Gaia All Aglow

[A 200-word micro-TRPG] Five billion years in the future, the Sun is becoming a red giant. Mercury and Venus have been consumed. Earth is next, although it has long been devoid of life. As representatives of posthumanity, you have been dispatched to Mars—the only inner planet that will remain. There you will observe and commemorate the demise of our ancestral homeworld.
