The orbital reconnaissance base Erebus-4 has recently been deployed in
orbit around the gas giant Upsilon Persei b. A devastating explosion has
crippled the station’s reactor and communications. Radiation levels are
climbing, indicating the risk of lethal exposure in 20 minutes. The
crew are in the command centre and although there are living quarters
these are inaccessible due to the damage to the explosion with sections
opened to vacuum. The base has a prototype AI Analyst on board that has
been observing ship movements by a Malanki fleet that recently arrived
in a nearby system just 3Ly away. This is highly sensitive piece of
equipment is integrated into the platform and must not be left exposed
to hostile parties or corporate hands The most worrying part is the AI
has raised the possibility of the explosion being sabotage - even
potentially someone on board the vessel. How will the party escape the
collapsing base? And what are the risks if they do? And of course…
Anything can happen
