The Signal

After meticulously searching and analyzing the valley where we picked up on the weird signal, we finally managed to track down the crash site of an old dilapidated ship. Though it still sends out a call for aid, the vessel seems to be mostly empty, and there's no sign of life inside.

One of our … came across a small camp site while we were thoroughly examining the area, and after following some old tracks they found an old laboratory. Though blocked by debris, for now, this might be the location of the missing xenos from the ship.

After clearing out the last of the debris our … found the bodies of a group of xenos, presumably the ones who had arrived on the crashed ship. After their remains were carefully analyzed, our … have concluded they must have died from an early degradation of their internal organs - most likely due to some unknown bacteria or disease.

It is still unclear what their aims were, or what brought them to this specific location in their last moments. The old machines and computer banks of the laboratory are unsalvageable, and there's nothing else in the room itself that can give us any hints.

A small door leading further downwards is blocked off, and any preliminary attempts at decrypting it have failed. But our … believe they can get them open given some time.

With a small release of air the doors to the final chamber of the laboratory finally opens, significantly larger than anyone would expect. Rows and rows of cloning vats fills the area - hundreds if not thousands of creatures locked away underground.

Our … quickly conclude they are of the same species as the remains we found earlier. A small button by each of the cloning vats seems to be all that is needed to wake them up, if we so want.
