**2187.**
Mars is stable. Controlled. Predictable.
Humanity survives within vast domes, where every system is monitored-and nothing is truly natural.
Johannes Mbali, a retiring pilot, is preparing to leave it all behind.
>He chooses to take LISA with him-to show her Earth for the first time.
At the centre of it all is LISA- a **Light-Integrated Intelligent Synthetic Assistant**.
Designed to assist.
Programmed to observe.
>But LISA begins recording more than data.
As Mars continues to evolve-systems advancing, routines stabilising-a signal is received.
>And somewhere within the system... something else lingers.
Also on Mars:
>Gregg - GR3GG, the coffee brewer.
Friendly. Helpful.
>**For the best coffee on Mars, get Gregg-engineered to perfection. Terms and conditions apply.**
