FAQ:

1: What is the general manner in which the residents of the Colony travel around? 
Travel is done by golf carts, with the immense size of the dome, it is not uncommon for some to use carts from point A to point B.

2: How is the exploration of the planet from the colony done?
F-16s' were made and created to do the job of fly overs of the planet that for now surrounds the dome. They take photos of the land, and then return with the data via computer link.

3: How many levels/floors does the Dome have?
54, with 53 starting at ground level and working it's way up. Level 54 being the underground level, and it's size being twice the size of the Dome itself.

4: How does one have money, make money and pay money for food, clothing, extras?
Since those on Mars are obviously not on Earth to receive their pay checks, provisions have been made so that each employee/military staff and others there at the colony. Have a card, like a debit card, that money is put on, each month. It's not an allowance, it is their pay. Every month their pay is up linked to the computers network and when a person buys something, the card is swiped and the amount is deducted from their account. It's pretty self explanatory, but if you have questions, please ask.

5: How big is the actual Dome, in width?
It is roughly the size of 3 standard football fields side by side. Making the underground level 54, the size about 9 football fields in size, side by side. 

6: Can my character just go outside of the dome anytime?
NO, they can not. They, this means you....The character and you must somewhere in your post have stated they spoke with someone first or email/IM either of the GM's to ask about it. Since, life inside the dome is to atleast be somewhat normal on a new planet...the scientists are there to study what is found and brought back by the Jets, and Military/Engineers go to check/double check the safety of the dome inside and outside. So they have the 'clearance'  and the 'reason' to go outside of the Dome. Anyone else would have to be properly supervised and escorted outside, for everyone's safety.

7: How did my character get picked for this program?
The specialists/chiefs etc...were recruited.. the best of the best. After they were hand picked, everyone else applied and upon getting approved...then they were brought on board for the project.

8: How long is each person's tour/job/contract?
With Mar's elapsed time of rotating around the Sun being 24 hours and 37 minutes long, 687 days a year. Each person signed a 5 year contract. Going with Earth's time of rotation/calendar. Meaning...Each person signed up for atleast the 5 year Earth long contract, 2 1/2 years Mars time.  And once their time is up, they are sent home. Allowed to Re-up for the job. However, not guaranteed they would get picked right away or at all.

9: Why is there military there?
For many obvious reasons, to secure peace. To secure the safety as well as when has any major project NEVER gone without a military presence for long?

10: What is the main objective of the mission?
To of course explore Mars, colonize it and see if there are or has ever been any sign of life on the now desert planet.
