Scientists, pilots and the underground mission

The ensemble combines scientific expertise with the flight crew needed to operate the vessel. Keyes identifies the crisis, while Beck and Iverson provide the piloting experience. The central rescue plan involves restarting the core with nuclear detonations. Treat the subterranean voyage as a science-fiction disaster premise rather than an account of an actual expedition.
