Uhg, I would be in EXACTLY her predicament if I took this test. I HATE the cold. As such, I empathize really strongly with Maren. I would definitely try and wait out as long as I could in the relative warmth of the escape pod, and pray for the best for the last 24 hours. Then again, something tells me that there is no way this will be quite as easy as Maren hopes it could be.

A very promising beginning: it makes sense that Maren's first reaction to this would be to try and find a way around it using technology. Very in keeping with her character. Of course whether she will succeed... Guess I'll have to keep reading! :) I liked the descriptions of the Antarctic and the little call back to the ST movie.

Just realize that I never left you a review for this first chapter, so better late than never here you go.
Well first off you’ve bring Maren O’Conner to life and made her thought process and choices flow naturally. From her refusing to accept being locked out of the computer and secondary sensor and her assessment of her options to go to Alert or wait the weather out.
I was a little surprise that Maren was that confidant in her own programming abilities that she felt she could cheat with out Starfleet working it out.
Still that nice final line did sum up Maren mindset.

Ah yes, the dreaded Starfleet survival training. Considering the desperate situations Starfleet officers seem to find themselves in every other week or so, this little exercise seems to make a lot of sense.
But Maren appears to have a different solution here. Cheat your way through it. Let's see if this method works for somebody not named Kirk.

Ah, Maren breaking the rules and doing it in splendid fashion. The way you describe it here makes it seem damn cold, which I can completely understand Maren (lithe thing that she is) not caring for it at all. Her musings and her thought processes are full of entertaining bits, but she's always thinking ahead, determined to succeed. We'll see if she does, hmm?
