It was quite clear that Vagabond Lee was the least trusted in the group, and thus it was very clear that @李建澔2 was the first to be eliminated.
Of course, it became a whole new problem: how to execute someone on Mars, when none of the crew had any lethal weapon? Even death by hanging would not work, since Martian gravity is not strong enough to be lethal from any height (they tried it indeed). How did nobody think of bringing a weapon?
Thus the only option left, was to let him outside the base without an oxygen suit, and just hope that it would actually be harmful for aliens. They secured Vagabond with rope, to make sure he couldn’t escape, and pushed him outside.
It was absolutely freezing already, and Vagabond couldn’t hold his breath for long. He thought back at his short life, his last wish was to play one last game of Scuffle Stars before he lost consciousness.
The crew watched how Vagabond collapsed, and then turned away. Everybody was shocked, since it really appeared that they had killed another human, and not one of the aliens. They went back inside and with a heavy heart turned to their sleeping pods

It was warm and toasty when @李建澔2 regained consciousness. The surface below felt nothing like the freezing red rocks of Mars, but were soft as velvet. When Vagabond looked up, he found himself on a large sofa, in a large metal room, with no windows and no doors. Commander @Vsotvep was studying some holographic papers on the other side of the sofa.
