You're a Marine shipped to Mars after hitting a superior officer who ordered your unit to fire on civilians. The Union Aerospace Corporation has been running teleport experiments between Phobos and Deimos, Mars's two moons, and now Deimos has vanished and something is coming through the gates on Phobos. Your unit goes in. You're left guarding the perimeter, and then the radio goes quiet.
