Players take on the role of Lt. Col. Henry Hericksen, an ex-Colonial Marine aboard the USS Sheridan who now commands a three-man terraforming team.

The objective is to travel to the remote outpost on B54C to find the cause of a distress call received by the vessel. The search leads through a mining complex.

Scattered evidence must be pieced together to learn what is behind the sinister experiments that have gone horribly wrong, and who is responsible.
