• ALL:It is the beginning of another day at the UAC Mars Base. During the past few days, rumors had been circulating of a experiment going on, rumors fueled by the near-constant power-outages that had been occurring. In addition, the bulletin system has been asking near-constantly for volunteers for Delta labs. Finally, due to the various power-failures, the heating system has been operating at less than full efficiency, leaving the air chilly.
  
• Slick: – You are currently on patrol in section A1, the hanger deck. You are obviously bored, mostly because your partner got Mars Sickness the other night, and was will in the medical bay. As you pace around your station, which overlooks the closed hanger doors that lead out to the very thin atmosphere of Mars, you watch the lights flicker once and die and hear the fans within the ventilation system shut down as the power cuts out. This has happened before, and your calls to the repair technicians never got through before power was restored. As you wait for the power to be restored, you realize it is taking a lot longer than normal.

Current you are in the shower, rinsing off as the lights flicker then fail and the water goes terribly cold before cutting out. Backup lights activate, leaving you cold, wet and naked. Grabbing your towel, you join the other Marines in the area wondering what the hell was going on.

• AcidK: – You are asleep in your barrack. Your previous shift was long and tiresome, for you were called to help move some heavy cargo around. However, despite your exhaustion, your dreams were not peaceful. Dreaming of monsters and demons, you shoot up screaming in your bunk, smashing your head on the bunk above yours. Rubbing your eyes, you are a little embarrassed, but almost every Marine has woken up screaming these past for days at least once, thus you are not too worried about the teasing. Looking around, you see only the backup lights are activated.

• Spritely Zombie – You are asleep in your barrack. Your previous shift was very boring, patrolling the hanger bay for any invaders. You are happily dreams of dozens of nude, well-build women in greek outfits serving you when the dream vanishes, replaced by a scream. Opening your eyes, you awaken, seeing AcidK rubbing his head, the source of the scream apparently. You also notice that the backup lights are activated, and you don’t hear the noise of the ventilation system.

• Richpur – Awake, you had just finished showering and were in the mess hall, having a bite to eat when without warning the power dies, leaving the mess hall in the dark.

• Disrupter – You are currently on call in the medical bay (Section Ba). You yawn and sip a cup of very bad coffee, for the past few days had been hectic with people coming down with what the Marines were calling Mars sickness, but what was officially known as stress. However, you wonder at why stress was causing people to start randomly yelling, try to claw out their eyes, mutilate themselves, attempt to kill themselves, and in some cases others. Best the medical staff so far was able to do was tranq those who fell ill, and wait. Most of the time they would come out of it on their own, but there were others who never did. After a few days, those who were still screaming were taken away somewhere. Taking another sip, an alarm goes off. Chief Riley, the senior officer on duty, looks at you and starts barking orders.
  
  “Hey, we got another one. Some egghead in the mess just started stabbing himself with his knife. Get your ass there!”
