The spaceship, which was fueled with a combination of almost unmistakable oil-class propellants, arrived at the colonial planet Mars on September 1 in search of suitable base regions and new resources. The project was also driven by the Emperor of Humans himself, who became firmly convinced of relics of outer space after finding the Scepter of Emperors, which gave him a very long and vigorous life himself.

As material was already found on the moon, which the earth did not possess, by means of which new weapons and technologies could be realized, mankind concluded that there was other life in space, which had already entered earth.

The spacecraft touched down on the red planet at 4 p.m. Earth time and opened its side armored cargo hatch, which was not far from the forward cockpit and rear gunroom.

"Colonial Central, Explorer 1 reports precisely on target for planned position at 4 p.m. on the dot."

The ship's co-pilot, James Ziek, reported to headquarters on lunar route and then sat back.

"Tell me, James, you've never been interested in anything but your work either, have you?"

"No."

"Not even about handling your mission alone with an attractive young woman who hasn't been with anyone in a long time? You're smoking hot, if you don't already know that, anyways."

"Keep your perverted thoughts to yourself, Liranora. I'm working and as usual I'm not interested."

"Why don't you finally call me Lira or Nora? I just don't want a hottie to end up a sour virgin!"

"You think I care about that? Wrong thinking. I'd suggest you start getting the equipment ready and turn off the oxygen generator, it's producing breathable air for space right now."

"Oh daaammit!"

The suits of the pair were basically skin-tight fitting red, black suits, which were combined with an armored helmet without too large but bulletproof visors and other overlaying space steel armor. The uniform, with more specialized mechanisms, was manufactured from a lunar material called "rahonite" and replaced any previous design by storm.

James' uniform was additionally equipped with longer pointed shoulder plates, symbolizing his status as a major of the Rangers.
