Four marines go journeying through dark and desolate corridors in search of a creature that is accustomed to the shadows. The hot breath of the beast is at their backs. The endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species' ebony skin and savage teeth glisten. Even through the creature's current pitch black surroundings.
The underground carven is the current lair of these unearthly monstrosities. The four marines are well armed and well trained. They act fearless in the face of this hellish danger. But even so, shivers scurry down the spines of these harden soldiers, for the embodiment of death stalks their fragile lives. The Marines have only one mission and that is to escape.
