At sunrise on the 140th sol of the northern spring of the 255th Martian year, the atmospheric generator AUSTINY-20FXT0 was attacked an unknown rocket apparat.
40 seconds after the attack, all the electronic systems of the generator were turned off, and the fusion reactor launched a cascade of chaotic restarts.
With some kind of restart, a powerful explosion thundered in the reactor zone and an orange rope of fire flew up into the sky.
This umbilical cord shining with fire tossed about in space like a giant whip, growing rapidly until its far end disappeared into the void.
Then thousands of suns flashed in the sky, and when they were extinguished, a huge planet of blue-green color hung over the surface of Mars.
The new celestial body was located at such a close distance that the giant's gravity should have immediately made Mars its satellite. But this did not happen, as if the physical laws had ceased to operate here.
The rocket apparat of the station invaders started the engines and headed towards the giant.
A repeating signal flew into space from its board: "ioxilon-4-4-1, ioxilon-4-4-1, ioxilon-4-4-1 ...."
