---BEGIN MESSAGE---
|
|
We were tasked to travel to Mars and investigate events in the area
|
|
of Outpost M-28. The station officially served as a relay station
|
|
and information archive, but it's true purpose was kept secret even
|
|
to it's crew. After analyzing data from transmisions received from
|
|
the outpost, we were led to believe that either an individual or an
|
|
organization has compromised the facility's security resulting in
|
|
said individuals gaining access to classified sectors without
|
|
proper clearance. We were supposed to get in, gather intelligence
|
|
and clean up. The following orbital bombardment would be then
|
|
handed to the media and posed as an attack by unknown terrorist
|
|
organization. We were expecting heavy resistance, what we got
|
|
instead was not what any of us expected. The facility was already
|
|
destroyed and detected gamma radiation suggests that the on-site
|
|
nuclear autodestrction devices were used. The strange part is that
|
|
in such situation, the facility was equipped with blackbox devices
|
|
designed to endure through the blast. Instead we found nothing. Not
|
|
even a beacon. We scanned the area for any lifesigns including
|
|
motion detectors and electromagnetic emissions - we knew there were
|
|
some synthetics stationed on the facility so we had to make sure.
|
|
We found nothing. Just a hole in the ground and gamma radiation. No
|
|
survivors. We did send few surrogates for close recon, but not even
|
|
being on the surface directly and digging through the rubble
|
|
uncovered any evidence. I'd say there's little to be done here -
|
|
just level the ground, scrub the burn marks, collect the debris and
|
|
call it a day. I'd call this mission accomplished, but I have a
|
|
feeling that this won't be enough for the brass...
