"Ma’am, we have no direct comms to the ship, so can’t get you out right now. We are going to proceed with our mission directives as ordered. You stay here; we will leave water and rations plus two Marines for support. The rest are going into the tunnels. If we can’t get communications back up, the Fucker will nuke us in five hours. There has to be an off-world relay station somewhere down there that can get a message out."
