White map of Mars
The beginning of the 24th century. Rare metals and other raw materials are being mined at full speed on Mars. The population of the mining city, which services the entire planet and even the asteroids, is only about 50 thousand. The peoples of the Earth have long been united under the leadership of the "Big Government", divided the map of the planet into blue, green and unsightly yellow areas. Two-way communication with Mars is only "service-technological" - this is monitored by the security service. At some point, the inhabitants of the colony, all engineers and scientists, watch on the TV news that a civil war is brewing on Earth. They decide to declare their independence, fortunately, they have everything they need for life and development. No military fleet will arrive from Earth - it simply does not exist. On the contrary, the settlers plan to send the mined goods as before, organizing trade. However, not everyone wants to live the rest of their lives on the red planet and organize an underground with the purpose of escape. "Better on a troubled Earth than in an alien world of another planet." Buckle up and get on the shuttle.
