Campus Safari

Introduction

Campus Safari is set in the first years of the 21st century(2000-2002), which follows after the Satin and Silk storyline. In this arc Cyantians have set up a colony and academy on Mars. The headmaster of Mars Academy is Darius.

Campus Safari is a sci-fi fantasy which primarily concerns anthromorphic characters, that is, sentient animals with human characteristics. The time frame is current day and they're attempting in a very messed up manner, to make contact with humanity. Nevermind that they have constantly screwed up in their efforts and everything they do looks like an act of agression; such as rescuing human friends from the ultra-isolationist AMIB, and taking over the planets of Mars and Venus to terraform them into livable planets WITHOUT the Terrans knowing anything about it, and then establishing a base/Academy on Mars, which has been seen by Terran satellites surveying Mars. The Terran governments are naturally keeping all of this secret, frequently editing pictures from Mars to remove any evidence of extra-terrestrial activity.

The story mainly concerns the faculty of the Mars Academy and how they deal with daily life and loves... or rather, try to Escape from them (in some cases).

It has currently merged with Cesillee's Diary and is more comedic, although the events may no longer be as official.

The setting is at the Mars Academy, where Cyantians and Terrans mix, mingle, and attempt to get an education in Cyantian Technology appropriate for export to Terra. Located on Mars, the Campus itself in mostly below ground for Meteorite protection...at least until there is enough atmosphere generated to burn them up before they strike the surface. There are also plans underway to create a strong magnetic field around Mars to deflect solar flares away from the planet protecting it the same way that Earth (Terra) is protected. Until both goals are met, the Academy will resemble a Bunker complex more than a College (further making it seem like a Military, rather than a Scholastic complex).

It is also a Major trans-shipment point for secret shipments of Terran freight, such as Cd's, canned and frozen food, Video games, Fabrics, and the occasional Terran Student, from Earth to either Mars or Cyantia. There is a small but well frequented shopping mall at the Academy with products from both worlds available for sale. While the idea was to create a market for goods from both worlds, until Contact is made; trade is minimal and more like smuggling than actual trade. Still, they manage to import enough material for certain Earth brands to have become recognized both on Mars and Cyantia.
