A Heat Struggle.

Medical Director Personal Log:

"Everyday feels like a struggle here. The crews rotate between here and the Ship. The heat is almost unbearable. We are in the process of setting up heat exchangers but 100 plus mouths breathing in and out and the building of structures for the crew to live and work in, has increased the heat in here. Of course we needed our new Nuclear Power Plant and that only adds to the heat. I have had a few people come in with heat exhaustion. I've complained to our chief Engineer that there is too much humidity and heat in this confined space. He keeps telling me its not his fault. The Heat Exchangers were damaged in a previous flight. He is doing everything possible short of opening the doors and letting the heat out. Obviously, there would go our atmosphere. So, he say in a couple more days they will be set up. Just be patient. Inside the clinic. One of the few prefabricated structures that was brought from Earth my staff and I have set up all of the medical instruments, machines, and beds. Just in case there are any accidents we are up and running. My staff has been running around giving out construction crews cool Water and sandwiches if they feel hungry. Its kind of interesting being the food supplier and medical clinic. Because, my staff always thought we'd be doing more intense medical procedures, this being Mars and all but instead we are doing preventative care."
