Mars Habitat Ares-3: The Red Storm

Author: KOXLO SF관

Year 2084, Terraforming Outpost Biodome-3 on Mars's Ares Vallis. When an unpredicted 400 km/h iron-oxide super-storm strikes the base during emergency evacuation, astrobiologist and geologist Han Do-gyeong is hurled into a basalt crevasse by flying debris and left behind for dead. Armed only with a shattered oxygen regenerator, frozen hydroponic trays, and engineering ingenuity, he drills into an ancient subterranean lava tube aquifer to survive 180 Sols—only to uncover anomalous bioluminescent mineral veins pulsing beneath the Red Planet.
