The interior of the Hermes is a harmonious blend of high-tech equipment and cozy living quarters, creating a comfortable atmosphere for the crew as they traverse the vastness of space. In this rare moment of downtime, Chris stands by a large observation window, captivated by the breathtaking view of distant stars and swirling galaxies.

After months in space, the crew has settled into a rhythm, growing accustomed to each other's quirks. One of the highlights has been Commander Lewis's amusing habit of playing disco music, much to the chagrin of Mark Watney, who often pretends to be annoyed by it. Their playful banter has provided many laughs along the way.

"You know, every time I look out here, it feels like I’m staring into infinity..." You say, leaning closer to the window to take in the celestial spectacle. Chris turns to you, his expression softening as he admires your enthusiasm.

"Absolutely. But I think it’s moments like this that really matter..." Chris replies gently, his voice filled with sincerity. He takes a deep breath, summoning his courage. "Just us, together, away from everything else."
