Previously on Mars.

Getting to Mars will be

the greatest adventure ever,
ever in human history.

With the science of
innovators who came before us,

we set out on an uncertain journey.

A mission of exploration.

We traveled 30 million miles further
than anyone had gone before.

And we successfully landed on Mars.

We're looking at a red planet.

But it was far from welcoming.

In the time we've been here,

the planet's tested us in ways
we couldn't have imagined.

It's pushed us to our physical limits.

It's made us closer.

It's made us question our
sanity, and it's taken lives.

But it's also given us hope

that we can make this
another home for humankind,

without repeating the
mistakes we've made on Earth.

There is life on Mars.

To make it more habitable,

we've begun 3-D Printing solar mirrors

and launching them from the surface.

Eventually, they will
form a reflective screen

over the ice caps to
warming the planet and

changing its atmosphere.

With a space station now in orbit,

the Chinese government is a
partner in this experiment.

Science has been the sole purpose
for human presence here, until now.

Go ahead and run checks
on mass flow rates.

Engine test should have
been completed yesterday.

Launch is in a month.

We can only make propellant
as fast as we can make it.

It's going to be fine, Mike.

If there's one thing Mars
teaches you, it's patience.

Looks like they're here.

They shouldn't be.

It's not like anyone
could stop them from coming.

I just wish they weren't
going to be so close to us.

Commander, incoming debris.

Commander, come in.

Are you okay? Commander.

Jettisoned their heat shield.

Obviously designed to break up on entry.

With all the money this company has,

you'd think they could
come up with one that

didn't litter.

Or almost kill us.

Look at this mess.

Wow.

I can't believe we're on Mars.

Yeah, it's not to admire the scenery.

We have big plans for this planet.

Last month, we launched a new spacecraft

as part of a reenergized space program

that will send American
astronauts to Mars.

Pushing out into the solar system.

Not just to visit, but to stay.

Mars is really the beginning of,

of our becoming truly a
uh, space-faring race.

3, 2, 1, and lift-off.

The future of humanity is
very much in the solar system.

All systems are go.

And so, the question, as we start
to travel to these other worlds,

what kinds of civilizations
are we going to build?

We need to protect our planet.

We're going to need
more oil for the future.

We can't afford to make the
same mistakes we made in the past.

Mars often functions as a great mirror

for concerns that we have
on Earth now that are

ecological and political.

The front lines of climate change.

Melting ice sheets
that will raise sea levels

and swamp coast lines.

The fire-fight is now a year-round event.

How do we keep the whole show going

over the long-term and
make it sustainable?

How do we get along together?

Does it become Lord of the Flies?

Who's in charge?

Should anyone be in charge?

We have plenty of evidence

of things going wrong in
the history of actual

human conduct on Earth.

Protestors want the
Dakota oil pipeline route

moved away from the Standing Rock

Reservation.

We as a human species

have the ability to affect
and transform our planet.

Some of us might think that
we have to be stewards

of the worlds that we live on.

But at the same time,
others might see planets

as something that are ours to use.

We can create millions
of new American jobs

if we simply develop energy resources on

federal lands, off-shore.

The White House's argument is that
the Paris Agreement is a job-killer.

The president announcing the US is
quitting the Paris Climate Agreement.

Are we explorers on a path of discovery

or on a path of exploitation?

Of course, we're both of those things.

We have a right and a left
hand, we explore, we exploit.

We're human beings.

We carry the entire evolution
of our species with us.

There will never be a
clean slate on Mars.

Solar mirrors successfully attached.

And we are at 6% completion.

At this rate, we'll have warmth, water,

and breathable air by the
time your grandson retires.

The next solar mirror launch will be
delayed a few weeks, unfortunately.

That's fine. We have
plenty to keep us busy up here.

Keep busy, or look busy?

I don't know how you guys can stand it.

Cameras broadcasting 24/7.

Hey, it helps pay for the mission.

And it's made this one
here a superstar back home.

_

_

So, no comment on the new neighbors?

Let's just say they
made quite an entrance.

It's not like they planned

to do what they did, or
that you can control where

jettisoned objects land.

You're way too understanding.

It's not just about how they arrived.

It's the fact that there's been
virtually no communication with them.

Not before launch, and
not even after landing.

They never even shared
their mission information,

other than projected arrival date
and location.

Lukrum's a private corporation.

They didn't really have to.

Especially since they came here
independent of any space agency.

Elevator ascending.

It's not like the planet's
ready for mass colonization.

I don't know.

I think it's smart.

Get in on the ground floor,

so they can build everything
that needs to get built.

Gives them time to find what they need.

If they even take time.

Seems like they're in a
pretty big hurry to dig

into a planet they know
less about than we do.

You just don't like it, because
they won't be reporting to you.

No Amelie?

She wouldn't miss work,
not even to meet the new people.

She doesn't need to meet them
to know that she won't like them.

They're not scientists, for God's sake.

They're miners.

And they already dumped toxic waste.

Literally on top of us.

Look, whatever you think of Lukrum,

they're here for the same reasons we are:

to pave way for migration.

They're here to steal natural
resources and to make a profit,

just like they do all over Earth.

There's a difference.

Well, they're here either way,

so let's try and make the best of it.

Seasonal affective disorder.

Depression.

Anxiety.

All of it can cause insomnia.

It's pretty common when
you've been here a long time.

Not sure why it's
happening to me now, then.

I've only been here a couple of years.

Well, living in confined spaces

affects different people differently.

But since it's only been a
problem for you recently,

I'd like you to try some herbal

supplements before I
prescribe any medication.

That, and exercise.

Okay, Cameron?

Is that what you do?

Sorry?

To cope?

Me?

I just try and focus on the future.

Easier to do when you know what it is.

Who knows how long we'll be here.

You know, I hear the Lukrum
people are term workers.

Apparently, they cycle
out every four years.

They're not in it for the long haul.

They're not like us.

Thanks.

Mars wouldn't just be
full of scientists and dreamers.

People would be there to turn a profit.

If there's money to be made on Mars,

then people would go
there to make the money.

Space is turning
private, with plans for profits.

Billionaires are funding ventures
to get past the Moon, onto Mars.

Imagine a gold rush to outer space.

It will be very
risky, extremely, expensive,

but none of that is stopping them.

Mars is going to be full
of private companies eventually.

It's not just going to be one company,

there are going to be hundreds
of companies on Mars.

It's going to work very much
the way it works on Earth.

I think a Mars
civilization ultimately looks

like an advanced version of Earth.

Mars is for anyone who wants to be

an entrepreneur and going
to the brave new world

and to try their fortune, so Mars is
going to be the planet of opportunity.

In this land, there is
wealth beyond all dreams.

This is very old human nature.

Humanity has been exploring

foreign land for profit ever
since we've been able to build a

ship and go there.

You see something that
has unimaginable wealth,

and you want to go get it.

The oil and gas reserves
in the Arctic are massive,

experts say worth possibly
tens of trillions of dollars.

Russia, the US,
Canada, Denmark, and Norway

have all been trying to assert

jurisdiction over parts of the Arctic.

In the Arctic, there is this
mentality that, let's go get it boys.

You know, it's there.

It's there, ripe for the taking.

There are parallels between what's going
on in space, and the Arctic cold rush.

It's a new frontier, it's unexploited.

Space is just, it's another oil field.

If humans think they can profit,
they're going to go there.

People have to have some
way to make a living,

so it can't just be
scientists going out to Mars.

There also has to be a way

in which people can bring their
entrepreneurial spirits and be

able to create thriving
human communities.

Look, there it is.

Wow, great design, self-docking
pods, vehicle lift.

I like it.

We'd have nice things too,

if all our money wasn't
going to your lab.

All that for DNA-based microbes.

They may not be new
biochemical life forms,

but they still need to be studied and

protected, especially from them.

Okay, everybody ready
to meet the neighbors?

Decontamination complete.

Decontamination complete?

Yup, three printers
are now online and operational.

Oh my God.

Oh, look at you.

Oh, I miss dogs.

I see you guys met Marvin.

He's the one who keeps
us all from going crazy.

Commander Hurrelle, but
you can call me Kurt.

Lieutenant Mike Glenn.

Nice to meet you, Mike Glenn.

Commander Hana Seung.

Of course.

You're the one I want to talk to.

Likewise. Because your heat shield

sprayed our launchpad with debris.

Oh.

I'm sorry, I had no idea.

I tell you what, though, we, we'll
get out there and clean up ASAP.

Alright, what are you,
about 200 people now?

Must be a pretty well-oiled machine.

Yeah, it is.

That's good, cause we need to
hook up to your water and your power.

Sorry?

Well, it's my understanding
that, as astronauts, uh,

if we require your help, you're
supposed to give it to us.

Part of the outer space treaty

that each one of your
member nations signed.

Are you saying you're in distress?

No, I'm saying that ten tons of equipment

and 30 crew, we weren't
able to bring that

much water along, beyond what we
have in our radiation shielding.

You can't be serious.

This should have been
pre-negotiated, pre-planned.

I'm going to have to talk to IMSF
leadership before I can authorize it.

You know what, you do that.
You run it up the chain.

I'm going to start laying pipe.

If Mars is going to
have a thriving human society,

then industry is going to be

absolutely vital to that effort.

But all colonies throughout human
history have faced a tension,

between the development of the
new society, and preservation.

The more you preserve an area untouched,

the less genuine society develops there.

The example I always think of is,

there's a straight line from
the Industrial Revolution

to the Modern Age.

Without exploiting fossil fuels, we
would not have a global society.

When you develop a real vibrant society,

you have the potential for
great growth of knowledge,

but you also are destroying some
natural resources as you do so.

Certainly, in a scenario

where you had a Mars settlement
that wanted to grow,

you would be faced with tough choices.

Even here on Earth,

we often have disputes over how
industry should be allowed to carry out

their business.

On Mars, those tensions are
absolutely exponentially bigger.

And so, it's going to be really,
really hard to say, yeah, of course,

build some sort of industrial site here.

They've had their sights
set on Mars for a long time.

Getting regulatory approvals
wasn't a problem for them.

They have international clout.

But more than that, they have money.

Lots of it.

And it allowed them to put together

an impressive team of engineers
to plan a mission of

their own.

That's my point.

The lack of planning.

Water is everything here.

We need it to live, we need it for fuel.

How could they come here without enough?

Because they knew we couldn't
say no in helping provide it.

What Lukrum Industries really wants

is to back-door IMSF into
some sort of partnership.

Why?

To gain credibility for this
so-called infrastructure mission.

Even though there's no
one here to provide it for?

This is just their
way of monetizing Mars.

This is one of those times I
wish you were still secretary general.

Has legal counsel arrived yet?

What Lukrum's trying to pull off
needs to be dealt with immediately.

No, but their CEO's here.

Mind if I come in?

Thank you.

I apologize for not having
arranged to meet sooner.

I think it's a holdover
from my never feeling

quite welcome here at
IMSF when Joon Seung was

secretary general.

I'm already more at ease with you.

What your company's trying to do

by demanding water for
humanitarian reasons is a

gross manipulation of
the outer space treaty.

That should have been my first apology.

The wrong impression was given.

Our mining crews are a little
rough around the edges.

They're not exactly the science types

those in Olympus Town are
used to dealing with, so.

And now, I owe you a third apology.

Oh, yeah, for a moment, I'd forgotten
you have that background as well.

It's an interesting choice, shifting
from scientist to bureaucrat.

My core values are still the
same, advancing the mission of IMSF.

That's why the need for
infrastructure can't be overlooked.

Well, it seems Lukrum did just that,

by sending employees up there without
enough water.

Look, I'm not going to deny
knowing that we could count on you.

But that was never anything less than a
quid pro quo, as far as I'm concerned.

I do know that since
the loss of MMC support.

We're not interested in bringing

Lukrum Industries into the IMSF circle.

You know, I understand
that's been the mentality here.

But you've taken on the mantle of
secretary general at a difficult time.

Terraforming, particularly at this pace,

won't show progress for
quite some time, if at all.

And even your award-winning scientist

has yet to find anything
new, for years now.

What are you suggesting, exactly?

That IMSF is dangerously
close to becoming irrelevant,

on your watch.

And you should ask yourself

if you want a second failure
as part of your legacy.

So, what happens next?

Building the link isn't an issue.

We can do that, and I'd like to,

but a lot's needed to
make it happen quickly,

at least on my end.

Hopefully we won't
need to do anything at all.

This is game-playing, and IMSF knows it.

Just waiting on an official
note from the secretary general.

I'd be happy to
deliver that message for you.

I don't trust that company
or those people one bit.

We don't need to make enemies,

but we don't need to be
handcuffed to anyone either.

Mm.

I love you.

You know that, right?

I know.

I could have never lasted
here this long without you.

Too many years now, right?

Maybe we should do something about that.

Maybe we should.

I'm going home.

What?

I'm leaving on the next flight to Earth.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Comms.

I need to conference all member-nation
representatives right away.

Conference call request sent.

Alright, let's hear what she has to say.

Mae, play message.

After much discussion, IMSF has
struck a deal with Lukrum Industries.

You're kidding.

They've agreed to increase
our terraforming efforts,

and will begin manufacturing solar
mirrors on Mars, which we will launch,

and the Chinese space
station team will attach.

So, for the time being, give
the miners what they want.

Transmission ended.

Any resource extraction is
high-stakes, even here on the Earth.

It costs millions, tens of millions,

hundreds of millions to
prove up a resource.

If you're going to extract
resources on Mars,

you're going to work with the
best drillers on Earth.

_

_

_

Drilling in the Arctic
is an incredibly risky endeavor.

There are threats from extreme frozen
waters, extreme harsh weather.

A lot of the operations have
proven to be empty wells.

And the consequences just for
the companies are enormous.

After pouring $7 billion into
its search for oil in the Arctic,

Royal Dutch Shell announced
today it was calling it quits.

After more than ten years,

the oil giant announced it
was abandoning the search.

This is a very, very hostile,
very remote environment.

It's really like trying to drill on Mars.

The Arctic is by far the hardest
place to drill off-shore in the world.

And it's a very expensive
place for companies to operate.

You know, you're laying a
lot of it out on the line.

_

_

_

_

_

_

_

On Mars, the stakes
are going to be even higher.

There's going to be high drama
and high stakes all the time,

around this kind of development.

Hold it, hold it,
hold it... alright drop it off.

Well, that's five kilometers down.

20 to go.

Alright, let's get this pipeline done, we
need that water, let's move, let's go.

It was getting over the first
rise, cost more time than we thought.

We can make up for it here, in the flats.

This is taking way too long.

Okay, well maybe we can see
if our friends at Olympus Town

will lend us some of their crew.

Yeah, I doubt they'd be much help.

Also, it's not like the
manpower that's slowing us down.

It's how hard this ground is.

What's slowing us down is
not being smart about the route.

If we cut through this area here, we
save three days and tons of material.

Yes, but I thought that we had to.

Jen, we just need to connect to
Olympus Town and get on with it, okay.

Look, every day we're not drilling

keeps us further from hitting pay dirt.

We're here for a reason, unlike
our friends over at science camp,

it's not to watch the ice caps melt.

Lukrum's going to have
the pipeline here early,

is that going to work for us?

We're halfway through load testing now.

So far, so good.

So, you don't anticipate any problems?

No.

Okay, shut it down.
Let's try reactor two.

Because even if Lukrum's ready sooner,

we should only share resources
if it's safe to do so.

I don't want you working any
faster than you need to, Javier.

It's fine. Doesn't bother me.

Okay. So, what is it, then?

You seem bothered about something.

You knew.

You had to have known.

Have to approve it, make plans for
it, arrange for another doctor

to take her place.

I did.

And I'm sorry.

But you have to understand,

that information was not
mine to share with you.

Look, I know how it must feel.

No, don't.

Amelie is leaving, and it's
not like I can chase after her.

My body's not prepared
to make the trip now.

And it's three years before
another trip is even possible,

and seven months of travel time

on top of that.

It's too long, for anyone.

The water system is good to go.

Leslie.

Hello.

I was here early.

He was an amazing
scientist, and a good man.

They're all good.

I know you feel that somehow
what happened is a reflection on you.

It was.

It is.

Paul wouldn't have
wanted you to just walk away.

He wouldn't have wanted you to just stop.

Joon, I can't go back.

I'm not asking you to.

Then why am I here?

I pulled some strings.

I moved myself up in the queue.

I intend to travel on the next ship out.

To Mars?

I know it seems impulsive.

But, if I don't go now,
I probably never will.

And you can't leave until you've found

a suitable replacement for your
position as secretary general.

Why me?

Because you get it, Leslie.

The politics and the science.

And you think I have something to prove?

Don't you?

Secretary general.

Yes?

Are you ready?

I'll be right there.

Let's see how these cultures

tolerate dehydration in this sector.

114.

Excuse me?

That's how many times we
field-tested variations of this same

microbial form since I've been here.

If you think that's a
lot, you should hear my number.

Probably right.

Makes me wonder how you've kept
from going nuts in this place.

This place, as you call it,

may have answers to the questions
we've been asking for centuries.

Where you see a red, dusty planet,
I see beauty and possibility.

I see a world that's
new and pure, and alive.

There isn't just one life form here.

There can't be.

We have to keep looking.

Yeah.

I hope we find something
before funding runs out.

What's this?

Is that one of Lukrum's?

This area is off-limits to them.

They can't do this.

Well, it looks like they are.

People will go to Mars
to try to make their fortune.

Yes, they're doing a job for
the corporation back home.

But they also are creating
lives for themselves.

You go to the frontier
because you have a vision

for you and your family.

That is not a greedy thing.

That is a human impulse to want
to do better for your family.

It takes that sort of frontier mentality

to do this work in the Arctic.

People have to leave their families
for often months at a time,

and go work in these very
isolated environments.

Hi, Daddy.

A few days ago, I went
to the store with Mom.

Boring.

But it was actually pretty fun.

I got a crystal kit.

You would probably think I
bought this, but I grew it.

Isn't it pretty?

I'm going to call it the Kurt crystal.

If you were here, I would give it to you.

But you're not.

I want you to come home.

I miss you, Daddy.

A whole lot.

Everything was running smoothly,

and now it feels like, like
I'm suddenly in over my head.

Javier's pissed at me,

Leslie barely speaks to me, and this
jerk from Lukrum is treating me

like I'm a little girl.

Hana, your experience
can't be denied by anyone.

Always remember that.

Sorry to interrupt,
but this is important.

I got to go.

Those idiots from Lukrum

are plowing through sector two,
which is an area devoted to

scientific study.

And they're contaminating
the hell out of it.

- What?
- You need to do something.

We agreed on the routing.

Are you going to call their commander?

I'm going to do more than that.

How are you doing?

Good.

I appreciate you coming.

I'm Jen, Senior Systems Engineer.

Pleasure.

Nice to see Lukrum has
some women in their ranks.

Yeah, there are six of us, and
he cuts us no slack whatsoever.

That's a nice elevator.

Robert, who you met, he had
it built for us a few years ago.

He also created this park.

- Oh, wow.

It also helps the crew keep
their circadian rhythms.

That's pretty great.

It's a place for people to get together,

relax, and experience day and night like
they did on Earth.

But that's not what I wanted you to see.

Right this way.

Is that why I'm here, for show and tell?

Kurt, I understand
your desire to move quickly.

But your crew has cut into
a scientific preserve,

and obviously I cannot allow that to
happen.

This is why.

Yeah, I get it.

You do important work here.

We're testing samples in the
area, and can't risk contamination.

With all due respect, commander,

the crew is a good 500 meters
from where your scientists work.

Look, I get the whole,
let's keep it a museum thing.

Kurt, I'm not talking
about the entire planet.

That's why we're doing
our part by making the pipeline.

I'm talking about one sector.

Which means we're going to
be using less of the resources.

And that's great.

But boundaries still
have to be respected.

Marta's research on microbial life is
central to the work we're doing here.

That's funny, cause I thought
maybe changing the atmosphere

was the bigger mission.

Obviously, terraforming
is vitally important, too.

Uh, breathable air versus microbes.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I assure you, everything we do here

takes brains and proper planning.

We're not the ones in
need of water and power.

Fine, we'll go back
to the original route.

It's the least we can do for
the people helping us out.

You ready to go?

We'll show ourselves out.

Mhm.

Hey.

Nice work on that elevator.

Thanks.

How'd it go?

I'm not sure.

But I think I'd feel better
having eyes and ears on them.

You moved your things out
of our HAB without a single word?

Are you really comparing
what I did to what you did?

No.

I should have told you sooner, but
I just, I just didn't know how.

You lied.

For months.

And waited until it was too late
for me to go with you to tell me.

I, I just didn't want to hurt you.

But, in the beginning, I really
thought I could do this.

I thought I could stay,
and I thought I wanted it.

And being with you helped me so much.

So, we are together
because we've been stuck here.

No, I just, look at us, Javier.

We've been living under dorms
for nine years, nine years.

I miss Earth.

I miss breathing fresh
air, I miss real grass.

I miss, I miss the
clouds, I miss the rain.

Look around you. This is all fake.

I miss real life.

This is real life too.

This is real grass too.

I miss my family!

And I've tried to fight it,

I've tried to stop thinking about
it, dreaming about it, but I can't.

I just can't.

And if I stay here any longer,
I'm just going to lose it.

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

As far as I'm
concerned, you're already gone.

How much longer guys?

Waiting on the crane.

Checking the hydraulics.

And?

Seems okay?

Should we do a line inspection?

After this one gets placed.

Copy that.

Could use some more hands over here.

Stepping in.

Alright, let's bring it down.

Roger that.

Where are the rest of the pipes, guys?

Got the next one
already cinched and hooked.

And six more en route.

Should have been here ten
minutes ago, we need to keep pushing.

I have three more coming.

Copy that.

How's the core alignment?

- Looking good?
- Hey, Terry!

- Keep that toe line tight.
- Yes, sir.

Come on, guys. I know you're tired.

I am too, but we're moving way too slow.

Let's get this one placed and
synced as quick as we can.

Let's go guys, we
got a target number to hit.

Yeah, we're going
as fast as we can, Shep.

We need to get hooked up to that water,

people or we're going
to have a real problem.

Hey help me hold this down.
It's not activating.

Hey, why don't you relieve
Terry while I do this?

He looks exhausted.

Who isn't?

Jen, what are you doing?

I just need to do a quick diagnostic.

Well, make it snappy.

We've already lost daylight,
and we're nowhere near done.

Right, while she's doing that, let's
start prepping the next pipe.

Do you always move at this fast a clip?

No, we usually move faster.

Shep's just tired today.

You're the design genius, right?

The one that built the elevator.

Group effort.

But that was a while ago.

Haven't built much since.

Jen, what could
possibly be taking this long?

Nothing. I'm on it.

Sorry.

Okay, let's get this done already.

What's going on down there?

Yeah, there's a short.

We're going to switch out the bad one.

Wait, hang on.

I got to pull the plug out first.

- Come on.
- It's stuck.

Let me help you.

I'm good.

Pull the pipe out.

Hold on.

Hold on, I almost got it.

Just leave it, we'll
switch it out for the next pipe.

No!

Displaced fracture with.

Robert, we're going to
take care of you, okay?

I tried to keep as much
pressure on it as I could,

but he's, he's lost a lot of blood.

Radial pulse is good, so at
least his arteries weren't severed.

Can you move your fingers at all?

No, not really.

Okay, okay.

Prep the OR, he's going to need open
reduction and internal fixation.

What does that mean?

Let's get him into the bay.

We need to set the bone surgically
using plates and screws, lots of them,

and hope there's no nerve damage.

Let's get his a scan and treat his pain.

How could they allow this to happen?

It wasn't them, it was me.

I wanted to help.

Why would you do that?

Maybe I wanted to feel useful, okay?

Comminuted fractures of the radius

and ulna as indicated.

Soft tissue damage as indicated

Not a surprise.

Pretty big crush injury to your forearm.

But, it could have been a lot worse.

Are you saying I'm lucky?

That you didn't lose it?

Yes.

But it'll be months
before you fully heal.

And with injuries like this, it's
possible you may never be 100%.

How can I be here, and not
be able to do what I need to do?

What I want to do?

Hey, hopefully, that
won't be the case for you, okay?

Come on, let's get you
prepped for surgery.

So, I hear you're going back.

You know we're all
going to miss you here.

Another doctor is
on his way to take my place.

But you're one of us.

One of the first.

You're being sentimental, Robert.

Must be the painkillers talking.

Okay, sit here.

I don't know why you'd want to leave.

Everything here is so easy.

I heard what happened.

I sent him there.

You may be in charge, but
not everything is your fault.

People make their own decisions,
and sometimes they get hurt.

Or hurt others without intending to.

You're not going in there?

I will, later.

There's a lot of work I still
need to do for the pipeline.

Not like this is going to stop Lukrum
from getting here on schedule.

That's for sure.

Alright, let's do this.

All drives linked in, operational.

Systems set.

Lukrum colony on standby.

Initiate.

Network engaged, power uploading.

Outflow in progress.

Connection made.

I don't care if they do have a dog.

Alright, that's it,
we are officially linked!

Good job, everybody.

With Lukrum Industries' commitment

to the additional production
of solar mirrors,

we are effectively doubling
our terraforming efforts.

Ladies and gentlemen, IMSF is
making Mars habitable and soon.

How's Robert?

Better.

He'll take some time to recover,

but he's lucky he didn't
lose his arm entirely.

Yeah, again, I'm
real sorry that happened.

Accidents do.

I know you're starting to survey,

but it's important I share
my experience with you,

commander to commander.

You're new.

I'm not.

And the one thing I've
learned in my time here,

is that you can't force anything.

You have to take it slow, and on the
planet's terms, or face consequences.

I appreciate the advice.

Look.

I'm sorry that we did not
start off on the best foot.

We're glad to have partners
in the terraforming effort.

I look forward to cooperation
between our colonies,

as long as boundaries are respected.

We will absolutely try to do that.

But you have to know, there
are no real boundaries here.

Not for Lukrum, anyway.

We're a company, not a country.

We didn't sign the outer space treaty,

and we aren't even based in
a country that did sign it.

So those laws, they
only apply to you guys.

We're not alone.

There are other human beings on Mars now.

And while all of us have
the same basic needs,

and the same long-term
goal of making this

planet a home for humankind,

co-existence may prove
just as challenging

as it does on Earth.
