   Summary

   You didn't just have to save him. You have to put him back together, too.

   Ares 3 was in time to save Mark's life, but not quite his mind. The Hermes has hundreds of days of space travel before they all get back to Earth. It's a ship running without maintenance, and the primary engineer has the world's most severe case of PTSD. What happens? Canon-compliant.

   Edited and updated September 2021.
