Based on a true story. In 2024 Mars One sets off from Earth on a one way trip to colonies Mars.
Its 4 crew members were picked from thousands who applied in 2013.
Consisting of Dr Fran, the ship doctor. A beautiful, very flirtatious brunette (once she's had a drink).
The commander of the ship, Russian born Yankov Shroding. A giant of a man.
Hydro, an overweight Chinese Rastafarian who is a chemist that runs Hydroponics.
And finally (almost) a lovable rogue called Max. The colonies Chef and who is our main character and hero.
Max is accompanied by his own virtual personal assistant called EVA. Bought from the App Store for just a few Bit-Cents, she is in no way intelligent or stupid but asked any question, she can search the internet and give answers and advice. She is also able to link up with most systems in order to complete many of Max's requests. However when her programme is first downloaded she needs to learn. The more the user chats with her, the more she can predict their needs, figure out their mood etc.
It is her computerised voice that introduces ever episode, giving a recap on events so far.
So it is EVA that explains at the start of Episode 1 that Earth Command has lost communication with the Mars One ship. The only data they manage to retrieve from the ships last known whereabouts is two personal journals from Max and Dr Fran.
Max's journal rambles on about how he fancies Dr Fran. This is the first time he's used the journal so it also consist of him chatting with EVA. It also includes an interruption from Dr Fran, who is nicely drunk from the strong Vodka Hydro had made.
The second journal from Dr Fran chats about the strange liquid she found on the outside of the hull and how Earth Command had told her to keep it Top Secret because of its strange DNA-like properties.
So those are the final recordings from the ship before it went of the grid.
The story continues though with Max visits an empty Medi-lab and accidently mistakes if for an antiseptic fluid. He notices this weird stuff instantly heals his cut hand. In less than an a few hour he hopes this stuff will save his life.
Later, when the ship is minutes away from being destroyed, he puts his crew mates into the last escape pods but is unable to get to his own. With seconds left he drinks the liquid only to watch all the crew die. He wakes up on Mars able to breath and has God-like powers. He is also accompanied by an Alien that was created when Max mixed his DNA with the drink. Horrified to learn that this universe was created by a weapon from another dimension and how at any moment it could cease to exist, he, the Alien and Eva have to come up with a plan to save everyone.
EPISODE 2-A GRAY FRIDAY
Episode 2 starts with a quick recap of episode 1 from EVA.
Max finds himself alive but trapped in the twisted metal of the ship. Realising he now has amazing strength he easily breaks free of the broken wreckage. Not only that but he has transformed into a muscular adonis, able to breath freely in the Mars atmosphere.
Noticing movement from behind the wrecked ship he investigates, only to find a little gray skinned human-like alien, very childlike in mannerisms.
Unable to communicate with the alien at first, the pair make their way to the location of the habitation pods.
On their journey the alien not only seems to mature into full adulthood (a taller green skinned alien), but also learns very quickly how to speak pigion English.
Now able to communicate the alien explains how he has existed in the universe since the Big Bang and how he had the ability to morph (some what) into the shape or life form of anything that he encountered, via touch. His current manifestation was due to Max drinking him then later wetting himself, expelling the green liquid when he crashed on the planet surface.
Max learns himself of some of the side effects of drinking the liquid. Not only is it impossible for him ever to be injured but also he can now run at remarkable speed, with the ability to leap a 100 ft into the air and across distances of over 300 f t.
Arriving at the habitation pods, Max logs on to the systems and is greeted by the familiar computerised voice of his virtual personal assistant, Eva.
The End
EPISODE 3-THE FAMILIAR VOICE
Episode 3 starts with a quick recap of the last 2 episodes from EVA.
Max can now communicate with Earth Command and explains how the Mars One ship was destroyed by a meteor storm. Suspiciously, EC seem more interested in locating parts of the Mars One wreckage than the death of the 3 crew members or any rescue mission, instructing him to use one of the colonies rovers to search for the section of the ship that included the Medi-Lab.
Making Max suspicious of their intentions, he decides not to mention anything about the alien, now nicknamed Friday, or of his own new superpowers.
Max settles down over the next few weeks following their instructions whilst Friday keep himself busy learning about Earth history from Eva. It is only through Eva that Max finds out some startling information. Firstly, Friday has the ability to time travel, however he can only rewind time. This offers no help to anyone as he later proves when he rewinds time one day. Max or Eva remember nothing and just relive the day over. Secondly, and most alarmingly, yes, Friday has existed in the know universe since the Big Bang, but he also existed prior to that. Friday further explains how where he is from, his race and others are in a universal battle with a small rogue nation called the Banilat. In his dimension the Banilat had created a weapon of such mass destruction that it can not only destroy planets and suns, but one with as much power to destroy entire galaxies. The weapon, which could harness the power of an entire universe had been prepped for use moments before Friday had arrived in this universe. Back in Fridays universe he had reluctantly became a freedom fighter for his own race and he and a small team had attempted to destroy the weapon but had somehow all been pulled into the weapons only drawback. Amazingly, the only way to harness the power of a universe was to create one. This one. And at the point of the Big Bang, him and his team had been scattered throughout this universe never to find each other again. Even though billions of years had passed here, in Fridays universe it would seem like only the blink of an eye and at anytime in the near or distant future, Max, Earth and the entire universe would one day blip out of existence and the Banilat would rage war on Fridays home planet.
The End
EPISODE 4-GRANDFATHER PARADOX
Episode 4 starts with a quick recap of the series so far from EVA.
Having now learnt of the reason for the existence of the known universe, the 3 strong team try to figure out how they can stop the annihilation of both their worlds. Unable to devise a workable plan they decide to enroll some additional help. That of the dead crew members. Coming up with an audacious plan to travel back in time to save them. However there is only one drawback to the plan. It is possible that they may inadvertently creating a neverending time loop if they fail. The problem is Friday would still be a liquid in a test tube, hidden away in the Med-Lab and Max would have no recollection of the events of the crash, Friday and their time on the planet. The only way the plan is able to succeed is if Eva can somehow remember.
Put into action the team relive the time loop hundreds of times, however Eva becomes aware of additional information in her memory banks every time they loop, sending her back to the last night on the ship, when Max is struggling to set up his Wiki-journal account. Sometimes surprising Max by telling him what is going to happen next. Finally, unlike in episode 1 where she repeatedly says "I'm sorry Max, I do not have enough information" Eva now has all the information as she put together all the clues. Only now can she explain to Max what he must do to save the ship and the crew.
The End
