First time I try something like this, so expect errors on my part.
PLot: 7 intelligent beings have been sent to Mars, accompagnied by high-tech equipment. The whole base is under control of an Artificial Intelligence.You're are here for scientific research.

I'll try to adhere to the laws of physics, so no magic.
Starting position:Mars Lander ship:Prometheus: 1 week away from Mars(We're in the prologue now, with the ship in Earth orbit)
The Mars Lander is a state of the art science vessel and is equiped with the newest technologies. Most of the equipment is however, untested and might prove unreliable. Don't worry, spare parts have been provided. In order to ensure maximal adaptation to the Mars surface, an artificial gravity of 0,376 g is generated by rotating the ship around it's own axis. Magnetic radiation shielding and advanced lifesupport systems, controlled by an intelligent and benevolent AI, ensure prolonged survival in space.

- The MCS
Size: 70 meter long
Diameter: 20 Meter
Appareance: The MCS is very cylindrical. It looks like an extralarge spaceshuttle(whitout booster tanks). It has retractable wings and a rudder yet still looks like a giant cigar.
Purpose: The MCS is supposed to deliver a crew of 7 to Mars, and supply the resources to build a permanent base there.
Floor layout: While the MCS is primarly designed to operate in space , it does have a landing gear which we will use to define up, down. Because of the artificial gravity that will be in effect all the time. All floors are aligned away from the center of the ship. This does mean that some floors are pependicular to each other or sometimes even upside down.
Locations inside the ship:
-AI control room: Completly central in the ship
-Habitation room: The central habitation room, surrounded by the (small,like really small)chambers of the crewmembers lies low,central in the ship.Just above the landing gear
-Greenhouse: Portside of the ship,more towards the back of the ship
---------Hydroponics are located here.
-Foodstore: Next to greenhouse, but closer to the center
-OpenGPAI storage room: On top of the ship, close to the nose cone, can be used as an airlock
-Observation deck: Connected the open GPAI storage room
-Labs:Frontside of the ship, portside
-Fission power generator: Center back of the ship, close to the engines
-Life support: Center front of the ship
-Medical Room: Starboard
-Return vehicle(smaller): Top Back of the ship
-Back-up control room(Manned): Between the lifesupport and the AI
-Cargo rooms: Multiple rooms, spread through the ship.

Name: Nathaniel Hoke
Nation: Born in Space, ZG.
Traits: (Rollover for details) ZG Tolerant,Perfect Reflexes, ZG Atrophy
Bio: Living on an old commercial orbital Nathaniel was an unruly child and a member of the station's ZG kid gang, the Cliff Swallows. Acrobatic in the station's gravity devoid main bays it was only after his 16 birthday -and enrollment into the Pilot's academy- that he realized what full G was. Nathaniel subsequently spent three years of his life undergoing painful procedures to be able to withstand the 50%EG required for military pilots.
He didn't make the cut.
Taking a few commercial jobs here and there Nathaniel has enjoyed a reputation as a crack pilot for specialty runs, particularly on Zero or partial G runs. Six months after his 27th birthday Nathaniel has been hired onto the Mars expedition, the ship's gravity still gives him trouble but thanks to his military training regimen he can usually manage to get around if he doesn't hurry.
Appearance: 4'11, self-cut brown hair, very lightly built, blue eyes, usually wears padded clothing.
Role: Pilot
Name: Hilda Glockenspiel
Nation: United States of Belgium
Traits: (Rollover for details) Natural Born Cheerleader, Medical MacGyver, Blood Rage
Bio: Hilda has always nearly been an overachiever - from second best cheerleader at school to second best student at med school all the way to becoming the second Belgian in space. She's a lithe and healthy looking young woman, with eye catching blonde hair and a snazzy red skintight spacesuit. She's always superkeen, and proud to be a Belgian.
Appearance: 176 cm, slim, eye catching blonde hair and a vivacious smile. Carries a large pack of surgical gloves, a sterilised multitool and some insulation tape, as well as strong painkillers.

Nation(optional): Sourceforge.net
Traits Computer Brain Super Sensors Mechanical Body
Bio: The OpenGPAI project started about fifteen years ago, and has been going strong since. This particular copy calls himself Schilcote, after his favorite RTD GM. It is very humanlike, almost to a fault, and is suitable for just about any application. He has been uploaded into a half-ton, six-wheeled armored chassis, loaded with just about every type of sensor you can imagine. It also has two retractable manipulators, which are about as strong dexterous as a human arm and hand.
Appearance: About the size of a Great Dane, rectangular with rounded corners, with three metal wheels on each side and two headlights on the front. A small panel on each side opens up to let the manipulator arms out.
Role: Artificial Intelligence

Traits:
Mechanically Minded: +1 to building, repairing and programing electrical machinery.
Tactical Genius: +1 to enacting plans that "Just might be crazy enough to work".
Savant: Often gets confused when carrying out actions he is unfamiliar with, however simple they may be.
Bio: Connor was sent along as an engineer with top priorities being the upkeep of computation devices on mars and the analyzing of collected samples.
Appearance: Rather short with curly brown hair, tanned skin, a belt full of tools and a lazy eye.
Role: Software Engineer

After getting famous from wrecking a 2 billion euro digger in Eastern Germany in 2041 in a famous viral video, he used his newfound fame to help him get on board GSO missions. This is his fourth mission with the GSO.
Appearance: A pale, muscular man with short cropped blonde hair, he looks more like he should be in an action movie than in space. He has piercing green eyes, a large nose, and thin curly sideburns. His arms are bulging and veiny, and his legs look like he's an olympic powerlifter.
Role: Geologist (primary) ; Hydroponics Journeyman (secondary) (basically a damn farmer)

Bio: After getting his degree in genetics at Cambridge, Jeremy was hired by the GSO for a project on Zero gravity adaptatiotn which was performed in a space station. During the research, there was an eqiupment malfunction and the space station was unable to receive any people or cargo. Jeremy took control of the stocks, and instituted a harsh reigeme, that, while making the crew unhappy, ensured everybodies survival. After the incident he gained a reputation as a harsh taskmaster, and, seeing a use for him, sent him on this expidition.
Appearance: Tall, just a little short of 2 meters, closely cropped black hair, 28 years old.
Role: Quartermaster, Genetics researcher.
Timeline
- 2021: Global Sattelite crash: After accumulated space garbage destroyed all of earths LEO sattelites and many others, space based operations were set back to their very beginnings. The sudden disappearance of most of earth's sattelite networks caused severe social, economical and political unrest and eventually resulted in the formation of the Global Space Organisation which had a totalitarian control of the use of the the remaining satelite networks and all of earth space travel. It was founded to restore earths satelite networks (which it did, by building a few heavy armored space habitat/sattelites), and prevent further incidents but soon found itself powerfull enough to influence global politics.
- 2037:Begin of the Global Energy crisis
- 2042: Commercial large scale use of fusion power generators becomes viable. Within a few years fusion becomes world #1 power supplier. The GSO strengthens it control on earths political system using it's monopoly on space and therefore the Lunar tritium reserves.
- 2050:Launch of the GSO mars mission, Earths first interplanetary manned mission. Despite being a purely sientific mission, rumours go that many corporations and nations have tried to infiltrate the mission in order to bring down the GSO.
