The Mars Prison Station takes high security to the extreme. Unlike other stations, there are no vehicles on standby at the station. There is only one docking port and it is protected by docking bay doors. Vehicles transferring supplies and personnel must follow strict procedures for docking with the station.
The outer bay doors remain closed until the incoming ship has been verified and all prisoner secured. Then the doors are opened and the vehicle is allowed to dock, but the hatch is left closed. The outer bay doors must be sealed before the hatch is opened. Vehicles only remain docked for a few hours at a time while the transfer takes place. Once the transfer is complete, the hatch is sealed and a bed count is performed to make sure all prisoners are still secure. Only after all the prisoners are accounted for are the outer bay doors are opened and the vehicle is allowed to depart.
The first prisoner scheduled to be to sent to the Mars Prison Station is Sergie 'Decompression' Tremp. His nickname comes from his preferred method of murder by exposing his victims to the vacuum of space.
He was serving aboard the Toledo, a cargo ship in deep space. He murdered the other 3 crew members by luring them into the air lock and then decompressing the airlock before they had a chance to put on their space suits. After running out of victims on his own ship, he triggered the distress beacon.
Another cargo ship, the Loshad, was nearby. When it arrived to help, he waited until it had docked and had opened the hatch to board. Segie laid in wait in his space suit while the Loshad came to assist. When a member of the Loshad crew was boarding the Toledo, Sergie, opened the other exterior hatches on the Toledo. This immediately killed two of the crew members. The other two crew members were able to seal off the hatch to the Toledo before all of the atmosphere escaped.
Sergie then killed one of the remaining crew members of the Loshad after she re-boarded the Toledo in a space suit to investigate what was presumed to be an accident. Sergie slit open her space suit with a large utility knife. At this point the last remaining crew member of the Loshad sent out his own distress call that also warned about the serial killer on the loose on the Toledo.
Sergie was found trying to drill a hole in the Loshad's hull when help arrived. He managed to kill another three people during the struggle to capture and transport him back to the inner solar system.
