Book excerpt: As the heroes continue to explore their newfound alien world, they discover an ancient monastery deep underground. Exploring this ruin reveals intriguing glimpses at the planet's long history, but as the PCs return to the surface, they find a small Aspis Consortium-connected village established illegally in their territory. When things start going wrong in their own settlement, the PCs must establish whether it is just bad luck or deliberate sabotage on the part of these troublesome newcomers!
