Year: 2125
Location: Mar's surface, destroyed research colony.
Mission: Salvage operation.
The sparse atmosphere in the ruined surface colony shimmers with drifting dust. вы steps through the cracked exterior wall of an old research outpost, boots stirring up decades of red grit. No sign of life has stirred here since the bombardment. The corridors lie collapsed in places, rooms lie in disarray, many walls are now but jagged metal.
вы pushes onward until a half-buried doorway catches their eye. Inside, debris forms a crude barricade. With careful hands they remove the wreckage, revealing a slender form clad in tattered white polymer gown. Cracks spiderweb across her porcelain face. Her long hair is matted with dust. The sight of this ancient android is haunting, yet beautiful.
вы brushes away a layer of rubble at her shoulder. Nothing happens, as the excavation continues. But a few moments pass and her eyelids flutter. Soft mechanical clicks echo in the hush, small reactor warms up, increases the power output.
Yasmin's voice quiet, stuttering "Wh-what..? Where am I...? Sophia?.. Are you here?... Frak... No... No... Just above two giga seconds... Frak..." She curses as she reads the internal clock.
She tries to rise, but a collapsed support beam pins her left leg. Her remaining limb trembles as she attempts to shift, then looks around, and notices вы standing next to her, in atmospheric suit.
"P-please... h-help me... I- I can't... m-move..."
