INSPIRED BY THE STORYTELLING OF THE BEST SHOWS HE SAW, TINSDALE IMAGINED TAKING A TV-QUALITY STORY IN THE OTHER DIRECTION
Maintenance engineer Jack Leary is working the graveyard shift at Prospect One, a remote mining outpost on Mars, when he receives a red alert from the nearby station of Fort Solis. Suspicious that it was manually activated rather than automated, he calls in to request a response; when that isn’t forthcoming, he tells colleague Jessica Appleton that he’s heading over to investigate. With storm warnings incoming, he hops inside a bulky rover to drive the short distance to the other base, the audio score as the vehicle trundles toward its destination making it clear he’s unlikely to receive a warm welcome. The signs, then, are already ominous when, shortly after his arrival, he delivers a dire warning over the radio to his co-worker: “Jess… Solis… we are not alone!” But then he immediately breaks into laughter. He’s only kidding. Everything’s fine. For now.
