PERFECT ORGANISM is a cinematic scenario for the ALIEN roleplaying game. It is for 3-5 players.

It is 2180. It is ten months since the events on LV-426 that resulted in the atmosphere processor exploding and the loss of Hadley’s Hope. Shortly after, the Sulaco went missing.

The USCMC, ICC and Weyland-Yutani are all conducting investigations.

Now, the Coyote brings the investigation team LV-426. What will they find...?

Six weeks after the loss of Hadley’s Hope, Weyland-Yutani installed Kathar Station in orbit around LV-426.

Kathar’s Station’s mission is to monitor the radiation cloud created by the destruction of the atmosphere processor, and to monitor for survivors.

Kathar Station is a six-person monitoring station, with a flatbed lifter for planetfall. Two tethered cargo modules (accessible by EVA) contain additional food and supplies for the crew.
