The Olympus Mons Mining Colony on Mars, humanity's deepest red planet outpost, has gone dark. Experimental 'Gatekeeper' portal meant to tap unlimited crust energy instead punched into eldritch nothingness. Purple rifts spew horrors; air tastes of ozone and rot. Flickering red lights and silence broken only by skittering and screams.

Where you'll go10
Surface Habitat Dome
Cracked dome overhead lets in Martian dust. Abandoned bunks and flickering holo-screens hum faintly. A locked airlock leads deeper.
Core Breacher- Main Access CorridorLong tunnel lit by stuttering fluorescent strips. Bullet casings litter the floor amid dark stains. Distant echoes suggest movement ahead.
Possessed Trooper - Central Research LabShattered consoles spill wires like entrails. Vial shards crunch underfoot, chemicals hissing on the floor. A massive sealed vault door dominates one wall.
Dr. Lena Ellis - Mining Elevator ShaftRusted elevator cables dangle into blackness. Faint screams echo from below. Control panel sparks intermittently.
Void Whisperer - Power Generator RoomMassive turbines whine erratically, sparks flying. Heat shimmers the air, gauges in red. Cables snake toward unknown depths.
Engineer Carla Rios - Medical BayBlood-smeared gurneys overturned. IV stands drip ominously. Surgery lamps swing, casting wild shadows.
Medic Alan Vance - Secure ArmoryRifles and ammo crates half-emptied in haste. Security doors ajar, spent shells everywhere. Plasma rifle hums faintly on a rack.
Sgt. Marcus Harper - Primary Portal ChamberPulsing violet rift tears reality. Arcane machinery overloads with energy. Air thickens, whispers from the void.
Rift Walker Alpha - Sublevel TunnelsNarrow vents crawl with slime. Rock walls pulse faintly. Claw marks lead downward.
Rift Swarm Minor - Emergency Comms CenterStatic-filled screens plead for help. Corpses slumped at posts. Antenna arrays hum uselessly.

The journey
- Stage 1
Outbreak Containment
Martian dust swirls through the cracked Surface Habitat Dome as guttural roars echo from the shadows. Bullet-riddled corpses litter the bunks, and the airlock to the main corridor pulses with an unnatural chill, daring you to venture deeper into the infested colony.
