Mothership: Gradient Descent Ep 14 - Sci-Fi Horror RPG | Steve

The Class V troopship Zhuangzi doesn't take kindly to the gang's wanton spacing of their employees. A game of cat and mouse ensues as David tries desperately to avoid target lock. Total catastrophe in this 100% void-of-space episode!


Curiosity laced with dread gets the better of the crew, as they make an unwelcome discovery inside the shipping crates stacked on the Deep's loading dock. Now the one entity they didn't want to disturb is officially... disturbed.

Inside the Artifact Comprehension Labs, the crew investigates a mysterious painting that seems to be the machinery's sole focus. Thulsa starts to go a bit loopy, and trouble comes knocking. And by "trouble", we mean TROUBLE.
