Victor Thompson is a xenoarchaeologist who was sent, along with his family, to investigate caverns on the planet Sargon IV. Before even landing on the planet, many of the crew had taken sick with a strange illness, leaving them bedridden. With the crew diminished by illness, Victor and his son Charlie were among the first to explore the caverns… and the first to encounter the Aliens. Soon after, Thompson finds himself alone, buried under tons of earth in an escape pod while Aliens swarm overhead. He hasn’t long to live, but in those final hours he fantasizes about being a hero, a perfect father, and salvation – in short, all the things that never really were, and now never could be.

Story/Spoilers
In issue # 1, Thompson, a geological surveyor on a remote planet, has the perfect life. A loving wife, a son in little league, even a pesky neighbor. The only problem is, Thompson’s life may be all a dream. The reality may be that he’s trapped underground in an escape pod with hours to live. And, creatures with claws and acid blood are pounding on the door…

Next in issue # 2, While trying to cope with a mysterious epidemic, the scientific expedition is nearly wiped out by a series of horrific encounters with the Aliens – and Thompson tries to keep a grip on his sanity in an underground sanctuary.

Finally in issue # 3, Surveyor Thompson was sure he had destroyed the Aliens. But when the vile creatures start sprouting human chestbursters, he gets the distinct feeling that he’s hallucinating… again. Trapped in an underground escape pod, he recollects his crew’s fatal meeting with the Aliens, and finally deduces the Company’s plot against them. But just because Thompson’s trapped, doesn’t mean he’s helpless. He’s devised a plan to avenge his colleagues and implicate the Company, even if it costs him his life.
