7 The room has an automated security trap. Red lasers scan the room. Touching a laser
causes all doors to lock and oxygen to start venting from the room.
8 This room contains a locked door, sealed with a biometric scanner only staff can
unlock. Inside is a small lab with human/animal hybrid experimentation. 50% chance to
communicate wordlessly.
9 Nothing. Strange ambiance and the smell of vat grown creatures invade the senses.
10 Nothing at all, but the claustrophobic thoughts of the party.

a’s Hunt
This is an adventure for Mothership® and assumes you have the PLAYER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE.
The scenario is designed to work with any existing indoor maps. Tables are provided to
generate rooms, encounters, and reactions, creating new experiences with every play. The
consistency is in the hunt and The Prey.
THE PREY
The Prey is intelligent and capable. It has strong survival instincts, and is intelligent
enough to control the situation. Stalk the party, wait for an exploitable moment THEN
have it attack. At appropriate intervals from the start of the adventure roll on the
table below. This should largely be time based, but also roll if the party is indiscreet.
Visuals should be based on party anxieties.

THE PREY [C:75 Bite 3d10 and Claw 3d10 S:75 I:55 H:6(40)]
> Ambusher: If the Prey gets the jump on the party, whomever it attacks makes a Fear
save or take D10/2 stress.
> Like a shadow: Can depart conflict on a successful Speed test, vanishing and leaving
the room. Doing so causes all present to Sanity save or take 2 stress.

 A short adventure for
SILO-15 Mothership RPG
By Sigmacastell/Swampgirl
Layout by junkgolem

A research station orbiting a

forsaken icy rock in a backwater
system. Owned and operated
by Bicycle Day, unethical hippie
scientists. Communications
ceased two days ago and Garvey
the Rake, pit boss of the nearby
mining colony, wants to know
where his drugs are.

NPCS

» Elise: Lone chemist survivor.

Disconnected, debauched, emotional.
+ Hedonism
- Reality

» Vibe: dull orange emergency lighting.

Temperature a touch too warm. Interior
painted in reds and purples. A sussurating
murmur permeates the whole station,
getting louder the closer you get to the
Generator. Drifting strands of silky black
hair.
» Koko: Jailbroken corporate mascot
android. Resembles a bright yellow
cartoon fox. Happy, ignorant, glitchy.
+ Gardening
- Sad things

“whomp” noise resonating throughout the building.

THE ASTEROID/LANDING PAD
Once a bustling hive of activity, large flattened areas with anchor
cables for ships cover the surface of the asteroid. Many areas distant •
from the station are hollowed-out strip mines where fuel and water are
collected from within the asteroid itself. Due to an abundance of space
all landing pads are a short spacewalk to the station entrance.
• Pilots attempting to land in the strip mines make a Speed Check at
[-]. Failure results in 1d10 Stress.
• The mines hold water and a mining extractor. The equipment is still
running unattended and can have resources routed to the ship
through an Intellect Check. Failure wastes 1d5 gallons of water. •
• The entire structure is a large open-spaced warehouse. Large
cryovat tubes slowly grow people (Fear Save or 1d5 Stress) while
fleshy pods feed chemicals into still figures.
The storage room is at the back of the warehouse, behind a hidden
wall. Inside are 50 small cryovats the size of a small dog housing vat-
grown brains which act as biological storage for any of the data
taken from people in this facility. Viewing the brains adds 1d10 Stress
and a Fear Save (if failed make a Panic Check).

Within this facility are operating rooms, staff rooms, a morgue, grow

The Chop Shop is helmed by the Mysterious Clones. Each of them
share a facial scar, defined pecs and ornate synthetic arms.. They offer

Welcome to the Anodyne Construction family. Together we're
starting an exciting journey into the brave unknown. Thanks to
unprecedented advances in heat shielding technology, our vision
for an intra-solar resort will finally become reality. We've chosen the
yellow-orange, G-type star Avalon to mother our intellectual offspring.
With your help and enthusiasm the Solarium Luxury Resort and its
safe, sumptuous facilities will attract and satisfy countless patrons.
Are you ready to take the next step forward? We are.
WARDEN NOTES
» Alt setup: PCs are undercover labor organizers, investigators, or
saboteurs.
» One-shot setup: Workers on strike, corporate crackdown in
progress.
» Workers earn 500cr weekly.
» Management deals harshly with labor organization: scabs replace
strikers, mercenaries quell violence. No mercy.
» Begin with oppressive economic horror. Depending upon player
actions, develop play towards political intrigue (labor organization
+ cold war vs. management), violent resistance (dungeon crawl
vs. invading corporate marines), or disaster scenario (should the
heat shield fail).
» This scenario assumes a slow pace of play. Roll once for Shit
Jobs, Corporate Initiatives, and evidence of Resistance each
in-game week.
SITE LOCATIONS
» Solar Containment Shield
A thin, spherical lattice surrounding the entire construction site.
The only thing separating workers from Avalon's unfathomable
heat and mass. Costs cut in development result in constant
Sisyphean repairs and exposure to inevitably lethal doses of
radiation.
Hazard: Heat, radiation, and gravity leaks. Site obliterated if
leaks left unrepaired.
» Jump Gate
The only way in and out of the resort. Fits shuttle craft or small
cargo vessels. Closely guarded by security.
Hazard: Prone to malfunction. Occasionally intercepts unwanted
things from hyperspace.
» Security
Home to grim-faced corporate thugs and their toys. Spartan
barracks, armory, and surveillance room.
All potentially weaponized tools kept here behind bars, must be
signed out.
Laser Cutters, Nail Guns, Hand Welders, Rigging Guns, etc.
Hazard: Police.
» Resort Suites
Nearly abandoned construction site. Work delayed in favor of
amenities (pools, VR suites) to impress investors. Scattered with
leftover and forgotten tools.
Only a few model suites and apartments completed. Inhabited by
management.
If searched, find tools and a long-ago fired employee hiding out
among the construction.
Hazard: A deathtrap of rebar and loose wiring. Zero gravity.
» The Avalon Hippodrome
The workers live here, camped out among aisles and galleries.
They sleep on rows of foldout seats, drape themselves with
curtains and costumes for warmth.
Hazard: Corporate spies and cameras.
» The Lion's Den Restaurant and Bar
Entrance an open lion's mouth. Ostentatious gilded interior. Bar
tended by Lloyd, an eerie and formal Android available for service
24 hours a day. Lloyd does not discriminate.
Cigar smoking bosses and security officers a permanent fixture.
Workers not allowed inside unless invited by management,
usually precipitating a humiliating dressing down or firing.
Workers fear and loathe the place.
Hazard: Bosses.
» Zero-G Pools
Great blobs of water constantly agitated and separated by
machinery. Private, floating islands restricted by great chains.
Light swirls in mesmerizing patterns.
Hazard: Rogue waves, disorientation and drowning.
» Anodyne Amusement Park
Unfinished, child-oriented rides and corporate edutainment
stations. Miniature solar mining rig (scoops real plasma), Rocket
to Avalon (half-built roller coaster), deactivated Android mascots
frozen in exaggerated gestures.
Hazard: Rides suddenly activated, defective mascots.
» Bright Futures Shopping Promenade
Prefabricated luxury boutiques stocked with frivolous, expensive
merchandise. Occasionally raided by workers and browsed by
management.
Radiation shielding for the skylight strip along the promenade
never installed. Light blinding, exposure for longer than a few
minutes deadly.
Hazard: Radiation, shop security measures.
» Virtual Reality Suites
Spherical holographic full-sensory entertainment chambers.
Accommodates multiple users.
Adapts to any taste or request. Logs user history for optimized
future experiences. Used by everyone, including the bosses.
Hazard: Terrifying, corrupted simulations.
