I did look at the master list, and didn't see a radio, but I wanted to make absolutely sure I didn't miss anything (like when I thought i was in a terrarrium )

[Squeegy]

I get out of my fort and help IWM with whatever he does.

Just to make it clear, both space suits and pressure suits have short-range radios in them, because otherwise, you'd have to conduct all your EVA work by hand signals.

 Harry, not wanting to damage anything else, goes to the repair computer to see if anything can be done with it. Otherwise, he searches for the air leak and appropiate tools to fix it. As he is no longer sitting down in some vehicle, he takes care with his left leg. He looks for a tool to keep his leg from getting worse(Using it as a crutch, hopefully some wielding gear can accomplish this even if it's heavy.), but doesn't take too much time with it.

 And a question, is the Vehicle Service Bay just a platform-type thing that makes human matinence easier on the vehicles, or a robotic repair-style thing? I would also like to note that the robotic drone image is frighteningly similar to the lost image.

What can this "Service Suit" thing do?

 Pockets.

Okay then, I edit my turn slightly:

"Guys? GUYS? Is anyone out there? Oh God, I hope I'm not alone out here!"
Simon desperately tries to contact someone on his radio, and, just in case that fails him, tries to contact people via the research computer

(Might as well go for broke ))

Yeah, it's a distinct garage space with some robotic arms to hold stuff.  Mind you, the service station is now on it's side, halfway up the wall.

I would also like to note that the robotic drone image is frighteningly similar to the lost image.

What were you expecting, blue rocks in one of them?  It's all Mars.  Though there is a surprisingly thin selection of rover pics reachable from Google Images.

 I dunno, wreckage? Debris? Martian Artifacts? Elvis?

Hence why I was asking if anyone was good at photoshoping stuff.  Because I'm not.

[Sean Mirrsen]

"Good" is subjective. I frequently photoshop stuff onto stuff for ad banners we use (mostly cats onto various furniture), and my mother says I'm good at it. But I'm unreliable. That makes me both good and bad at it, because I can make it good, but there's a high probability of me doing it late.

[Aqizzar]

All I would have needed is a Martian landscape picture with some believable wreckage melded in.  Hopefully, it won't be long before enough people find each other that I can just make an overhead map of the whole area.  Oh yeah, and plans for the ship.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Don't you like mine? I could model it in Lightwave if you need it so much. Can't UVMap worth shit though.

Oh yeah, I did have a few comments.  It's not far from what I had in mind, since there's only so many ways to build a near-future Mars ship.  But I pictured it more bulky and cubic, with less magic rockets.  The main drive is (was, will be?) a nuclear heat-fission type thing, using water as a reaction mass.  Consequently, big water tanks, along with the house-sized lab, system, and habitat modules.

Note that I just did a bit of necessary foreshadowing about other stuff possibly laying about.  This is perfectly sensible, since everyone aboard would necessarily have a good idea of what all constituted the ship.
