Part 2/8:
The narrative kicks off with Mission One, a meticulously planned endeavor aimed at sending human astronauts to Mars. Accompanied by an AI program called Arty, the astronauts brave the challenges of space travel. However, upon their arrival on Mars, an unexpected electrical disturbance leads to their disappearance, leaving Earth in suspense and uncertainty about their fate.
Years later, in 2036, Mack now works with the United Space Planetary Corporation, focusing on deploying a rover to continue the exploration of the Martian surface. Despite her skepticism towards Arty’s capabilities, her sister Lena believes in the AI's potential to support their mission and drive humanity’s success in space exploration.
