MOthership

The company discovered signs of biochemistry Samsa 6, establish a Greta Base and Heron terraforming station using a skeleton crew. They have been there for a year and have discovered a species of arthropods and killed them all. 9 Months ago, the colonists captured something for experimentation and study. Six months ago the base lost all communication. 3 months ago we were hired to check out the Greta base. Six weeks ago we entered the Samsa VI system, and we were not getting any response from the Greta station. 

We are woken up from cryosleep. We dock with an executive transfer ship called the Metamorphosis. We meet our liason called Maas. Short guy, pencil moustache, thick eyebrows, sour expression. He hands us stimpacks. Zeno, Xenobiologist who specialises in extraplanetary exploration, biological, botanical, ecological, and Im here to collect some data and get it back to the terraforming department. Big glasses, short, set of microscope lenses on heads. Jumpsuit that says Fubar. 

John and I fix stuff. Nondescript. 

 Maas points towards Greta base. Our mission is to rendezvous with second lieutenant Kaplan, the marine commander of the colony. We have to evacuate Dr Edem, the mission specialist and colony's synthetic science officer, Hinton. 

Jon and Lee

A pilot and a copilot named Renfield. We enter into the atmosphere of Samsa VI, we hear alarms blaring. Its an old dropship. The whole thing is vibrating. There is a severe tropical storm cloud that we are breaking through. We land on a muddy pad, with the blurred silhouette of the Greta base in the distance through the thick sheet of rain. We come to a large metal door, rusty. We hack through the door. There is a muddy corridor. 

Jon and Lee get a pulse rifle magazine each. We come across a ransacked mess hall, which is a mess. There are claw marks everywhere. We a woman's head ripped from her body. We see a makeshift barricade against a door. On the right is a door that goes to the pantry, there is an upturned table with cakes splattered everywhere. The body has paper cut types of marks. 

I take Xavier's Dog Tag

I get two frag grenades, a butterfly knife, a porno mag, and smokes
