TMW#14 - Mars System | "Crucial Information"

Overview ~

Mars, a vastly populated backwater human colony is the front for what would revolutionize and turn the tides of the war against the defying Reapers. On an isolated Archives facility holding untranslated Prothean data caches and information, something in this very archive could be the life line of the galaxy; and the deciding fate of their survival. But when Cerberus gets involved, the situation complicates further.

Thanks a lot! The game definitely did have amazing lighting, one of those little things you can appreciate :P And no, I hadn't gone far enough to develop night lights for the BAT. Just a plain day compatible BAT, but I'll think about developing the nightlights when I have time :)

Republic Master

Lol, yeah :P Thanks a lot Will!

Note: Now this update was quite time consuming. All in all, I spent about 12 hours on it lol. About 11 hours developing the BAT, 10 minutes on the setting and about 50 minutes photoshopping. As you can see, it took a while

:P Luckily, unlike my previous update, this comes with a massive mosaic rather than a lone pic. So hopefully you appreciate the amount of work that went into this one update! Turned out better than expected considering that I've been texturing with Google Sketch up's crappy paintbucket thing.

Yep, it's on Mars. Particularly made based on the mission Priority:Mars that takes you to a Martian Colony Archives, storing information and data caches on the Protheans and their research. And no I did not make this with SimMars

:P

Far off from the Violaceus Nebula (Violet Nebula) at the Human home system of Sol, Cerberus is out raiding an Martian Colonial Archives facility harboring salvaged Prothean data caches and information regarding to the race, technology and data on the early evolution of Humanity during its Cro-Magnon stage. But with the Reapers arriving in brute force, first striking at the Human homeworld of Earth, information from this archives facility could hold the life-line of the galaxy in the new war that has arisen in the back alley of the Milky Way. But Cerberus' mysterious figure head, the Illusive Man is not the only one scowering the planet for vital information.

After leaving Vancouver, Canada in the midst of fire and landing Reaper ships, Commander Shepard and his team were ordered by Admiral Hackett to search the facility for a potential weapon against the Reapers. But unaware of Cerberus' presence, the potential for losing the vital information was unknown to them.

The complex was not large, and first thought would see no problem in acquiring the desired information. But with Cerberus involved, their plans would be compromised.

As they made contact with the Martian Surface, they immediately sighted the archives facility.

A dust storm was approaching, and the winds were beginning to pick up. They'd need to get there sooner before they began to lose communication with each other and the Normandy. And the sooner they got in and out with the data, the sooner they could act on ending the Reaper war.

When they arrived at the Landing Zone just out of the facility, the could see in the further out distance Cerberus soldiers executing Facility staff and scientists. Seems like a simple retrieval of sensitive data would be a lot more difficult.
