When the humans naturally get their hands on that too, the whole planet is endangered and the end to THIS mini-Earth is a quickly forgettable gaseous blip in the galaxy

info_outlineTwo astronauts exploring Jupiter's moon Io are involved in a tragic accident, which kills one of them and destroys their rover. The survivor, whose damaged equipment makes her dependent on the dead astronaut’s functional oxygen tank, must drag her dead companion for several kilometers across the surface of Io towards their lander and safety. But when a mysterious voice starts talking to her and claims to be Io itself, she’s torn between believing it’s another hallucination from taking pain medications or if the moon is a sentient machine and it’s actually true. When she realizes that she will not make it back to the lander in time, she makes the decision to believe the voice and jumps into a large, boiling sulfur lake, in the hope that it might preserve her consciousness to merge with the mind of Io.
