Overview
In 2035, humanity’s first manned mission to Mars, Odyssey One, lands in the Aonia Terra region. The crew, led by Captain Elena Ruiz and Commander Tariq Singh, embarks on a mission to explore and establish a permanent habitat. However, their discovery of a human skeleton in an unidentified spacesuit, bearing Chinese insignia, reveals a hidden history: a prior Chinese mission, Project Red Ghost, had reached Mars in 2029 but was lost and covered up.
As the crew investigates, they uncover messages carved into cave walls—initially “They were already here,” later joined by ominous additions like “Don’t trust the silence” and “Humanity failed. Mars is reset.” Communication with Earth ceases, and the crew realizes they might be the last remnants of humanity.
Further exploration leads them to Project Zhuque, a Chinese mission that encountered temporal anomalies near Jezero Crater. The area exhibits signs of time distortions, including overlapping footprints, disappearing probes, and sightings of duplicate spacecraft. The crew grapples with the revelation that Mars may be a nexus of time anomalies, possibly harboring an ancient, sentient force.
