Batman Gambit: Hector Conway tricks David Starr into going to Mars by arranging for him to inspect the Martian food while it's on the Moon’s customs office. By admitting to David that he also has people inspecting the Martian foods at the Martian customs office, before being shipped to the Moon, he ensures that David tries to outthink him by going to Mars instead. | |

Beneath the Earth | |

Beneath the Earth: Mr. Benson correctly predicts that the Martians have moved underground where they dug a vast network of underground tunnels to retain liquid water and atmosphere. He also claims that the Martians may have been poisoning the Earthmen's crops to get rid of the invasion. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence | |
| David Starr, Space Ranger / int_bd2812b5 | comment |
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: When David meets the native Martians, they explain that they’ve ascended into Energy Beings due to a deeper understanding of scientific principles than they have. They readily admit that humanity might be able to join them, and look forward to the idea, but they ascended over a million years ago, and humankind simply isn't ready yet. | |
