Full Description

In the year 2028, humanity’s dream of becoming an interplanetary species becomes reality. A groundbreaking alliance between SpaceX and Blue Origin propels a team of six astronauts on a daring mission to Mars. Armed with advanced technology, years of preparation, and indomitable determination, they set out to establish humanity’s first permanent foothold on the red planet.
Landing in the enigmatic Cydonia region, the team’s primary objective is to build a sustainable colony. But their mission takes an extraordinary turn when they uncover a hidden truth buried beneath the Martian surface. What begins as an exploration of the infamous “Face on Mars” quickly evolves into a discovery that will rewrite human history—a vast underground structure housing remnants of an ancient civilization and evidence of a connection to Earth.
As they delve deeper, the team encounters a being unlike any they could have imagined: El-Ket, a giant from a lost race who carries the burden of his people's actions and their role in shaping early humanity. Struggling to communicate, they form an uneasy alliance with this enigmatic figure, balancing the opportunity to learn from him with the growing danger of what his awakening could mean for humanity.
