March Offworld Recon PC

The 80's of the 21st century. Earth resources can't satisfy all the needs of technologies and constantly growing population. People are forced to develop the nearest planets of the Solar system. The Moon was the main supplier of fuel for Earth thermonuclear reactors. Mars was regarded as a planet that is most appropriate for terraforming. But unlike the Moon developing which haven't brought any unpleasant surprises the Martian one have collapsed. The planet transformation was being performed too slowly space radiation that wasn't blocked with Martian rare atmosphere has produced unknown diseases. But most annoying were continuously repeated breakdowns of all the automation which made future work impossible. People had to leave Mars. Just a few deserted scientific stations that mysteriously wasn't touched with breakdowns have left there. For many years humanity quite forgot about that unsuccessful attempt to develop Mars. But then it reminded about itself. Satellites that have been left on Martian orbit got out of order at once. Last snaps made with them showed large installations that haven't been built by any of settlers teams. A special reconnaissance patrol has been sent to Mars. Its objective is to find out what is happening on the abandoned planet. Military Expendable Autonomous Telerobotics (M.E.A.T.) are being used when the humans presence is undesirable or even impossible. The most spread human-like modification ACS-1A "MeatBot" is used for combat rescue and reconnaissance operations in habits of hostile environment (very high or low temperature atmosphere pressure or intense radiation). Modular weapon frame with exchangeable barrel blocks and additional under-barrel devices is its standard equipment. Robots are being operated by humans-operators. Operators have the whole feed-back from the robots. Using a VR-interface they seem to "shift" to the robots.
