A medical bag was an integral part of their gear and Tanya was thankful for its presence.
She looked around at the spacious interior. Although threadbare it’s all they needed to make the trip as pleasant as possible. Inside the cabin she could remove the mask as oxygen flowed freely through it.
She would have preferred the fresh air, but this would be the best they have for a long time. Dirk asked her if everything was good and when she acknowledged that she was fine, he went ahead securing more bags to the vessel. He then showed her where to sit, patted her leg and strapped her in, giving her the thumbs up. Only now she noticed that he had changed into another suit and she was grateful that he had not suffered any ill effects from the exposure. She felt the engine pick up speed just as Dirk shuffled away.
This was it. There was no turning back anymore.
