get more stuff off of our ship, since we had gotten into this place somehow in the first place. This gave me a little comfort, for being stuck on a far away planet with little chance of ever leaving.

Mostly I was wondering how it'd feel to suffocate from running out of oxygen.

Good times!
