[. . . ] R E D FA C T I O N INSTRUCTION MANUAL INTRODUCTION Mars in the near future. Mars is the planet of opportunity, its mineral wealth feeding the insatiable needs of Earth, a planet stripped of raw materials and minerals. Ultor Corporation, aptly named after the ancient Roman temple dedicated to Mars the god of war, owns all the mining rights on the planet. The company is an expert at maximizing production while minimizing costs. [. . . ] Pressing the Alternate Fire button will cycle through the four points of view: Front, Left, Rear and Right. Armor Remaining Aesir Fighter The Aesir Fighter is an extremely agile craft used in aerial combat. It offers both heat-seeking missiles (ULT-AR4 Steeleye Tandem Warhead), which are the Alternate Fire weapons, and a Gatling Gun (ULT-8CG 30mm 8 barrel), which is the Primary Fire weapon. Armor Remaining Available ammo (primary fire) Available ammo (alternate fire) 21 Note: Use the Jump and Crouch buttons to slide the vehicle up and down, increasing and decreasing your altitude. This technique is essential when engaged in aerial combat with Ultor-controlled fighters. Submarine The Submarine offers heat-seeking torpedoes for firepower. To discharge a torpedo (ULT-MK1 Passive/Active Homing Torpedo), Armor Remaining Available Torpedoes use the Primary Fire button. Like the Aesir Fighter, the Jump and Crouch buttons will slide the Sub up and down to increase and decrease its depth. Note: Ultor subs are armed with heatseeking missiles. Keep moving to avoid a direct hit! 22 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) Available ammo (primary fire) The APC is a heavily armored and powerful vehicle that offers a mortar (Forward Mounted ULT-80mm), which is the alternate Armor Remaining fire, and a Chain Gun (Chain Gun ULT-6AG 20mm), which is the primary fire, as its weaponry. Although Available ammo (alternate fire) not as quick as the ATV, the APC is quick enough to run down a fleeing mercenary. 23 CHARACTER Parker BIOS You are Parker, a miner employed by Ultor. One day you witness a guard brutally attacking another miner and you are left with only one choice­kill or be killed. I can't believe how stupid I was. Yeah, `Come to Mars, Help Make a New World!' How could I have believed that crap?I always thought I was different, better than most. Parker, if you please­had my life all scoped out. Private schools, tutors, prep school, Ivy League for undergrad, then grad school and on to a glittering career in academia. They had me running their little maze. Never being able to separate what I really wanted from what they'd trained me to want. Not knowing where I began and where they ended. No achievement was praiseworthy. When the acceptance letter from Harvard came, they took it like no big deal, just an expected turn in the maze. I ripped up the letter and stormed out of the house, hardly able to see straight. I wanted to do something that wasn't another item to mark off on their progress chart. Signing up for Ultor's mining operations on Mars sure fit that bill. I drove downtown, saw one of their recruiting offices, and it just clicked. The next thing I knew, I was on a shuttle bound for Mars. That's when it hit me. What was I doing?The other recruits lost their lunch during takeoff and it floated about the cabin for the whole ride. I dodged it during freefall, but when gravity returned on Mars the mess fell over all of us.
