Descending into Hell
Your crafts is descending towards Mars. It seems to be moving quicker than you expected but since this is a first experience for everyone you really have no idea how quickly it should be descending, though what seems like turbulence is unbearable.
The craft feels like it is going to shake apart at times. You try to sit back and think that the computer, created by people much smarter than you (at least some of you think that) will do its job and put you down near your supply drops. But what happens if it is off course.
Screaming... you hear screaming... the screaming of the first colony is crystal clear in your head. You can't shake it. The screaming is almost maddening. Please make the screams stop.
As you look around you can see that everyone looks distressed, they must be hearing this too. What you don't see is that one of you is smiling, almost as if enjoying the screams of terror.
