Doc and Belinda are still struggling to get back to Earth in 2025 because, maybe, there’s no Earth to go back to! Cue immediate action to solve that really rather large problem? Nope, let’s jump forward 500,000 years and dress up as soldiers instead. Yes, Doc needs to drop the Vindicator somewhere to get a new reading but that’s not before he and Bell have been blasted down to an unknown planet as part of some future army’s troop deployment. A quick wave of the psychic paper though and Doc gets a briefing on what’s going on and a front-row seat for the events that follow.
You see there was a colony base on this planet but no one’s heard from them for a while. It soon becomes pretty obvious why: they’re all dead. Well not quite all of them. There’s one survivor, Aliss, but it’s not clear if she got lucky or if she’s really a cold hearted killer beneath the surface. While Doc goes to find out just what the colonists dug up, Bell goes into full nurse mode to patch Aliss up and help her cope with the whole shitstorm of a situation. But when Bell spots something behind Aliss’s back the scene is set for violent deaths, jump scares and the return of a forgotten foe.
