Sabotage in Space: Martian Madness
In 2077, Earth's second Martian research colony on Mars has successfully been established with fledgling astronauts calling it their new home away from home. While these researchers may have come from different parts of Earth, they must investigate the recent destruction of the first Martian base while braving the ever-decreasing supply of food, water, and oxygen. On the expansive red planet, researchers will explore and encounter anomalies, putting their field training to the test. While each researcher claims to make new discoveries in the name of science, ties to the old world have left each astronaut with their own agenda. A commercial scientist from the Amazon- Tesla-Virgin Corporation, heavily decorated microbiologist, and a flat-earther stowaway are now stuck together on a one-way trip for the rest of their short lives. With the Impulse AI enacting new procedures by majority vote assisting their journey, what could possibly go right?
