October 14 - Dying Hard on Hardlight Station
Description: Tonight is Christmas Eve, decorations line the halls and many of the 100 or so residents of Hardlight are in the midst of a wild night of festive revelry when Blackshield crashes the party, mercs corralling locals into the atrium for questioning. Administrator McClane has locked the station down from her office, where she has barricaded herself behind a phalanx of automated defences, and Dr. Holland Gennero, Healthtek project lead, has mysteriously gone missing. This adventure features optional secret agendas, alien mutations and a very familiar movie inspiration.
Trigger warnings: violence, blood, gore, vomit
October 21 - Plant-Based Paranoia
Description: A distress signal traced to a distant jungle planet. A secret research facility. Your mission: investigate the planet and report your findings. This adventure features clones, a mystery to solve and what happens with AI meets sentient plants.

October 28 - Year of the Rat
Description: The players have been sent to retrieve the black box of the casino ship, The Year of the Rat, for the insurance company Flysafe. The ship went missing a month ago, resulting in a 10mcr insurance claim. The players have been sent to retrieve the ship’s black box so Flysafe can deny this claim, as payment they have been granted salvage rights. This adventure is a classic dungeon-crawl style scenario that features mutated creatures, a huge payday and challenges to overcome corporate greed.
Trigger warnings: (giant) rats, severed limbs, beheading, gore, violence, mutation, blood, rot/disease
