 BACKGROUND
GM Introduction
The Probe is an action-sci-fi-horror scenario set in
a dystopian future wracked by war. Playable in a
single session and designed with flexibility and
ease of integration in mind, you can run it as a
stand-alone adventure or adapt it to fit your post-
apocalyptic or sci-fi campaign.
The scenario is designed for three to six PCs (22 XP).
To facilitate a quick “pick-up-and-play” option,
character sheets for six PCs are provided at the end
of the document.
Everything that follows is for the GM’s eyes only. If
you want to be a player, stop reading now and ask
your favourite GM to run this adventure for you and
your group. You won’t regret it!
Words bolded like this refer to something that is
further explained somewhere else in the text. This
is one of the ways we try to make our scenarios as
easy as possible to use at the table.
A WORD ABOUT THE VIDEOS
Building on the success of the earlier scenario The
Watchers, the authors have produced original,
computer-generated artwork and videos of 3D
environments. In fact, a video recording captured
by a reconnaissance drone is a key element of the
introduction and is designed to set the stage for
the entire scenario. You’ll find YouTube links to the
videos throughout the adventure. Example:
https://youtu.be/EJZfUpzmMCw
The 3D animations were produced by an amateur
graphics designer using the Unreal Engine (UE5)
platform and various paid and publicly available 3D
assets. The images and videos are provided license-
free and free of charge. The video elements are
intended to augment the experience, and although
they are not strictly required to run the adventure,
they go a long way toward establishing the
ambience and atmosphere.
A WORD ABOUT THE TABLES
Pages 7 and 11 contain d6 roll tables. You are
welcome to roll on them, but this is not mandatory.
You can just pick a result you like, or discard one
you don’t like, or invent something else entirely.
They are there to give you options, so use them as
you wish!

Synopsis
The PCs are a group of resistance fighters from an
underground faction called The Unchained. They
fight against the corrupt governments of the world
by whatever means necessary. The pre-generated
PCs bring a mixed bag of experience and expertise
to the table. Some were born into the resistance
and others have joined more recently, bringing
with them their previous life experiences and skills.
They have been hastily gathered to embark on a
mission to secure an unknown weapon from an
abandoned military research lab in the Antarctic
wastes. Unbeknownst to the PC’s, the “weapon”
actually refers to an alien creature that was
recovered from a space probe and subsequently
cloned by the researchers at the lab. Now, the
clones are just waiting to be released so that they
can exact their revenge and sate their pent-up rage.
Running the Game
The Probe features several complicating factors that
stack the odds against the players…
Whether using the PCs provided or others, every PC
is given a secret agenda at the start of the
adventure. An agenda details something unique
about the PC which isn’t known by the others, a
secret goal or motivation that may create tension
and complicate matters in the endgame. The secret
agendas are given to the players in the form of
handouts (you’ll find them on the next page).
Distribute these after handing out the characters,
and before running the Player Introduction (pg. 5).
To complicate matters further, while the PCs have
decent weapons at their disposal (see pg. 6),
ammunition and grenades are scarce as The
Unchained must rely on whatever they can acquire
on the black market. This is represented on the
character sheets by ammunition dots (O). Players
must check off one dot each time they fire their
weapon. When all the dots are checked, they are
out of ammo.
Finally, while the PCs are somewhat equipped
militarily, they are not equipped mentally to deal
with relentless alien killing machines, and are likely
to succumb to Stress in the final scene. Stress is an
optional rule explained in Appendix A (pg. 13). It
adds a good dose of chaotic tension befitting the
genre, at the cost of a bit more modifier tracking.
 Secret Agendas
Before play, give each player one of the secret
agendas below. You can create paranoia by
handing them out openly, but only the player
should see the content of their agenda. It doesn’t
matter which PC gets which agenda. Instead, try to
match the agenda to the player according to their
“natural” style of play. If you have less than six
players, hand them out in the order below and
discard the rest. For example, if there are three
players you would hand out Destroy the Weapon,
Recover Alien Artifacts/ Samples and Double Agent.
Note re: Double Agent: Tell the player that it can
be assumed their PC is secretly reporting back to
the government using a secure channel. No need
to arouse suspicion from the other players by
pulling you aside or passing you secret notes IRL.
Secret Agenda: Double Agent
You are a deep cover agent within The Unchained,
secretly working for the government. Those recent
setbacks suffered by The Unchained? That’s you.
You’ve been instructed to report back to your base
as you approach your destination, to keep your
head down, and wait for reinforcements.
Secret Agenda: Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
God I’m itching for a fight. How many days has it

 Gearing Up
Refer the players to their character sheets. They are
provided with stolen military weaponry and
environmental protection suits. However,
ammunition and grenades are sparse, limited to the
number of attacks represented by the ammunition
dots (O) on each character sheet.
M45 Assault Gun: Base Range 70m, DAM 5. Can
fire multiple shots with Weapon Mastery. An older
generation gun, the M45 is one of the most popular
personal military firearms available today. It can fire
in single shot or burst mode, however burst mode
is unavailable for this mission due to lack of
ammunition.
M3A1 Service Handgun: Base Range 25m, DAM 2.
Can fire multiple shots with Weapon Mastery.
M-IV Exosuit: ARM 4. Full-body suit made from
complex lightweight polymers. While originally
devised as an environmental suit for the harsh
conditions of 23rd century Earth, militia groups
have also found it to be a decent substitute for
combat armor. Includes a ballistic helmet with
comm-link to other helmets and smart visor that
adjusts to lighting conditions: Nightvision 1.
M40 Fragmentation Grenade: Base Range 10m,
DAM 5, AOE 6. Wide-radius explosive compound.
M42 Smoke Grenade: Base Range 10m, AOE 6.
Obscures area for 1d6 rounds. All within the area
are blinded (Impaired: -2 to rolls, Move 50%).
Stun Baton: Causes damage (TOU) on a hit. If a
power unit (see below) is committed before making
the attack roll and the attack hits, the target must

ADDITIONAL GEAR
In addition to what’s on the character sheets, the
base will also provide the team with the additional
items below. Have players decide who will carry
them and add them to their character sheets.
Ice Axes (x2): Cuts through ice…or flesh (TOU-1).
Climbing Cables (x2): Two sets of 20-meter mono-
filament wire and grappling hooks.
Detonation Cord (3x 1-meter strips): This explosive
charge is triggered by a detonator with a 10-meter
wire. The blast delivers DAM 4 with AOE 2 if one
strip is used, DAM 6 with AOE 4 if two strips are
used, and DAM 8 with AOE 6 if three strips are used;
and destroys structures as noted in the scenario.
Medkit (x1): Automatically grants +1 to any
Medicine skill roll. If one power unit is expended
(see below), the medkit can heal someone as a one-
round action, causing them to regain 1d6 Health.
The latter application can be administered by
anyone, no Medicine skill required.
POWERED ITEMS
Several items in this scenario require power that
drains with use and is represented by power units
(PU). A character with the Fixing* skill can
determine how many PU remains by examining an
item. They can also transfer any remaining PU from
one item to another, given a minute or so and the
ability to run a 2-meter power cable between them.
The table below shows how much power each item
can hold and how much it has when found. You can
modify the numbers directly in this table as power
gets drained or transferred to other items.
1 Power Unit Allows the Item to…
Use smart visor (Nightvision) for 24 hours.
Use comm-link to HQ and other helmets for 24 hours.
Deliver one stunning attack. Decision to use a PU charge
must be made before the attack roll.
Heal someone by 1d6 Health in one round.
Fight for one round or do other things for one minute.
Use of laser eye-beam costs one additional PU.
Be used for several hours.
Keep the creature inside In Stasis for decades.
If power is drained, creature inside becomes Awake (pg. 11).

 ENCOUNTERS
Getting There
The PCs gear up and don arctic-style camouflage,
although each outfit is slightly different as they
originate from different nations. The PCs pair up
and travel by snow machine to a pre-determined
location roughly 160 miles or 5 hours ride from the
Unchained outpost. This will get them to within
approximately 3 miles of the facility, after which
they will have to proceed on foot as the snow
machines are unable to traverse the uneven terrain
and melting ice sheets in this area.
Travel over the uneven and changing Antarctic
terrain is treacherous. Feel free to embellish this
part of the journey by describing the melting
wasteland, sharp basalt outcroppings, massive
mountain ranges, and sporadic surface water flows,
hazy 24-hour winter sun (refer to the drone video
for further inspiration).
This is an opportunity to pit the PCs against a harsh
and unforgiving environment. Have each PC test
their luck by making a 2d Spirit check. On a failure,
the PC or team runs into an environmental hazard
from the table at right. To keep things interesting,
we recommend not having any of these incidents
happen more than once; it’s more fun to roll or pick
something new each time.
DISTURBING COMMUNICATION
At some point, the whole team receives an urgent
and highly encrypted one-way message from
Unchained HQ:
“Long range signal activity detected in your area.
Repeat, do not attempt long-range communications
or mission could be compromised.”
The signal picked up by HQ is from the secret
reports the double agent is giving to their masters.
Unchained HQ doesn’t know who it came from and
hasn’t yet been able to descramble the contents.

d6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
1 A crack in the ice opens beneath your feet.
Roll AGI+Athletics vs. DIF 3 to avoid falling
in and sustaining a DAM 0 roll that ignores
armor. If you fail your roll, another
character can try to catch you and pull you
back before you fall in by making the
same roll. But if they fail, you both fall in
and sustain damage.
2 You lose 1d6 ammo.
3 Your foot gets wedged in the ice, causing
you to sprain your ankle: Move reduced
50% for the remainder of the scenario.
4 While scrambling over the terrain your suit
gets caught on a sharp piece of stone and
becomes damaged. It can be repaired with
a successful AWA+Fixing* vs. DIF 3 roll.
Otherwise, you suffer DAM 0 roll from
exposure (ignore armor), and the suit’s
ARM value decreases by one.
5 You hear a rumbling sound as a rockslide
sends debris hurtling towards the team.
Everyone makes a 2d Move check to avoid
suffering a DAM 2 roll (apply armor).
6 A military gunship flies overhead and
spots the team. It performs a wide arc and
comes in for the kill. Just as it is about to
rain death on the PCs, it is struck by a
missile (from the automated cannon at the
facility). The gunship crashes, spreading
debris over a wide area. Each PC should
roll 2d Move or suffer a DAM 0 roll from
the blast (apply armor). A dying pilot
utters last words through his comms:
“mayday… strike team…” There’s nothing
salvageable from the wreck.
 Getting In
Once within sight of the facility the PCs must decide
how best to approach it and the automated cannon
mounted on its roof. The cannon is indeed
designed to only target and take down aerial
targets emitting mechanical or electrical signatures,
so it does not actually pose any threat to the PCs.
However, they have no immediate way to know this
(other than perhaps on a successful AWA+Heavy
Weapons* roll vs. DIF 2). Feel free to add some
drama and feed the players’ anxiety, perhaps by
having the cannon move around a bit randomly
targeting steam vents and ice clouds, etc.
The sides and back of the facility are built into the
rock and offer no access. The facility can only be
penetrated via the 15 m long by 4 m high front
section of the small structure; either through the
door panel at the base or a window near the top.
THE DOOR PANEL
There is a large a sliding wall panel in the front
facing wall directly below the cannon. There is a
small electronic panel beside the sliding door but it
has been irreparably damaged by having been
buried under the ice for 50+ years. Fiddling with the
door mechanism will alert the sentinel (see next
section for details) inside of an intruder presence,
although it does not react at this time. A successful
AWA+Locks & Traps* or Fixing* vs. DIF 1 roll
indicates that there is some residual power in the
circuitry but that the electronics are fried. This same
roll also indicates that the pneumatic door
mechanism itself has been damaged, meaning it
cannot be opened by traditional means.

The door can be breached using detonation cord.
A successful AWA+Locks & Traps* vs. DIF 2 roll
indicates that it requires a minimum of two strips
of cord to blow the door. If they do, play this video:
https://youtu.be/EJZfUpzmMCw
THE ROOF
PCs can climb onto the roof of the facility using
climbing cables. This allows them to reach and
disable (if they wish) the cannon on the roof.
There’s also a mechanical unit on the roof which
controls ventilation in the facility. The unit conceals
a ventilation shaft that leads to the containment
chamber (pg. 10). The shaft is sealed by a hatch
that is too well reinforced to be blown open, even
with detonation cord. The hatch can only be
opened from inside, as explained on pg. 12.
THE WINDOWS
A smooth slope down from the roof leads to a row
of skylight windows, which a PC can reach with a
climbing cable. The bulletproof glass is scuffed
and scratched by decades under the ice, so nothing
can be seen by peering through it. A successful
AWA+Locks & Traps* vs. DIF 2 roll indicates that
one strip of detonation cord will blow a window.
Once through a window, PCs can climb down to the
ground level of the facility one at a time, using a
climbing cable. It takes one round to climb down.
Climbing back up takes one round with a successful
AGI+Athletics vs. DIF 2 roll, otherwise two rounds.
Cannon
Panel
Control
 Inside the Facility
There is a small amount of residual power running
intermittently through the facility as evidenced by
random sparks, the odd LED, sputtering emergency
lighting and other illuminated circuitry. Lighting is
poor: PCs need the Nightvision from their helmets,
or they are Slightly Impaired (-1 to rolls).
The area immediately inside the doors appears to
be some type of loading bay or equipment room.
There are no computer terminals or other forms of
data access points in this area.
A humanoid robotic sentry stands guard against
the south wall, concealed in the shadows. As soon
as anyone comes within 4 meters of it, it suddenly
powers up for the first time in decades. Show the
players one of the videos below.
If the PCs came in through the door panel:

If the PCs came in through a window:
https://youtu.be/pJcJriYjy0g
See the stats for The Sentinel at right and the map
on pg. 14. Play now proceeds in order of Initiative.
TAKING COVER
Up to three PC’s can take cover at the locations
marked X on the map. PCs who are positioned
there gain +2 to their defense rolls against the
Sentinel’s eye-beam.
SENTINEL TACTICS
The Sentinel is unintelligent aside from its
programming, which is to eliminate any intruders.
As soon as it sees the PCs, it stops and sweeps the
room with its deadly red eye. It can also bludgeon
or slam enemies with its powerful arms.
Should the PCs retreat, the Sentinel will continue to
attack and follow them to the edge of the blast hole
but will not venture outside (it is programmed not
to leave the facility).
DRAWING POWER FROM THE SENTINEL
If the PCs disable the Sentinel without destroying it
(via the kill switch), they can transfer its remaining
power units to other items, as explained on pg. 6.
If they destroy the Sentinel by bringing its Health
to 0, the power is gone. The PCs have neither the
time or tools to repair or reprogram the Sentinel.

THE SENTINEL
AGI 1 Move 10
TOU 5 Health 24
AWA 1 Initiative 10
WIL 1 Spirit 10
Skills: Unarmed Strike 1, Weapon Mastery 1 (eye-
beam), Unlife 3, Nightvision 2, Senses 2, Focus 2
Armor Plating: ARM 4
Immunities: fire/heat, frost/cold, poison, stunning.
A stun attack from the baton gives it +1 PU instead.
Low Battery: The Sentinel begins with 8 PU.
Fighting one round drains one PU and using the
eye-beam drains one additional PU. Once it reaches
4 PU, PCs with Fixing* roll AWA+Fixing* vs. DIF 2 to
notice that it is slowing down and running low on
power. If it runs out of power, the bot slumps to a
standstill.
Eye-Beam: The Sentinel can project a deadly laser
beam from its cyclopean eye. The beam sweeps in
a 90-degree fan in front of the Sentinel, burning
everything in its path at a 5-meter range (AOE 3).
Anyone caught in this area must make a defense
roll against the Sentinel’s AGI+Weapon Mastery
attack or suffer a DAM 3 roll. A character can try to
move behind the Sentinel with a successful Move
check. Otherwise, the Sentinel’s head swivels to
face the character. Keep track of which direction the
head is facing and who is in the eye-beam’s range.
Kill Switch: A character with Fixing* will know that
the Sentinel has a kill switch under the back of its
skull, which powers off the Sentinel. Accessing the
switch requires the head to be facing away from the
character, who must then make an AGI+Grappling
vs. DIF 2 roll to reach the switch. Should the PC fail,
they expose themselves to the Sentinel’s next
attack, suffering -2 to their defense roll.
 The Containment Chamber
Rounding the final corner, the PCs enter the main
laboratory. There are several features of interest:
• A recessed drainage channel running down the
middle of the chamber (see right).
• A computer terminal that PCs can use to try and
access the facility database (see pg. 11).
• A ventilation shaft in the ceiling (see right).
• Control panels at the base of each tank (right).
• Several glass tanks (one per PC) with alien
xenomorphs inside, cloned from the original
specimen recovered from the probe. Read the
section below and show the video to the players;
GM notes are on the next page.
https://youtu.be/WLpxbCAndEI
Inside (number of PCs) tall, thick glass cylinders
filled with slowly bubbling fluid stand sinewy, alien
life forms. Their skin looks thick and rubbery; like a
turkey leg left out too long in the sun. Fortunately,
the lids on their two, short vertical eye stalks on
either side of their tri-hinged, squid-like maws are
closed, at least for now. Two long and powerful legs
extend down from their apparently sexless torsos.
Although there are two primary arms, they possess
additional, arm-like appendages that sprout at odd
angles from their sides, backs, and upper torsos. Each
appendage ends in three or four fingered claws.
Each creature is connected to several tubes and
wires, and appears to be in some sort of suspended
animation. Whether their slow movements are
caused by the bubbles in the tanks or by muscle
activity, you simply cannot tell.
What happens next is up to the players. Their
secret agendas may very well come into conflict.
Running back to base and hoping others do not
arrive in the interim is not a viable option. In fact, a
government strike team will arrive just as the PCs
are trying to leave: see pg. 12.
MJ Barjoc (Order #39761202)
10
THE RECESSED DRAINAGE CHANNEL
It’s only shin-deep, and it’s only melt water; but the
players don’t necessarily know that. PCs on the
other side of the channel when a bio-fluid filled
tank shatters are less likely to be splashed and gain
+2 to their dodging rolls.
THE VENTILATION SHAFT
If someone looks, there is a 1-meter wide square
shaft in the ceiling directly above the computer
terminal. Iron rungs inside the shaft go up 2 meters
to a wheel-lock operated hatch that opens onto the
roof. The shaft can be used as a possible escape
route by PCs or aliens, as explained on pg. 12.
THE CONTROL PANELS
At the base of each tank is an identical control
panel with circuitry as strange as it is complex,
containing now out-of-date Earthly components
crudely spliced with alien technologies unknown to
the PCs. If a PC tries to understand how the panels
work, have them roll AWA+Computers* vs. DIF 3.
Critical Success: The PC figures out both how to
drain the bio-fluid, and how to open any tank.
Regular Success: The PC figures out how to either:
(d6) 1-3: Drain the bio-fluid from any tank.
4-6: Open any tank.
Regular Failure: The PC isn’t sure how the system
works. If they choose to push a lever at random, the
tank will either open or be drained (50/50).
Critical Failure: The PC accidentally opens the
tank, causing the bio-fluid to splash out and the
xenomorph to become Free (see next page).
Operating a control panel, drawing power from a
tank, or physically tampering with a tank or the
connecting tubes and wires leading to it, causes all
the xenomorphs to become Awake. See next page.
 The Tanks
A tank can be breached with repeated blowsꟷit has
ARM 3, Health 10ꟷor a strip of detonation cord.
THE BIO-FLUID
The tanks are filled with a highly acidic bio-fluid.
They can be drained, but this causes all the aliens
to become Awake. If a tank is opened or breached
with the fluid still inside, the fluid spills out (and the
alien inside becomes Free). All within 4 meters of
the tank must roll AGI+Athletics vs. DIF 3 to avoid
being splashed, or suffer a DAM 1 roll. Armor offers
protection normally, but becomes damaged by the
acid and its ARM value decreases by 1.
THE ALIENS
The aliens will be in one of three states at all times:
In Stasis: This is how they are when the PCs arrive.
Awake: In this state, the aliens are aware of their
surroundings but still trapped in their tanks. They
will start beating on the glass chambers, delivering
a TOU 4 damage roll each round to the glass until
it shatters. The glass has ARM 3 and Health 10.
As soon as the aliens become Awake, the PCs must
all make sanity checks on 2d Spirit. Those who fail
become Stressed; see Appendix A (pg. 13)
Free: This happens once an alien has broken free of
its tank, or the PCs were stupid enough to open a
tank. If only one tank is opened or breached, that
alien is Free and the other ones Awake. A Free alien
attacks the PCs with terrifying speed and ferocity.

prey in teams of two or more. One alien will try to
grapple the target using its tongue-like mandibles;
see Grappling skill. While the target is restrained,
the other alien will either tear it to shreds with its
claws (using Multistrike; see skill) or devour it with
its maw, which opens to improbable proportions.
Terrifying: Humans must make a sanity/stress
check when the aliens become Awake, and again if
they witness a comrade being killed by the aliens.

The Facility Database
As noted, there is also a computer terminal here.
Although functional, it has no power running to it.
It must be powered up with 1 PU from another
powered item (pg. 6).
Accessing the Database: The system returns only
fragments of useful information and for a fleeting
amount of time. Although the hard drive can be
physically removed for reconstruction and analysis
later, the quantity of information that can be readily
retrieved in-situ is dependent upon the degree of
success of an AWA+Computers* vs. DIF 2 roll. The
margin of success above the DIF roll indicates how
many entries from the table at right are recovered.
For example, if the AWA+ Computers* roll is 6 and
the DIF roll is 4, two entries are recovered.
Deleting the Database: The system can be wiped
clean. Initiating the process takes one round and
requires a successful AWA+Computers* vs. DIF 2
roll. Once initiated, it takes 6 rounds for the process
to complete (one round for each entry below). The
process can be interrupted by anyone who’s at the
terminal with a single keystroke.
d6 FACILITY DATABASE INFORMATION
1 A complex chemical formulation for the
bio-fluid, with reference to how to mix a
large batch, roughly 800 gallons or 3,000
litres (enough for one tank).
2 There is a short, low resolution, shaky,
hand-held video of a team of soldiers
accessing what appears to be a crashed
alien probe in the snow-strewn wastes that
ends abruptly with the sound of screaming
and machine guns opening fire.
3 There are diagrams detailing the circuitry
that operates the tanks, including the
instructions on how to use the control
panels (i.e., no roll required) and a master
control to drain or open all the tanks.
4 There are bio-medical records and an
autopsy report with photographs of an
alien life form (the original xenomorph)
splayed out on an exam room table
(report takes too long to read here).
5 A complete DNA code of the xenomorphs,
which allows them to be cloned or spliced
with human DNA. This information could
potentially give the side that has it a
decisive advantage in the war.
6 A self-destruct sequence for the entire
facility, 60-sec. countdown once activated.
 The Strike Team
While the PCs explore the facility, a strike team of
20+ well-trained government special forces is
closing in on foot. The marines will enter the facility
by blasting the door panel (unless the PCs helpfully
did it for them). Their mission is to clear and secure
the facility, using lethal force if necessary. They’ll
seek to capture or kill anyone standing in their way.

Frag Grenades x2: Base Range 10, DAM 5, AOE 6
Time the appearance of the marines for maximum
dramatic effect. Below are some likely scenarios,
based on playtesting:
If the PCs try to leave the facility without tinkering
with the containment chamber, the marines are just
outside the facility, beginning their assault. They’ll
definitely spot anyone who tries to leave through
the front.
If the PCs are fighting xenomorphs and winning,
the marines swarm into the loading bay and arrive
at the entrance of the containment chamber. In the
few seconds it takes them to absorb the scene and
shout at everyone to stand down, the xenomorphs
try to escape through the ventilation shaft.
If the PCs are fighting xenomorphs and losing,
having already suffered one or more casualties, the
marines arrive at the entrance of the containment
chamber as above. In the few seconds it takes them
to absorb the scene and shout at everyone to stand
down, the xenomorphs will disengage the PCs and
hurl themselves at the marines. A furious pitched
battle ensues outside the containment chamber.
The PCs must now decide what to do. The marines
will take a heavy toll but eventually prevail against
the xenomorphs after one minute (10 rounds). If
the PCs try to leave the chamber in the meantime,
see the next section.
MJ Barjoc (Order #39761202)
12
Fighting the Marines: The PCs have no chance
against 20+ marines, so no need to keep track of
enemy losses if the players foolishly attack. In the
cramped quarters of the facility, the marines can
only make 2d6 attacks per round against the PCs.
Getting Out
The PCs can leave the facility in one of two ways:
the way they came in through the front (either
through the windows or the blasted door panel),
or through the ventilation shaft in the ceiling of
the containment chamber. The pre-generated PCs
have smoke grenades to facilitate their escape, if
they think of using them.
THROUGH THE FRONT
The marines will likely make this impossible, unless
they are being engaged by the xenomorphs. In this
case, a PC can sneak through the bloody melee and
make it outside to safety on a 2d Move check. If the
check fails, the PC is fired upon by a marine and
must attempt the 2d Move check again the next
round.
THROUGH THE VENTILATION SHAFT
The ventilation shaft in the ceiling is a possible
escape route for PCs and/or the xenomorphs. The
following rules apply equally to both:
Reaching the lowest rungs and pulling oneself into
the shaft requires an AGI+Athletics vs. DIF 3 roll,
with one attempt possible each round. The roll is at
+2 if the climber gets a boost from someone else.
The space inside the shaft is only 1 meter wide and
2 meters high, so only one PC or NPC can fit. They
suffer -2 defense vs. ranged attacks from directly
below, but gain +2 defense vs. melee attacks.
There is a wheel-lock-operated hatch at the top. It
is corroded by time and the elements, and frozen
shut; opening it requires a TOU+Strength vs. DIF 3
roll, with one attempt possible each round.
The hatch leads to the roof of the facility. From
there, it is possible to slip away through the back of
the facility, concealed by the mechanical unit and
hence unseen by anyone at the front of the facility.
As soon as the PCs either perish, are captured by
the strike team or make it out of the facility, their
mission is over. If they make it out of the facility,
play out a quick debrief with their superiors, asking
the players what they’d like to include (and maybe
not include?) in their report.
If any xenomorphs also happened to escape the
facility, who knows what further complicationsꟷ
and potential sequelsꟷthis might lead to!
 APPENDIX A: STRESS OPTIONAL RULE
Even hardened soldiers can lose their minds when
confronted with alien horrors, so we recommend
using the Sanity rules described in the ELEMENTAL
Complete Guide (pg. 125). What follows is an
expansion of the Sanity rules that describes more
specifically how a character reacts when they fail a
sanity check.
Per the Complete Guide: When you experience
something shocking or horrifying, make a sanity
check on 2d Spirit or lose one point of WIL and
corresponding Spirit. This is the long-term effect.
NEW RULE: In addition to losing WIL, you become
Stressed as adrenaline flows through your body.
Stress is the short-term effect.
EFFECT OF STRESS: As long as the condition lasts,
you gain +1 to all your rolls, but every time you fail
a roll (including attack and defense rolls in combat)
you must immediately roll on the Panic Table.
RELIEVING STRESS: You can shake off the Stressed
condition (but not the WIL loss) by spending a few
minutes resting in a safe place.
HOW TO ROLL A d66
Roll 2d6 as you would percentile dice, treating one
die as the tens and the other die as the units. This
gives you 36 results from 11 to 66 with equal
probability of occurring. If we group some of the
numbers together, we can generate 18, 12 or 9
results instead, using nothing but 2d6. Handy!

d66 PANIC TABLE
11-14 Keepin’ it together! You manage to
keep your nerves in check…for now.
15-22 Scared Stiff: You are Slightly
Impaired. Roll 2d Spirit to shake it off.
23-26 Drop: You drop a weapon or other
important item (GM’s choice).
31-34 Stunned: You are Impaired.
Roll 2d Spirit to shake it off.
35-42 Scream: You completely lose it and all
allies automatically become Stressed.
43-46 Freeze: You are Paralyzed with fear
(no actions, -3 to defense rolls, +3 to
damage suffered from melee attacks).
Roll 2d Spirit to shake it off.
51-54 Run: You seek cover or flee to a safe
place, starting on your next turn.
55-62 Psycho: Starting on your next turn,
you attack the nearest creature, friend
or foe.
63-66 Heart Attack: Roll 2d Health or die on
the spot. Otherwise, you become
Impaired and can roll 2d Health each
subsequent day to shake it off.

 APPENDIX C: PLAYER CHARACTERS
PFEIFFER – TEAM LEADER
A natural born and charismatic leader, you have been described as someone
who is a supportive enabler of others. Although you prefer to avoid conflict
when possible, you are more than capable of making the tough decisions and
seeing them through. When asked to lead this mission you did not hesitate,
even though the team assembled isn’t precisely a seasoned strike force.

JONES - CLOSE COMBAT SPECIALIST

Having trained in martial arts since you were a kid, you were a natural recruit
for several factions, government agencies and military units alike. Having
completed basic training, you learned first-hand how corrupt and unjust
organized government can be, fanning your desire to help those incapable of
defending themselves, and drawing you to The Unchained.

SABBATINI - MEDIC

For years you have poured your heart and soul into tending others' wounds.
Referred to affectionately as 'Stitch', you are the new resident medic of the
Antarctic observation post of The Unchained. You had hoped that transferring
to this remote location would provide you with a much-needed break…

MOROZOVA - FIXER
A Jill-of-all-Trades, you have learned how to fend for, and survive by, yourself.
The number of times you have been underestimated as ‘just another
mechanic’ it pales in comparison to how often you have been underestimated
with a firearm. At only 16 years old, some might feel that you are too young
for field missions; they’ll find out soon enough.

ROCHE - HEAVY WEAPON SPECIALIST

Initially recruited by the military to train as a medic, it is your proficiency with
demolitions and heavy weapons that have been most relied upon since
completing basic training and joining The Unchained. Your early military
training has never left you, although you believe most of your lauded
successes have been more a matter of being in the right place at the right
time. It never hurts to have an extra serving of luck on your side.

SCHMIDT - TECHNICIAN
As a consummate techie, your skills have always been in demand, but it
wasn't until you were recruited by The Unchained that you finally found your
true calling. You have been transferred from post to post, helping repair and
refurbish the faction's limited technological resources, spending most of your
time either in a server room or seated at a workbench, elbows deep in a
kaleidoscope of wiring.

 DESCRIPTION OF SKILLS, FLAWS AND POWERS
COMMAND
You know how to organize, command, inspire and deploy groups of people. When you are part of a
group action, your Command skill is added to the roll. You can only apply Command to rolls that are
made by a group and cannot assist individual efforts with this skill.
COMPUTERS
You know how to break into computer systems, operate virtual networks and decipher coded or
encrypted information. Add the skill level to attribute rolls pertaining to such activities.
NIGHTVISION
You can see clearly in the dark up to 20 meters away.
ORATORY
You have the ability to inspire groups of others through your words, exhorting them to greater efforts
towards a common goal. Before or during combat, you may roll WIL+Oratory* against the highest
opponent attribute. If successful, you choose one of the following benefits:
• Inspiration: for the duration of the fight, you and all your allies get a boost to your derived stats
(Move, Health, Initiative, Spirit) equal to the Oratory skill level.
• Courage: For the duration of the fight, you and all your allies add the Oratory skill level to rolls
against fear, losing morale and other mind-affecting effects; this is similar to the Focus skill.
• Frenzy: for the duration of the fight, you and all your allies get +1 to all TOU-based damage rolls.
But if they have the Weapon Mastery skill, they cannot allocate it to defense.
Performing Oratory takes at least one minute and only one attempt can be made on any creature or
group. The effect is canceled immediately if you are incapacitated, slain or otherwise leave the fight.
SIXTH SENSE
Due to your experience, you may ask for a clue from the GM once during the session.
TEAM TACTICS
You are more effective at fighting with allies who also have this skill. At level 1, you gain +1 to attack
rolls when fighting alongside unimpaired allies who also have the Team Tactics skill.
WEAPON MASTERY
Prior to rolling dice each round, you may choose to add this skill level to your attack OR damage
rolls. If using an automatic firearm, you may add the skill to the number of shots or bursts fired
instead.

ATHLETICS
Add the skill level to attribute rolls pertaining to jumping, climbing, dodging, breaking falls, and
performing various physical stunts and feats of balance. As a full-round action you may choose to
dodge, adding the skill level to defense rolls against physical attacks.
FIXING
You can repair mechanical and electronic devices, constructs or vehicles. It generally takes one hour to
fix something, after which you make an AWA+Fixing* roll to determine how many Health points the
damaged item regains. Fixing requires the proper tools. If you are out in the field with a repair toolkit,
only one Fixing roll can be made for each instance the device took damage.
NIGHTVISION
You can see clearly in the dark up to 20 meters away.
SECOND WIND
As a one-round action, you can recover a number of Health points equal to a TOU roll. You can do this a
number of times per game session equal to the skill level.
SENSES
The skill level is added to seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting rolls.
TEAM TACTICS
You are more effective at fighting with allies who also have this skill. At level 1, you gain +1 to attack
rolls when fighting alongside unimpaired allies who also have the Team Tactics skill.
TRICKERY
You use guile to gain an advantage in combat, and can perform the following maneuvers:
• Taunt: As an action, you can compel a foe to direct its next attack towards you with a successful WIL
+Trickery vs. WIL+Focus roll. If the trick is employed on a player character, the PC can choose to forego
her next attack instead.
• Distraction: As an action, you cause a foe to suffer -3 on its next defense roll (regardless of who
attacks it) with a successful WIL+Trickery vs. AWA+Observation roll. After the first distraction attempt,
the foe will be on its guard so subsequent distraction attempts by you are made at -2.
WEAPON MASTERY
Prior to rolling dice each round, you may choose to add this skill level to your attack OR damage rolls. If
using a melee weapon to defend against melee attacks, you may add the skill to your defense rolls
instead.

OTHER CHARACTERS BACKGROUND AND NOTES

Although capable with a firearm it always
seemed an inelegant and haphazard way of
resolving a conflict. Having trained in martial
arts since you were a kid, you were a natural
recruit for several factions and government
agencies / military units alike. Having
completed basic training, you learned
first-hand how corrupt and unjust organized
government can be, fanning your desire to
help those incapable of defending
themselves, and drawing you to

 DESCRIPTION OF SKILLS, FLAWS AND POWERS
STEALTH
You can move silently, hide or camouflage yourself successfully and follow someone without being seen. To
remain undetected, you roll AGI +Stealth against the target’s AWA+Senses. If you initiate combat while
undetected, your first attack is resolved before your foes can react.
If they were potentially caught unprepared, they should then make a surprise check (2d Initiative) to see if they
can act on the first round.
MEDICINE
You have medical knowledge and know how to treat injuries, poison and disease (if no medical kit, roll at -2):
• First Aid: You tend to a character’s fresh wounds for one minute. Roll AWA+Medicine vs. DIF, where DIF is equal
to the number of minutes elapsed since the patient was last injured. Success heals 1 Health. First Aid can be
provided multiple times to the same patient, each attempt taking one minute and increasing the DIF by 1.
• Treating the wounded: You and all allies under your care add your skill level when making TOU/Health recovery
rolls after long rests.
• Treating the sick/poisoned: Roll AWA+Medicine vs. POT. On a success, the patient automatically succeeds on
the next Health check they make to shake off the Impaired condition.
• Saving a life: If you tend to a character at the brink of death, when they make a TOU roll to survive, they add
your skill level to their roll. You can only tend to one character at a time.
NIGHTVISION
You can see clearly in the dark up to 20 meters away.
OBSERVATION
You have the ability to notice significant little clues. Add the skill level to rolls pertaining to this activity.
PERSUASION
Add the skill level to WIL rolls you make to influence, convince, seduce, bluff, fast-talk or otherwise get agreement
from someone.
PSYCHOLOGY
You are able to sense another character’s general motivation and state of mind with a successful AWA
+Psychology vs. WIL roll.
SURGERY
You understand anatomical structures. Given the right tools, you can perform surgical operations and autopsies.
WEAPON MASTERY
Prior to rolling dice each round, you may choose to add this skill level to your attack OR damage rolls. If using an
automatic firearm, you may add the skill to the number of shots or bursts fired instead.

COVER
You keep others out of danger and may add this skill to an ally’s AGI defense rolls. You can
grant cover to the ally from a distance if you have a ranged weapon, This is an active measure,
so you cannot attack or take other actions except defend while granting Cover (but the ally can
fight or do other things).
FIXING
You can repair mechanical and electronic devices, constructs or vehicles. It generally takes one

level to the total.
NIGHTVISION
You can see clearly in the dark up to 20 meters away.
ENDURANCE
You are better able to function in the face of physical punishment. This includes:
• Maintaining strenuous physical activity for an extended period of time.
• Add the skill level to prevent being Impaired when receiving massive damage.
• Add the skill level when making the TOU roll to survive when at the brink of death.

 DESCRIPTION OF SKILLS, FLAWS AND POWERS
ATHLETICS
Add the skill level to attribute rolls pertaining to jumping, climbing, dodging, breaking falls, and
performing various physical stunts and feats of balance. As a full-round action you may choose to
dodge, adding the skill level to defense rolls against physical attacks.
COMPUTERS
You know how to break into computer systems, operate virtual networks and decipher coded or
encrypted information. Add the skill level to attribute rolls pertaining to such activities.
DRIVING
You are skilled at handling land vehicles. Add the skill level to attribute rolls when attempting
difficult maneuvers or avoiding attacks. Note: such rolls normally use the vehicle’s AGI (not the
driver’s).
FIXING
You can repair mechanical and electronic devices, constructs or vehicles. It generally takes one
hour to fix something, after which you make an AWA+Fixing* roll to determine how many Health
points the damaged item regains. Fixing requires the proper tools. If you are out in the field with a
repair toolkit, only one Fixing roll can be made for each instance the device took damage.
LOCKS & TRAPS
With the proper tools, you can attempt to pick keyed locks and crack combination locks. You also
know how to set and disable complex traps and snares of different kinds, including the explosive
variety. Add the skill level to rolls pertaining to such activities.
NIGHTVISION
You can see clearly in the dark up to 20 meters away.
RESEARCH
Allows you to effectively find things out through online and offline libraries and databases. Add the
skill level to attribute rolls pertaining to such activities.
WEAPON MASTERY
Prior to rolling dice each round, you may choose to add this skill level to your attack OR damage
rolls. If using an automatic firearm, you may add the skill to the number of shots or bursts fired
instead.

OTHER CHARACTERS BACKGROUND AND NOTES

As a consummate techie, your skills have
always been in demand, but it wasn't until you
were recruited by The Unchained that you
finally found your true calling. You have been
transferred from post to post, helping repair
and refurbish the faction's limited
technological resources, spending most of
your time either in a server room or seated at
a workbench, elbows deep in a kaleidoscope
of wiring.
