A Note to the
Warden
Parenthetical text indicates information
currently only known to you potentially
requiring investigation or skill checks to
uncover.
Briefing
The Angelus Fabrica Station orbiting
the mining world Carbex issued an
automated distress signal after
deploying every escape pod. 4 days
of communication attempts without
response met the persistent distress
signal. A nearby law enforcement
agency dispatched you to investigate
and, if possible, determine the
complete evacuation’s rationale.
Rescue and assist, by any means
necessary any remaining crew
members. Since the police were unable
to respond (and are low-key tired of
reading the distress signal) they are
offering 50kcr for the investigation
and report and, importantly, turning
off the signal. (After reporting the
disaster, they offer 10kcr for every
rescued survivor).
Background
Carbex is smaller than Earth and was
once nearly completely covered in
arboreal plants. Millennia ago, a
massive �re spread across the planet,
smoke blocked sunlight killing off any
remaining plant life. There’s evidence
of large freshwater pools on the
surface but none have been found
outside of the ice caps.
The �re’s release of carbon dioxide
permanently altered the atmosphere,
making it unbreathable. Despite its
atmosphere, heat and pressure are not
concerns when traversing Carbex’s
surface, only breathing apparatus are
required.
Carbex was discovered somewhat
recently and terraforming is hard,
expensive and rarely deployed on
ostensibly barren planets. Currently,
the only settlements support the mining
operations excavating and exporting
charcoal.
The Angelus Fabrica is a station in
Carbex’s low orbit, primarily serving
as a re�nery, using various compounds
to make activated carbon usable as a
gunpowder ingredient, material
puri�cation, medical applications and
gas storage among others.
(The Hestia IV is a freighter with
Sineto Chem Solutions. Besides trucking
for Sineto, it also serves as a
personnel transport moving between
facilities or those looking to stop off at
one of the Hestia IV’s destinations. Its
facilities are surprisingly nice for a
transport ship, especially given
expectations of a corporate vessel.)
(The Sineto Chem Solutions Facility is
about the size of a small city and
hundreds of thousands of employees
reside there.)
Synopsis
When the station activated a
mysterious natural cave’s charcoal, it
also released something else which
spread throughout the station mutating
the crew and leaving them ravenous.
These new life forms are driven to
ingest carbon—by breathing or
eating. They prefer plants but
consumed all the station’s accessible
plant matter.

Timeline
▪ Carbex Miners break into a cave,
mine its charcoal and are
in�uenced by the Coalescence.
▪ This charcoal is delivered to
Angelus Fabrica Station. Several
hitch a ride on the freighter and
stay at the station, which is not
unusual.
▪ The Hestia IV docks at Angelus
Fabrica delivering chemicals,
taking some r&r and loading up
with activated carbon. Some
Possessed Miners kill some Sineto
employees, hiding their bodies in
the Pool Storage closet and killing
Barry the Android after he
discovers them.
▪ The cave’s charcoal is processed
and parasites therein burst out,
disintegrating 10 workers in the
Forge (The Coal Shades.)
▪ The Shades infect several
crewmembers in the nearby Bunks
and Security Area, most succumb
to the sickness within half an hour,
becoming Activated.
▪ The Activated storm the remaining
station, eating carbon and killing
their former crew. Badon, able to
do little, is quickly overwhelmed
and seals themself in Command.
▪ Some crew escape via drop pods
near Command, setting off the
station’s alarms.
▪ Following the Warehouse
massacre, some Sineto employees
(and some Possessed Miners)
board the Hestia IV and take off
without uncoupling from Angelus
Fabrica, tearing the space
station’s outer airlock off.
▪ Some Possessed Miners, herding
Activated and Shades take the
escape pods near the Bunks.
▪ 4 days pass
▪ The players and their ship arrive
and dock.

How to “Win”
The Burning of
Carbex
▪ Report the Angelus Fabrica’s
status, deactivate the distress
signal, collect thine fat stacks and
leave this nonsense to the
authorities.
▪ Stop the Coalescence from
spreading and be able to sleep
at night knowing you left a
malevolent alien corruption to
prey on the next greedy mining
company to go to Sediment Hill.
▪ Completely destroy the parasites
(or believe that you completely
destroyed the parasites.)
▪ Capture all the survivors, including
those the parasite twisted and
mutated, get paid and then,
presumably, ignore that you made
a bad situation much worse,
doomed these creatures to horri�c
scienti�c experiments and, �nally,
live with the fact that this will
likely be used as a weapon in the
near future.
If you do
nothing
The Angelus Fabrica
The Possessed Miner on the Command
Deck prevents the station’s required
fuel burn and, 24 hours after PCs
arrive, the station falls out of orbit,
burning up in Carbex’s atmosphere
and destroying everything aboard.
Hestia IV
The Possessed Miners infect or kill all
crewmembers and crash the ship at the
Sineto Chem Solutions Facility and a
smaller version of the Coalescence
leads the Miners and Activated to
begin attacking the facility.
Carbex
The Coalescence grows and Possessed
Miners and Activated spread across
the planet. The Coalescence sends
Possessed Miners and Activated off in
every direction in any spacecraft it
can secure. Police may eventually
discover the scourge’s source and
blockade the planet but not before
dozens of spacecraft leave.
Sineto Chem Solutions
Facility
If the Hestia IV makes it to the Sineto
Chem Solutions Facility, the staff will
be mostly concerned about the crash
and �re and preventing a bad
situation from getting much worse—
what with all the chemicals. This allows
Possessed Miners to ambush the �rst
responders, building a formidable
force of Activated and Silver�sh
Hybrids. They take advantage of the
chaos, spreading The Creeping
Perforation and killing any who get in
their way.
Within a few weeks the station is
completely overtaken, its denizens
either in�uenced by the Coalescence
or dead. This has many long-standing
consequences:
The largest employer and provider of
the basic chemicals needed for life in
space in the sector goes of�ine.
Retaking and repairing the station
would take nearly a year, forcing
sector residents to pay double to
import goods from other parts of the
galaxy in the meantime. If blockaded,
the Coalescence forces could last 5
years without starving with the
station’s supplies and materials.
The Coalescence now has an army
numbering in the hundred-thousands
with access to dozens if not hundreds
of spaceships to spread. Not including
any unwitting ships who dock without
hearing the news.

Approaching
the Angelus
Fabrica
There are only two docking ports and
one has half the airlock torn off as
jagged pieces of metal jut from where
it previously was. (A ship took off
without detaching.) Docking requires
no check as it is a (mostly) automated
process.

Two ports previously held the escape

pods, which you could attempt to dock
at but they are not designed to do
this. One connects to the Bunks (Roll
with (-) without Piloting)

The other connects to Corridor 9

leading to the Command Quarters
and Security Area. Maintenance 3 is
nearby, so you’ll have to avoid that.
(Attempt Requires Piloting at (-). If
failed, you crash into Maintenance 3,
separating it from the station and
Badon is spaced and burns up in the
atmosphere.

5
Docks & Staging Area
If docking at the intact port, you
read this airlock is still functioning
and this station segment is at least
habitable.
The Docks themselves are a huge
mess, black dust is smeared over
almost every surface. Near the
broken docking port is a skeleton
whose bones seem gnawed on.
There is no �esh, but a torn badge
reads “Solutions”. There is also a
signi�cant amount of dried blood
trailing off further down the Docks.
The blood and black powder
(charcoal) are smeared strangely.
(The Activated licked them.)
Looking around, there are strewn
about a dozen empty plastic
pallets (It’s dif�cult to see but the
pallets have bite marks). There are
two 3m tall, bright orange exosuits
�tted with forklift arms for moving
pallets:
▪ One (Exosuit 1) has an empty
pallet hanging half off its forks
and is functional but missing a
key.
▪ The other (Exosuit 2) is in some
sort of repair bay, an arm is
disconnected and requires
hydraulic system repairs to
function.
▪ Exosuit 2 Key in the ignition,
not compatible with the other
machine.
▪ If turned on before repairs,
any within 2m of it (and not
in the cockpit) are sprayed
with hot hydraulic �uid (2d10
damage and 1 Stress.)
6
The Repair Bay also contains large
hook attachments for the exosuits.
(Used moving barrels which could be
attached.) There are two large
battery chargers (functional) whose
connectors match up to the exosuits. In
a white plastic box in each exosuit
cockpit, is a Personal Breathing
Device, a plastic mask held to your
face attached to a small oxygen tank
(30 minutes of air).
Exosuits
The bright orange Exosuits have a
yellow rotating light which lights and
spins when the ignition is activated.
They can operate continuously for 6
hours, recharging after 2 hours at the
battery charger. The cockpit has
suf�cient room for one—two if you
squeeze. When sitting inside, the
cockpit’s door is on the left. The
cockpit contains the machine’s controls
(easy to use) and a latch labeled “In
case of space” which makes the
cockpit airtight, pulling it again reverts
the seal. An Exosuit is really loud with
its hydraulics and metallic stomping.
Combat Abilities
Rotate (Forks Only): You can swivel
the arms in a complete circle. All in a
2m radius must make a Body save vs.
30% + Heavy Machinery. (2d10
damage)
Grapple (Hooks Only): The hooks
slowly close on your target. When
your next turn starts, a humanoid
target within is grappled and cannot
make melee attacks. They can break
free on their turn with a Strength
check at (-)
Armor - 150%
There is a supervisor’s of�ce on the
Docks’ far wall with a locked door and
a large acrylic window, covered with
black powdery smears. Breaking the
glass or other violent entry attracts the
(# of Players) Activated from
Corridor 2. The of�ce is in perfect
order, save numerous nutrient bar
wrappers and empty water bottles
underneath the metal desk. The
underside of this otherwise gray metal
desk is painted with an elaborately
colorful �oral pattern. Atop the desk is
a (password protected) computer,
searching the desk drawer turns up a
half sticky note reading
“b1@ck1un6” (the password), and a
can of red spray paint.
The computer’s desktop is sparse with
only an email icon and a .txt �le
"SWOL". The emails are to a “Dash,”
apparently the supervisor. The most
recent email is from Command@...
sent less than a day cycle ago.
“Dash,
If you’re still out there, make your way
by the maintenance tunnel to the
Command deck. We have supplies
and can keep you safe. There should
be a spare key in the Chemical
Warehouse hanging on a hook. We
will not let you in if you don’t come via
the tunnel. MAKE SURE YOU’RE NOT
FOLLOWED!!!”
The other emails are unremarkable:
shipping manifests of Carbex’s mined
charcoal and Sineto Chem Solutions’
chemicals, a major chemical company
in the sector. The most recent ship,
besides your own, was a Sineto Chem
Solutions freighter: Hestia IV, that
arrived 6 days ago.
The .txt document is ASCII art of a
shirtless muscular man �exing. (Depicts
Acting Security Chief, Badon.)
There is also a (locked) �ling cabinet
whose key is broken off inside the
lock. Inside the top drawer are
numerous personnel �les (15, including
Dash), covering a Revolver full of
ammo. In the bottom drawer is a tin of
gourmet crackers (50cr).
Personnel �les
If the party is compelled to try
matching names and faces with the
�les, 5 are dead in the Warehouse,
Dash is in Quad 4 of the Bunks, 1
(Joseph) is currently experiencing
extreme blood loss up in the Command
Quarters, the other 8 are nowhere to
be found on the Angelus Fabrica
(Activated or survivors who left in
escape pods.)
There is a First Aid Kit hanging from a
Magnetic Wall Hook. (Can stick to a
metallic surface and support up to 25
kgs)
To your left from the airlock is a tunnel
marked Corridor 1 leading to
Hazardous Materials Storage. The
doorway has a rollup plastic door
which automatically opens on
approach.
To the right from the airlock is an
utterly dark tunnel marked Corridor 2,
leading to the Warehouse.
7
Corridor 1 (C1)
The tunnel from the Docks continues
and is well lit, clean, and empty. There
is another plastic roll-up door at the
tunnel’s end which does not open
automatically with about a dozen
bullet holes punched through it (Shot
from the other side.) Looking through
the holes, you can observe an
Activated standing stock still, facing
the other direction. The door is opened
by reattaching the motion sensor to the
electric motor or otherwise activating
the motor. This grants Surprise on the
Activated and (+) on initiative, there
are another (# of Players) Activated
in this room, one wearing a damaged
Hazard Suit.)
The door can also be easily cut or
ripped open given bullet holes. The
Activated notices this if PCs weren’t
already noticed. An Activated has
Exosuit 1 Key on them.
Corridor 2 (C2)
Dark with (# of Players) Activated
within if they haven’t already
attacked. The light bulbs are broken.
On the �oor is a loot table item.
Hazardous Materials Storage
The Hazardous Materials Storage
walls and �oor are plastic-coated.
Three rows of plastic shelving contain
opaque plastic barrels (strong bases)
for making activated charcoal. Most
contain Sodium Hydroxide—
commonly known as caustic soda or
lye—a strong base where short
exposure can cause serious immediate
or moderate permanent injuries. If any
are broken or punctured, Lye spills out
affecting all within 3m—10m with an
explosion. Anyone in contact with Lye
gains 2 Stress as it is extremely
irritating then makes a Body save or
takes 2d10 damage. On a critical
failure, additionally, take -15% Body
save—removed with a Minor
Improvement from leveling up. Hazmat
and Vaccsuits protect against
exposure. Note: Lye corrodes metal.
8
There is also an airtight, thick plastic
door sealed shelving unit with stickers
like “Danger: Do not expose to air or
water.” and melting Skull and
Crossbones which contains Caesium
Hydroxide. Exposure deals 4d10
damage and triggers a Body Save or
your Body save and Combat skill are -
10%. Caesium Hydroxide produces
ample heat if exposed to water and,
if exposed to oxygen, explodes (10m
radius, all within take 6d10 damage
and make their Body save with (-).
There are 3 lockers, 2 open (roll loot
table) and 1 locked (Intact Hazmat
Suit.)
On the wall is a red button with a sign
below reading “In case of chemical
spill. DO NOT…” before breaking off.
This button is clearly connected to
sprinklers overhead. If pressed, gates
drop over the exits and Maintenance
1’s door, if open, closes and seals. The
sprinklers �ll the room up to the ankles
with water which is then sucked away
and released into space. If bases
were spilled and someone is in contact
with the water, Body Save or suffer
mild chemical burns (1d10.) This
process takes about 2 minutes.
There is a Chemical Information binder
with all of the pages ripped out (and
eaten.)
At the back of one of the aisles is
another chewed-on skeleton with an
(ammo-less) SMG.
A metal sliding door seals the room’s
back. Its large circular key-port that
requires a Maintenance Key or can
be “picked” at great dif�culty (-) or
simply breached with appropriate
tool(s).
Corridor 3
This corridor has rollup plastic doors
and clear forklift and exosuit tracks.
Signs point to the Mag-Lift and the
Warehouse.
Warehouse
Approaching, there is a scene of
absolute carnage. Blood and bodies
everywhere, 24 total of which 20 are
apparently station workers alongside
4 Activated. No corpse appears to
have been eaten at all (The Activated
are eating the more carbon-rich
charcoal.) Most were apparently
beaten to death but one worker’s
body is covered in burns and holding
a Cigarette Lighter. (Was destroyed
by a Coal Shade he killed.) One dead
Activated is impaled against the wall
by a broken forklift.
The Warehouse stores charcoal and
other necessary supplies that keep the
station running (ex. food and water).
The charcoal pallets were clearly
broken into and eaten from. The other
supplies are pretty picked over but
there are d10 pallets of each of the
following:
▪ Water
▪ Food
▪ Toiletries
▪ Oxygen Tanks
There are also the following pallets:
▪ Raw Charcoal (x40) 300cr per
pallet.
▪ Activated Carbon (x20) (Caustic
Soda treated) 800cr per pallet.
▪ Used for �ltration, gas
storage, gunpowder and
emergency poison treatment.
▪ Nanoparticulate Activated Carbon
(x4) (Caesium Hydroxide treated)
3200cr per pallet.
▪ Very valuable, used to store
almost any gas. Helps clear
toxins and infections, in
extreme cases may even help
someone experiencing kidney
or liver failure until they
receive proper medical
treatment.
At the back is a large airlock door
labeled “Mag Shuttle Loading Bay” in
large letters with several warning signs
reading: “Passengers must remove and
secure metal objects and equipment
from their persons before launch” and,
below, in red marker “Androids
advised to utilize provided seatbelts”
“Do not load processing chemicals with
ANY other cargo” “Do not enter the
magnetic �eld if you are not in the
shuttle, doing so could result in serious
injury or death.”
Looking out the window, you can see
the Mag Shuttle is magnetically
suspended exactly between this
airlock and the Re�nery’s airlock
opposite it. The shuttle’s control panel
is unseated from the wall but basic
electronics knowledge can reconnect it.
Once reconnected, the screen reads
“Emergency Stop Engaged.” Pressing
the “Call” button brings the Mag
Shuttle here, “Send” dispatches it to
the Re�nery airlock. The airlocks
operate automatically once the Mag
Shuttle reattaches. The Mag Shuttle
traverses the distance between
airlocks in 10 seconds and moves at
the round’s end. If anyone is outside of
the station and in the Mag Shuttle
Field when Send/Call is pressed, they
must make a Body save—Androids at
[-]—or die as all their blood’s iron or
all their body’s circuitry is suddenly
ejected, which will happen before the
shuttle strikes them (2d10 damage). If
the magnets are disabled, the Mag
Shuttle falls, burning up in Carbex’s
atmosphere.
Maintenance 1
The Security Area door is currently
open, so its Activated can travel down
this tunnel.
About halfway down is a dried blood
spatter.
(# of Players) Activated in security
uniforms mill around the tunnel’s end
near the Security Area. (# of Players
+ 2) Activated within respond to loud
noises.

Mag-Shuttle
When opening the Mag Shuttle doors
it reeks like death. Inside is a dead
man with 2 pallets (food and water).
The canned water is largely dinged
and dented but none are open. If
medically examined, cause of death is
dehydration. (Loot table if searched)
The shuttle has room for two rows of 6
pallets, ~10m x 5m. On the sides are
14 seats with four-point seatbelts and
two storage chests with straps and
attachments for securing metal items.
There are “Send” and “Emergency
Stop” buttons within reach.
Any unsecured metal items or Androids
�y in the direction the Mag Shuttle
moves. Others make an Armor save or
take d10 damage. Androids make a
combat roll against a random target
dealing d10 damage to the target
and itself. If an Android doesn’t collide
with anything they take d10 damage
colliding with the shuttle wall. Any
cyberware augmentations temporarily
stop working for d10 rounds after the
shuttle moves.
Public Baths
Tiled �oors and walls obscured by
steam. In the center is a rectangular
pool containing seats and benches.
There are small scraps of white cloth
scattered on the tile (cotton, from
devoured bath towels.)
Walking to the water’s edge (only if it
is quite steamy), six bodies are visible
on the bath’s bottom—including one in
a Vaccsuit and several oxygen tanks
(8 spent, 3 full). The Vaccsuit wearer
pops up and shoots the nearest person
with a Rigging Gun, pulling them to
the pool’s bottom. Bullets are
ineffective going into water. Hana, the
Vaccsuited crew member, assumes you
are Activated. You can try reasoning
with her (Activated can’t talk but she
remains suspicious), using weapons or
showing you bleed red leads her to
see reason and she apologizes for
attempting to (or actually) maiming/
killing you or your friends.

Corridor 4
There is a distinct smell of water and
chlorine ahead. Near the Public Baths’
door are 20 small lockers, 2d10 are
open. Most contain Standard Crew
Attire—although some uniforms are
different. One locker is stuffed with
four pairs of the same brown overalls
with Android �uid (equivalent to
blood) on one. There are also Sineto
Chem Solutions uniforms and
accompanying badges, some
belonging to crewmembers of Hestia
IV. Roll up to # of players on the loot
table.

10
Hana “Harpoon”
Maintenance Crew C: 45 Rigging Gun,
I: 30%, H: 2(40)
Wants: To get out unharmed, future
employment
Hana has always felt at home in ships
and stations’ crawl spaces, working
crews since she was 12. Hana prefers to
use her Rigging Gun as a tether on
spacewalks. She hasn’t spaced herself
yet. Hana has luminescent orange hair
cyberware, which she can change the
color and brightness of, useful in
cramped, dark spaces. She also has a
5cm hole in her left hand where she
installed a rubber o-ring which she loves
driving rivets through to prank new
crewmates.
Skills: Zero-G and Jury Rigging.
Hana explains she has been picking
off “those crazy things” as they won’t
willingly enter the water. (This isn’t
exactly true, they just couldn’t detect
her underwater and, since water
contains no carbon, had no reason to
enter.) She’ll also remarks they �ght
hard until underwater. She was
working in a maintenance tunnel when
the escape pods launching triggered
the station alarms. She saw several
former coworkers attacking and killing
people and �ed. As they were about
to catch her she hid in the bath. When
the area cleared she grabbed a
Vaccsuit and oxygen bottles from the
Warehouse and has been there since,
picking off anything wandering by.
She hasn’t eaten for 4 days and
requests food, if none is shared, she
heads to the Warehouse and grabs
some. If left alone, she waits at the
Docks or boards your ship.
Hana also has a Maintenance Key—
a steel disk with embossed edges on
one side.
Searching the pool corpses: roll once
on the loot table plus a Pool Keycard.
A (locked) maintenance closet
requiring a Pool Keycard contains four
corpses, three in swimwear and one in
a white polo-shirt and shorts. Those in
swimwear have clear �nger-shaped
neck bruises, from fatal strangulation.
(They’ve been deceased for �ve days)
The white-shirted Android has a hole
in its head and electronics are visible
within (a stab wound, not a gunshot.)
The corpses have nothing but any
Angelus Fabrica crewmember
recognizes the android, Barry, one of
the bath staff. No one recognizes the
other three and they don’t match any
Angelus Fabrica personnel �les.
Beneath the corpses is a Sineto Chem
Solutions badge bearing one of the
deceased’s face. The closet also
contains Chlorine Tablets (Can purify
water for drinking if properly diluted),
Rebreather, and a Collapsible
Stretcher.
The baths are still functioning. If
corpses are removed, resting here
gives (+) on the Sanity save to recover
stress once daily.
There are 5, undisturbed single-
occupancy changing stalls on the other
side (pull-to-open doors, The
Activated aren’t with it enough to
solve them.) In each is clean bathwear
in various sizes and towels and a sign
reading” “If no clean bathwear is
available in your size, please inform
the bath staff.”
One contains a duffel bag with 5
magazines of random ammo and a
loaded Flare Gun. In another, an
Android �uid dripping pickaxe head is
lodged beneath a bench.
11
Corridor 5 (C5)
Mostly dark, save light from the
Tavern entrance. There’s audible calm
piano music from inside. Across from
the tavern is a door requiring a
Maintenance Key leading to
Maintenance 2 and Maintenance
Of�ce & Storage.
T. Tavern
A plastic bar with faux wood grain. A
2m tall DrinkBot, clearly labeled on
its chassis, rolls around behind the bar.
A Coal Shade attacks any (non-
infected) human entering. Otherwise,
remaining in place. There is also a
jukebox and three stainless steel
billiards tables.
Approaching the bar: DrinkBot rolls
over and says “Welcome” and,
scanning the face, says in a distinctly
robotic voice “Guest” (or known crew
member) before continuing “what I can
I get for you today?” The bar serves a
wide variety of beverages and food.
DrinkBot
Automated Bartender Combat: 40
Knife d10, hammer 2d10, Instinct: 40,
H: 2(50)
Drinkbot is a 2m tall stainless steel
vaguely humanoid robot with a
cylindrical head and torso and rotating
tracks. Drinkbot has four spindly arms,
two claws for grasping, a knife for
slicing and a small hammer for crushing
and muddling. It is programmed to
provide libations in an ef�cient and
controlled manner. You can tell Drinkbot
your problems and it listens, mostly
making af�rmative or negative noises,
likely suggesting a quali�ed counselor.
DrinkBot refuses to serve a single
patron multiple drinks at once and
stops selling to those giving others
drinks.
12
DrinkBot has very speci�c protocols:
▪ Leaving with a glass: All glasses
have nanochips alerting DrinkBot
if someone attempts to cross the
threshold with them and contacts
Security remotely without
intervening.
▪ If someone goes behind the bar
and touches merchandise, it calls
security and attempts to restrain
the thief.
▪ It notices someone attempting to
damage or alter its:
▪ Hardware: Attacks with lethal
force and contact security
▪ Software: Contacts security, shuts
down and reboots in 1 minute
DrinkBot is made to serve and, if
queried, pretty much only reports
there were no security incidents in the
last four days. It will report three
crewmembers as possibly missing, as
they have not been scanned in �ve
days (those dead in Pool
Maintenance.)
DrinkBot itself is a valuable piece of
tech and, with the nano-chipped bar
glasses, could fetch 7kcr to the right
buyer (probably someone looking to
eliminate a bar’s labor costs.) This can
easily be negotiated higher. DrinkBot
won’t leave the Tavern but can be
remotely shut down in the
Maintenance Of�ce or Security Area.
You can also scrap it for the following
parts (assuming they aren’t damaged):
50 kgs. Stainless Steel, Knife, Tiny
Hammer, Claw Assembly (x2), Treads,
Robot Brain (Drinkbot AI), Facial
Scanner.
There is a sizeable variety and
quantity of alcoholic beverages
behind the bar, including some notably
rare libations (If you have the
knowledge to recognize them):
• Green Tequila (Not actually
green in color but its unknown
provenance make it much sought
after by collectors and
connoisseurs.) -1700cr, a collector
may be willing to pay with goods
or services up to 17kcr for this
bottle.

• Champagne, actually from Earth

(Earth-made goods are rare out
in the rim and luxury goods even
more so.) -2000cr

• Steam Engine Whiskey, contains

nanobots that create arti�cial,
harmless steam issues from your
mouth and nose after drinking
(and unintended by the
manufacturer, your ears, and tear
ducts also.) Regarded by most as
merely an amusing novelty,
medical practitioners may be
willing to trade services for this as
it can help resolve certain ear,
nose, and throat issues. -500cr

Grabbing everything else will net you

5kcr. and will take up the space of 1
pallet. Loading all of this without
interference takes 4 labor hours.

The Pool Tables are bolted to the

ground but are able to �t through an
airlock onto a ship. The aluminum pool
cues are intact but the chalk tip is
missing (eaten.)

The Jukebox is pretty standard and

receives regular song updates
remotely. You can unplug it from the
wall and someone could move it with

Maintenance 2 (M2)
Going between the Tavern and the
Re�nery, the Maintenance Of�ce &
Storage is midway through this tunnel.
On the side closest to the Foundry,
there is a Large Wrench and a Walkie
Talkie with a red number “8” lit up on
the front. On the back is a sticky note
reading “4-COM, 7-SEC, 8-MC, 13-
TR”, if you hail these frequencies:
4-COM (Command)
You’ll reach Badon, acting Security
Chief, who is in the Command
quarters with four wounded and three
survivors. They are hiding but have
been unable to reach out because an
unknown man took the Commander to
the command deck and locked them
out. There were gunshots several hours
later and only footsteps since—they
don’t know whose but suspect the
worst. They suggest taking
Maintenance 3 which leads directly to
them as the Security Area is overrun
“with... hostile entities.”
7-SEC (Security)
You hear “A security of�cer will be
with you shortly.” and after about a
minute of silence, the same thing
repeating inde�nitely.
8-MC (Maintenance Chief)
There is no response. If Hana is with
the party, she says “Sang, are you
there? Anybody?” If someone speaks
on this channel, you periodically hear
someone activating their microphone
(the brief burst of static) but they don’t
speak. It’s morse code for “SOS.” If
asked where they are they again
respond in code: “Maintenance
Of�ce.”
14
13- TR (Team Radio)
Switching to this frequency, you’ll
immediately hear 1950’s Big Band
style music. If Hana is listening, she
chuckles stating “I forgot it was my
day.” When the song ends, a voice
states “Today’s music is thanks to Hana
“Harpoon,” love her, thank her, blame
her, haha.
Your day is coming.” The music
continues and this message repeats
about every hour. Hana explains daily
a maintenance staff member can play
whatever music they want for a day
cycle. If on this frequency when the
day cycle ends, the music switches to
thrashy garage punk.
6- (If contact is randomly
attempted on this frequency)
(If this frequency isn’t tried, have the
walkie get a call from this frequency
at a dramatic moment or at the
Command quarters. It �ashes the call’s
frequency.) The person on the other
end is vague and evasive if
questioned. They will say they were on
an escape pod which landed on
Carbex and are using a mine radio.
(They are, at absolute least, 150
kilometers away on the planet’s
surface.) They have made it to one of
Carbex’s mines, Sediment Hill (where
the parasites originated), and request
the PCs’ ship come there. They’re
incapable of directly stating they
need rescue or transport.
Trying other frequencies yields no
results.
(If the players expect enemies in the
Re�nery, they can quietly open the
maintenance door and gain surprise.
Otherwise, they are likely surprised by
enemies.)
Maintenance Of�ce & Storage
The maintenance of�ce seems clean,
the front area is a partition with a
window with a slot for depositing
documents and packages, possibly big
enough for a person to pass through.
On the wall is an empty tray reading
“Maintenance Orders.”
Next to the window is a locked door
whose sign reads “Authorized
Personnel Only. Alarm will Sound.” It
isn’t particularly sturdy and could be
picked or kicked in relatively easily. If
forced, an alarm sounds and the
Activated on the other side get a
surprise round. Slipping through the
window slot is impossible wearing any
bulky armor. Mildly contorting yourself
through it requires a Body save or you
become stuck. A Body save can be
attempted at the start of the turn to
free themselves.
On the other side in the hallway are
(# of players +2) Activated who
attack as soon as they see someone or
hear a loud noise.
Sang Sros
Maintenance Chief C:25, I: 40 H:1(30)
Wants: To safely recover DrinkBot,
Work or study somewhere with AI
Sang tries to improve the things around
him: machinery, relationships, and
ef�ciencies whether asked to or not. He
always has dozens of projects but none
can say he doesn’t complete them. Sang
is DrinkBot’s creator and is saving up to
move somewhere to work on AI full-
time.
Skills: Engineering and Arti�cial
Intelligence.
In Storage, there are numerous shelves
of any kind of toolset, cleaning
solutions (acidic & basic), and various
tools and cleaning implements. There is
also a cabinet-sized wheeled
industrial cutting torch.

The hallway has two doors at opposite

ends. The rightmost door is open and
reads “Maintenance Of�ce” and the
leftmost is locked and reads
“Storage.”

In the Maintenance Of�ce, there are

half a dozen �ling cabinets and the
walls are nearly covered in
markerboard maintenance schedules
and assignment charts. Atop one �le
cabinet are 3 Walkie Talkies and 6
Walkie Chargers. The gray metal desk
is strewn with loose papers and
machine parts surrounding a custom-
built radio transmitter and microphone
set to frequency 13.

When entering, a small voice from the

desk queries: “Is it safe?” A thin man in
overalls crawls out from under the
desk.

15
Corridor 6
There is a loose power cable on the
�oor that anyone with a maintenance
background can safely move.
Otherwise, make an Intellect check or
take 3 Stress and 2d10 damage—1
Wound to successfully move the cable.
Anyone crossing must make a Speed
check or take 2 Stress and 2d10
damage.
Bunks
Divided up into quads (4 rooms) each
with 4x5 open bunk arrangements.
The Bunks’ entrance leads to a hallway
of closed doors leading to each
Quad. At the hallway’s end is an
airlock marked “Escape Pod” with an
electric sign above �ashing “Escape
Pod Away.” (Unless you docked here.)
Quad 1
There’s black powder everywhere,
reminiscent of the Docks. The bunks
themselves lack any identifying or
personal features such as posters or
photos. There are two gnawed
skeletons but nothing else notable. (roll
on Loot table x # of Players)
Quad 3
Very clean and quiet save a blood
trail leading to a ransacked bunk. The
mattress was �ipped and sliced open
end to end. If searched, there are 4
credit sticks with 300cr each. (This
room is a safe place to rest.)
Quad 4 (Medical Bay)
The door opens by pushing a wall
button next to it, a fresh bloody
handprint is on it.
When the door opens, a crash is
audible inside and some glass breaks.
Looking in, you see nothing at �rst as it
is dark save a small green air �ltration
system light near where the sound
originated. There are two rows of ten
hospital beds against the walls.
Walking down the row, Dash
Montgomery attempts to stab the �rst
�gure she sees with a Scalpel. If she
sees �ashlights, she slowly stands up,
hands in the air.

Quad 2
Marked DO NOT ENTER in black
spray paint and hundreds of strips of
packing tape seal the door shut—the
empty Tape Gun is adjacent on the
�oor. If Dash was encountered, she
notes she locked several Activated
inside—it was a bloodbath.

If forced open, there are (# of

players + 3) ravenous Activated
crowding the doorway who attack.

The room looks like a bomb hit it. Bone

fragments are scattered everywhere
and the mattresses are torn to shreds.
While only traces remain, it is clear
there was a lot of blood at one time.
(Roll on the loot table, if it could
theoretically be eaten, it isn’t there.)

16
Dash Montgomery
Logistics Manager C:35, I: 50 H:1(40)
Wants: To continue a life with Badon
Dash considers herself a personality
manager more than anything. She can
determine pretty quickly which “cogs”
mesh well or grind an operation to a
halt. She’s not afraid to get her hands
dirty, either. Dash is also secretly a very
talented spray paint artist.
Skills: Art, Heavy Machinery and
Psychology.
Dash is in bad shape and needs actual
medical attention, but the Medical Bay
was plundered. She has several deep
bruises on her face and arms. Her left
forearm is fractured. Dash doesn’t
know but she’s also at Stage 0 of The
Creeping Perforation. Dash has a
Maintenance Key, Scalpel and Black
Spray Paint.
She’ll recount trying to get to
Command via Maintenance 1 but
was attacked and forced back by
security of�cers. The Re�nery has
“those cloudy things” (Coal Shades)
and is similarly bad.
Corridor 7
The enemies in the Re�nery are pretty
much only concerned with this corridor.
They don’t really have any place to
hide either. Overall, surprise is unlikely.
Re�nery
There are 2 Shades and 10 large
forges whose doors are open which
once operated around the clock but
are presently cold. Connected to each
forge via hopper with multiple seals
are Sodium Hydroxide barrels. In the
room’s back is a much smaller forge
connected to a small Caesium
Hydroxide barrel. (On careful
examination, the sealed latches
normally holding the door shut were
apparently forced open.)
Corridor 8
This corridor is lit only by a �ashing
red ceiling light. A large metal barrier
is sealing the Security Area. Near the
red light is an (inactive) Shotgun
Turret. The door is covered with a
laser and �re-resistant plastic rife with
scratches and laser burns but without
substantive damage. Besides its own
massive weight, the barrier is also
secured by four hydraulic deadlocks.
The barrier can be deactivated via
keypad (9-digit code-1 billion
possible codes). Cutting through takes
3 hours. If you fail a check bypassing
the door digitally or electronically the
Shotgun Turret targets anything
moving without a Angelus Fabrica
Security Uniform. The Shotgun Turret
attacks if it detects tampering. It
contains 4 magazines (16 rounds) of
Combat Shotgun ammo.
Shotgun Turret
C: 30, Shoot- 1 Wound
I: 40
Hits: 2 (30)
Tactics: Intended as a riot suppression
system and always choosing a new
target each round. It never attacks a
target beyond 10m. Damaging or
covering its sensor causes it to �re
wildly (-20% Combat) until it is out of
ammo or deactivated. Any EMP effect
or electrical damage immediately
shuts it down.
17
Maintenance 3 (M3)
When �rst approaching Command, a
humanoid �gure (android) in a blue
uniform yells “Halt!” brandishing a
Flamethrower. “Say anything!” (Badon
does not immediately attack because
they do not recognize the PCs.)
Provided player(s) say something:
“Who are you and why are you
here?” If answered in almost any non-
hostile fashion, they’ll introduce
themselves as Badon.

Badon

Acting Security Chief C:30

Flamethrower 1 Wound, I: 30 H:2(30)

Wants: To protect their and Dash’s

future wellbeing.

Badon, the only Android security of�cer,

is the sole surviving security of�cer
post-outbreak. Badon is well-liked by
the crew for their fair and thorough
work keeping them safe. Badon was
well-liked by their former colleagues for
not bleeding to death when stabbed
and mostly dealt with the Tavern’s
onerous drunks. They are eager to
prove themselves in this crisis and
(hopefully) get promoted. They have a
chain link tattoo spiraling around their
bicep, each representing a place Badon
called home, the last link is etched with
green �owers.
Skills: Military Training, Hand to Hand
Combat
Badon answers questions to the best
of their ability but otherwise ushers
PCs into the Command Quarters.
Security Area
There are (# of players +3
Activated) within and (# of players)
Activated in the open doorway to
Maintenance 1.
The opening is a pseudo corridor
�anked by weapon racks secured
behind black metal cages. At the end
is an open area containing a desk with
several security screens. To the right
are three 2m x 1.5m metal bar
holding cells and one metal 4’x4’
enclosed padded cell. To the left is
Corridor 9’s airlock door.

18
Weapons Racks
On the right: pistols and stun batons.
On the left: a poster reading “Bonuses
paid by assets protected!” and two
sets of badly damaged (must be
repaired to function) Advanced Battle
Dress, 2 Foam Guns and d10 Smoke
Grenades.
There is an Artifact in the left weapon
cage.
There is a large console of cameras
and station controls. Surveillance
screens show most of Angelus
Fabrica’s major areas but are tepid at
best—half are dark and unresponsive
and the remainder grainy. The feeds
are restored by repairing the console.
A blue button that activates the
station-wide audio system is on the
desk along with two short-range
communicators. Any door or airlock
can be unlocked or opened from here,
including the Command Deck. Further,
DrinkBot can be deactivated. There is
an overturned swivel chair at the desk
and an empty mug with an Angelus
Fabrica logo (an Anvil with angel
wings).
What the Command survivors
know: Badon escaped the Security
Area after Coal Shades attacked.
They later moved through
Maintenance tunnels rounding up
station staff but this became
extremely dangerous. They got as
many into an escape pod as possible
and those willing to remained with a
few wounded. After this, an unknown
woman with a gun snuck into the
Command area and held the
Commander at gunpoint and went to
the Command Deck, sealing the door
behind them. At some point, gunshots
were audible but nothing notable has
happened since. Pressing your ear to
the sealed door, you can occasionally
hear footsteps.

Further along, there are three barred

holding cells all with their doors open.
Each contains a blanket and pillow
inside with spartan toilet facilities—
even for a space prison. The fourth cell
has a solid wall and door with an
openable slot at the bottom. Looking
inside, it's completely dark. (Shining a
light through it causes the Silver�sh
Hybrid inside to screech and �ee from
view.) To the right of all cells is a
panel with seven labeled buttons. Two
for each barred cell which pour
chilling water into the cell or electrify
its bars and �oor (d10 damage.) The
last button opens the padded cell
door.

19
Corridor 9
Leads directly to the Command
Quarters, Joseph, a survivor is here. If
PC’s approach without Badon, he will
immediately suffer a heart attack or if
Badon is present, rolls on the Panic
Table.
If arriving via the escape pod airlock,
Badon, will appear and ask if you are
there as rescue. They tell the party
everything they know and will assist
locating more survivors.
If arriving from the Security Area,
Badon rushes in, somewhat shocked,
falling to their knees. Badon asks
“You- You killed them all?”
20
C. Command
Command Quarters
This area leads to each Command
room. The Security Chief and Dash’s
rooms have two wounded on each
bed. The survivors sleep in shifts in the
remaining bedroom—no one is
currently using it. No one objects to
you entering the rooms but will
confront PCs over obvious stealing.
Command Bedrooms: Each has a
bronze nameplate.

and Badon �ying in a swirling purplish
nebula. On the bed are two wounded
crewmembers. One is Caris, who is
awake and tells you they fell and hit
their head quite hard. Examining them,
they are clearly concussed. The other
patient, Arka’s arm is broken and
crudely splinted until they can get
actual medical attention. The only
other furniture is a dresser. If
searched, a drawer of Standard Crew
Attire and a credit stick (1371cr).

Allin Gaharra - Commander
Notably larger than the other
quarters. The wall paneling has bronze
(plated) accents and real canvas
paintings. There is also a window,
currently set to opaque on a nearby
control panel, matching the
surrounding walls.
An easel is occupied by a mostly blank
canvas depicting a hand reaching
from inky blackness. (Art: It’s not in the
same style or technique as the hung
paintings.)
The furniture is similar metal to the
other quarters but includes a dresser,
two bed stands and a large standing
safe with a mechanical keypad.
The main furniture doesn’t have much
notable besides some slightly nicer
uniforms. (Roll on the loot table.)
The safe is another matter. Check at (-)
or the safe seals itself with resin,
making it impossible to open without
destroying the contents—save with
specialized tools.
It contains:
▪ The deed to a planetary farm in
this sector
▪ A one-way, �rst-class cruise liner
ticket
▪ A patent for the concealed
Vibechete lamp
▪ Sealed letters to his family
members (Explaining why he “had
to go”.)
▪ Love letters between himself and
Brayson Jeeroks (Pen and paper
to “avoid discovery”)
▪ A detailed ledger tracking 15
years of gambling debts and
winnings.
▪ A trade ship’s location, docked in
a nearby asteroid belt (Records
show it went missing 20 years ago
but it’s legally abandoned
property at present.)
22
▪ A recipe for an ale using certain
uncommon alien fruits.
▪ 12d10 credit sticks, collectively
containing 2d10 x 200 (Rimwise:
It is considered suspicious by
authorities to deposit many credit
sticks at once, as it’s usually
indicative of unlicensed gambling,
theft or organized crime. Savvy
shady people deposit one at a
time sporadically or launder it at
a casino or similar.)
Brayson Jeeroks- Security Chief
The walls contain mostly family
pictures. Brayson apparently has
children with multiple partners and
there’s a large picture with all of
Brayson’s family as well.
Above the headboard is an (empty)
Gun Rack (where Badon got the
Flamethrower.) The bedside lamp has
a very strange design, it is a frame
concealing an easily retrieved
Vibechete. Neatly folded and stacked
on a bed stand shelf are 3 Angelus
Fabrica Security Uniforms.
There are two sleeping, wounded
crewmembers in the bed. One, Marlen,
is extremely pale and experienced
major blood loss. They are bandaged
but require stitches and ideally, a
blood transfusion to survive until they
receive medical treatment. The other,
an android named Mia, has the
equivalent to a sprained ankle (½
movement speed). Not much you can
do, the damaged circuits heal
eventually (Robotics required to
attempt repairs.)
The Command Deck
The door is sealed and takes a couple
minutes to cut through or can be
electronically bypassed.
A short set of stairs leads up to
several large consoles of buttons and
screens. Above that is a window
looking out onto the station and
beyond, Carbex’s surface.
Hunched over a console is a woman in
brown overalls and a white long-
sleeve shirt—attire typical for visiting
miners, she is a Possessed Miner. An
Activated in a nice uniform is lying still
on the �oor, its skin is gray and
appears rigid. The woman turns
around, smiling in a deeply unsettling
manner.
When combat ends, the entire station
shakes brie�y and station alarms start
blaring. Station analysis uncovers it
has not had its regularly scheduled
fuel burns to maintain orbit and will
soon plummet and burn up in the
atmosphere. The panel which
controlled this was destroyed. (If the
party came here pretty much directly,
give them a few hours to search
further and escape. If they have
searched most of the station, have the
station dramatically burning up in the
atmosphere to ratchet up the tension).

“You’re too late.” Her voice is gravelly

yet seemingly reverberates throughout
the room. She leans with one hand on
the control console and it crumples like
paper mache. “We will return our
planet as the Sustenance and so will
you!” At this point, the Activated
screams. Chitinous plate bursts from its
back ripping through the uniform. Its
mouth, similarly, suddenly and violently
produces two mandibles. The
Silver�sh Hybrid stands, ~3m tall, its
skin hardened into an exoskeleton. It
looks with completely black eyes,
mandibles snapping hungrily. (# of
Players) Activated drop from the
ceiling tiles initiating combat. (Unless
there is an obvious opening to escape,
the Possessed Miner yields if things
are going poorly.)

If she yields, she mentions some of her

comrades took an escape pod—and
some Activated—back home to the
Sediment Hill mine.

Escape!: Can be handled numerous
ways:
Crisis Ladder: If successful, escape onto
your ship. If not, move to the next step.
▪ Check 1
Fear Save: The station shakes and
groans. Visible through the
windows, are telltale signs of
atmospheric reentry.
▪ Check 2
Gain 2 Stress: The air is starting to
get hot as arti�cial gravity shuts
down. A section breaks off
(choose or roll a d10).
▪ Check 3
The station breaks apart,
exposing you to the vacuum of
space and extreme heat. You must
jump onto your ship or die.
24
Group Challenge
Party needs successes equal to the
number of party members (includes
NPCs) +1 to escape. For each failure,
each character gains 1 Stress and
takes d10 damage.
▪ Someone’s ankle gets struck with a
piece of debris, First Aid to patch
them up and keep moving
▪ The door is jammed shut,
Mechanical Repair to bypass or
spend valuable time going around
or cutting through.
▪ The room lost its arti�cial gravity,
Zero-G to guide the group safely
and quickly across.
▪ Command everyone to move in an
orderly and ef�cient manner,
without trampling each other in a
panic.
▪ Interface your ship’s computer with
the station, Arti�cial Intelligence to
give an accurate, up to date map
with the fastest path.
Fix-It!:

There are three thrusters that must be

manually �red, in unison, for one
minute. The thrusters are accessed in
Maintenance 1, Corridor 7 and
Maintenance 3.

Sang and Hana help, to avoid dying,

and can provide instructions if needed
(use the tools above tools to facilitate).

Opportunity

If you save the station, Sineto sends a

500kcr bonus, security privileges in
Sineto facilities (provided they aren’t
harming Sineto property or personnel)
and will contact PCs with future jobs.

Next Steps
If you chase the
Hestia First
You may stop the Hestia before it
reaches Sineto Deep Space Factory—
severely disrupting its operations and
spreading the plague to a much
larger population. The Coalescence on
Carbex also becomes much stronger
and more organized. The
Crashlanders establish a base as well.
If you land on
Carbex First
The Crashlanders are less organized
but so are the Possessed Miners. The
Coalescence is weaker. Without
intervention, Hestia IV very likely crash
lands at Sineto Chem Solutions in 3
days.
Chasing the
Hestia
If discovered soon enough, you can
pursue the Hestia IV before it reaches
the Sineto Chem Solutions Factory. The
Hestia IV arrives 8 days after the
Angelus Fabrica escape pods launch
(4 days after players arrive. It takes
~24 hours hyperspace travel reaching
Sineto Chem Solutions from Carbex.
Starspace travel at 100% Speed
catches up to The Hestia in 3 days).
Tracking the Hestia, it is traveling
through Starspace (not Hyperspace)
and headed toward the Sineto Chem
Solutions Facility. Besides not jumping
in Hyperspace, they aren’t maximizing
speed. (Whoever is driving isn’t a
trucker, who generally are paid by the
parsec.)
You can also call ahead to the Sineto
facility. You better have an excellent
argument as to why they should blow
up their own property and employees.
Generally, they promise to order them
to stop in the station’s orbit or seal
them at the port so they can evaluate
what to do (Hestia IV’s Possessed
Miners have no intention of stopping.)
If somehow convinced, their �ghters
are more than capable of downing
the craft (Success is, of course, entirely
up to the Warden).
Destroying or
disabling Hestia
IV
If a ship gets too close or �res on the
Hestia IV, the computer initiates
combat. If the Hestia IV takes too
much damage (Hull <20% [28]), the
computer ceases �ring, kills the
engines, and sends an automated
surrender message. (Ships, especially
ones this size, are worth millions of
credits and any cargo/crew worth that
much have substantial mercenary
escorts. Corporations aren’t too
concerned about their ships being
stolen, as it's almost always cheaper to
post a reward for the ship's return
than build a new ship. And, of course,
even if they never see it again that’s
what insurance is for).
The Possessed Miners are not gonna
do much during ship-to-ship combat.
The ship’s computer is better equipped
to operate its weapons. One exits the
2F Cargo airlock with a handheld
Laser Cutter and releases two
Silver�sh Hybrids to board the
players’ ship—they’re strong enough
to pry open airlocks.

There is an airlock [2F] which typically

here, retreating to alert his
compatriots if anyone attempts to

There is also a large bay door below
this for loading cargo which, when
opened, causes the Cargo Area and
Catwalks above to lose air. Any
portion of the ship can be cut into as

As soon a party member steps foot on

Opening the door, you are met with a
glowing blue pylon: the Hestia’s jump
drive. Standing in the room’s center is
a modestly sized pylon, this is a short-
ranged vessel, the drive is only good
for one jump at a time. A lever to the
left displays the drive is currently
disengaged.
Beeping is audible from behind the
jump drive pylon. If not immediately
investigated, a woman with welding
goggles, a modi�ed Bio Scanner and
a lab coat steps from behind the pylon
with her hands up: “You’re not one of
them.” Behind her, there’s a dead
Activated, a Tranq Gun and a
Crowbar.
Dr. Edwards upon seeing Hestia IV’s
violent takeover and overhearing the
assailants’ plans snuck into the Jump
Drive Chamber and manually
deactivated it. “One of those things
came in and attacked me. After some
time, nothing else entered, so I
examined this creature and �ne-tuned
this bio scanner to their signatures.
She’ll pick up her other implements
and help secure the rest of the ship.
(An Activated, Hybrid or someone
infected with The Creeping Perforation
is 1 signature, a Possessed Miner and
Swarm are two dozen, a Coalescence
appears as hundreds or thousands.
Coal Shades blip sporadically.)

Dr. Lillian Edwards

Planetary Explorer C:25, I: 40 H:3(30)

Wants: To study these strange

creatures, to make it to her next job

Is there anything as pleasing as seeing

sun(s) rise over a heretofore unseen
horizon? That’s what Dr. Lillian Edwards
lives for. As she would put it, she listens
to what each planet has to tell us and
has to offer humankind. Her skin has
some light scarring from when the acid
rain on a particular planet was A BIT
stronger than calculated. She is as
fascinated as she is horri�ed by the
parasites and the mutations they cause.

Skills: Driving, Biology, Planetology

The Bio Scanner has been modi�ed to

detect the Parasites’ EKG signals and
will not detect uninfected humans.

Deck 2
Catwalks & Crane
These steel catwalks cross over the
Cargo area including the overhead
crane’s controls, though it is usually
operated via the computer. A corpse
on a catwalk has a Frag Grenade on
a bandolier.
There is an airlock leading outside the
ship accessible here.
The gunnery position for the Hestia
IV’s Auto-Cannon is next to this airlock,
the control yoke is broken off.
This ship’s crane is automatically
disabled during space�ight—which
can be electronically bypassed. The
crane has a speed of 10% and can
lift up to 10 tons.
Cryo Chamber 1
The “air” isn’t breathable (carbon
monoxide). Humans will quickly
develop a headache, dizziness, and
blurred vision. Body Save each round
or (-) to all checks. Humans pass out
after 3 minutes. If any �ames are
present, they shrink, turn blue and
quickly gutter out. There is a cart in
the room’s center with 2d10 open gas
tanks, audibly hissing as their contents
escape. As an action, you can turn two
off. (Once all are closed, the ship’s life
support system makes the room
habitable again in 2 rounds.)
When the cart is approached, 2
Possessed Miners pop out of the
cryopods nearest to the doors and bar
them, each has 3 hand grenades and
a revolver each. (Players +3)
Activated then emerge from the pods.
The Miners do not care about harming
the Activated.
Cryo Chamber 2
One of the pods is closed and active.
There are however no life signs
reading on the screen and, looking
inside, telltale signs of a critical pod
failure are visible. Looking through the
viewing port you see a withered
frostbitten mummy. This unfortunate
victim is clutching a loot table item.
Cryo Chamber 3
Covered in a sheet of ice, one of the
pod’s coolant hoses has burst, freezing
all the air’s moisture. Any creature
moving more than once during their
turn in combat must make a Body save
or slip and fall, d10 damage.
There is a Possessed Miner and (# of
players +5) Activated here.
Cryo Chamber 4
Where the other Cryo Chambers have
over a dozen pods, this one only
contains two but with many
apparatuses attached. These are
advanced medical pods, for
transporting those in fragile medical
conditions or the mortally wounded
requiring care at a more dedicated
facility.
One of the pods is currently in use. The
chart shows the occupant is in a
medically induced coma after
suffering major injuries—their life
signs con�rm this. Removing them
causes them to die within the hour.
Opening the pod is a complex and
lengthy process to avoid any mishaps,
which is why it remains intact.
Opportunity
If you can get this person treated, they
or their family may send you
something valuable as thanks. They
may also, once healed, join your crew.
If this person happens to perish, their
family will still be grateful to receive
news of their loved one.

undeniable. For the most part, she has
quietly ensured that those in her care
make it safely home, wherever that may
be. For the few that have called the
Hestia home, Hestia herself has
extended what protection she can. Her
followers carry ancient silver coins as a
token of her favor.

Skills: Piloting and Mysticism.

Hestia requests you retake the ship

and save any of her supplicants. If PCs

appears to be an Ancient Silver Coin .
The coins contain microchips that allow
access to any part of Hestia IV. While
Hestia is remarkable, she is still
con�ned to a ship’s computer. She can
speak and listen in any room via the
ship’s speaker system but is otherwise
only capable of opening and closing
doors, operating the ship’s weapons
and assisting astrogation.

Deck 3
Med Bay
A staircase connecting to Cryo 3 & 4 is
here. A hospital bed is situated
opposite a corner operating table.
Surprisingly well-stocked (3d10 Anti
Anxiety Pills and First Aid Kits)
alongside a Med Scanner and a
Cybernetic Diagnostic Scanner. A
cabinet locked with an electronic card
scanner contains most common drugs,
including d10 Stimpaks, AutoMeds,
and Pain Killers. (Those with medical
backgrounds can also �nd anti-
parasitics here, Body Saves(+) against
The Creeping Perforation, reduce
disease level by 1 on success).
Conservatory
The room’s outer walls are windows
looking out to the stars. Vines climb
various poles and lattices and stone
plant beds wrap around the room.
Bisected by a small babbling stream.
(# of players) Parasite Swarms roam
amongst the foliage.
The garden contains various �owers,
plants, fruits and vegetables. (Besides
as food sources, there’s botanicals to
synthesize d10 Stimpacks. The hot
peppers can be made into pepper
spray which destroys parasites on
contact or temporarily blinds a
target—or re�ned into a pill granting
+10% on a Body save against The
Creeping Perforation, reducing the
disease level by 1 on success. This
effect does not stack taking the pill
generates 2 Stress).
Life Support
The door is completely sealed over
with—apparently—dirt, in an
orientation similar to a beehive or a
termite hill. This can be broken or cut
through, but not quietly.
Inside are oxygen producers and
pumps, arti�cial gravity generators,
heating, and cooling.
Against the machinery, another dirt
structure is attached to various
apparatus—this hill moves and stands
on four legs. It has the approximate
stature of a lion and jagged glistening
claws. Billowing black clouds pour
from its mouth—Possessed Miners
formed a Coalescence!

The Coalescence moves to the Cargo
and Catwalks area where it can move
freely taking cover as needed and
remains there until defeated or Hestia
IV collides with the Sineto Chem
Solutions station. (If things are not
going well for the Coalescence, any
of its unencountered allies may
appear).
Once the Coalescence moves, the life
support system springs numerous leaks.
Circuitry needs to be reset, hoses
reattached and, once repaired, the
system needs to be reset in
Command. (Hestia if encountered,
can do this remotely.) Without
intervention, the ship loses air and
arti�cial gravity in 10 minutes. (If
Cargo is currently exposed to the
vacuum of space, reduce to 5
minutes.)
Once defeated, it collapses into a pile
of dirt, charcoal powder, dead
parasites and 10 diamond claws
(100kcr total)
35
Living Quarters 1
The door has no apparent scanner or
keyhole but there is a coin slot.
Inputting an Ancient Silver Coin opens
it, the coin can be collected from a
bowl on the other side. This door can
also be cut but is designed to achieve
white-hot temperatures if sensor tubes
within are broken (which happens if
not detected.) Touching the heated
door deals 3d10 damage. The door is
more easily broken down but smashing
the white hot door deals 1d10
damage.
Upon entering, this space was clearly
not used as a living quarters. Most
striking is a marble statue of a woman
(Hestia) in a hooded cloak, arms open
in greeting. Before her is a (lit) bronze
brazier. The brazier and �re’s glass
containment tube eliminate smoke.
Beside the �re is a plastic box �lled
with 2d10 individually wrapped �re
gel cubes, which burn with a
camp�re’s approximate intensity up to
72 hours.
In the corner is a kitchenette, with a
secure freezer and speed de-thawer.
The freezer contains many cured
meats and cheeses (300 cr) and the
cupboard contains a dozen liter-sized
tubs of animal lard (offerings to
Hestia) and a loaf of rye bread (50
cr)
The remainder is a lounge area, with
3 loot table items on some shelves
and comfy chairs and tables.
If the door wasn’t destroyed, this is a
safe place to rest.
36
Living Quarters 2
Locked with a keycard scanner.
Two queen-sized beds facing each
other on opposite walls occupy most of
the room. Two �gures, both Activated,
lie completely still in each. If not
destroyed within a minute, one
becomes a Silver�sh Hybrid, a
Parasite Swarm bore out of the other.
The Hybrid attempts to screen the
Swarm from harm while it escapes.
The Hybrid carries one loot table
item.
Otherwise there’s a few clothes but
few other personal possessions. The
bedspreads are, notably, real bear
fur (2kcr each).
Command
Almost pristine, save a few loose
panels on the control consoles.
Life Support can be reset here and
Hestia IV’s engine shutdown can be
overridden.
2 Parasite Swarms lie in wait inside
the consoles, attacking anyone who
approaches.
Galley
Outside, a cacophony of crashes and
footfalls is audible.
The �oor is covered with the detritus
of several tables and chairs and 20
Activated gnaw on various pieces of
furniture. -10% PC speed on the
rubble which shifts as you walk on it.
All food is eaten and the equipment is
badly damaged but there is plentiful
scrap metal (2d10cr).
A staircase connects to Cryo 1 & 2.
Barracks
Two rows of 10 beds some containing
dead Activated—apparently killed
by a heavy machine gun. (All the
wounds are from inside the body, as a
Parasite Swarm formed and
burrowed out.) Searching uncovers #
of players loot table items.

Science Lab
Similar to the Med Bay and
surprisingly adequate given the ship.

Including microscopes, centrifuges and

any common chemicals and reagents
for scienti�c experimentation. There
are small frozen and refrigerated
storages and various cabinets
containing glass apparatus as well as
rock samples.

Two Hazard Suits are in a small closet

area.

In a sealed jar, a Parasite taps futilely

against the glass. You feel slightly
uncomfortable looking at it (it projects
its discomfort).

Carbex
Sediment Hill
Mine
A cave opening situated on a massive
hill, topped with a spaceport and ore
stockpile. The road leading in is
tracked with tire ruts and footpaths.
An elevator leads into the mines, some
using excavation vehicles, others,
merely dim, cramped tunnels. One
tunnel leads to a small underground
lake and its sinister residents—miners
who unfortunately found the parasites.
Now, something much larger grows,
getting bigger daily.

39
Mine Entrance
~20m in diameter and leads to an
area with lockers, equipment and
vehicles as well as two 10x10m cargo
lifts. A series of conveyor belts zig-zag
to the spaceport atop the hill’s
stockpile. A tunnel leads to the mine’s
elevator and shaft. # of players loot
table items are scattered about.
Elevator
A large hexagonal platform capable
of moving dozens and workers and
heavy machinery.
Currently contains 3 large crates,
two—which are smashed open—are
labeled “Air tanks.” The remaining
crate contains 6 �re extinguishers.
The elevator is perfectly functional
and safe, its panel is labeled:
▪ Entrance
▪ Level 1
▪ Level 3
▪ Ore Load out
Once PCs step off the elevator, a
raspy voice is audible in their minds:
“You cannot hope to stop us.”
Level 1- Main Tunnel
Suf�ciently large to permit heavy
machinery’s passage. The lights are
spaced a bit too far apart to be
considered well-lit, leaving pools of
complete darkness in some areas
(random encounters almost certainly
gain Surprise.)
Three stope accesses (tunnels leading
to coal ore) are on the right at even
intervals if walking from the elevator.
A large motor running is audible here,
coming from the Stope Access B.
A large vertical chute, the Ore Pass, is
at the tunnel’s center. It leads to the
Ore Load Out.
40
At the tunnel’s end is the (downward)
Access Ramp.
After the Hestia: The tunnel between
Stope Access 1B & 1C is collapsed.
Two Possessed Miners stand at the
Access Ramp’s top, waiting to deploy
a truck trap.
Stope Access 1A
Contains metal tracks from excavation
machinery. After several hundred
meters a light is visible at the tunnel’s
end and the tracks terminate.
The light is from a lantern with two
skeletons nearby (They have large
holes in their rib cages as if killed by
a large spear) with a loot table item
next to them. (This is also a great time
for a random encounter behind the
party).
Stope Access 1B
An engine is audible, there are tracks
here as well. A string of lights hangs
from the ceiling.
The sound’s source quickly becomes
apparent: a large yellow machine with
large spinning buzzsaws (an
excavator) is off the tracks blocking
the tunnel’s end. If turned off, # of
players Possessed Miners investigate.
Ore Pass- Vertical 5m x 5m chute for
dumping ore into the Crusher. Entering
without climbing equipment causes one
to fall into the Crusher.
Stope Access 1C
Seemingly fairly typical. A yellow
excavator atop rails rests at the
tunnel’s front with a loot table item on
the rails behind it.
This tunnel is somewhat shorter and
newer than the other two, at the end
are dozens of Activated all lying
completely still but medscans reveal
vitals. If previously encountered, these
soon (~1 hr) transform into either
Parasite Swarms or Silver�sh
Hybrids.
After the Hestia: A horrifying scene of
perforated bodies. The thousands of
bugs from this atrocity either joined
the Coalescence or are swarming
between the elevator and Stope
Access 3A.
Access ramp (spiral ramp
between levels)
A downward spiraling 3m wide ramp
connecting each level of the mine.
After the Hestia: If using the ramp, the
Possessed Miners up top race down in
a truck taking up most of the ramp
arriving at Ore Load Out after 3
turns. Speed Save to dive between
wheels or take 1 Wound (Massive).
Level 2- Middle Tunnel
Signi�cantly narrower than the others
and unlit, save a faint luminescence
from Stope Access 2C. Near the
Access Ramp is a tool rack: pickaxes,
sledgehammers and laser cutters
(After the Hestia, they are
incorporated into the Coalescence).
If entering from the Access Ramp, a
Silver�sh Hybrid immediately charges
the �rst creature it sees, likely gaining
Surprise. Otherwise, you likely surprise
the Hybrid.
Before the Hestia: A clangorous noise
emmenates from Stope Access 2A.
Stope Access 2A
Before the Hestia: The tunnel at �rst
seems as alive and noisy as if the mine
were operating normally. Four
Possessed Miners are digging with
everything the parasites can squeeze
from them at the tunnel’s end. They
likely won’t hear nearby combat or
notice anyone approaching. They are
only armed with pickaxes.
They seem to have been digging
downward and in a spiral pattern
much like the Access Ramp.
After the Hestia: Proceeds as
expected before spiraling down to the
Underground Lake. There are four
damaged pickaxe heads and
shattered plastic (breathing) helmets
near the lake.
Stope Access 2B
As with Level 1, the Ore Pass access is
across the tunnel from here.
Leads to a large dug-out room lined
with four natural pillars—highly
dangerous as miners must manually
remove pillars, hoping for a controlled
ceiling collapse. Previously much
larger—the room’s back end
apparently collapsed.
The ceiling collapses entirely if three
pillars are destroyed.
At the back is a hole leading to the
Underground Lake—although it is a
~300m drop!
Stope Access 2C
A single long tunnel, just wide enough
for one to swing a pickaxe. The light
emanates from an alcove on the left
about midway down.
The alcove leads to a small dug out
room lit with suspended �ashlights and
mining helmets. There’s a collapsible
table in the center with an apparently
quickly abandoned poker game.
There are shell casings on top of the
cards and few small, dry bloodstains.
Around the edges are makeshift stools
and cots as well as about half a
dozen spare oxygen tanks stacked in
a corner. Nearby is a shelf with a few
simple games as well as a loot table
item.
Shining one’s light further down the
tunnel illuminates the artifact Hand
Excavator.
41
Level 3- Lower Tunnel
You feel intense pressure on your chest
approaching (+1 Stress).
After the Hestia: Between the elevator
and Stope Access 3A are thousands of
parasites, swarming every surface. If
headed toward the Underground
Lake, they allow passage. Non-
Coalescence heading towards the
elevator are swarmed, make a Fear
save or be unable to pass or make a
Body save or be quickly consumed.
This swarm disperses if it eats anyone.
Stope Access 3A
The tracks are empty.
The walls contain strange almost cave
painting-like drawings (blood) of stars,
planets, spaceships and people. One
drawing clearly depicts Sineto Deep
Space Factory.
Underground Lake
A freshwater lake, over a hectare in
size, stretches before you. Five large
natural pillars stretch to the cavern
ceiling for above. The water itself is
only ~60 cm deep with various
protruding rocks and stalagmites.
Opportunity
If the Coalescence is killed, its nearby
minions are somewhat rudderless but
remain a threat. You may consider this
threat eliminated, have PCs go through
the rest of the mine with no
random encounters, or roll a Combat
check for “mop up” operations.
Its claws contain 100kcr in diamonds.
Ore Load Out
This area consists of a concrete pad
blackened from coal dust. (The coal
that would normally be here was
consumed.)
There is a front-end loader for �lling
tubs with coal dust and a forklift for
moving them onto the elevator
platform.
Crusher
A large steel machine grinds up ore
and separates ore from tailings. The
top is open to the Ore Pass but the
machine is currently off. Any creature
entering the Crusher while it is on
instantly dies.

Suddenly an enormous form emerges

from the water: the Coalescence.

Before the Hestia: The Coalescence is

weaker and smaller: 4 Hits (80) and
begins in its Lion Form, progressing to
Giant Silver�sh after 2 Hits. Otherwise
use the listed stats and begin in its
Dragon form.

The Coalescence advantageously uses

the large cavern and its natural cover
by climbing and �ying and attempts to
escape the lake before changing
forms.

If not physically prevented from

leaving, the Coalescence tries to make
its way to the Sediment Hill spaceport
or the PC’s ship. It calls its minions to
aid its escape attempt.

The Abandoned Mine
(Crashlanders)
The nearest (inactive) mine to
Sediment Hill—strip-mined with a
colossal mining saw, presently sitting at
the quarry’s bottom. On the quarry’s
edge are the facilities that previously
housed its personnel. Various platforms
extend off the edge to support the
structure and lower machinery into the
pit.
After the Hestia: The Crashlanders
moved the escape pod (previously on
the quarry’s rim) hoisting it up amongst
the mining saw’s rigging. Two
Crashlanders are always within acting
as lookouts, one wields a Sniper Ri�e
and shoots at anyone approaching.
The Crashlanders exclusively inhabit
the mining saw and surrounding
environs and erected several detritus
barricades and traps on the ramp
leading into the quarry.
43
The Upper Facilities
On the quarry’s edge, a two-story
building partially supported by struts
connecting to the pit’s inside wall. One
side has a ramp with a (still functional)
winch, which lowers all the way to the
quarry’s bottom.
The Mining Saw Camp
The immense mining saw sits at the
bottom of the quarry which dwarfs the
saw despite its towering structure. (L-
220m (721’), W- 50m (164’), H-
100m (328’) Dozen tracks- Speed is
2m-10m per minute)

The �rst �oor is extremely bare,
clearly everything that wasn’t nailed
down—and several things that were,
judging by the cut bolts sticking out of
the �oor—was taken. Only metal
support beams remain where walls
once previously divided 3 rooms. A set
of stairs barely wide enough for one
set of shoulders leads to the second
�oor.
The second �oor is similar but some
furniture is stacked in a semi-circular
fashion at the room’s far end. If PC’s
did not chase the Hestia �rst, six
survivors are behind this barrier—
including one who points a revolver at
PCs, Return.
There’s usually a guard atop the
mining saw chassis who can assist
anyone in getting inside.
There’s usually ~20 Angelus Fabrica
Survivors crammed in here. The chassis
is altered to contain air which normally
just �lls the saw’s driver cabin. It is
unspeakably cramped and any checks
while resting here have (-) from
squeezing into a place to lie down.
Return approaches requesting a status
update.

If PC’s arrived after chasing the

Hestia, there are signs of recent
habitation: food wrappers, bullet
casings and a loot table item.

The Road Down

A wide road leads into the quarry
with a crude barricade always
watched by 2 guards.

After the Hestia: There are several

barricades. Strength checks to cross or
move them, Failure: d10 damage. If
you make a lot of noise, a sniper
(33%combat/instinct) starts taking
shots unless you demonstrate you’re
human (attempting to surrender or
yelling work).

Parts of the road contain rudimentary

land mines (d10 if stepped on). Safely
recognized and disarmed by anyone
with a background in Explosives.

An Angelus Fabrica forge worker whose
shift was coming up before the disaster.
She saw dozens of friends slain while
escaping. Landing on the abandoned
quarry’s rim—and harried by the same
twisted monstrosities—Return helped
maintain, organize and protection. Now,
she wants revenge.
Skills: Hand to Hand Combat, Tactics &

Opportunity:
If you’re headed to the village or
mine, Return offers to accompany you
or, if refused, secretly follows you.
After the Hestia: Hoses lead from the
chassis to numerous fabric shelters
around the mining saw. Provided a
steady supply of oxygen and always
patrolled by ~8 guards with �rearms.
The Village
Situated between Sediment Hill and
The Ashen Sepulcher, a series of
domes and towers intended for
Sediment Hill’s workers. It granted an
extremely cramped, dim life—not
unlike the mines. Or, at least, it was.
There are a few signs of a struggle
but otherwise, residents apparently
simply abandoned it one day.
There are a few dozen tubular two-
story domiciles, most contain little of
interest, perhaps a loot table item.
The Ashen Sepulcher
Visible from Sediment Hill Mine, atop
the tallest hill, a gray, polished granite
structure. Inside are similar granite
benches and �oors. The walls have
sconces containing crude torches,
�ares, detached headlamps and,
even, a few candles. Carved on the
walls are hundreds of names, and on a
separate wall, dozens of Xs (those
killed in a mining accident whose
names were unknown).
Community Center
A place for workers to gather, eat,
drink and play. Architecturally, a stark
contrast to the two-story tubular
residences. Spray painted diagonally
above the doorway:
If you can read this, head NE
Approach the quarry with hands up
The doors stand open ominously,
curved outward but hanging on their
hinges.
The foyer is far more cavernous than
the others but is almost completely
clean besides some dirt that has blown
in.
The �rst �oor’s tavern and arcade look
untouched save many foodstuffs being
opened and consumed. One loot table
item can be found here unless it’s
edible.
The second �oor exercise area
contains strength and cardio
machinery as well as hot tubs and
saunas. If air is restored, checks while
resting here have (+).
After the Hestia: The Crashlanders
�xed the doors and restored air. The
doors are chained and locked (easily
cut) and the second �oor’s stairs are
barricaded. The second �oor is used
as a “forward base” for those brave
enough to fetch supplies from town.
There’s d10 - # of players
Crashlanders with 2d10 days food
here—one has an artifact.
45
Guard Post/ Scrip Of�ce
Lobby
The tiled lobby area is about what
you’d expect of a small bank, though
perhaps a bit more drab and gray.
The wall across from you is mostly a
long desk sealed off by several-inch
thick acrylic glass (Meant to withstand
gun�re, mining tools and contains small
pieces of glass and metal to diffuse
laser cutter blasts. Explosives break
the glass.) The glass has numerous
cosmetic scratches and, on the �oor, is
a chunk of metal (a pickaxe head). On
the right side of this wall, embedded
within the glass, is a currency
exchange machine for exchanging
Mine Scrip/ Credits. Tampering sets
off the building’s alarm, drawing d10
Activated and 1 Coal Shade. (The
alarm can be circumvented
electronically). The machine contains
500kcr in Mine Scrip, which can only
be exchanged for credits here or
spent on Carbex or the Angelus
Fabrica Station.
Behind the glass are three bank
computers (also exchange Mine Scrip
and credits). While password-
protected, Hacking them opens the
three desk drawers (10kcr in Mine
Scrip each and 1 loot table item). Any
can also open the Vault door, directly
behind the counter, with a (-) check,

Security Of�ce/ Jail
There are numerous desks, each with
bars for attaching handcuffs. One bar
has one cuff still attached sans
connective chain. The computers are
trashed and broken on the �oor. The
desks contain a loot table item and
the weapon’s cabinet key.
The weapons cabinet has a basic lock
and contains a Shotgun and Laser
Cutter (1 clip of ammo each).
At the back are two iron barred jail
cells. One cell stands open, the other
locked with someone lying on the
cot—who, if observed, is breathing. It
takes some time getting their attention
to rouse them. They are extremely
malnourished but avoided dehydration
via the toilet.
Dominic Le Gof�c
Miner/ Scallywag C:20, I: 33 H:1(40)
Wants: To leave Carbex by any
means, minimal effort retirement
Dominic came hoping to �nd (and steal)
many diamonds, unfortunately—due to
a tragic misunderstanding of geology
and chemistry—this is impossible. He
was narrowly captured breaching the
bank vault. Dominic is affable—if
somewhat desperate—and can call
anywhere home if necessary. He has
cyberware tools for picking electronic
locks implanted in his arm.
Skills: Hacking and Wilderness
Survival
The cell door is easily cut and Dominic
requires nourishment to become
ambulatory. Opportunity
If he recovers, Dominic could be
bribed to guide PCs through Sediment

likely �ees if damaged. If he feels it’s
bene�cial, he offers to join the crew.

The Nightmare Crucible
No one, save the Engineering
department, has been seen entering or
exiting this section. There are docks
that only attach to this department
requiring special clearance to
approach or station systems
immediately �re.
Many think Engineering simply closed
off the area to conduct illegal trade
outside others’ prying eyes. If anyone
could set this up it’s them, right?
On the other hand, the occasional
screams give others pause. No one
remembers this department not being
part of the station. Some think illegal
experiments take place here and
others that Sineto is literally capturing
and exporting residents’ nightmares.
The facility was named for its
manufacturing mannequins decades
ago. Presently, it’s a slickware hacking
platform used for corporate
espionage. Potential agents only
arrive and leave via special docks to
avoid being compromised. Agents can
accept jobs on a sliding scale of pay
vs. risk. Agents never know what or
from whom they are stealing, the
slickware creates little scenarios like
“Get the Jewel (Data File) from the
Dragon (corporate security
measures.)”
The screams are from failures who,
risk-dependent, are panicking or
having a heart attack.

Perpetually shuf�ed between spaces,

factory station running and the staff
there have a nice barter ring: The Lost

materials for things found amongst the
station’s crannies. You can buy almost
anything here (+25% markup if
paying with credits.)
Despite bartering for almost
everything, Engineering always comes
in exactly at their annual budget.
Relatedly, many engineers hold some
of the Spike’s nicest living quarters
and Station Engineer is one of the
most highly sought after positions.
Fabian Marlow
Community Leader
Wants: To continue quietly having a
hold on the SDSF market
Fabian, running out of storage in an
increasingly undervalued department,
learned he could of�oad some stuff
they weren’t using. The higher-ups tried
to shut it down but were mysteriously
silenced. Now he runs a pretty
elaborate racket and, like any good
gangster, runs numerous well-funded
community welfare programs. Many call
him ‘the Mayor of SDSF’—and Sineto
executives don’t mind, after all, he’s
basically running the station for free.

Poker has a stranglehold as The Sineto

ongoing league and leaderboard are
the talk of many factory workers. One
week each Earth-year, the station
practically shuts down for the annual

These sisters bought their shop after
years of running a similar operation
from their living quarters.
53
Bethel

Cyberware Engineer

Wants: To become the leading

authority and innovator of Cyberware

Called “the metal head” by her siblings

in part because she handles most of the
shop’s tech repairs and her head is
certainly a majority metal by weight at
this point. She is typically found with a
soldering gun at her workbench,
sleeping at her workbench with the
soldering gun still on (Are you trying to
kill us all?), or consulting on an
operation with Zorka, though working
on people is more stressful as mistakes
generally can’t simply be undone. In her
spare time, she’s trying out how
different components interact- thus the
unique array of cyberware currently
operating on her person. Bethel is
permanently banned from The Silver
Lion, after not losing a single hand in a
high-stakes poker tournament.
Relatedly, she owns and operates a
merchant �eet.
Skills: Cybernetics and Jury-Rigging
Zorka
Cyberware Surgeon
Wants: To move to a private clinic, to
work for 5 minutes in peace
The surgeon and only person Bethel is
comfortable making jokes to, to her
chagrin and joy. Zorka works on clients
whose Cyberware can’t be removed
without endangering their well-being.
Hers and Aletta’s relationship is easy
personally though somewhat strained
professionally, as Aletta tends to
oversell abilities and undersell prices.
Zorka is usually found in her operating
area, where “you better not bother me
unless the atmosphere is on fucking �re,
got it?” Unbeknownst to her sisters,
Zorka performs clandestine surgeries on
those who can’t go to the hospital,
typically gang members, making her
somewhat of a vital part of the
Engineering Department and various
corporate sneaks. Zorka is also
something of a minor celebrity, having
dated several Sineto higher-ups.

Skills: Surgery, Field medicine and

Rimwise.

Aletta
Manager of BZA
Wants: To spend more time not
working with her sisters, to expand her
current investments
BZA’s face, Aletta handles the shop’s
sales and management. Keeps her sister
placated with the expensive and often
rare tech necessary for their jobs while
keeping the shop running. Aletta has
more patience for Bethel’s lengthy
technical explanations than Zorka, as
she must sell to people regardless of
tech savvy. Most importantly, Bethel
tends to confound all but the most tech
savvy clientele—in which case she is
sure to make the sale. Aletta is usually
perched behind her of�ce credit
register, expertly juggling vendors, or
having a drink with her sister(s) when
she cajoles them into joining. If you
need something Aletta can probably
locate it (given time and money.)

FAQs on The Creeping
Perforation and the Activated
1. Couldn’t the Activated live
symbiotically with a breathing
human? Yes, but a human
breathing in their face is like
eating a quarter of a potato chip
and they are violently hungry.
2. Would an Activated try to eat
plastics, steel, diamonds or any
other tough material containing
carbon? They may try but
quickly give up, they still have
the basic human physiology and
can’t bite through strong
materials. They could swallow
these things and possibly die,
however.
3. How and why does an Activated
become a Silver�sh Hybrid or
Swarm? By eating carbon but
they are limited by how much
they can physically consume. It
generally takes 3-5 days of
eating to transform. The parasite
decides to either seal itself in
mutating its host into a Hybrid
or uses the host to produce a
Swarm, which burrows out,
leaving many holes.
4. Can the infected be treated by
performing brain surgery to
remove the parasite? Yes, if
successful an infected person
would fully recover hours after
the removal. Removing an
Activated’s parasite kills them.
5. How does a Coal Shade infect
someone with a parasite? Coal
Shades represent the parasites’
pure psychic energy. The
Shades’ dust, when introduced
to a biological creature, infects
and grows into a parasite within
the subject’s brain.

 The Adventures of
Space Lieutenant
#1 The Fallen Colonel
A soldier and galactic hero is court-martialed for a crime he didn’t commit, busted
all the way down to Lieutenant and sent to a desolate desert world on the outer
rim.
#2 The Desert Doth Dance
Space Lieutenant investigates hypnotic lights in the desert luring away a village’s
goat-pigs in the night. The livestock return with different brands each morning.
Then, brands start appearing on Space Lieutenant.
#3 A Date with a Dashing Lad
Space Lieutenant meets a Dashing Lad who takes him on a thrilling motorcycle
ride—interrupted by Space Lieutenant’s ex-wife & ex-comrade, Delilah, who has a
dubious offer to help.
#4 Digging Up Old Corpses
Space Lieutenant and Dashing Lad board Delilah’s ship and their budding
relationship is put in an awkward position. Space Lieutenant learns the surprising
reason Delilah was dishonorably discharged: to save his life by abandoning her
post.

#5 The Mutual Murder

Delilah takes Space Lieutenant to an old contact of hers who claims to know who
got him court-martialed but it’s a setup to make it appear the ex-couple killed one
another. In a moment of desperation, Delilah and Space Lieutenant share a kiss.
Dashing Lad saves the day by running over everyone with his motorcycle
#6 The First Lead
After interrogating the traitor, the gang learns that a major arms dealer in the
sector, Starpoly, has been paying off military members to take on mercenary
contracts. Delilah and Space Lieutenant poorly attempt to reconcile their feelings. Is
it the ever-tempting pull of familiarity or feelings truly rekindled?
#7 Starpoly Strategic Solutions
Space Lieutenant can’t get past Starpoly’s lobby but runs into a colleague, Star
Captain, who is also investigating the company. A mysterious marketing director
offers them a sponsorship. Dashing Lad makes breakfast.
#8 The Alien That Ate Exactly One Thing
Fresh off a new sponsorship and delicious breakfast, Space Lieutenant and Star
Captain must investigate some property destruction by an alien seen eating
exactly one thing. What was the thing? Was it important? I know it probably wasn’t
but what if it was?!?
#9 Matters Into Her Own Hands
Delilah, bored and unimpressed by Space Lieutenant’s willingness and alacrity to
sell out, breaks into the local Starpoly of�ce and makes a horrifying discovery.
Space Lieutenant and Dashing Lad take some much-needed alone time.

66
#10 The Required Request
Delilah is unsure how to tell Space Lieutenant what she found. Space Lieutenant is
approached by the Starpoly marketing director again and must �lm himself taking
down a local gang with Starpoly products and work the phrase “Starpoly is my
literal brother'' at least 14 times into ‘natural’ dialogue, receiving an electric shock
each time it isn’t.
#11 Flight Makes Right
Space Lieutenant is surprised to be in hyperspace when awakening. Delilah
explains, very vaguely, that there was trouble and they needed to �ee the planet.
Space Lieutenant’s video becomes extremely popular and Starpoly sends him a
multi-million credit royalty payment. Delilah’s ship is boarded by bounty hunters,
pursuing a Starpoly bounty.
#12 The Double Deal
Space Lieutenant, incensed, contacts Starpoly and demands they clear Delilah’s
bounty. They promise to do so and send an even larger payment on two conditions:
1. Do not approach Starpoly unless contacted. 2. Assassinate Star Captain.
Dashing Lad teaches Delilah how to make Creme Brulee.
#13 Tough Call
Arriving at their next destination, Astra Blue Tango, Space Lieutenant calls Star
Captain for backup, unsure if he will act on Starpoly’s order or warn his comrade.
Doing this would gain a lot of trust with Starpoly but assassinating a fellow of�cer
is a capital crime. Dashing Lad �nds a perfect tapestry for Delilah’s quarters at the
market.
#14 The Grass Is Alway Bluer
Space Lieutenant learns the hard way that beneath Astra Blue Tango’s mercantile
veneer is a criminal element with a chokehold on the free market. Delilah receives
a mysterious message and is surprised with a romantic pasta dinner with Dashing
Lad.
#15 The Tantalizing Tango
After interrogating the traitor, the gang learns that a major arms dealer in the
sector, Starpoly, has been paying off military members to take on mercenary
contracts. Delilah and Space Lieutenant poorly attempt to reconcile their feelings. Is
it the ever-tempting pull of familiarity or feelings truly rekindled?

#16 Tomb and Board

After attending Star Captain’s fake military funeral, Space Lieutenant goes to
meet with the Starpoly board member, a schemer named Buffson. They ask Space
Lieutenant to retrieve the belt buckle of Starpoly’s late founder, whose massive
tomb monolith is crawling with would-be looters and traps.
#17 The Fallen Star
Relieved of her identity and military rank, Star Captain, now Absent Linda,
in�ltrates Starpoly as a factory worker. She recovers critical information from the
company’s servers but is accosted by a shadowy agent who wrests the data stick
from her possession

67
#18 The Lowdown
Absent Linda shares what she can remember from Starpoly with the gang but lacks
evidence: someone took out a contract through Starpoly to frame Space Lieutenant.
Delilah �nally shares what she had learned: Starpoly is growing multiple Space
Lieutenant clones for an unknown purpose. Dashing Lad suggests polyamory, the
group discusses and decides to keep things casual—for now.
#19 BOUM BOOM
Buffson contacts Space Lieutenant to let him know he should expect a package. It is
clearly a bomb, the magnitude of which is unknown. Buffson sends a code with
which the bomb of unknown magnitude can be detonated and threatens the crew if
they fail to transmit it. The crew takes off in the cover of darkness.
#20 The Avaricious Tuna of Avactron VIII
Delilah secretly transmits the code to protect the others, destroying Astra Blue
Tango and its citizens. Space Lieutenant gets a mission from his military superiors:
destroy or bring back into the fold a Tunanoid separatist planet whose �shy king
presently sits on a several kiloton throne of Imperial gold. Dashing Lad makes sushi
in a staggering faux pas.
#21 Dashing Mad
After escaping the Tuna King’s scaly clutches, the crew becomes suspicious Dashing
Lad is like a professional chef, despite apparently being a Desert Motorcycle Lad.
It also seems strange that he is so eager to hook up with everyone, not that it’s
wrong, just like, it’s weird that he’s the axis of all the hooking up, right? When the
crew casually confronts Dashing Lad, he pulls a gun on them.
#22 Dashing Gent
Dashing Lad tears off his Desert Motorcycle clothes to reveal a tuxedo, revealing
his true identity: Dashing Gent. Dashing Gent is a Starpoly middle manager sent to
in�ltrate Space Lieutenant’s life and keep an eye on him. After Delilah appeared
in some security footage, he needed to know what she’d learned. He also reported
Absent Linda’s lack of death and took her data. Space Lieutenant shoots Dashing
Gent, attempting to arrest him but he escapes on his motorcycle, which enters
hyperspace.

#23 The Search: Part I

Dashing Gent could have only gone a short distance, so the gang splits up to �nd
him. Absent Linda goes to a nearby asteroid mining facility. She �nds a
cumberbund and ventures into the mine but is suddenly engulfed in strange energy.
#24 The Search: Part II
Delilah heads to the nearest population center, an unnamed agricultural planet,
asking around about Dashing Gent. She locates his motorcycle but learns he
recently left the planet on an alien ship. Delilah is accosted by bounty hunters who
don’t know her bounty was cleared. She kills them in self-defense but is now
wanted for murder by planetary authorities.
#25 The Search: Part III
Space Lieutenant, en route to the unnamed agricultural world, has his ship attacked
by the Glorious Shimmering Vessel of the Tuna King. Space Lieutenant boards the
vessel and stabs the Tuna King, who tells Space Lieutenant that Dashing Gent is
hiding aboard the ship. Space Lieutenant captures Dashing Gent but the Tuna King
escapes in the process.

68
#26 Dash No More
Now Space Lieutenant’s prisoner, Dashing Gent tells him everything he knows:
someone at Starpoly took out the contract to set Space Lieutenant up to be
demoted but he doesn’t know who. Space Lieutenant offers Dashing Gent his
royalty payments in exchange for snooping around Starpoly… and never seeing
him again—on pain of death.

#27 The Derelict

With all of his former companions gone or missing, Space Lieutenant wanders his
ship, The Silver Bar, remembering the �rst time he met Delilah and Absent Linda,
respectively. Delilah, on a combat tour in a village on Kezz 16. Absent Linda, when
she trounced him in the of�cer’s combination �st�ghting and bass �shing
competitions. A ship collides with The Silver Bar and, being unable to raise them,
Space Lieutenant boards to investigate.
#28 Shadows Around Every Corner

ship, The Silver Bar, remembering the �rst time he met Delilah and Absent Linda,

she trounced him in the of�cer’s combination �st�ghting and bass �shing
competitions. A ship collides with The Silver Bar and, being unable to raise them,
Space Lieutenant boards to investigate.
#29 The Risen Heir
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sarcophagus opens and someone pops out. Perhaps
surprisingly, they are a stunningly attractive individual in resplendent garb:
Aphareos. They claim they're the heir of a galactic kingdom and request Space
Lieutenant's assistance in reclaiming their throne. Space Lieutenant can’t help but
notice Aphareos is MAKING. IT. WORK.
#30 Alliance
After many trysts, Space Lieutenant agrees to assist Aphareos restore their empire,
embarking to Aphareos’ home planet. There they witness an unknown corporation’s
oppression of the alien race. In a daring raid, they free a slave camp and make
new allies. But do they have what it takes to free the planet?
#31 Dubious Alliance
Narrowly escaping capture and starting the embers of rebellion. The new couple
must �nd resources to support a weak resistance. The Space Lieutenant turns to an
unlikely, and perhaps corrupt, organization to fund and supply the rebellion.
#32 Lotus Flower and the Lily pad
After securing the resources and support of Starploy to restore Aphareos’s
kingdom. The couple escapes to a swampy resort planet—which contains a terrible
secret imperiling the couple. Dashing Gent rides in and saves the couple from the
amphibian predators, only to disappear into the starset.
#33 Simian Sidekicks
The couple crash lands onto an alien world and primate residents quickly imprison
them. Space Lieutenant impresses them with feats of strength and they join
Aphareos’ cause. Space Lieutenant receives a call from Dashing Gent, saying he’s
found something on Starpoly but must speak in person to avoid detection. Space
Lieutenant temporarily lifts his threat.

69
#34 The Meetup
Space Lieutenant meets up with Dashing Gent, at a swanky space diner, to
converse about Starpoly’s secrets. It seems that the original plan was to kill Space
Lieutenant and replace him with several clones but Buffson intervened for unknown
reasons. Dashing Gent is also upset to learn of his new alliance with Starpoly. They
make up under alien moonlight—breeding distrust between Space Lieutenant and
Aphareos.
#35 Very Long-distance
Aphareos needs some space and returns, with the primate army, to their home
planet. Space Lieutenant returns to his military duties, with secrets and a broken
heart. Is there anyone he can trust? This comic's readers wonder about, like, the
other characters?
#36 A Mutt Above
Space Lieutenant adopts a military dog named ‘Cadaver K9.’ There is more to this
dog than expected as it is trained in the use of most military weaponry and is non-
organic. Space Lieutenant's mind starts to clear away from the alien's presence.
Was Aphareos in�uencing him somehow?
#37 Epic Doggo Battles
Learning Cadaver K9 is an experimental military android pupper, they go on their
�rst real mission. The military sends them to a planet to squash terrorists. Epic
battles and friendship ensue. Space Lieutenant is captured by the terrorists. Can he
survive his imprisonment? Will Cadaver K9 be able to save him?
#38 Oh Great, Another Faction
Space Lieutenant meets “Renovatio” the terrorist organization’s, leader. Learns they
are, in fact, trying to restore their home planet’s sovereignty. Sympathetic Space
Lieutenant arranges a meeting between Starpoly, Aphareos and Renovatio for a
potential alliance.
#39 Grounded, Webbed, and Depressed
After fomenting rebellion almost literally everywhere he has gone, the military
con�scates The Silver Bar and grounds Space Lieutenant on a remote arachnid
planet. In its periodic recitations of all in the galaxy who have passed in the past
Earthmonth, Cadaver K9 lists Delilah and Absent Linda as gone. Space Lieutenant,
having been forced to forget about them due to Aphareos’ presence, is
overwrought with grief.
#40 What a Tangled Web We Grieve, When at First We Practice to
Bereave
Space Lieutenant drowns his complicated life in booze and spider bondage.
Meanwhile, as he attempts to forget, dark forces start making their moves in the
shadows. Multiple hitherto unknown agents are all spying on Space Lieutenant
wherever he goes and give ominous, out-of-context reports to unknown recipients.
#41 ♪♪Shawna♪♪
Recovering from a hangover and a rough night with the dom, Daddy Long Legs,
Space Lieutenant meets a nice girl named Shawna, who makes him feel, just brie�y,
like there’s hope for him. Malevolent forces start setting their traps.
#42 Moving Way Too Fast
Space Lieutenant falls head over heels for Shawna—like he is going 100 and
really needs to take this at like 25. Ya just lost basically everyone you ever loved
bro, take a step back. Cadaver K9, investigating a potential intruder, is abducted.

70
#43 The Empty Bed
After a week of shacking up with Shawna, Space Lieutenant wakes up to an empty
bed and realizes Cadaver K9 is missing. In a daze, he fails to locate Shawna.
Shawna goes to Starpoly’s headquarters to present Space Lieutenant’s fully
sequenced DNA for their dark plans. A mysterious �eet of ships begin bombarding
the planet.
#44 Zapback Part I
After Absent Linda was struck by the strange energy, she was found by miners who
took her, barely breathing, to a Starpoly owned hospital. Once personnel there
realized who she was, she was instantly given �rst-class priority treatment. She was
then brainwashed to become a Starpoly spy, with a new identity: Shawna.
#45 Zapback Part II
Delilah is imprisoned and awaiting a death sentence when an explosion rocks the
cell. An extremely beautiful individual helps her up. They introduce themselves as
‘Renovatio’ and Delilah is somewhat taken aback by her attraction. Now wanted by
galactic authorities for prison escape and fraternizing with terrorists, Delilah
assumes the alias, Secret Delilah.
#46 Dashing Gent Won’t Repent
Starpoly puts their clones into action and Dashing Gent is on the run, having been
exposed as a spy. Space Lieutenant’s clones do not seem to raise suspicion within
the military. One of them catches up to Dashing Gent and they hook up. Dashing
Gent comes to a dark realization and commits a gut-wrenching action.
#47 False Rescue
After Dashing Gent kills the clone, he races off to �nd and warn the genuine
article. Space Lieutenant and Cadaver K9, inexplicably reunited off-panel, search
relentlessly for escape pods to escape the besieged arachnid planet. One military
pod contains a Space Lieutenant clone who tricks evacuees and Cadaver K9 into
joining it—but somehow avoided Space Lieutenant himself? Like he was right there,
running around. Boggles the mind.
#48 The False Lieutenant
Starpoly orders the clone to �nd and kill Space Lieutenant. The clone also kills
fellow military of�cers and attempts to kill Cadaver K9, who escapes unharmed,
you monster. The clone �nds Space Lieutenant, who is waiting, upon seeing Space
Lieutenant in his dudoir, the clone is immediately seduced. Dashing Gent tracks
them down. When he arrives, he watches as Space Lieutenant kills his clone.
#49 The Kaleidoscopic
Space Lieutenant, �eeing Starpoly and his clones, fabricates a military identity for
Dashing Gent (now Sar Gent). They join forces with Cadaver K9 to hunt down the
clones. Shawna collapses from the energy force inside her, reacting to Starpoly’s
aggressive brainwashing. She goes on a meta-cosmic adventure in her mind where
she meets an entity called The Kaleidoscopic, a hive mind that will not only help her
raise and manipulate her consciousness and physical form, as well as understanding
the consciousness of the universe.
#50 Council of Free Planets
Secret Delilah is taken to a strange but safe planet, where she meets the alluring
alien Aphareos. Every moment spent with Aphareos, only makes Secret Delilah feel
more enamored. Renavatio and Aphareos bring Delilah into the fold of the Council
of Free Planets to free and bring fair relations between independent planets.
Secret Delilah agrees and they start making ambitious plans. She is gleefully
unaware of Starpoly’s involvement and funding.

71
#51 Assimilation and Cloaking
Space Lieutenant with his crew, on a stroke of luck, discovers a clone’s location
while intercepting a military communication. In a humorous comedy of errors, the
team chases down the clone and accidentally kills him. Starpoly informants are
watching nearby, watching, studying, informing. Shawna accidentally kills a doctor
attending to her and hides her body. Using the Kaleidoscopic she assumes the
doctor’s identity and downloads all of her memories and knowledge.
#52 False Flags and Military Drags
To throw Space Lieutenant off their scent, Starpoly commands one of their clones to
frame him for sabotage and then scram, see? Space Lieutenant gets arrested and
court-martialed once again. Cadaver K9 and Sar Gent fail to �nd the responsible
clone. Space Lieutenant is let off on a technicality. Delilah and Aphareos reach out
to other occupied planets, hitting roadblocks. Will the planets join them or betray
them and turn them in to the authorities?
#53 Space Octopus Part 1
A giant space octopus and its cuttle�sh minions threaten an agricultural moon
colony. Space Lieutenant is called on by the military to help evacuate as many
people and resources as possible. Cadaver K9 and Sar Gent are craving some
calamari.
#54 Space Octopus 2: The Devouring
The cuttle�sh minions have overrun many farm communes and have performed the
rituals making the moon ready for the devouring. All seems lost as the Space
Lieutenant and Cadaver K9 try to get the farmers and crops off the moon. Sar
Gent searches frantically for his grandmother’s calamari sauce recipe.
#55 Huh...
After devouring the moon, the space octopus anti-climatically gets sucked into the
satellite's gas giant, dying almost instantly. Everyone's a little disappointed—but I
guess we survived? But there are other space octopi in space’s in�nite, unknowable
depths, am I right? Space Lieutenant requests a demolition crew to harvest the
Space Octopus for food. Cadaver K9 and Sar Gent �nally eat calamari. Absent
Linda uses the Kaleidoscopic to assume an important Starpoly executive’s identity.
She rushes to �nd Starpoly’s plans and secrets.
#56 With friends like that, who needs armed enemy militants?
Space Lieutenant et al go to a coal mining planet to put down a worker uprising,
unaware this is Secret Delilah and the Council of Free Planet’s latest project. During
battle SL, Sar Gent and Secret Delilah freeze and make awkward eye contact.
They kind of move off to the side and catch up. Delilah learns she is currently being
funded by Starpoly and hopes to use this information to her advantage. Cadaver
K9 puts down the rebellion single-pawed-ly because he doesn’t believe in unions.
#57 Space Fascists
Space Lieutenant, Sar Gent, and K9 gratuitously trounce space fascists. Why?
Because fuck space fascists.
#58 Fudging the books
Space Lieutenant and Sar Gent take some much-needed alone time. Secret Delilah
“fudges'' the books by claiming to order “military fudge” that keeps soldiers
awake and hostile. She funnels that money to weapons Starpoly won’t seem to let
them have and an escape plan if she needs.

72
#59 Shawna, you better work!
As a Starpoly executive, Shawna uncovers a lot of plans, that Space Lieutenant's
clones are in play and their apparent association with Aphareos. Something bigger
is happening but, what? Also, this executive whose form Shawna is currently in has
kids? How was this not at the front of their mind when she downloaded their
thoughts?
#60 Secret Delilah in for the win
Using the new weapons she scammed off Starpoly, Secret Delilah decimates
dozens of planets’ many military holdings, freeing them and bringing them into the
Council of Free Planets. Space Lieutenant is immediately alerted about this new,
terrifying threat.
#61 The Conference
Space Lieutenant and crew are invited to a military of�cers conference discussing
recent losses. They are wondering if anyone has information on The Council of Free
Planets or how they got these weapons. Space Lieutenant and Sar Gent slump
uncomfortably. The military hands out assignments to retake these planets and
double their recruitment—recruiting from the non-human population for the �rst
time in (human) military history.
#62 The Questioning
In the middle of their alone time, Delilah and Aphareos are interrupted by a
military leader. Starpoly has questions about their recent activities. Secret Delilah
hasn’t been subtle as she thought. Secret Delilah brainwashes the Starpoly
representative, using their technology, to report back nothing suspicious is going on
and all the military fudge is present and accounted for.
#63 Recruitment Arms Race
The military and the Council of Free Planets compete to recruit as many alien
planets as imaginable. Tensions heighten as negotiations continue. Secret Delilah,
Aphareos and the Space Lieutenant come to a crossroads in their relationships.
#64 Recruitment Arms Race
With the galaxy dividing in half, there has never been more pressure on Shawna.
She uses her persona as a Starpoly executive to attempt negotiating peace.
Despite her efforts, much bloodshed occurs. In a moment of separation from the
Kaleidoscopic, she reveals herself to Sar Gent and Secret Delilah.
#65 Escalation
The military and the Council of Free Planets are in total war. Secret Delilah, with
Aphareos, orders dozens of the military’s home planets destruction. Space
Lieutenant must defend his home planet from his past lovers. The rubicon is crossed
and any familial feelings are done. A Space Lieutenant clone attempts to misdirect
the military to win the battle for the Council..

#66 Hoodwinked in Hyperspace

After tricking Space Lieutenant into taking a journey thousands of parsecs away,
Aphareos orders a Space Lieutenant clone they now control to lead the military
into a trap. The military is devastated and loses hundreds of systems to the Council
of Free Planets. Aphareos buys a majority stake in Starpoly, despite their partner’s
distrust of the company. This causes Secret Delilah to begin coming out of the haze
of Aphareos’ mind control.

73
#67 Space Turtles and the Tuna King
Space Lieutenant attempts a dangerous and hitherto unattempted hyperspace run.
Cadaver K9 and his unit defend against the oncoming enemy. Sar Gent runs some
people over with his motorcycle. The Tuna King returns with space turtles and some
space octopi, routing the Council forces. The Tuna King forgives Sar Gent for
making sushi and they ally.
#68 The Tuna-ing Point
With the Tuna King and his space turtles/octopi allied to Space Lieutenant, they
make progress in the war. Secret Delilah realizes the war’s cost being allied with
Aphareos and Starploy but plans to use it to her advantage. She continues to scam
both by using their unapologetically capitalist ways against them.
#69 Haha, Nice
Space Lieutenant, Sar Gent, Aphareos and Delilah are indisposed with their
partners. Shawna makes her Starpoly executive persona take a sabbatical. Further
unlocking her power, she uses The Kaleidoscopic to take the identity of both sides’
military generals to end the con�ict.
#70 I’ll “Cease Fire” When I’m Dead
A mysterious cease-�re is called by both sides’ military leaders. Cadaver K9
somehow ambushes Aphareos and they keep shooting despite the cease�re.
Cornered, Aphareos reveals their true, horrifying alien form and Cadaver K9 is
mortally wounded, saying “You can’t stop capitalism, bro-tato.” Then lists all who
have passed in the galaxy in the past Earthmonth and, at the end, Cadaver K9 lists
its own name, in accordance with prophecy.

#71 Imploding
Having to maintain multiple personas’ identities and memories, Shawna starts
mixing up memories and identities. Her body begins mutating randomly and she
collapses. She is on another meta-cosmic journey with The Kaleidoscopic. She
witnesses the war’s many present and future horrors. The Kaleidoscopic grants her
a new ability, manipulating physical objects. However, using it comes at a cost.

#72 A Daring Assassination

With the cease�re still in effect, Space Lieutenant tracks Cadaver K9’s last known
signature: at Aphareos’ hideout. With the Tuna King’s help, who approaches under
the guise of wanting to switch sides, Space Lieutenant sneaks to Aphareos’
quarters—where Secret Delilah has just �nished murdering them.
#73 A Narrow Escape
Unfortunately, Aphareos had some kind of dead man’s switch and the base begins
self-destructing. Secret Delilah and Space Lieutenant race to recover Cadaver K9’s
remains while discussing the disparate dynamic in their current and former
relationship while also slaying the facility’s many primate guards. The facility
nearly collapses on them but they miraculously reach the Tuna King’s ship.

remains while discussing the disparate dynamic in their current and former
relationship while also slaying the facility’s many primate guards. The facility
nearly collapses on them but they miraculously reach the Tuna King’s ship.
#74 After the War, the War was a Problem
Starpoly craters overnight as most of its assets vanish with its alien CEO, putting
hundreds of millions out of work. Both sides’ shattered militaries attempt an uneasy
peace to collaboratively rebuild but word of armistice doesn’t travel quickly
enough and �ghting continues in some locales. Some exploit the chaos and others
lend a helping hand. To (no-longer Secret) Delilah’s surprise, Space Lieutenant,
previously an unapologetic capitalist and opportunist, starts helping victims and
refugees.
#75 One Year Later
A year after the war, there’s still much to be done. Space Lieutenant and Delilah,
now good friends, head relief efforts. Space Lieutenant proposes marriage to
Dashing Gent by doing several dramatic �ips between horse-drawn carriages.
Dashing Gent accepts. We see Cadaver K9’s tomb and his broken body atop an
altar, his eyes suddenly glow red.

#76 The Cosmic Prison

The Kaleidoscopic sends Shawna for what seems like an eternity in a cosmic prison
for using her powers to temporarily delay Aphareos’ Base’s collapse preventing
Space Lieutenant and Delilah’s deaths. She encounters versions of herself and
others who have interacted with the Kaleidoscopic. She teaches them things or they
teach her things. Then someone unexpected comes to take her place: former
Starpoly Exec, Buffson.
#77 Heating Up
The Kaleidoscopic and Shawna begin a tense renewed relationship, to bring
enlightenment and order back to the star systems, organizing mutualist planetary
communes. Delilah and Space Lieutenant struggle to maintain humanitarian efforts
as organized crime and corruption run rampant. Cadaver K9 modi�es his
programming to fuel his power and hate.

#78 The Simmering

Cadaver K9 makes his executive chip into a virus taking control of any android he
connects with. He starts an android gang on the planet Maleos. Space Lieutenant
and Delilah get overrun by crime families and must take survivors into hiding.
#79 Boiling over
Cadaver K9 starts making his virus widespread beneath biological beings’ notice.
He integrates his android army and starts quietly strong-arming planets under his
in�uence. Space Lieutenant and Delilah run out of ammo and await death as the
crime organizations close. Suddenly, audible screams and warfare outside their
hiding place. They witness Shawna wielding a �ying sword laying waste to the
enemy. She says she is an ally and wishes to bring peace to the universe.

Cadaver K9 starts allying with other organized criminals to secure cheap resources
and control. He starts wearing suits and calling everyone “Ol’ sport.” Androids
begin killing biological beings and unions questioning their reign. Cadaver K9
writes an android manifesto declaring android superiority.

#81 The Friend of my Friend is my Enemy... Right?

Shawna takes Space Lieutenant, Dashing Gent and Delilah to one of her mutualist
communes. She reveals androids taking power and killing biological beings and
organized crime is heavily intertwined. As they meet, androids—there to put down
pro-unionists—attack their encampment. Space Lieutenant learns a friend lives but
threatens the lives of all he loves.

#82 Space Wedding

After defeating the android army, Space Lieutenant and Dashing Gent decide to
marry immediately. The commune helps to make every detail perfect. They wed
under a sunset and dance all night. It seems perfect, then alien ships arrive at
sunrise.
#83 New Allies
The Intergalactic Labor Syndicate emerges from the ships. They are a powerful
worker-run syndicate. Cadaver K9 has been hostile to their pro-union attitudes and
thus they want to work with his enemies. Space Lieutenant and the Syndicate ally.
Cadaver K9 swims in a pile of gold coins ordering androids to round up and force
work on biological populations. The gold could be used to make more circuitry for
more androids and the android henchman side-eye each other signi�cantly.

#84 Honey Moon and Blood Moon

Space Lieutenant and Dashing Gent go on a beach planet honeymoon. Delilah,
Shawna and the Syndicate try to free an alien work camp under a blood moon.
They are defeated and many aliens die. Shawna decides to undergo excruciating
pain to use the Kaleidoscopic to split her physical form to begin a larger resistance
#85 K9 Chaos
Cadaver K9 continues massacring any biological opposition. He maintains an
oppressive regime to keep everyone in line as he and his criminal allies make
money hand over �st. An incarnation of Shawna gets killed and in response, the
Kaleidoscopic sends waves of pain throughout the universe. Space Lieutenant and
Dashing Gent end their honeymoon early to return to the war effort.

#86 The Tuna-ing Point 2

The Tuna King returns to help Space Lieutenant, riding with his space octopi. His
assistance seems to be little help against the android army... until his space electric
eels come in and short circuit all androids and their ships. Those retreating are able
to pick off many of the eels as they reverse expeditiously away. After the battle
the Tuna King shows subservience to Shawna and the Kaleidoscopic in their mission
to unite the universe, removing his gorgeous crown.
#87 The Avaricious Android Dog of Maleos
Cadaver K9’s greed becomes all-consuming with megatons of precious metal and
jewels utilizing building a stunning and terrifying �agship: the Bite Makes Right. His
strange ways are now running almost directly counter to his android army’s
programming, who are starting to get discontented. An in�ltrator Shawna Android
starts stirring that pot.
76
#88 “Negotiations”
Space Lieutenant, being perhaps Cadaver K9’s only friend, attempts contact but
his ship is attacked by the unspeakably enormous gold-plated Bite Makes Right.
No- bigger than that. Still bigger. Think like 4x bigger than what you are
imagining. There you go. Space Lieutenant is captured and brought to Cadaver K9,
who spares his life for not being a union member and then has him transmit a
staggering peace offer, one that would make life for organic beings nearly
impossible..

#89 FIG
The rest of the gang receives Cadaver K9’s offer and are suitably staggered, also
learning Space Lieutenant is being held captive. They begin forming a plan to
reach out to the fragments of the former military, �nally reaching their current
commander, a frog-type alien who rose through the ranks named Freppy Ieeppy
Givemesomesleppy—FIG for short, who will bring a mighty �eet to assault the
golden monstrosity.
#90 Wheels Up
The military remnants arrive at the commune. Meeting FIG, Dashing Gent has a
craving for frog legs and weeps for his evil android dog friend who must be
feeling the same. The Tuna King replaces Buffson in the Kaleidoscopic’s Cosmic
Prison. Buffson concocts a Reality Nuke, which could return all the ore used in
creating the Bite Makes Right to their planets of origin, IF detonated at the exact
center of the vessel.
#91 One was a Salted- Part 1
The rebels begin attacking the Bite Makes Right but quickly sustain heavy losses
due to terrifying new weapons, including a seemingly endless robotic �ghter �eet
and sonic weapons that somehow still work in space. FIG pulls all ships out of the
�ghters’ range to reevaluate. Space Lieutenant breaks out of his prison cell.
#92 One was a Salted- Part 2
As Space Lieutenant makes his way through the gilded corridors, he is stopped by
someone familiar: a Shawna Android. She tells Space Lieutenant she was able to
get the Androids to strike and stop working for Cadaver K9 but all of the ship’s
systems are automated and connected to Cadaver K9’s hardware. Fortunately,
Cadaver K9 didn’t notice or care that his android army struck, due to his anti-union
sentiments not recognizing striking as a valid form of protest.
#93 One was a Salted- Part 3
Shawna can cloak a small vessel to get aboard the Bite Makes Right, so Buffson,
Dashing Gent, Delilah, FIG and a rando named Marvin all board a small shuttle.
Shawna uses the full extent of her Kaleidoscopic powers and the team is able to
get onto the Bite Makes Right but this Shawna dies from so much un�ltered cosmic
energy entering her body. The team navigates the many traps in the corridors
while transporting the Reality Nuke. They also encounter many shut down (striking)
androids.
#94 One was a Salted- Part 4
Space Lieutenant and Android Shawna make their way to the core of Bite Makes
Right where Cadaver K9 has made himself Opulent, Gigantic, and Nigh Invincible.
Space Lieutenant tricks Cadaver K9 into destroying itself by convincing him that his
vile scheme is actually pro-union vis-a-vis improving working and living conditions
by organizing the android workforce (albeit with extreme hostility) achieving this
with the power of the collective. The rest of the gang enter the room with the
Reality Nuke shortly after.

77
#95 One was a Salted- Part 5
Everyone debates whether the Reality Nuke should be deployed. Buffson argues
that Bite Makes Right could be used to keep the peace in the galaxy for millennia
untold with its state-of-the-art design. Dashing Gent, ever the corporate bootlicker,
agrees. Delilah posits that the ship’s materials could be used to reset the social
balance. FIG—oppressed most of their life as a non-human—sides with Delilah in
hopes of an egalitarian society for all species. Android Shawna advocates for
detonating the Reality Nuke, so she and those working with The Kaleidoscopic can
begin rebalancing the galaxy. Space Lieutenant agrees but on the grounds such a
horrible weapon should be entirely destroyed. The tie-breaking vote goes to the
rando Marvin who, up to this point, hasn't had one word of dialogue in this series.
#96 The Aftermath- Part 1: Fates Kaleid
Android Shawna and Buffson rejoin The Kaleidoscopic in its realm where the Tuna
King also is. The Kaleidoscopic assumes a fractal humanoid form and explains why
it brought these three together for the good of the universe. It used the last of its
power to build up these three, the new Council of the Kaleidoscopic, to defend the
universe. Android Shawna is feeling fragmented, having been forced into so many
identities by others’ decisions. The Kaleidoscopic assures her: she has always been
who she was, is and will become. A Kaleidoscope may turn, change and shift but
the light remains the same.
#97 The Aftermath- Part 2: Hey th- *Author is shot repeatedly*
Delilah goes about her usual business �ghting the power, helping the weak and
taking matters into her own hands. In the following decades she becomes a
prominent political �gure and ends up with Renovatio, who supports her in every
way he can. Her reforms help improve life for the galaxy and everyone in it.
#98 The Aftermath- Part 3: Things Turn Out Okay for Two Kind of
Problematic People
FIG offers Space Lieutenant an opportunity to become Space General but he
declines and retires from the military to enjoy his marriage to Dashing Gent. FIG
also tells Space Lieutenant that they found who had betrayed him in the beginning
and shot them in the face. FIG refuses to elaborate on this and it’s honestly a bit
disappointing but, life is weird, right? Space Lieutenant, now Space Pensioner,
retires with Dashing Gent to the desert planet where they originally met, where
they drive motorcycles and live a healthy, happy life.
#99 Marvin, who has been here literally the entire time
We jump back to Marvin's decision on Bite Makes Right and he is revealed to be
Colonel Marvin. The gang has no idea who he is, even though he defended Space
Lieutenant in both court martials, assisted in almost literally every one of Space
Lieutenant's adventures and even of�ciated both of Space Lieutenant's weddings.
Colonel Marvin is mildly incensed at his lack of recognition and decides to deploy
the Reality Nuke and destroy the Bite Makes Right.
#100 The Aftermath- Part 4: Marvin, We Literally Didn’t Know Ye
Colonel Marvin, being a competent and diligent military of�cer, has intelligence on
which planets Cadaver K9 took over and sets up mining operations after the
Reality Nuke returns their ore. Miner Marvin proves too eager however, and
crashes the precious metals market, bankrupting himself but unintentionally helping
the rebuilding efforts more than any other entity. None of his friends contact him
after departing the Bite Makes Right.
