The ship’s boat rests powerless and wrecked, embedded within the ruins of Cotopaxi Research Station 9. The crew nurse their wounds and gaze out at the jungle, watching the “spiders” retreat under the dark canopy. No power. No comms. No resources save for those left in the ruins; out in the open, with no power fence. But there is the crashed alien ship not far away, loaded with high tech. The spiders call the wreck “home”. The tech on board, although advanced, is old. And what was in those sealed cryo-pods?
