00:33
This is New Albion on Mars.
00:36
To new colonists arriving from Earth.
00:40
Your journey from Earth to Mars has taken several months so
00:44
you are likely to have 'space legs' from spending such a long time in zero-g.
00:51
You may be feeling physically weak and disorientated
00:54
now that you are back on solid ground.
00:58
Mars gravity is just under 40% of Earth gravity,
01:03
so any discomfort you experience on landing is likely to be less severe
01:08
than if you were returning to Earth after a similar time in zero-g.
01:16
On arrival you will first be taken to New Albion's
01:19
space-side medical facility for checkup.
01:24
We'll complete the immigration process and New Albion induction
01:28
at the same time, so you can continue to your New Albion
01:32
destination as soon as you are well enough.
01:38
Once colony-side, you are as free to move around as a human ever was.
01:44
The realities of New Albion life
01:47
are such that there is no public transport system.
01:51
In fact there is no motorised transport at all inside the colony.
01:59
Pedal taxis are a popular choice;
02:01
these can be booked at the colony's Exchange.
02:06
Other options for getting you and your luggage
02:09
to your destination may be available if you post
02:13
a suitably general need at the Exchange.
02:19
Dont worry about paying for goods and services when you first arrive,
02:22
the Exchange offers a generous credit limit!
02:27
Welcome to New Albion!
