The first trip to Mars on the new Mars Runner space train was expected to be a long one. Laden with supplies and merchandise a new and uncertain future awaited the passengers and dignitaries on board and with a very capable crew there were no doubts that a safe landing would await them. Living on board the space train for their journey of nine month and with unknown challenges ahead, some of the passengers were getting restless and tempers flared, fuelled by alcohol and drugs and the challenges of what their future was to be. When a tragic event happened fingers were pointed in several directions. Suicide, murder, conspiracy were the last things expected on this maiden flight. Was an outside power responsible for the problems on the Mars Runner, and what would they find when they reached their destination.
