Hivers II
If this adventure follows on from Hivers I then you will be familiar with the Hivers and how their ship exploded in the upper atmosphere at the end of the previous episode.
If you have not played Hivers I¸ here is a synopsis.
What the average person understands is this:The world upon which you stand has been suffering a global famine. When things got desperate a massive food convoy was arranged to import food. As the convoy approached the planet it was attacked and destroyed. Most people blame pirates for the attack¸ some spacers say it was aliens. One freighter survived the attack but was crippled and the crew sucked out into the vacuum of space. A rescue mission was sent out and the freighter brought back to the orbital station even as it was brought to the planet's orbital station parts of the ship were breaking up and burning up in the planet's atmosphere. The spacers that rescued the freighter were a team of off-worlders and the freighter's cargo of thousands of tons of protein powder were sorely needed.
Hivers IIHivers II finds the heroes investigating strange goings on in the planets polar regions where remote research stations have disappeared from radio contact. Last reports were of hostile alien attacks.
