From publisher blurb:
A child's life hangs in the balance. Dr. Aria Sonn, a brilliant scientist driven to the brink by desperation, seeks the heroes’ help. She offers a king's ransom and a daring plan: infiltrate the lab, steal a forbidden artifact locked away in a high-security government lab, and save her daughter's life. Sonn's actions are morally ambiguous, a desperate mother defying interstellar law, but can the voyagers justify the means for such a noble end? They find out during a thrilling heist in the frigid depths of the planet Burnham, infiltrating the hidden Precursor lab, navigating deadly robot patrols, and outsmarting the system. But failure is not an option; if caught, the team faces execution, and Sonn's daughter will be left to die. How far will the PCs go to save a life?
The Nth Degree is a short science fiction adventure using the Cepheus Engine, Cepheus Deluxe and Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game rules. Other 2D6 systems are easily adapted.
