Storyline

Using their knowledge of weathering and erosion, the crew will try to save a colony from landslides.

A colony on Vespus is in a state of emergency. Many of their buildings have been swept away by landslides, and it’s continuing to happen! The city had an emergency meeting to talk about what might be causing the landslides. In that meeting, they came up with a list of possible reasons this is happening. We need to investigate those allocations and provide a solution before the whole city is destroyed!
