X-Com at last aim to go ahead with plan to invade the alien base that is confirmed to be operated by Ethereals, and use the outcome as a springboard to go where no human has set foot before, a region on Mars called Cydonia. Meanwhile, the base management and manufacturing continue, nothing stops in the daily routine that brought the soldiers this far. It's Mars or bust for X-Com now, let's see if we can at least land on the Red Planet!
