[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7054224, member: 20323"] Alien retrovirus has infected the dinos, which are suffering massive sickness and die-offs affecting the bottom line of rugged frontier dino hunter types. Most are too concerned with catching a big score, however, to regulate their hunting practices. Only a senior retired dino hunter turned game warden realizes the danger affecting the dinos, but doesn't have resources to police reckless dino hunters. PCs come to station to retrieve a sample of some substance only produced in the jungles of the dino planet, like "bacta" from Star Wars, or any of the real-world drugs originating from rainforest medicine plants. However, the xenobiologist studying the substance has suffered destruction of her lab by rough dino hunters far crueler than any she's encountered before (they're really mercs on a mission). She can create more, however, if the PCs lead her to a certain grove...and she conveniently omits the fact that there's an alien retrovirus at play mutating the dinosaurs. Along the way, the PCs encounter: (1) Signs of the mercs guised as dino hunters. The mercs are bioengineered humans hired by whatever aliens unleashed the retrovirus to erase all evidence (including anyone who knows about the retrovirus). (2) Pulsing alien cocoon sacs hanging from trees holding dinosaurs in chrysalis state to a new alien-ified dinosaur form. (3) Peaceful brachiosaurs, possibly sick. (4) Dinosaur hunter after a velociraptor, who has lost contact with his base camp, and would make an excellent guide. [/QUOTE]
