Description: In 2026, a wormhole portal known as the Ark, leading to an ancient city on Mars, is discovered deep beneath the Nevada desert. Two decades later, the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) research facility on Mars, housing 85 personnel, comes under attack by an unknown assailant. Following a distress call from Dr. Carmack, a squad of eight marines is dispatched to the facility. The team, led by Sgt. Asher “Sarge” Mahonin, includes members nicknamed “Duke,” “Goat,” “Destroyer,” Portman, “Mac,” a rookie referred to as “Kid,” and John “Reaper” Grimm. Their mission is to search and destroy the threat on Mars, with the UAC primarily focused on retrieving computer data from their experiments in anthropology, archaeology, and genetics.
The team travels to Mars via the Ark and orders the Earth site to be locked down. Upon arrival, they are greeted by a UAC employee named “Pinky.” Reaper reunites with his twin sister, Dr. Sam Grimm, and assists her in retrieving the data. He learns that a dig site, where their parents tragically died years earlier, was reopened. There, ancient skeletons of a humanoid race, genetically enhanced with an artificial 24th chromosome pair, were discovered.
While searching for survivors in the facility, the marines find a severely traumatized and injured Dr. Carmack and take him to the medical lab for treatment. However, he later disappears. The marines encounter an unknown creature in the genetics lab, which leads them into the facility’s sewer system. There, the creature attacks and kills Goat. The team manages to kill the creature and takes it to the medical lab for examination. During the autopsy, Sam discovers that the creature’s organs are human. She and Duke witness Goat resurrecting, only for him to kill himself by smashing his head against a reinforced window. Soon after, they are attacked by another creature, which they trap and identify as a mutated Dr. Carmack.
The squad systematically tracks down and eliminates several of these creatures, though Mac, Destroyer, and Portman lose their lives during the process.
