The party’s first recon mission through The Portal to the alien planet Terra, tasked by Voss with finding the lost previous expedition and recovering any meteor fragments.

Key Discoveries

• Terra is a blasted, dead world with two suns and a thin but breathable atmosphere
• Terran Insectoid creatures inhabit underground tunnel networks across the landscape
• A human femur found in a bug nest and Hernandez’s torn fatigues confirm the previous team’s likely fate
• The Ruined City (Terra) contains evidence of a three-limbed alien civilisation destroyed roughly a century ago
• Drained meteorite fragments are present on Terra, detected by suit sensors near the bug tunnels and the city centre statue
• A swarm of 200-300 insectoid creatures was observed digging methodically north of the ruined city

Outcome

The team returned safely within the six-hour turnaround. Suit footage, alien artefacts, and Hernandez’s fatigues were turned over at debrief. Voss recommended closing the portal and placing defensive armaments at the threshold.
