Protocols in Memories of Mars are missions/quests that will make you discover the game from A to Z. You will discover every aspects of the game: building, crafting, locations (biospheres, outposts, platforms, secret lab, PvP zone...), every enemies (from tiny spiders to the huge Boss), lore (Intelligence fragments for launching the capsule to Earth), etc. This is why you should do them as soon as possible.
There are 39 protocols divided in 7 categories:
- Wake-Up Call (8 protocols)
- Cross-Country (7 protocols)
- Central Intelligence (5 protocols)
- Peaks of Technology (6 protocols)
- Blazing the Trail (7 protocols)
- Versus the World (5 protocols)
- Memories of Mars (1 protocol) This one is placed first but is rather for end game
When you finish a category of protocols, you will receive an audio Neural Transmission with advice and lore.
Here is the detailed list :

Greetings, Young One. I am... was... Stephan Fall, Chief Engineer of the Unified Security Corp. Listen, Young One, something strange is going on here on Mars...
