Encounter-a-Day

The PCs are scientists working for the US government in the years building up to World War II. Hitler has just come into power, and is not quite yet seen as the threat he truly is. The US government discovers strange radio signals coming from deep in the Amazon rainforest, and sends the PCs along with a military escort to investigate.

Along the way, the PCs meet up with some German scientists with their own military escort who are bound for the same site. The commander of the US troops decides that it’s in their best interests to work with the Germans, and so the two groups go together to investigate.

When the source of the mysterious radio signals is finally located, it’s discovered to be an alien craft hidden in the heart of a pyramid. The following day, while the scientists are investigating it, the Germans betray the Americans and kill all of the troops. One of the soldiers manages to warn the PCs, but they’re now on their own and must make sure the technology doesn’t fall into German hands, not to mention escape with no military or survival training!
