In the near future, corporations became as powerful as any governments, pioneering the radical advances in science and technology. One of such companies, the Helix Corporation sets its sights on the commercial use of space, launching an ambitious private program of space colonization. They create project Arrow, which if successful would put the first human colonists on Mars. One hundred carefully selected human astronauts and androids, would establish a permanent Martian colony with the help of a hyper quantum supercomputer called Magnus, the most powerful and most sophisticated Artificial intelligence in the world. But just as the astronauts are finishing their training, the world is struck by a devastating global pandemic that wipes out millions across the planet in several weeks.
