]Well we knew this was coming the moment I got that information from the Cape Canaveral Space Center. As Gaia's Warriors I suppose it was necessary - Combat the Wyrm were ever it dwells.

The moment the sleigh ride started I had my Lap Top with me, so I was able to take some photos of the journey for any of you Data Hackers or Monkey Wrenchers out there, this lot is for you as much as me. 

The Launch site taken from the shuttle viewing port, you can just see the shuttles hull on the right edge.

We got well bounced about in the rocket, felt like our teeth were going to fall out, when the secondary rockets fired we got jolted about, thanks to regeneration I still have the use of my back. But what a view, we could see the Northern Lights playing on the Atmosphere.

We were in Deep Space for just over a week, thanks to me and my new gift, no-one wanted to do the 6 month thing. It was a grueling 8 days though, what with those ingrate pups becoming Wyrm tainted, conspiring and torturing the original crew. Very un-Gaia like attitude if you ask me - Respect all beneath you - All are of Gaia. We got through it though then we went in to a low Mars orbit - all automated.

This is about the time that it hit us, that is when we got our taste of 'Phobos' and 'Deimos'. 'Fear' and 'Terror', I know why they got that name now. So to avoid those lunar we got to the surface as fast as we could.

Anyone get the idea someone has been here before? We saw this monument when we were orbiting.

We got a great view from the Lander, oh this one is for Phil the Bar Man at the Fighting Cocks...Luv Space. xxx

We were in separate Landers to the Wyrm tainted ones, we thought it better that way. Quite a rough ride all the way down, the parachutes deployed and then we were encompassed in inflated Rubber balls, which protected the Lander until we stopped bouncing and came to a halt.  The Landers legs extended so we could get to the surface, this is our first view.

The ground was soil like, but scattered with types of rocks, now I am no geologist, Ian Henrys will testify that, but the rocks looked weird, some of them like giant pebbles. The black boulders we discovered later were meteorites. We started walking to the dome of a kind of protected city - it was huge, maybe 30 miles diameter, we should have seen it from space. We kept losing contact with the Wyrm tainted group I think the Dome was reflecting our signal, they must have landed some miles from us. The sun was already going down, so we tried to get inside, even though the suits could deal with the cold, we thought it better not to waste any air time. It was a strange alien sunset as we reached the dome, the sun set behind us....

Then we got inside the dome via a huge airlock, what did they have in their King Kong? Our problems had just started as we were about to find out!

The Dome appeared to be made out of some kind of plastic and what we thought was originally a pearl finish - was in fact a surface layer of water ice that had formed on the Perspex. Using our space suit gloves we managed to scrape some away, there was a forest inside, well more of a jungle actually. It was at this point, that the arrogant pig, De Grace, started to sprout his ideas, his arrogance annoyed me to the point of thinking of causing a fault in his suit, with my gifts. I thought better of it though as Firepower was growing fond of him, and my Lupus has suffered enough of late. We got into the airlock, thank Gaia my gifts still worked. Inside the airlock the pressure gauge showed we were gaining atmosphere, and when the door opened we were in the jungle. I suggested De Grace try the air. The idiot actually did as well, he took his suit off. He didn't die, which was disappointing, and he told us the air was safe to breath. With my suit of I could smell the Wyrm stench. It was everywhere, we put our backs to the outer dome and walked forward, this way we could get to the center, the bright lights above us, must have kept the rubber plant and young trees alive. The soil was brown and moist, but red underneath when you kicked it up. The air had a metallic taste to it, it reminded me of the air by a old office buildings ventilation unit.
