Mia Bennett (born in 2032) was the Geologist at Bowie Base One on Mars.
Born in Houston, Texas, her father was an astronaut. She became fascinated by his work and, after graduating from Stanford University, followed him into his research of planetary geology. Along with her father and using soil samples from Mars, she proved that Earth plant life could grow on Martian soil with the help of chemicals. This was a major breakthrough in Mars colonisation. Her research dovetailed with Andy Stone's, and the two worked together.
She travelled to Mars in 2058. After seventeen months one of the crew, Stone was infected by The Flood. The Doctor arrived at the same time, she witnessed six of her fellow crew members get infected by The Flood. The Doctor knew her death was a fixed point in time only he saved her, and two other members of her crew. He took her back to Earth 2059 where she was in shock, she ran off followed by Yuri.
