The Crash-Site The Crater
• Life support. Requires power from reactors. 4 hours of oxygen left. • 100m diameter
• Nuclear Reactors: One cannot be repaired. The other has light • Skeleton in space suit with Plastic Explosives but no detonator
damage, only the Plasma Injector needs to be replaced. • Large alien structure built into the cliff
• Battery. Needs to be charged to jump-start the reactor. • Sensors indicate gravity anomaly originating within structure
• Hull Breaches. Take time to fix. Repair or Engineer throw. • Hundreds of strange stone heads facing structure
Success. 15 minutes. Failure. 45 minutes.
• Gravitational anomaly. Must be disabled to take off.

• 10 meters deep, goes on for miles in either direction • Main Bridge with Computer terminal
• Broken bridge with pylons on other side ◦ Large spinning turbine, Gravitic Generator powered by Crystal
• Small red light at the bottom ◦ Power cable, Recharge Battery
• Strange stone head • Right Bridge with Computer terminal
◦ Cylinders with life forms
◦ Cylinder with human inside Moranis’ Log
The UNS Armstrong ◦ Strange stone head
• Bridge
◦ Skeleton
◦ Empty ship’s locker
• Engineering section (LOCKED)
◦ Old, non-functional reactor with Plasma Injector
◦ Skeleton in space suit, Friedrich’s Log
The Camp

DEADROCK
You awaken from cryosleep aboard your starship, the “Morningstar”.
Immediately you can tell that something has gone terribly wrong. The alarms
are blaring and red lights are flashing. As you enter the cockpit you see that
the ship is out of control and is about to crash on an alien planet. You strap
yourselves in and prepare for impact. Make an Average difficulty Pilot throw.
Success. No damage to crew. Failure. Everyone takes 2D damage.
In either case. You crash, the lights go out and you lose consciousness.
The Crash
As you come to your senses, you hear the hiss of air being sucked outside.
The computer displays a damage report. The computer also detects what
appears to be debris from another ship some distance away.
Computer report on planet Beta Cygni II
• Earth-like gravity (1.1g)
• Thin carbon dioxide atmosphere (like Mars)
• Mainly desert, some rocky areas, almost no water.
