About this episode
A team investigates the mysterious death of a pilot at a remote space station.
Jackson Gemini, the pilot of a small survey ship, died under mysterious circumstances while at Broadcast Station 65X, a remote facility built on an asteroid in an uninhabited star system. The station is an important link in outer rim communications infrastructure, so it must remain operable at all times. A team is sent in to answer the distress call. Get the scenario PDF here!
