The Balhae Lunar Mission

The team is debriefed about their mission at Balhae: it is to retrieve an unknown sample from Balhae Station and to keep it cool until it is returned back to Earth. They will have 24 hours from landing to retrieve it, which is kept in three different locations at Balhae Station. Song Jian is concerned and asks for disclosure what is the sample they are retrieving, as it sounds like a suicide mission. Director Choi insists that they should just do their job and says that the information about the sample has been lost when the tragic event happened. Yunjae just tells his team that this is just like any other mission. Song Jian confronts Yunjae that the mission is ominous that vital information is withheld and looking bleak with a 10% chance of survival. Yunjae asks her if she is still joining, to which she still replied a yes.
