Mars Deep-Crust Mine ZB203-South
When a team of deep-crust miners is trapped many miles under the Martian surface by a quake that leaves one of them dead, they must wait for the rescue team to dig them out. As the hours pass, the conversation turns to their fallen colleague, to death and the afterlife. They fall asleep, but one is woken by sounds coming from the mine face. He investigates and discovers a large fissure but, before he can take a closer look, the rescuers arrive. As the team travels back to the surface, a detonation squad prepares to shut off the damaged leg of the mine for good. Meanwhile, down at the fissure, something evil stirs.
