Little is known about M, not even her name, what is known is that she's a high-ranking member of an underground Martian alliance. Operating a heralding service out of New York, M meets Jonny after he returns from prison, and needs to open a line of communication with his girlfriend. At the start of 2003, laws were passed across Earth to abolish non-governmental correspondents between planets, resulting in the need for illegal alternatives. The anarcho-communist philosophies of The Red Planet were never designed to live alongside the politics of capitalism, unfortunately, fifty-million miles isn't far enough away. As tensions rise from the ground and into the vacuum of space, sending a simple letter has become a secretive and costly affair, introducing characters of an unsavoury and violent variety.

“So you the person to talk to, huh?”
