Mission Summary
Star system DQ2387 Alpha 9912:
The discovery of a large habitable moon, from which a repeating signal is detected which cannot be deciphered, orbiting around a massive ringed gas giant draws the U.S.S. Victory closer to investigate.
The planet is discovered to be covered in massive stone cities. Cities abandoned thousands of years ago to be reclaimed by the dense plant life which covers the moon in a rick, vibrant cloak of life. The signal's origin is determined to be located somewhere deep inside a massive complex in the heart of a dense temperate rain-forest region. Entering the complex, the crew of the Victory hope to determine who left this massive and ornate stone city so long ago, as well as the origins of the transmission which doesn't seem to fit with the ancient complex from which it is being sent into space..
Is the message from the long-dead builders of this amazing archaeological discovery or was it left behind by some other space-faring race?

Deep with the inky black of an endless underground system of caves, tunnels and caverns, creatures long trapped in the darkness have no need of sight. Eyeless, these creatures hunt by sound and scent. For an eons, they evolved away from warmth and light.
Now, there is light. There is warmth, there are strange sounds, unfamiliar voices, and now the creatures rise from the darkest places of their world. Excited, hungry.. Swarming up from the suddenly opened tunnels which long held their kind within the black prison, freed at last the creatures surge forward in eager pursuit of fresh prey, fresh territory to claim as their own.
For the surface dwellers, any sound, even a whisper, is to summon death.
This is the site of the ancient city where this mission will take place:
