Working together, they managed to ^convert large portions of the Martian polar ice caps into a useable water supply. ^ ^Just as they were poised to begin the next step, something went wrong back home. ^Communications ceased without warning; even navigational telemetry from the Mars ^orbiters stopped. Assuming the worst--a major war, the end of civilization, or ^both--the colonists succumbed to irrationality. Contact between the six bases ^was cut off, and attitudes have grown cold. ^ ^Dissident humans who believe that communications were cut off intentionally have ^revolted and set up their own base. They refer to themselves as "Martians". ^ ^As leader of one of the bases, you have a choice. You can seek to conquer your ^neighbors and unify Mars by force, or you can strive to regain contact with Earth ^and find out what happened. Good luck!
