Thanatos It has been two years after the crash of the Schiaparelli, a probe set to explore Mars. Few months after the crash, the Trace Gas Orbiter picked up footage of an odd black mass emerging from the crater left from the crash. In curiosity, NASA assembled a team of three to travel to the site on the shuttle Thanatos and investigate in hopes of information regarding extraterrestrial life.
