Illustration of Scheming Scientist

Many scientists pursue knowledge to make the world a better place, but some instead seek it out to further their own selfish schemes. These Foes want to unlock the secrets of Mars so they can gain control over it. They see the Red Planet as their own personal playground for conducting unsettling experiments and building dangerous devices. The scariest part is that they go about their schemes undetected, while blending in with the other colonists.

Adventure ingredients

  • Stolen Artifact: A scheming scientist has stolen an ancient artifact from the main laboratory and is experimenting on it down in the secret lab underneath the colony. They're crafting a weapon that gives them magical powers on par with the kitties'! Unless the kitties can put a stop to this nefarious plan, the whole colony has to do this scientist's bidding.
  • Horde of Minions: A scheming scientist is gathering a horde of minions from around Mars by repurposing the ancient mechanicals (p. 23), ancient turrets (p. 24), and even some of the colony's own robotic equipment. As far as the colonists can tell, something from outside the colony is orchestrating the mayhem these minions are causing but the true puppeteer is one of them.
