Mars Ops
A command outpost dug into a buried glacier. 21 crew, one tired engineer, one station AI.
Five shifts. Every call is the same question: who should decide, the human or the AI?

Sol 412. Night shift.
You run operations at a 21-person outpost under the ice. Sol 412 means 412 Mars days since the outpost opened, a little over a year. The relief crew lands in 7 sols. Until then it's you, one engineer and the station AI.
MaraThird double shift this week. Please tell me nothing's on fire.
ColinNothing is on fire. I've optimised three things already.
Open the crew files to see what Mara and Colin are good at. Give orders from the Shift jobs panel. Colin works through station systems, so he can run several jobs at once. Mara has to walk, can only be in one place, and every job tires her out. Hit Pause any time to read and plan; you can give orders while paused.
