MISSION OUT OF CONTROL

An unfortunate detail, which was ignored for political reasons, was that the two leaders of the mission to Alpha Centauri hated each others guts.

The first man on Mars.

ADMIRAL JACK MOMBASSA (49).
The legendary first man on Mars is in charge of the mission. The buck stops with the admiral, but Mars was a walk in the park in comparison and Jack’s got more problems than he can handle. How to rein in his out of control captain is a priority. Dealing with visitations from Jimi Hendrix’s ghost is another big one.

The first man on Titan.

COMMANDER HORATIO BRANSON (46) VC, DFC.
The controversial first man on Titan (he was the only astronaut to return from the mission) is the captain of the UNICS Madison Hopkins. But the truth is, the adored British hero is a conman of the first order and Jack Mombassa knows it. Branson is a bully, a cheat, a liar, a coward and a cad, who can pull the wool over peoples’ eyes in a blink. Indeed, his actions are so deplorable, women want him put on ice for the rest of the voyage. But for some reason the admiral won’t do anything about the swine.

Jack Mombassa's fantastic office on the spaceship.
