What Lies Beneath?

One week ago, a cargo freighter carrying miners and mining equipment departed for Tiberius IV, a desert planet said to be rich in dilithium and decalithium. All communications ceased shortly after the ship entered the atmosphere. There is no sign of the freighter on the planet. No sign of debris indicating a crash. Nothing.

A team was dispatched from Starbase Typhon to investigate the disappearance. They, too, are missing.

Now it falls to the Orion, on leave at the Starbase, to go to Tiberius IV and find out what happened to the two ships. Could something lurk beneath the shifting sands of the unexplored planet? And can the crew of the Orion find the answers before they, too, are lost forever?
