The Invasion

This wasn’t supposed to happen. Just spend a year working up at the space station, which, aside from the fact of it being miles above the atmosphere, was pitched as a heavily secured facility. But now, hear you all are; trapped with almost no power and no hope as some unidentified being(s) have infiltrated this steel container somehow. With one operating generator left and oxygen depleting, there’s no time to waste as you make one last attempt to get in contact with another nearby base.

In this adaptation of the popular game The Resistance, it’s now a race against time to keep your facility stable and get in contact with the other unaware base whilst staying on your toes to ensure the foreign lifeforms don’t take over and end up leaving you and those unaware likely for dead. The aliens are aggressive and wish nothing more than to feed off of their human hosts. Every moment of the 20 minutes remaining before oxygen is depleted is vital, and any failed missions will allow the aliens to make your situation even more dire as they suck away even more. But still, you were all sent out here for a reason, and in this worst case scenario it's time to put your special skills to work. Whether it be testing crew members to ensure that they are still human or making a snap judgement to take one out if the situation worsens, utilize your intuition, adaptation, and most of all trust to determine whether or not you’ll make it out alive. Unless you’ve been turned, of course; in that case, lull these humans into a false sense of hope and continue... The Invasion.
