Excavation Begun Near Paradise City

It was just an ordinary night in Paradise City for Doug Gutterspit. A few rounds at Ziggy’s, some lost-cause gambling at Gimme All Your Money and then, off to his favorite hole to forget about it.

But what Doug wasn’t expecting was that on this night, someone else had already decided to flop in his spot. So rather than make an issue with a stranger who was very likely armed, he went off in search of another hole… something left over from the old ice mining days in what is now Paradise City.

Well, Doug found his new hole. It was probably the result of wind erosion over time. He had never seen it before. All the better for him, he must have been thinking. In he went, expecting to find nothing more than a comfy spot on this barren space rock. Before he got out, his life was forever changed…



Offworld Ice and Water Mining, who owns all of Paradise City and adjacent land, has now cordoned off the area. The hole…. Was not just a hole. It was an entrance into a subterranean world left by a race of beings a million years ago. It is their grave… essentially, an alien catacomb.

Exploration and excavation has just begun.
