Exploration has been proceeding well at Shepard Base, an outpost in the Marineris Valley on Mars. But a large dust storm has developed and is about to blow through the encampment. Remote data gathering craft have been called back to base but a small rover called Spirit is missing and believed lost in a nearby boulder field. The storm may last for days by which time Spirit and its valuable science data may be unrecoverable. To find it before the storm hits is a task for the best jetpack pilots on the base!
Take control of a futuristic jetpack and join your “wingmen” as the team ventures out to locate Spirit and capture its location. Work quickly, though, because the storm is racing up the valley behind you!
