The Dead Channel Incident

The silence on Acheron-9 is heavier than the sulfurous atmosphere. Once a thriving Weyland-Yutani mining outpost, it has been reduced to a skeletal grid of flickering emergency lights and hissing steam pipes. Somewhere in the guts of the 'Aura' Research Block, Silas Vane—a high-level corporate analyst with clearance to the company's deepest biological secrets—has stopped responding to his internal comms. Your orders are simple: retrieve Vane, secure his data core, and ask no questions about what turned the base into a slaughterhouse. As your drop-ship touches down, the motion trackers are already chirping. There are movement signatures in the ventilation shafts, moving too fast to be human. The colony’s local militia has gone rogue, barricading themselves in the reactor core and demanding evacuation in exchange for the very man you're here to find. You are walking into a three-way crossfire between desperate survivors, a cold-blooded corporation, and a predator that doesn't care about your contract.
