Transmissions

It only took four hours. The initial rescue and research team sat down in New Austin, got everything running, and started firing information back to Jupiter Station.

Jupiter relayed the information to Earth.

Fourteen scientists poured over the information with terror in their hearts.

This was new.

This was The Unknown.

The military wanted answers. The scientists only had more questions.

And then, four hours after the first transmission……. nothing.

All attempts to contact the research party were inconclusive. Two more days passed. Governments debated on a proper course of action. Too much had been spent on the Mars Project to abandon it. Another team would have to be sent.

Not a rescue team. Not a research team.

An Investigation Team.

And that’s when they called John Temple.
