An excerpt from the resident entry document: "Welcome to the Ark! The first human colony on Mars! Our state-of-the-art compound will let you live in safety and luxury as you further the reach of mankind! Our compound contains a lab, a low-gravity gym, a cafeteria, sleeping quarters, a state-of-the-art greenhouse, and a wonderful common area! Our facility is powered by plentiful wind and solar power. We are excited to have you with us on the Ark!"

The majority of the base is underground in the form of a bunker, making it much safer from breaches that would damage the base and its inhabitants.

 Space suits:

A young man is relaxing in the common area. He's wearing a leopard-print silk shirt, purple trousers, and is sporting a rather excellent moustache. He is drinking a neon yellow lemon drink

*oh my god it’s even on mars?!*

*Doom theme intensives.*

*btw I’m just joking*

A man in his 30s comes in wearing a hazard suit, without the helmet on. He has a stubble beard and brown eyes and dark brown hair.

'Morning, had a nice walk?'

"Didn't do much walking, I've been out doing some airlock maintenance."

'Oh. Maintenance. That sounds... interesting'

"It isn't easy, but as the resident mechanic, I've had the training."

'Well, naturally. I guess it must be very boring. Let me pour you a drink'

"Thanks." As you do so, he removes the suit and puts it in storage, and is now wearing the maintenance jumpsuit

He pours a glass of the neon yellow drink and hands it to him. It tastes of very artificial lemon

He takes it and chugs it, setting the glass on a bar counter. "Whatve you been up to?"

'Oh, you know, relaxing, drinking, playing holocards, the usual'

"Eh, I prefer real cards."

'They do have a certain papery charm. My name's Deckson, by the way'

"You one of the new people who paid to be up here?"

'How on Mars did you guess?'

"Eh, the fact you're not working, and that you're dressed for the Bahamas."

'Oh, I always did like the Bahamas! More lemon drink?'

He sighs disappointedly. "You people are all the same."
