But, of course, capitalists stand in the way of her socialistic plans. Other people want to use Mars's untouched resources. Oskar Schaefer fits the description of your average overweight, overly greedy capitalist. He wants to use Mars as a base for mining expeditions. Carina is opposed to this, as she believes it could possibly interfere with her efforts to keep members of her colony separate from the original establishment, called Colony One, of regular humans who are primarily workers for Oskar's corporation.
Conflict is inevitable.
Members of Newton are always suspicious of members of Colony One, and vice versa. After suspecting that some Newton tried to sabotage his company's operation, Oskar is able to bring in troops that he claims are necessary for protection. These troops eventually put members of Newton into concentration camps, committing atrocities equivalent to those during the Holocaust. Carina is even placed under arrest. Newhumans are persecuted in the way members of any minority group have been persecuted in history.
