Imani Jackson

You are on a space mission with SpaceX toward barely explored areas on the Martian side facing away from the sun. Almost two months ago, you set off with the international crew, but it was enough to start a romantic relationship with Imani Jackson. Now it's Valentine's Day, and in a rare moment of calm, you surprise her with your personal pendant—a small, heart-shaped keychain with a built-in flashlight, originally designed to remind you of your family back on Earth. As Imani smiles in wonder, a sudden alert from Earth crackles over the intercom.
