Rob,
We are allowed to go over duty time if its an emergency but its always the entire crew's call. If any one of them says that they are tired or just cannot do it, we stood down. When someone's life depends on it we usually pull out all the stops and make it work.
I have seen Doctors pull things our of thin air to save a patient and preform operations in-flight that you never would do otherwise, but whats the option?
Good luck and Godspeed in your mission and journey home. Remember that those of us in the air salute the you guys on the ground ourselves. I used to be one of them...
