The Orlocks of the Weyland-Yutani Combine have been on a long voyage across the Ash Wastes in search of the orgin of a wayward distress call from an unknown source. Out on a routine supply run their ridge hauler convoy was redirected by members of the guild of coin from it's orginal route to investigate a strange distress beacon far out in the Wastes and far from any roads. Deep in the Wastes on their search they've encountered nomads, exotic creatures, and even a hostile group of cold traders searching for the same beacon. The gang finally arrived at source only to discover an ancient and massive ship of presumably xenos orgin, it's shattered pieces strewn across the sands. Salvaging what little they could carry and hiding the rest deep under the sands the gang headed to the nearest settlement, Cassandra's Reach, to resupply. Once there they made their way deep into the Mire to report their findings to the local representatives of the guild of coin. Finding themselves trapped along with everyone else when the mag lift stopped working they now desperately attempting to escape in order to reap the rewards of the wreck they left buried in the sands.
