What do the Yellowstone supervolcano and Mars have in common?

Frank and Helen Gould are brother and sister geophysicists working for NASA. Frank is staying with his mother in Atlanta while Helen’s trip to Mars begins.

Read this space opera as a standalone story or catch up with the tale here:

In Atlanta, Georgia

The rhythmic tone from the mobile phone awoke Frank. He held up the display and saw that the incoming call was from the Cascades Volcano Observatory. Additionally, he saw it was 2:14 a.m.

He cleared his throat and tapped the accept-call icon.

“Hello, Dr. Gould here.”

“Frank, my god, am I glad to reach you. Are you in Yellowstone?”

Frank did not recognize the voice. “No, I’m still on vacation. I’m in Atlanta.”
