While working at NASA in 2001, Austin was offered the chance to join a team in going through a portal created by the Monolith and learning to where it transported them. Austin eagerly volunteered alongside Will Daniels, Brubaker and G. Taylor. Once they arrived, they set up base and began work while waiting for NASA to figure out a way to bring them home.[1]
Madness and Suicide[]
- "It has this way of getting inside your head and just making you crazy. Austin threw himself off a cliff. Brubaker set himself on fire. Taylor took an axe to the gear and then he came after me."
- ―Will Daniels[src]
One day, the crew decided to explore while Will Daniels stayed behind and protected the camp. During this time, a huge sandstorm briefly swept the land. When they returned, each of the astronauts were enthralled by Hive and began losing control of their sanity, as Austin committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.[1]
