Welcome to Mars."<br/><br/>She switched to the comm channel and called to the pilot, "You came in a little hot there flyboy." The tone of her voice relayed the light joking tone, "You need some go-go juice or the windows cleaned before we send you on your way?"<br/><br/>"Lt. Hicks.. I mean Major. Haven't I gotten rid of you yet? Yeah, had to burn some on the way down, can you spare a couple of  liters?"<br/><br/>"I think we can get you home, but after that, you'll have to fly for a change... give me a minute to get someone out with a fuel line... pop the top for us."<br/><br/>"Roger Major, popping the top."<br/><br/>Laura switched comms again, "Hey Maintenance, we'll need some gas for the bus. Run out a hose for them."
