Overview
For decades a secret civilization has lived in an underground city on Mars. But when the magma that powers the city threatens to overflow and wipe it out, the president sends his most trusted scientist to explore outer space and find a suitable new home for his people. And when the scientist's spaceship crashes on Earth, bringing him face-to-face with a rising young entrepreneur named Elon Musk, the chance to use the Earthling's genius and fortune to save the endangered people of Mars is just too great to ignore. But was the meeting simply a coincidence? Or is there something more to it?
Description
A secret civilization has been living in an underground city on the Planet Mars. The thousands of Martians which exist there are highly intelligent but very isolated beings because the cold temperatures of the Martian surface won't let them leave the underground. The entire civilization gets its power and heating from the liquid hot magma of the planet's internal crust. But now, there are signs of that magma rising too quickly and it threatens to wipe out the underground city. This eventual danger has forced the leader of the city, President Jav, to devise a plan for moving the civilization away from the underground and onto another planet. He has entrusted the city's only scientist, Dor, to build a spaceship that would allow him to explore outer space and find a nearby planet that can support Martian life. But Dor gets more than he bargained for after his ship, the Xeon 001, crashes onto this nearby planet called Earth. It is the year 2002 on Earth and Elon Musk was a rising young serial entrepreneur. His eagerness to go to Mars led him to start his own space exploration company called SpaceX. Little did he know that his genius mind and vast fortune would end up being taken over by Dor, who would become his doppelganger. Thanks to the duplicator device that President Jar gave him, Dor takes over Elon's identity on Earth while the real Elon vanishes into thin air. This was merely a coincidence that Dor happened to come across Elon… or was it? Now, in this powerful and resourceful position, the new Elon Musk impersonator has plans to create a new spacecraft on Earth that will take him back to Mars and save his people from the doom that awaits them. However, the people closest to Elon start to develop suspicions about his true intentions or whether he is even the real Elon Musk at all.
