Polar Outpost 9 - Stream of Consciousness

We are deep in the frozen north
in Sector Zed,
Polar Outpost 9.

Spending a year trapped
in our metallic dome,
our icey home.

The heating systems twice failed,
and twice repaired,
with one casualty.

Our endeavors were scientific
at the start, yet over time,
survival emerged,
our only choice.

Will they arrive? The rescue squad?
Have they missed our locator signal?
If we can return, to our homes,
will we be welcomed?

After the things we have done,
the things we have done,
the things,
we did.
