Editing Breslauer Weather Station (section)

== Throughout the Series ==
Seven years later, [[Melanie Cavill]] left ''[[Snowpiercer]]'', traveled to the station and booted it up, to do research on [[CW-7]] in the upper atmosphere, using [[weather balloon]]s launched from [[the Engine|''Snowpiercer's'' engine]] as it made a short loop around Asia before it would return to collect her a month later. However, her snowmobile got stuck and she had to abandon it and her food rations before her [[EVA Suit]] ran out of power.<ref name=":0" />

The reason Melanie couldn't complete the climate model is because, according to Alex, Melanie's data systems need a reliable power source to create a climate model.<ref>[[A Great Odyssey]]</ref>

Melanie then lost all of the food rations that she had brought with her when an avalanche of ice and rock destroyed her sled and snowmobile before she could unload it, and the station's crew had long since eaten all the food that was left before they died. But she later discovered a previously unknown geothermal vent hidden behind one of the Station's walls, where a colony of rats had been surviving the Freeze for seven years. She began catching and cooking some of these rats to survive.

Melanie did complete the climate research data, though she had failed to promptly respond to one of ''Snowpiercer's'' balloons because the weather station's radio tower collapsed while she was there. She repaired the tower and restored her link with the balloons. Now without a snowmobile, Melanie had to carry her research on a sled and walk from the station back to the Rocky Mountains Test Track. ''Snowpiercer'' returned to pick up Melanie and her data and was aware of her presence trackside, but the train sped past her without stopping, because of Wilford.<ref name=":1">[[Into the White]]</ref>

Melanie then returned to the station. Knowing that her batteries could only keep her alive for a few more hours, Melanie chose to sacrifice herself to ensure humanity's future, by keeping the drives safe for months on a trickle charge, knowing that [[Alexandra Cavill|Alex]] would come back and continue her work. After writing her a letter, Melanie donned her suit and walked into the Freeze to die.<ref name=":1" />

Later, after stopping the [[Pirate Train]] near the station, [[Andre Layton|Layton]] and Alex treked together to the station to find Melanie. Upon arrival, they discovered the temperature inside to be -97 degrees and the geothermal vent had shut down. After discovering what had happened to her, they returned to the train with the drives. Aboard the train, Layton and his crew discovered Melanie's mission was a success and that several areas of the Earth are warming. The train then departed, abandoning the station once more.

Over six months later, [[Joseph Wilford]] came to the conclusion that Melanie was actually still alive and that she had somehow survived the events at the research station.<ref>[[Ouroboros]]</ref> By following a trail of track switches back to Neckbreaker, Alex and [[Bennett Knox]] realized that Wilford was right. The two came to the conclusion that Melanie had managed to make her way from the research station to a hanger located somewhere on Neckbreaker, where she got a [[Track Scaler]] going which could carry her around the world.<ref>[[Setting Itself Right]]</ref> Melanie's vehicle was later detected on satellite in Hungary. ''Snowpiercer'' subsequently rescued Melanie who had kept herself alive for six months by using the [[Suspension Drug|suspension drug]] for [[the Drawers]].<ref>[[A Beacon for Us All]]</ref>
