#to put there. bree's fast processing allows her to be very efficient as a sysop

[ad-astra-per-aspera-1389]

is she lab rats posting again? is she the martian posting? OH LOOK AT THAT ITS BOTH

anyway, lab rats elite force the martian sort of fusion au

- the rats still have their chips: they keep them in for the mars mission, since bree's fast comprehension and chase's intelligence are valuable in making sure everything goes smoothly. modified smaller capsules are made for the mission.

- kaz and oliver don't have superpowers in this au, but they did work for mighty med. skylar is still an alien, but all the wormhole technology stuff isn't public knowledge, so it isn't used on the mission

- bree is the sysop, oliver is the doctor ("flight surgeon"), kaz is the chemist (surprising, I know), leo is the backup engineer and pilot, skylar is the commander, and chase has the most mechanical engineering knowledge, as well as picking up botany experiments to pass the time (he technically has expertise in everything, but they made him pick and choose)

- obviously they're all adults in this. chase gets left on mars. theres slight broliver if you squint, I guess

anyway, chase has to survive for a year and a half on mars alone, and there are chip malfunctions to deal with, and capsule repairs...all the while he can't just remove his chip bc that's the thing allowing him to figure out how to stay alive, and if he glitches too badly...well, he can say goodbye to ever seeing his sister and brothers again, because that magnetism app is no joke.
