It is not a dungeon. It is a living nest planet filled with tunnels, chambers, and endless Skarnid soldiers preparing to invade Earth. Their quest is simpleDestroy or collect 12 Skarnid eggs before the countdown ends. These are no chickens, and together these eggs are the key to opening a path from the nest planet straight to Earth. If Hank and Angelo fail, the Skarnid will hatch an invasion force large enough to consume everything Angelo’s people stayed behind to build. The Sojourner and the Prowler must fight side by side.Together, they may be Earth’s last chance against a different Swarm that was born to conquer worlds.
