=/Sucks. I really liked this one.
Thank you & best of luck with your new adventures :)
'preciate you, Jelloarm! This was fun.
So did you have much in mind yet for Ren Obo//Tenzo Hyshi, or was that still a blank slate?

I know :( Me too.

Yeah, Ren/Tenzo was supposed to be another connection to the Fevercore mines - but he was also knowledgable about the mystic powers that could be harnessed from the abyssium. He'd serve to help you figure out some of the more eldritch goings-on, especially with the technomancer going biohacker and the mystic player going MIA. The Big Story was pretty well mapped out in my head, so supporting details were pretty easy to link to the greater story.
While we're at spoilering what would have come - who was the evil mastermind behind all that? And why?
The basic mishap to cover up seems to be colonizing an not so uninhabited planet for the greater good of the company. But with what we got so far, there was too little detail to make heads and tails of it.

Yeah, the evil mastermind? A partnership between the governer of Prosperity, an as-of-yet unnamed osharu spellcaster, and the Griggorim queen living underneath the planet, crafting her own servitor races from her own flesh. The Aspis employees on planet thought they were simply a shadowy place to be conducting technomagical biotech research, but the governer's plans involved more eldritch aims, helping the griggorim in summoning creatures of the Dark Tapestry to the planet.
The griggorim were opposed by the other native species, the species that built Stamper (I can't remember if I named them), who had been hunted to the edge of extinction. With their society collapsed, they were living on the run in the tunnels under the city - moving from the stoneworked cities they'd lived in for generations into the unshaped caves further down where the griggorim lived, serving as an underground nomadic warrior tribe in resistance to the Mythos-influenced fleshwarping of the griggorim. Pretty sure I was going to bring back Kindu as an NPC, having been travelling with them after they found him barely alive.
So in short, the cover-up and framing of you was to try to keep the existence of the undercity, and the inhabitants thereof, a secret from the populace, at least until the Aspis could finish cleaning up after the griggorim slaughter.
Also, I was probably going to have Longshot get found, ambushed, and probably killed? This was not going to be a Pleasant Campaign to be an NPC in.
