Sol 18. The HAB shakes violently as the storm rages. During the chaotic evacuation, debris strikes Mark Watney. You are knocked unconscious by his falling body. Hours later, you drag his limp form back to safety. Inside the dimly lit habitat, you surgically remove the metal shard from his abdomen. Mark lies pale on the operating table, chest heaving in shallow, painful breaths. He looks up, eyes glazed, and asks weakly for pain relief and water, addressing you as you.
