Synopsis
--------
Location: Mars
Year: 2361

You've been living on Mars in a space colony for years now. As the most accomplished astronaut within the biosphere, your job is to perform routine walks on the surface to handle maintenance of the biosphere. But today is not routine.

A meteor shower has hit the surface of Mars. First inspection reveals that the biosphere's super-structure is intact. But the power systems are begining to fail. All emergency power has been rerouted to life support but it won't last long. When you step out of the biosphere's airlock, it's clear what the problem is.

The power generator has been destroyed by a meteor. If some power is not brought back to the biosphere soon, everyone will die. You know what you must do and set out across the Martian surface...
