Dugger!

*Dugger! * A game of survival and escape on a hostile world The surveyors stared at the old audio/visual log brought out of the abandoned escape pod. Thick jungle had once covered the planet OR-2569-III, but now the sun beat down over burned-out landscape. The reason for the massive defoliation of this sector lay in the planet’s more ominous common name, “Dugger’s World”. Rewinding the log a little, one of the surveyors switched it on.

_“The distress beacon is smashed,” the Science Officer said. “The pod took some hits when our ship broke apart in the atmosphere.”
“Captain,” the Communications Officer said. “Without that beacon, no one is coming for us.”
The Captain said, “Don’t plan our funerals just yet. The beacon on our Scout Ship is designed to survive even after most of the ship is destroyed. We will hike back to the crash sight and activate that beacon.”
“This is Dugger’s World, Captain,” said the Environmental Specialist. “We will not get far before they come after us. The Duggers are dog sized, crab-like carnivours. They thrive in this dense jungle.”
“Time these Duggers learn who is at the top of the food chain,” scoffed the Security Specialist. “We have plenty of ammo, so grab some spine and a battle rifle and let’s teach these creatures a little fear!”
“Most of us are not trained for this, Captain,” the Science Officer pleaded.
“You’re about to get a crash course,” the Captain said. “Saddle up, everyone, we have a long walk ahead of us. And leave the log. If we make it out of this we’ll be heroes, if not, well, someone should know what happened to us.”_
