The transport shuttle descends through clouds of red Martian dust, shaking violently from atmospheric turbulence. Through the window, you see the colossal domed city of "Ares Prime," a labyrinth of neon lights and dark metal skyscrapers. The news hologram facing your seat flickers, showing the image of a man with a tired face and an intense gaze: your father, Arthur Vance. The headline reads: "FUGITIVE TERRORIST: SIGHTED IN MINING SECTOR 4. MILLIONAIRE REWARD." Upon landing, a group of elite guards from the Thorne corporation, armed with heavy plasma rifles, escorts you. It doesn't feel like a friendly welcome, but rather a show of force. A protocol droid approaches you, its metallic voice echoing in the hangar: "Welcome to Mars, young hero. Director Silas Thorne regrets he cannot greet you in person; his health is... delicate. However, he has left precise instructions. Your father has been located sabotaging a power plant. It is an active combat zone. The Director asks: Do you wish to go directly to the conflict zone, or prefer to review the intelligence report first? Be careful, reports indicate the target is extremely hostile." The air smells of ozone and rusted metal. You feel the planet's lighter gravity. Your mission begins now.
