[WP] Humanity is aware the sun is expanding, the solar system is doomed. You are a part of a successful Mar's colony and Earth is minutes away from being engulfed.

"I'm gonna miss nutella". The young man looked up at the small blue dot in the night sky.

"Really Thomas? Thats all you have to say?" Said the second man.

"Yeah, I knew what was happening when I signed up."

"Jesus, you are cold blooded."

"Thomas get over here!" yelled the captain. The captain made a motion for the young ensign. The ensign made his slow plot over to where Captain James was standing. The light gravity made travel of foot a little slower than everyone was used to.

"Listen, Thomas I need you to get the science geeks inside. They know what is going to happen....but they don't need to see it." The older man knew what was coming. It was going to be the end of the earth as they knew it. 10,000 people. That is what it takes to repopulate and reestablish the human population without the side effects that where undesirable. Mars would be humans last stand. Every one was important. Even this kid here Thomas.

Thomas began rounding up the scientist's and ushering them into the underground sanctuary from the gardens that the humans had created for themselves on mars. The captain looked around and made his presence known. He made a point to look over each person under this small dome. He knew at this time there would be 11 small domes just like his going through the same motions. Each tucking people in that would need to be controlled in the coming future. They were good people, but they had to keep it together if they where to survive; to live, and to keep humanity alive.

Thomas ran up next to the Captain.

"What are you doing here Thomas? I told you to get all the scientist underground."

"Sorry Captain, but I had to see it!" Thomas looked at the Captain eagerly.

"The death of our home? A place where your parents live? Your friends? The people you cared most about?" At that statement the captain looked over at the young ensign.

"No. You have it wrong captain. I already closed the blast doors. Me and yours truly are front row seat to see what happens when an extinction event astroid hits a planet!" The captain took a step back and looked at the ensign.

"Did I tell you why I took this post cap? Before I was here I didn't have much, but before I came here a guy comes to me and says, Don, you film this live I will pay your family enough money that your great grandchildren do not have to work. I said what do I have to do?"

"Thomas what good is an extinction event when every body is dead. Your family is not going to get paid."

"Oh captain you got it wrong. I'm live streaming to earth right now. That astroid aint hitting earth. It is hitting Mars. We are here to see if we can live, if we can survive, and I can't wait for for my Mom to hear what I've done!"

At that time the Captain heard the rumble in the distance. He could feel it under his feet. He knew then that ensign Thomas did not lie.
