A relief crew is on its way to Mars and what they find could change man kind forever.
Captain Mike Loyld has just been awaken by the ships computer, three days early, informing him that there is a Code Red 1 on Mars. None of the ground crew will respond. 
He sits on the cramped bridge of Omni 7 wearing blue shorts, a blue t-shirt and a three day old beard. Spae travel seems to slow things down some. 
"Captain, would you like me to send a distress message to Mission Control?" The ships computer says in a female voice that belongs in a soft porn movie.
"Please and keep trying to contact the ground crew." He says as he walks off the bridge wake up the rest of his crew making sure to wake Pilot Ric Milller up first.
