Prologue 2: Introductions

My name is Anna Carmichael, I am an American in charge of Group Alpha in the 2nd Dome. I suppose I should introduce my team. Gareth Bridges, he and I went through the training for this together; he is a bit of a hot head, but he is a fine soldier nonetheless. There is Jessica Blackwell, she is from the UK; she is probably the most calm out of everyone in our group, at least on the outside. Dmitri Shostakovitch is the Russian of the group; he can out drink every one of us, though he doesn't like to admit it; says he doesn't want to contribute to the stereotype. Lastly, there is Dana Romanov; she and Dmitri don't get along, probably because she has a crush on Gareth, though I'm not sure what she sees in THAT man. We were with the first crew to arrive on Mars as we are one of the more specialized teams. Gareth is in Head of Security, Jessica is the Lead Chemical Engineer, Dmitri works as the Oxygen Generation System (OGS) Expert (he is the one that actually designed the original prototype) where Dana works with him, then I suppose that leaves me: I am the United State Liaison with the Global Lead Alliance for Space Exploration (GLASE.) We all operate in the 2nd dome, as each dome has their own independent systems. Sure, it made the project cost another 20 Million Dollars per dome, but we had decided it best in the unlikely event of a system failure, it would be isolated to the one dome.
