Something has gone terribly wrong on the Rimor 89.

Can the remaining crew figure out whats happening? Or will the Rimor 89 end up as yet another wreck on the ocean floor?

ABOUT YOUR GAME MASTER
I've been playing TTRPGs for 7 years after stumbling my way through running the 5e starter set for my partner and her friend. Since then I've found a passion for discovering interesting systems and using them as an outlet for my love of storytelling. I usually run science fiction games because I am a massive scifi nerd, but I also enjoy running fantasy, cosmic horror, and just about anything else.
