RED DIRT - JAUNT INFO
Space, cowboys, and metaplot
July 7 - August 16
Mars, 2148. The greedy corporate barons that run Mars ration technology as a way to keep their industrial workers and colonists in line. The black-market smuggling this leads to has created a thriving underworld, and one of the premier pieces of contraband is… well, cattle, due to their ability to feed on the tough, inhospitable grasses that hold down the Martian topsoil, and, er… create new, better topsoil of their own.
The citizens of Ridge Rock, tired of being ground down under the heel of the corporate overlords, have decided to take matters into their own hands, with a little help from the local ne’er-do-wells. Every Founders’ Day, Erebus Corp shows off its wealth by importing a fresh herd of cattle from Earth, and this year is no exception - so why not steal as many of those cows as they can and bring them home, tipping the balance of power and becoming a little more self-sufficient? Of course, managing a herd of cattle in the low-gravity deserts is easier said than done, and before they can declare it a success they have to get those cattle home.
Enter the Travelers - but not, as quickly becomes apparent, to usual circumstances. Who are these handful of mostly unfamiliar faces claiming to be Travelers? Why are a couple of the very oldest guard positive that they’ve been here before, and not merely in the general sense? What brought them back, and what must they do before they leave? Have the stakes on any jaunt ever been higher?

And if Felih were to try and bring Lumina with him (Spirit Companion), how would a leopard-like creature blend in? Would it be turned into a housecat? Are there even pets/animals on Mars besides cattle? Or would Lumina just have to chill in Liminal Space for now?

Also: how old is the colony, how many generations in? Was there some sort of lottery system for first arrivals or was it all merit-based?
