Below Baseline: When the System Fails, Survival Begins

By Daniel K. Vosse and Daniel Voss

Mars was never meant to be survived.

When a critical system begins to fail inside a Martian habitat, the crew faces a slow and increasingly dangerous breakdown.

Power drops. Air circulation weakens. Pressure readings begin shifting in ways they shouldn't.

At first, the changes are small. Then one failure begins affecting another.

With no immediate rescue possible, the crew must rely on their training, their equipment, and each other. Every decision becomes a trade-off. Saving one system may shorten the life of another. A repair that buys them hours could cost them something they cannot replace.

Outside is an environment that will kill them in minutes. Inside, their margin for survival is disappearing one calculation at a time.

BELOW BASELINE is a technical survival thriller about what happens when engineering, judgment, and human endurance are pushed beyond their limits.

Survival is not guaranteed. It is engineered.
