Something ancient and malevolent lurks beneath the rusty surface of Mars, and the Ares VI expedition has awakened it. Major Rob Elston's final transmission reveals the horrifying fate of what should have been a routine geological survey on the red planet.
When the team uncovers a mysterious obsidian mirror kilometers below the Martian surface, their scientific curiosity leads them to power it up. What they discover defies explanation - not simple reflections, but twisted, hungry versions of themselves existing in a hellish parallel dimension. The mirror becomes a doorway, and one by one, crew members are replaced by their nightmarish counterparts.
These entities move with unnatural grace, their eyes glowing red, their fingers elongated into obsidian claws, driven by an insatiable hunger that transcends dimensions. The Mars habitat, once a symbol of human achievement, becomes a hunting ground as Major Elston watches his colleagues transform before his eyes.
Alone and desperate, Elston attempts to destroy the mirror by overloading the habitat's power generator, but the reflections are too quick. His final moments capture the horrifying sensation of his own transformation, as the hunger begins to consume him from within. His last warning echoes across the void of space: stay away from Mars, stay away from what waits beneath the dust.
For those brave enough to listen to this transmission, prepare yourself for a journey into cosmic horror unlike anything you've experienced before. And ask yourself - what might be lurking in your own reflection when the lights go out?
