are dragged off to the queen to be implanted again!  The PCs will hopefuly be able to kill the queen, and then destory the town and its infection.  (such as burning it to the ground)* Lots of old Elder race ruins.  Ancient stone towers and buildings full of the magic-as-science knowledge of the elder race.  Good news: these places are very old and mostly picked over already... so few traps or mosnters are left.  Also, all the books and the like are in an alien language so the PCs won't (at least at low levels) need to worry about reading something nasty.  Bad news: you can't read the signs so you just might open up the pits holding the nasty outerspawn-slaves of the elder race... or activate ancient artifacts best not used blindly, etc.* More recent complexes that were (or are!) homes to the reborn wizards in human bodies.  The good news: you have human languages (like greek and latin?!) so you might be able to read books, learn spells, or at least read warning lables on doors.  The bad news: if you can read it, it can drive you insane.  Also, as more recent buildings, they are more likely to have fresh still working traps and guardians.* Entire gambits of nasty Nazi projects.  Sub-human breeding camps.  Maybe they are trying to cross breed the sub-humans with all maner of things... or maybe their are camps for breeding nastier outerspawn creatures.  You also got some cybernetic type plants, where organic forms are refitted with mechanical limbs and organs... including outerspawn!  As always, these projects are lead and over seen by Inbred "pure" Nazis... but what about some in-pure half-bred ones as well, which might serve as leaders of sub-human groups.  Maybe some Nazi attempts at making and using undead?  maybe some attempts at generating and using mutants among the sub-humans?  Oh and maybe the leader of the Nazi is the last "surviving" Nazi scientist from the orginal project.  He's very much undead now, but is undead in large tank of chemicals that "keep him alive and preserved."  The other Nazi's call him Grandfather and Pure One, and claim him as their leader and master... but he's probably closer to a zombie under glass... and the insane Nazi simply read his odd movements as commands and responds to questions, etc.</blockquote>
