excited its properties which would in turn
cause localized temporal distortions. A
Trips to Weyland-Yutani's frontier weather
outpost 247 have all been canceled due to a
worsening political situation in the sector, war
might be imminent. A group of strangers with
different backgrounds and agendas find
themselves booking passage on the last cargo
ship willing to make the run.
The ship, the USCSS Pioneer is captained by
veteran space trucker Elizabeth Dawson and
its shuttle is owned and piloted by an ex-
military pilot named Nellie “Nels” Parker.
The passengers are:
Anthony Graves, a colonial Marshall
investigating a murder.
Dr. Gunther Loos, a physicist late for a meeting
with outpost scientist.
Ellie, a newly employed roughneck headed to
her first day on the job at the outpost.
Ken Watanabe director of new projects for
Weyland-Yutani.
Less than half a parsec from the outer veil lies
the planet LV-636. A frozen rock that is dark,
cold, and battered by hurricane force polar
winds. Everyone has been told that Outpost
247 was established for the purpose of
monitoring weather patterns on the planet.
Weather research is just a front however, the
Outpost was created to exploit a newly
discovered unclassified element.
The element displays properties that could
make it extremely useful in weapons
development. Dr. Frederik Larsen discovered
that exposing the element to intense lasers
2
temporal distortion weapon would be a crown
jewel in the Weyland-Yutani arsenal. Why
fight an enemy when you can simply send that
enemy to another dimension or perhaps 1000
years into the future?
Larsen’s maniacal and relentless drive led him
to take bigger and greater chances during
experiments but unfortunately a week before
players arrive, disaster struck. The cooling core
being used to dissipate heat started leaking
causing the lasers to overheat and arc in
different directions. Bolts of temporal
lightning struck the facility in all manner of
ways exhibiting all sorts of quantum related
effects. The bolts went through walls leaving
them untouched only to vaporize a person
standing on the other side or sending a
random room a millennia into the future and
instantly bringing it back completely aged.
Others standing nearby were stuck in an
endless time loop and are now forced to
wander the facility as temporal ghost. Workers
in pressure suits were blasted and while their
suits stayed intact, they themselves aged
hundreds of years instantly. Some workers
stuck in a quasi-state of temporal dissonance
went completely mad and turned violently on
themselves. A dark cold nightmare awaits the
travelers when they arrive.
Have the players introduce themselves to each
other after awakening from hyper sleep. At
that point Dawson tells them the outpost is
not responding, probably due to a problem
with their comms, she also warns Nels that it
looks like it will be a bumpy ride. She leaves it
up to the passengers to decide if they want to
go down and it is assumed, they all choose to
make the trip.
Before they leave Dawson sticks her head
inside the shuttle and informs Nels and the
passengers that anyone wishing to return has
12 hours to get down there and come back.
After that whoever is not on the return trip
will become a long-time resident of this facility
as she will not risk the ship waiting around for
anyone. She also says aloud to Nels that she
knows the shuttle has been acting up and to
call her if an emergency pops up and they
need pick up.
The GM may set these acts up as they see fit.
Act 1 Arrival
Act 2 Survival
Act 3 Escape
The descent is harrowing complete with
hurricane force winds buffeting the shuttle. A
loud bang followed by a torturous engine wail
signals the passengers that all is not well.
All players other than Nels increase their
stress +1. Nels does everything possible to
save the shuttle but to no avail. As she nears
the ground, she manages to momentarily
hover about 10 feet off the ground and
jettisons the side hatch and tells everyone to
“get the hell out now”(Nels at this point must
make a piloting check or suffer a stress
increase of +1 ) players must make a successful
mobility roll or get stuck in the snow and
suffer +1 stress along with a panic roll (Nels
will have to do the same getting out of the
crashed shuttle afterward). With a thunderous
3
explosion of snow and ice the shuttle buries
itself near the entrance of the outpost and will
no longer be functional in any way (including
comms). Players can die from exposure if they
stay outside too long.
Several rooms in this facility will look ancient
to the players which will not make any sense
since the facility is relatively new (it is a
consequence of the temporal discharge
accident), paint will be faded or chipped,
metal might be so rusted it crumbles to the
touch etc. The GM should choose which rooms
are affected this way unless otherwise noted
below. Security doors may be open or not at
GM’s discretion. There is an items section with
items the GM may add throughout the facility
where appropriate. Feel free to fill in any area
not discussed with whatever you feel would
be appropriate for this facility. The entrance
door to the facility is stuck halfway open at
start. The wind howls ominously and only the
emergency lights seem to be on.
An ancient looking desiccated corpse inside a
perfectly new pressure suit sits near a desk
and a monitoring station (show them the
cover picture add +1 stress). Next to the
corpse is a cup of coffee about halfway filled
and a half-eaten pastry (both look like they
were just put there). A freshly charged data
pad is on the desk with a map of the facility.
Weather monitoring equipment litters the
room and a small, bizarre creature in a
formaldehyde filled jar sits on a shelf. The jar
is labeled Fanged Mog. A notepad with
information is next to the jar (see Creatures).
When players near the mess hall they will hear
music coming from this room playing from a
jukebox next to a pool table. A large stain of
dried blood covers the table (choose a song
from the 70s!). If players shut the jukebox off
or choose another song it will signal and
inform some of the “damned” that fresh meat
has arrived (see creatures).
Some of the workers have been trapped in a
temporal time loop. They will appear suddenly
near or at a distance and will look like they are
going about their business until they fade
away or go through a wall or restart again
from where they came. They are somewhat
ghostly and translucent in their appearance.
They cannot be interacted with. Feel free to
use this throughout the facility. They increase
a player’s stress by +1.
Power breakers for locations that are out are
located here. Not all will work.
Players will hear what sounds like a baby
crying. A Fanged Horror lurks in this area and
its evolved radiated form has been brought
back from thousands of years in the future
(see creatures).
Armat M41A Pulse Rifle (Choose loads)

Data pad with information linking facility
roughneck Jason Gruber to a murder (see
player character Graves).
Gruber is now a temporal ghost wandering the
outpost and his name patch will be visible.
Players will find hanging mutilated corpses of
some of the unfortunate workers. This is the
handy work of the damned (see creatures).
Increase stress +1.
A successful Comtech roll on the computer
located here will reveal Larsen’s log detailing
information about the accident (feel free to
read players a variation of the previous info on
Outpost 247 labelled for GM only). This
information can be downloaded to a data card
if they so choose. A successful observation
roll might locate a vial containing the
unclassified element.
Here Players can make a Comtech roll to call
Dawson. She will come down and land on the
roof, but they must make it to the roof as soon
as possible, she is not waiting long. This
triggers Larsen (see Creatures) who will
approach from the Administration area.
The following could be placed throughout the
outpost at GM’s discretion:

Motion tracker
Flashlight
Access cards for doors
Credits (money)
Diary of worker concerned about Larsen and
experiments.
ID and access codes (see Character Ellie act 2

 FULL NAME: NELLIE “NELS” PARKER
JOB: SHUTTLE PILOT
AGE: 28
PERSONALITY: DIRECT
She is an ex-marine combat pilot who wanted to try her
hand at space trucking. She saved enough money to own
her own shuttle and now works with Dawson, shuttling
passengers down to their planetary destination. She feels
personally responsible for each passenger, an attitude
that has endeared her to Dawson over the years. There is
nothing she would not do for Dawson and there is
nothing Dawson would not do for her. That is why when
she was told by Dawson that she wanted her along on
this dangerous trip to LV-636 she did not even think
twice about it.

Never taking a bribe and drinking too much has set back
Graves. He has been assigned to a sleepy sector with not
much going on. He jumped at the chance for some
action when a man was murdered in a drunken fight at a
colonist bar. The suspect, Jason Gruber, works for
Weyland -Yutani at some out of the way outpost (which
is not on any map) and seemed to have been just passing
through when he committed the crime. It was not easy
tracking Gruber down but now it was time to pay him a
visit. Graves was stranded at a way station as trips shut
down due to the potential for war, so he did some
digging and found out there was one last ship going in
that direction.

Dr. Loos was incredibly surprised to hear from his old
rival Frederick Larsen. They were once best friends, but
over the years Larsen’s unmitigated narcissism drove
Loos away. Larsen is a brilliant physicist who had joined
Weyland -Yutani. When he explained that he needed his
help Loos was intrigued. The problem was that Loos now
worked for Lassale Bionational, a direct competitor of
both Larsen and Weyland -Yutani. After thinking it over
he decided to forge ahead and go on the trip anyway.
The journey would take him to a little-known outpost on
the edge of the outer veil. Halfway to the outpost he
found himself stranded in a backwater way station.
Finally, luck intervened, and he managed to get the last
seat on the last transport out.

On the notepad next to the jar you read the
following: A small aggressive indigenous
marsupial cat that lives in the underground
caverns of LV-636. They feed mostly on frost
snails and other small creatures. The cat has
razor like fangs, long whiskers, blubbery skin
to keep it warm and a sticky substance that
coats the skin. Initial test shows the
substance has hallucinogenic properties. They
are extremely agile and the apex predator of
the planet. While aggressive they pose no
threat to humans, mainly due to their small
size, 10 inches in length being the largest one
recorded so far. They communicate with a
strange high pitch cry.
The unfortunate workers who were struck
directly by temporal bolts and were not
instantly killed were launched into a state of
temporal dissonance that quickly drove them
mad. They attacked unaffected workers
instantly in an orgy of unsatiated rage. When
they finished the massacre, they began to self-
mutilate cutting off their noses, ears, gouging
eyes. They are in a hibernation stupor when
the players arrive.
10
The damned will come in all shapes and sizes
(and even uniforms) as they are the former
occupants of the outpost. Their health will
range from 1 to 3. They cannot be reasoned
with and will attack players on site. They might
be alone or in a pack. Some are slow, dragging
broken limbs, some move fast, some can only
hear and smell as their eyes have been gouged
out. Some use pipes or clubs or even knives as
weapons. The players should see plenty of
evidence of their previous handywork in the
form of blood splattered walls and hallways as
well as mutilated corpses. You can use them
however and whenever you like to endanger
the group or to dial up the tension. They do
not seem to attack each other.

The fanged Horror is the evolution that has
taken place over several millennia of the
once small Fanged Mog. It is the
consequence of the radiation left over long
after the base’s demise. It has grown to
about the size of a panther from earth. Due
to the accident it has been brought back
from thousands of years in the future. It is
faster and more dangerous, and its once
curious cry now sounds like a human baby in
distress. It has also evolved its camouflage
allowing it to blend in against any colored
background. Its blubbery skin glistens with a
sticky substance that seems to ooze out of
its pores.
Vicious, aggressive, it will stalk and then
attack the players once they get near.

Larsen was blasted directly by a temporal
bolt at point blank range but because of his
indomitable will or perhaps only plain luck
he was able to retain enough cognitive sense
to log exactly what occurred during the
accident. As chaos descended around him,
he had the presence of mind to put on an
M3 personnel armor suit as he retreated to
his office (where he eventually succumbed
to the madness). When players arrive in

screaming semi intelligible paranoid threats.
