Structure

Exposition

The CalciCo. Corporation has been hit by a series of disruptions in normal operations in one of their largest mining facilities, the Korid Mining Complex which lies deep in the The Tharius Cluster and has received a call for assistance from the facility. The Alien pathogen is infecting the ships crewmen and is attempting to propagate and multiply through various hosts but is having difficulty getting off the facility because of the lack of a ship with the capabilities of getting off.

Components

Goals

The players must find out what happened at the facility.

Hooks

Players will be attacked by victims exposed to this virus.

Stakes

The DigiDemic could intensify and spread if the players do not find a way to contain it.

Cruel Tricks

The PixelCo. handler with the players will actually be an agent of the Endar Containment Bureau (ECB) sent to retrieve a sample of the virus.

Red Herrings

The surviving human population will have been infected with the digi virus and will lead the players to conclude that the virus is simply a bizarre pathogen that only infects the humans. This will be shown in the takeover of one of the mining quadrants by a group of these "infected." This is intended to distract the players from the fact that the "virus" is actually a new program that when in contact with an entity that possesses an artificial "intelligence" causes it to change. The KM-7 (Kaylum Model 7) incident is a result of this.
