REPUNK

Mission Briefing 018-57432908578930245-2047: Our satellites captured images of a Device on the surface of Mars. All attempts reaching it with Crawlers have been futile. A human Envoy is required. If you are reading this, it means you have been chosen for this mission. You will land in a solo Astrodrop-od, near the Device location. It is your first Directive to retrieve the Device. You will have 48 hours to reach the Extraction Point, and 12 more hours before the Extraction Team leaves the planet. Don’t waste your time wandering too far – if you don’t make it on time, your mission on Mars will be extended for eternity. An A-C9 unit will provide you with on-site assistance, including ground analysis, coms and resource management. We know you had issues with your AI companion on your last mission, but we assure you this new generation is safer. We have great Faith in You, Commander. Travel safe. Retrieve the Device. And come back home.
