Plot.
Troy Holloway, Milton and Lieutenant Harris are astronauts for the Orbis Mining Corporation on "Aten 2024 DEC". After a space mining accident, Milton and Lieutenant Harris are killed. Holloway, a prospector and engineering technician, evacuates aboard the "EEV Khapera 2" with Milton's corpse. Holloway, the lone survivor of the three, awakens and establishes contact with Commander Roberts, the new pilot of "Hathor 18". The "EEV" beacon is down and Holloway is unable to inform "Hathor 18" of his coordinates. Roberts attempts to triangulate the position of the "EEV" using the PLB.
Roberts questions Holloway as to the extent of his medical injuries, which include a concussion. Shortly after, Roberts triangulates the beacon of the "EEV" and discovers Holloway's position. She informs him that the "EEV"'s departure from "DEC" has set him on course for the Sun, a fact which Holloway had already assumed with the Sun visible from the "EEV"s window.
Holloway is informed of the many damaged parts of the "EEV" including temperature control issues and a radiation leak. As Roberts attempts a rescue with "Hathor 18", Holloway makes repairs, sustaining multiple injuries in the process. The window of the "EEV" begins to crack and Holloway soon begins to lose hope. He urges Roberts to turn back and avoid an attempt to rescue him in order to save her life and the life of her fellow crew members. She informs him that she has strict orders from Control to rescue at least one member of "Aten 2024 DEC".
As the "EEV" is propelled closer and closer to the Sun, Holloway continues making repairs, including one on the outside of the ship. As his oxygen levels decrease and he drifts closer to losing consciousness, he once again urges Roberts to turn back due to the risk of both vessels from the Sun, but she refuses to give up on him and tells him not to give up. Holloway informs Roberts that he will be coming through the window of the "EEV" and tells her to pull in front of him. She does so just as his air levels deplete. He says aloud that he is going home and readies himself as the window shatters.
