Welcome To Mars

Dan Mason teaches his brother, Alec Mason, the basics of working on Mars, tasked with destroying an abandoned laboratory and tower to test his skills. Shortly afterwards, an EDF Gunship kills Dan, sparking the beginning of Alec's involvement in the Red Faction.

Dialogue

Dan Mason

Here's the site I was telling you about. It was a research outpost once, before the Marauders killed the scientists...

Alec Mason

Marauders?

Dan Mason

You don't want to be caught out here after dark. But it's a good place to find salvage.

Alec Mason

I'm here to mine, not hunt for scrap.

Dan Mason

On Mars, scrap is like gold. Got your sledgehammer and charges? Good, let's see what you can do.
Shit... Up in the sky. EDF Gunship. Didn't think they'd be out here today... I'll keep an eye on it, you get the salvage.

Destroy the laboratory and tower

Dan Mason

See that salvage on the ground? Pick it up so we can trade it.

Dan Mason

Hey, use your remote charges and take that big structure right there. Right now you can set 2 charges before you detonate them. Remember, you can swap weapons and still use the detonator. Come back to me if you run out of charges.

Dan Mason

Hurry up Alec.

Alec Mason

Dan... What the hell is going on? Who's the girl?

Dan Mason

You know what's going on. Alec... the Red Faction could really use a guy like you.

Alec Mason

To do what? What are you people doing out here?

Dan Mason

Whatever it takes.

Alec Mason

I'm not a terrorist Dan.

Dan Mason

You think I am? The EDF are wiping out towns. Alec, we need help!

Alec Mason

Hey! You got me into enough trouble earthside. I just wanna do honest work here.

Dan Mason

That's what we're fighting for! If we don't resist, they'll take everything.

Alec Mason

Enough!

Dan Mason

You'll see I'm right about this.

Laboratory and tower destroyed

Dan Mason

We're out of time.
