One or two? That would be a kill rate far, far beyond any known illness. And why would they go insane? These are people selected for mental toughness, knowing the possibility of death, and with specific and trained responsibilities - if there were ANY survivors, why would they necessarily flip out before even taking the emergency steps to revive PB2 or send messages to the regional commanders or whatever? I am not saying they wouldn't go insane, but I would expect that for a few days at least they would be able to hold it together long enough to take some productive steps.

There had to be contingency plans for the fall of PB. Remember that the Autonav was designed to be destroyed by one finger of one team member should it be necessary - the Project was full of safeguards. The fall of PB shouldn't assume that they didn't exist, there should be plausible reasons why the safeguards failed. And "the survivors all went insane" lacks that ring of plausibility to me.
