A dusty Martian landscape under the dim light of Phobos and Deimos. Ana, dressed in a bulky spacesuit, feels the Martian soil beneath her boots. She glances back over her shoulder, expecting to see Earth but finds only an empty void, her expression filled with disbelief and confusion.
Ana felt the Martian soil beneath her boots, her heart pounding. She turned around for one last look at Earth—but it wasn’t there.
The Lost Home
Inside the Mars base command center, flashing red lights and beeping instruments create a chaotic atmosphere. Ana, with wide eyes, stands in front of a holographic screen showing the Martian sky, now devoid of Earth. Jon, the Mars Commander, is beside her, his face a mix of shock and determination, barking orders at the scrambling crew.
The crew scrambled, instruments beeping frantically. Mars Commander Jon barked orders, his voice barely masking panic.
Realization
A close-up of Ana's face, her eyes reflecting the void where Earth should be. Her expression shifts from disbelief to a dawning horror as she processes the gravity of their situation. Behind her, the rest of the crew can be seen through the glass of the command center, all staring at the sky with a similar shock.
'Gone?' Jon echoed, incredulous.
The New Exile
All characters are now gathered on the Martian surface, bathed in the pale glow from the moons. Jon stands at the forefront, facing the team. His eyes reflect a fierce determination as he delivers the grim reality. Ana stands beside him, her face a mix of fear and acceptance. The empty Martian horizon stretches out behind them, symbolizing their new, isolated reality.
The rest of the team gathered around, staring at the empty sky.
