Chapter One: Cold Welcome

A Mars Installation gone dark, a message of an unknown language, and a Squad pulled form leave.

When the Nilsen Heavy Industries Mars Mining and Research Installation goes dark, a Search and Rescue Mission is launched. Without signs of life and locked in a permafrost, the chances of survival look slim. With time and the environment against them, and a CCI class cruiser on a collision course. Commander Daniels may have his toughest choices to make yet.
