Stay Frosty OSR Adventure by Melsonian Arts Council
Your United Universal Corporation patrol ship is doing the rounds of the lonely industrial sector XXEC-73, generally used for scientific research stations. Budget cuts mean you have to patrol an amount of these stations well in excess of the ideal. Your patrol craft, Abigail-10, has an AI supplemented with cloned brain cells, and her soothing voice brings comfort in a monotonous routine that is only broken by limited access to Corporate approved holoflicks. You approach Lemegeton, an eerie lime-green gas giant with cyclonic spots of blood-red near its equator. You are heading for one of several dozen moons, FORNEUS RESEARCH BASE, as you have done many times before. The base is used for general research in functional genetics.
This time, something is wrong. Your communications link should be broadcasting the bored voice of a science-colonist telling you all is well. Now it just returns the deathly silence of outer space. Suddenly black slime erupts from your control panels, and Abigail-10’s voice erupts in cackles, backwards babble and bestial growls. The viewscreens are filled with crimson static and leering faces. Life support systems begin to fail and you are wracked with extreme turbulence. Switching to manual control, you begin a controlled crash landing on the black ash moon FORNEUS.
A Stay Frosty adventure for four to six 1st level PCs
