In 2050, the people of New Columbia -a multinational colony on the planet Mars- revolted against their tyrannical overlords, Aerotec Industries. Now, several months later, General Seamus Connally is ordered to take care of a recurring problem: every convoy that has gone through an unnamed mountain pass has disappeared without a trace.
Semaus makes his way with an armed force to the pass, but his force is nearly killed by what appears to be a remnant of Aerotec’s robotic military, the Inquisition. He narrowly escapea death, and his enemy lives to fight -and plot- another day.
