Dramatization

The year is 1999. Gridlocked streets spew noxious fumes and commuter shootings are common. National, "Safe Driving Days," freeze city traffic. Citizens are hostages of a hostile environment. The world's lakes, rivers and oceans are stagnant pools. Water is the most precious commodity. Ice sectioning hews forty ton blocks of ice from the polar ice-caps and transports liquefied water in behemoth tankers once used for oil.

In our last episode U.S. President Sandra DeWitt hovered near death from a foiled assassination attempt. Tosh Rimbaugh secretly planned his own radio show with his own network of radio affiliates. A desperate Ronald Ratken, the world's only trillionaire, deployed an army of men in an attempt to locate his kidnapped son, Ethan Ratken.

Meanwhile back on Mars, Orion 1 had been commandeered and its crew held hostage by Jessica Storm, Commander of Artemis, Ronald Ratken's privately financed space ship that followed Orion 1 to Mars. The crew of Orion 1 was about to be terminated by Commander Storm when strange and powerful aliens summoned everyone down to the red planet's surface.
