Virgle Dangers
Though extensive safety precautions have been taken in and around all Virgle space settlements, the outerlying maritan terrian and alien atmosphere has a few dangers to be aware of. The Virgle Welcoming Council (VWC) wishes to assure all newcomers that the situation is constantly improving and the dangers of Mars will steadily diminish over time.
Volcano Tubes
Though warning signs are liberally posted around the base of all martian volcanoes within close proximity to the settlements, a few ill-advised newcomers have chanced risky hikes with unfortunate results.
Though the view is stunning from the rim of one of these dormant giants, the path upward is a virtual minefield of thin, petrified surface cover lining the tops of deep vocano tube troughs. One misstep can send a foolhardy Virgle pioneer plummeting hundreds of feet down a dark and deadly tunnel.
Atmosphere
Without your specially-constructed* Virgle spacesuit, you couldn't endure the thin atmosphere of the Red planet. Carbon dioxide reigns supreme while oxygen is in scant supply in the martian skies. But thanks to modern technology and the tireless efforts of the Virgle Institute of Scientific Integration Of Nanotechnology (VISION), a special lightweight* spacesuit has been overwhelmingly approved* for use on mars.
Equilibrium Imbalance
Life on mars takes a bit of adjustment. Virgle medical professionals are aggresively developing treatments for the occasional "psychological episodes" displayed by a small percentage of the martian inhabitants. If you or any of your fellow Virgle pioneers exhibit traits of dizzyness, paranoia, sleeplessness, nausea, cold sweats, hot sweats, acute anxiety, fear of spoons, vomiting, dead hands, fingernail sensitivity or similar conditions, please report to the nearest Virgle physician immediately.
*Virgle spacesuits, while currently classified under "prototype" status proudly maintain a 92.3% success rating under optimal conditions. Though extreme subzero martian winters drastically lower this rating, V.I.S.I.O.N. is confident that ongoing research will achieve greater results in the near future.
