The Ghost Signal

>>signal received... >>playing recording... Mayday, mayday, mayday. This is the Cerberus Defense Research Platform. We are currently orbiting Veridian Reach and are in need of immediate assistance. If anyone can hear this, please help. Something has taken over the station and people have started to lose it, fighting one another. There's also something ... else here, something not natural. Please, if anyone can hear this, send help. We don't have much time left. >>Message repeats... >>Signal lost... The year is 2381 and for roughly three centuries, humans have had the ability to travel through the vast reaches of space, leading to the discovery and colonization of many planets. Having also mastered faster than light (ftl) travel, the reach of humankind is further than we've ever imagined. If someone isn't living in a colony, then they're either in a ship or one of the many stations orbiting a planet. You are part of a small salvage operation crew who just finished a delivery to a space junkyard in the outer reaches of the known universe. Your crew is on their way back to a nearby colony planet when your ship receives a mysterious transmission from an unknown source, until it finally plays. The message is haunting, as everyone knows about the planet Veridian Reach. It is a failed colony planet for unknown reasons but was abandoned not long after it was settled on. Unknown to the general public, a research and defense space station was deployed to orbit the planet and monitor it for any strange activity. Will you and your crew investigate the strange signal? Or will you spare yourselves from a fate worse than death? Explore the derelict Cerberus space station and discover the evil threat that lies within. Fight against an unknown enemy that is creating a mutant army from the unlucky people that once inhabited the station and attempt to stop it before it can spread to the rest of the universe.
