The collapse of the first base on Mars was a harrowing one, sparked by a software error leading to the collapse of the oxygen futures market. Internal security measures nobody would later admit to having known about led to a drastic fall in labor supply, and attempts to uphold the base anti-union bylaws spiraled into older forms of violence. The last survivor, a former bodyguard of one of the founders, died while trying to use her employer's untested emergency — and, it turned out, overhyped — cryogenic pod, but the life support systems had become irrecoverable long before.
