A containment alert has sealed four crew members inside the cargo hold
aboard the orbital research vessel Horizon Dawn above Gliese 832c. The
cargo bay is quite large and has a self-contained vent system, now
isolated from the main vessel. Whilst it is mostly an open space filled
with various crates and equipment, there is a significant section
specifically dedicated to exotic samples. That has basic quarantine
systems, but they are on the blink. The ship’s AI reports an
unauthorized organism moving through the vents in the cargo hold and has
triggered Quarantine Protocols. And the aged systems on the base have
failed to recognise that there are people stuck inside. The crew have
twenty minutes of oxygen and must use their combined knowledge to work
out how to make their escape. …and of course… Anything Could Happen
