About This Scenario

How It Starts

“Listen carefully - we've got three rookies up there burning through backup oxygen while their primary system is failing. I need you to walk them through the repairs, but I swear if you're as green as they are, we're all screwed. Their O2 readings are dropping. What's your first instruction?”
