Please peruse the attached lists and let our office know if anything is missing. Our office is prepared to subsidize a trip from your area of residence to our office in Luna City for 8am Monday, January 4th, 2100. Cab fare from the spaceport to our office, as well as accommodations at an adjoining bed and breakfast will be provided.

Immediately after this, the group will depart for Mars, meeting a supply shipment of rations and gear that was sent last year, and should arrive a month before you leave. Please find attached links to official public media regarding our products and sponsors, as well as maps and cities of Mars. <illegible squiggle> ----->8----- Since then, we've made it to late February 2100, and seen city-domes blown up, rescued a pair of people being kidnapped, found a mysterious lava lamp that seems to have odd memetic effects (and later had it stolen), endured public-relations photo-ops, rescued a K-10, upgraded a Ghost to an open-source OS, suffered a broken arm during equipment training (and downloaded the infomorph to a loaner body while it healed), won a lottery, and ridden off into the wild red yonder...
