Misha, ever the calming force on Atlas, relays a (true!)
Oh, it happens.
Of course it happens!
The crew quarters are lost to them.
The outlook of their situation is dire.
Everyone is grappling with the impending death of the crew of the Atlas.

Will this lie come back to bite Melissa?
Im here for their great love story, but this cannot be healthy!
Emmas honored she was the one with him for his last one.
Theyve come such a long way, what a thing to see!
Lus perfect final words she sends to the heads of the Joint Initiative: It was worth it.
