Dr. Eva Rostova arrives on Aethelgard , a planet with 6-month dark, freezing winters and 6-month scorching summers. The previous, conventionally-built, research hub has been destroyed. The surviving colony is losing hope and turning into a “hostile work environment”. Eva is the only one who can fix the environmental core.
