LOST

Never accuse Samantha and the crew on Mars of having a deficit of courage. They descended into a mysterious passageway with no guarantee of ever being seen again, all in the search for two stowaways.

The danger was real, and averted only because Samantha realized that whenever liquid recedes, it tends to return with a vengeance. Fortunately they were swept to safety, instead of into the bowels of the planet.

Only after all the human crew was safe and back at the base did Samantha break down at the loss of the dodos. After all the trouble they’ve caused she genuinely grieved for them. However, that may have been too soon.
