The story


       
           The Carcass screenplay at first seemed a bit unclear to me so as an artist I decided to add some narration to the story which could explain characters’ behavior. I researched some Science fiction subgenres while concluding which direction is the most appropriate in my point of view. The main idea was to present the story in way similar to our current presence but at the same time as a part of a totally different reality. For that reason, I decide to exaggerate some current fears about the futuristic computer society by sending my characters on a Mars and creating their “robot” society there with a total lack of nature. Later on, I found out that there’s already much information about eventual Mars human settlement one of which is planned for year 2023 and there are already more than 200 000 applicants for it. This massive project is sponsored  by Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp and proposes some structures and possible solutions which were quite useful, but this will take part in the next post. However, I decided to include this story in the background as a unsuccessful despite the high interest and in my opinion it’s most likely to turn into a failure for two main reasons. First of all, it’s part of people’s behavior to lose interest after they get what they wanted. Now it may sound as the highest possible point of an adventure, but later when they alight on the red planet, everything would look completely different. On the other hand, if you imagine just for a second having the same old view while looking through the windows wherever you are, won’t be quite hard to realize how monotonous would it actually be. Though, my story starts after the flop of this first expedition when the characters has been sent as part a special second expedition which does not consist of so transparent action. People have been secretly injected a liquid which cost their loss of memory and are enabled to express any complaints and organize riots about their eventual returning to Earth. Thus, this prevent step is taken to avoid any other unsuccessful expedition which had already cost a great financial losses.
