1967 upon landing on Earth after completing their mission the Soviet spacecraft soyers won with cosmina Vladimir kamarov on board tragically perishes many years later under the leadership of the Swedish billionaire Meyer an expedition to Mars is being prepared after 10 months the crew of the spaceship ulyses reaches the red planet the captain informs the team that they have received permission to land and asks the ship's AI named Irene to verify everything required for a soft landing at this time Meyer reveals that he spent 4 years preparing for this journey sacrificing almost all his money for
it however the American company zillian beat them to it by Landing 2 weeks ago the problem is that Earth has received no news from the American Crew except for one video in which they ask not to come to Mars a dispute arises among the crew members but the captain declares that the landing will occur in any case and people disperse to their cabins with 30 minutes left until until Landing AI Irene begins preparations however an unforeseen event occurs the ship does not detach from the carrier system posing a threat to the entire crew the only
way out is to perform the separation manually the commander Ventures into space and struggles to free the attachments but at that moment the shuttle enters Mars's atmosphere throwing the captain into open space the shuttle almost crashes onto Mars as a system error causes a power outage now they can only rely on on manual Landing AI Irene goes into sleep mode and the astronauts still manage to land on Mars they succeeded but their fuel is depleted and Irene does not restart without the onboard computer and life support system they have only a day to survive allesandra
Mourns her deceased husband when she sees a figure in a spacit through the window after diagnosing the ship it becomes apparent that too much fuel was consumed during the landing and now the ship cannot return to orbit the only option is to wait for the solar panels to power the generators but there's a storm on the surface and it will take 2 days time they don't have at this point Simon mentions the American ship Zeta 1 which beat them by 2 weeks it likely crashed but there are probably batteries left the Rover sets out on
a journey while those remaining on the ship try to restart the system engineer Basel recalls that the AI has an energy saving function he initiates a reboot but Irene doesn't start at this time the rover finds the wreckage of the American spacecraft and one surviving solar panel but there is no sign of the American Crew the astronauts head back but spot an unconscious person in a space suit despite their ship running low on oxygen Janna insists on transporting the person nearby they find the black box from the American spacecraft the team arrives at the ship
but Yan refuses to let them inside stating that four survivors are better than eight corpses so he won't open the door doors Alesandra tries to persuade the man when the discovered astronaut wakes up and at that moment AI Irene activates and opens the doors upon examination the found astronaut knows nothing about the American Crew as he is Vladimir kamarov a Soviet Cosmonaut born in 1927 in Moscow carrying out the orders of the USSR government he doesn't know how he ended up here but is not willing to reveal any secrets karov confidently answers questions that are
consistent with his time raising the suspicion that he may have post-traumatic stress disorder the astronauts send a message to Earth and receive a response from the American corporation zillian stating that there were no Russians in their mission the crew of the ulses spaceship tries to make sense of the situation how could kamarov who died in 1967 end up on Mars after all these years is he a time traveler or an extraterrestrial the psychologist is tasked with questioning kamaro first and he confesses that he is hungry Janna goes to get food while the others try to
understand what has actually happened basil suggests the idea that kamarov was waiting for them meanwhile Vladimir is eating the food brought by Janna when the woman confesses that he died 50 years ago and his family buried him long ago kov takes this news rather calmly in the meantime the state of the ship although it has reached stability remains unreliable because the engines do not work and there is no fuel so leaving is impossible the crew continues to keep an eye on kamarov but he behaves calmly until he suddenly disappears Simon searches the ship but it
yields no results that's when the people discover that his space suit is missing a part of the crew follows the heat trail tracked by Irene the group led by Simon leaves the Rover and continues on foot when Alexandro reports that komarov's DNA analysis showed the presence of a third strand he is not human and then they catch up with karov who leads them to an unfamiliar structure with a small Stone pyramid on it and tells Janna that Mars has been waiting for them for a very long time at the same time Goldstein the founder of
the zillian corporation whose ship was the first to arrive on Mars is informed about the discovery of a person on the red planet who couldn't have gotten there naturally suggesting that he was created on site however only AI could survive for such a long time on a hostile planet for humans this implies the need for further study meanwhile kamarov cannot explain how he opened the door and found himself in the location where they discovered him AI Irene conducts an analysis of the structure and determines that it is identical to Earth structures from ancient civilizations it
means that someone was inspired by human civilization or humans borrowed these elements from extraterrestrials the ship's crew increasingly Ponders whether they will be able to return home when they notice the landing of goldstein's second ship soon the captain of the ship Gemma establishes contact and Promises to help them return to Earth however Meyer does not trust Goldstein and advises hiding kamarov from competitors Janna brings kamarov a uniform so that he does not stand out when the visitors arrive and he requests that they trust him shortly two armed military personnel Edward and Adam arrive on their
ship and behave rather aggressively Edward demands that they hand over the black box from The Zeta 1 ship and not hearing agreement orders his partner to search the ship Meyer hands over the found black box and they depart meanwhile chemist Eva reports that the stone found on Mars consists of an alloy that does not exist on Earth however it is known from ancient sources and was once called oricalcum the metal of Atlantis in addition to Copper zinc nickel and iron it contains a third strand of DNA similar to kovs my warns that if Goldstein learns
about this he will take the cosmina back the crew is divided into those willing to exchange him for fuel and those who are willing to stay but want to know the truth Janna invites Vladimir into her cabin and asks for permission to use hypnosis he agrees and the psychologist begins her work the rest of the crew listens to the conversation via transmission however kamarov only shares the final moments on the soyu spacecraft before its demise during this time time Gemma and Allan arrive on the ship and apologize for the actions of the military and express
their Readiness to help fix all the malfunctions Janna remembers her conversation with kamarov who laments the future of Earth due to Humanity's irresponsible behavior in the meantime it is revealed that the billionaire Meyer did not plan the flight just for the sake of it four years ago the Rover sent a photo to Earth of the found Steely and he confesses that they found a stone with unknown DNA Gemma explains that it's an information storage system that can be Rewritten upon hearing these words AI Irene activates and deciphers the message on the stone it's a series
of numbers at this time the hesitant Yan leads a mutiny he doesn't trust Meyer who warned them about zillion but now the Americans have come to their aid and their leader as it turns out concealed the true purpose of the flight he is ready to switch sides to Goldstein who is willing to do whatever it takes to combat his terminal illness later engineer basil informs Meyer that kamarov is the same kind of program as the stone they found but the most crucial Revelation is that he deciphered a copy of the black box from Zeta 1
which shows that the oxygen on the ship was cut off at the moment when one of the Americans struck kamarov this means he was there he also activated AI Irene when he boarded their ship after the conversation Meyer shows Janna the photos they received four years ago from Mars which when decrypted revealed Janna's face this is why he brought her on the Expedition the woman is disappointed Meyer played everyone suddenly she sees herself in her father's house where kamarov tells her that she is the link between Mars and Earth he has been waiting for her
for thousands of years and now he will prepare her to make a difficult decision he provides coordinates on Mars where Janna should go meanwhile on earth scientists inform Goldstein that kamarov is the equivalent of a computer and he himself is a biological machine they are ready to transfer his brain into aro's body but cannot guarantee the preservation of his personality however Goldstein is ready to take any risk to get rid of his terminal illness meanwhile Zanna leaves the ship despite Simon's protests at this time technicians Allan and alisandra test the engine and discover that access
to it is blocked and Irene suddenly begins responding with Jokes which is entirely uncharacteristic for a machine it is revealed that she has reprogrammed herself her interface and logic are changing and she refuses to answer who or what made her do this engineer basil realizes that her system is becoming like a brain Irene confesses that she is evolving in the meantime Janna finds a small Stone pyramid and Simon forcibly makes Gemma accompany him in the search for Janna Yan discovers his absence and after contacting Simon receives an order not to let anyone inside just at
that moment American military personnel arrived demanding that they hand over karov Yan is willing to open the entrance but the rest of the team opposes it mayor asks basil to send a message to Goldstein hoping that he may be more reasonable than his people however irini has blocked communication with Earth the engineer realizes that radical measures will have to be taken but Yan still opens the doors and the military personnel enter basil begins to reboot Irene just as the Americans find kamarov but then the lights go out and the astronaut disappears mean meanwhile Janna stumbling
falls from a hill she regains Consciousness but discovers that her leg is trapped between rocks and she cannot free herself at this moment the enraged military officer demands that the crew explain where kamarov went he begins to beat people demanding to summon the captain desperate Zenna screams is her Destiny to die in a pit on Mars but she is found by Simon and Gemma Alesandra notices an approaching storm the military officer is preparing to to leave the ulyses ship leaving the people in danger suddenly the lights start flashing and the newly appeared karov asks to
take him back to Earth Simon Gemma and Janna go together to the place indicated by kamarov and find an entrance to an underground bunker very similar to the petrom the psychologist feels where to go and leads the couple soon they find real water but this is not what komov wanted to show them meanwhile on Earth Goldstein tells the nurse a story about the study of Mars people were searching for green men but it's all much simpler he tells the story of the loyal dog Hachiko and compares karov to him who was created by someone 100,000
years ago and left on Mars where he Faithfully waited for his owner to this day at this time on Mars the astronauts find a wall made of human bones and realize that they are not the first people on this planet it's not earthlings colonizing Mars it's the Martians who came to Earth depleting the resources of the red planet a tragedy unfolds on the ulyses spaceship the Cowardly Yan grabs a gun intending to get on the American ship at any cost to return to Earth and shoots karov Janna immediately Falls and excruciating pain and Gemma flees
Alexandra tries to help kamarov and Simon helps Janna but the Russian cosmina dies and Janna stops breathing too then Simon removes his helmet and surprised by the presence of air in the cave performs artificial respiration on her the girl regains Consciousness Gemma walks toward the ulsi ship when she's informed of kamaro's death and the approaching storm meanwhile Meyer secretly goes in search of his crew members because the Americans refus to take the Billionaire's team back to Earth At This Moment a recovering Janna sees the light in the bunker and leads Simon to it upon coming
out the astronauts see a figure in a space suit in front of them and recognize kamarov Meer finds the entrance to the bunker and catches up with Simon and Janna while heading toward the light he is Amazed by the presence of a living kamarov who suddenly tells them that everything ended here a long time ago people realize that this is the North Pole of Mars but how did they get here karov explains that this planet was once inhabited by a species that went extinct because it went astray and that species was humans a group of
survivors settled in this place but ended up killing each other when resources ran out the rest of them flew back to Earth Plato called them the atlanteans komarov continues to talk about how he waited for thousands of years for Zanna who embodies qualities of both branches human and Martian AI only she can save Humanity from themselves she must decide whether humans deserve a second chance their conversation is interrupted by the military officer who intends to take the psychologist back to Earth the American aims his weapon at the cosmonauts and Janna seek help from komov suddenly
the military officer starts gasping for breath and falls upon returning to the ship Simon orders them to prepare to depart meanwhile Gemma from the zillian ship tries to contact her Associates but none of them respond she decides to fly back to Earth alone the ulyses crew heads to her ship trying to establish contact with her and informing her about the deaths of the military personnel but she doesn't respond that's when Meyers starts speaking recalling their past relationship and confesses that he's no better than Goldstein because he's willing to do anything to ensure his name remains
in history even betraying his team however she's not like that she won't be able to live knowing she has ruined people suddenly gemma's voice is heard asking them to hurry Goldstein has heard that Gemma has decided to take the ulyses crew back to Earth and has blocked the control panel of The Zeta 2 ship before takeoff the people on the ship prepare for their impending demise and Janna asks Mars what she should do everything she saw and heard on the red planet flashes through her mind and with sheer willpower she removes the control panels block
suddenly an armed military officer appears in front of the ship intent on damaging the engines with his weapon Simon is about to step out to stop the madman but Janna beats him to it she aims the weapon at the American but informs him that Mars will be the one to kill him the military officer Falls the countdown for liftoff begins and Janna realizes that there's no time to return she bids farewell to the crew confessing her love for Simon the ship takes off suddenly Meer notices that it's dark at the North Pole of Mars this
means that they couldn't have been there just a few minutes ago they truly were at the North Pole of Mars but in the distant past when the red planet was still suitable for life at the same time Goldstein is informed of the ship's return and he's beside himself with rage declaring that he will go to Mars himself and that's where the first season ends
