The geophysicists here, at Mission Control, stare at the research data in disbelief. The pocket of natural gas we discovered deep among the hydrocarbon rocks was nothing short of an evidence of petroleum formation. We’ve analyzed material from the Anomaly and it completely validates our hypothesis on abiogenic petroleum! Publicize the find as a triumph of humankind.Publicize the find as a triumph of the Mars mission.If there was past life on Mars, perhaps we are not alone in the universe! We've managed to confirm that the deposit originated on Mars and not on one of the many asteroids that pockmark the surface of the planet. The Explorer examined a mineral cluster and found the preserved remains of microscopic life forms. The sensor reading from the Anomaly site provided the answer to one of the biggest mysteries about Mars. We faced a difficult decision, but at the end, it was a matter of simple pragmatics. The mineral veins were positioned in such a manner inside the rock that we couldn't blast through without compromising some of them. The rover came across coffinite rocks rich in uranium, clustered on top of a rich hematite deposit. The planet constantly reminds us of its old habit – to give with one hand and take with the other. It’s not every day that we have the luxury to choose from what Mars has to offer. (Reduces the cost of Engineering techs by 10%) The experts at Mission Control argued for hours, but the course of action was clear.

The geological team couldn't wait to get their hands on the samples, but this was going to prevent the engineering team from smelting the materials for their ceaseless operations. To find such a rich deposit of such a rare metal. Our initial spectrographic analysis confirmed it. (Reduces the cost of Social techs by 10%) Display it as a monument in the Colony.It belonged in a museum, but on the other hand was an opportunity to gain more parts that we could rarely get our hands on. A historic finding that stretched its hand in a welcoming gesture through the years back to the first missions on the Red Planet. We immediately recognized it – Curiosity. Under those fine red sands lay the intact hull of a rover. The readings told us it was a vein rich with ore, but the data turned out to be incorrect. Focus on geochemical analysis of the most Sulphide-rich samples.Concentrate effort on gathering as many samples as possible.The time of the expedition was limited and we urged them to make a final decision. For hours, the telemetry was filled with buzzing chatter as the scientists at Mission Control discussed the implications of the element and made inventive plans about the future. The Explorer vehicle gathered various soil samples from far and wide around the Anomaly site and fed us the data.

You’d think the Explorer had found buried treasure, the way our scientists were reacting. One of the following events will always trigger after an Event Anomaly is investigated:
