CHAPTER - 02 - STORY SO FAR

Martian expedition

Story so far -  The Indian Mangalyaan 1 was a success - but after three years of its time, it made a hard landing.

This was followed by Mangalyaan 2 - which was a rover and landed successfully - searched and retrieved the Mangalyaan 1 satellite - its spare battery was reused.
Mangalyaan 2 - rovered around the Martian surface and found several interesting places. During one such expedition - it arrived at a large mountain near a crater.
Scientist analyzed the mother ship sattelite's photo images and identified dried river beds in that area. There was also supposed volcanic activities near by.
Mangalyaan 2 identified movements - which were later dismissed as being only seismic activity near the mountain area.
MY2 - encountered a sandstorm and hence had to abort the mission of going around the hill and instead made an emergency decision to seek shelter in a cave like
formation near the mouth of the dried river bed.
Inside the cave, MY2 switched its flash lights and started exploring the cave structure. When suddenly, it found a green moss like formation.
MY2 - analzed a sample of the moss like formation and the chemical testing was underway, when another seismic activity made a huge rock fall on top of the MY2 robot,
disabling it - with only the memory circuit - still running the test and beaming out the result.
The last of such beaming to earth made an astounding discovery of 'Unobtainium' - a rare organic compound - theorized to be a huge hit in both the pharma market.
Both the Indian Military as well as the leading pharma corporations make a deal and send out a rescue and research mission to Mars in MY3.
