A space station/colony thing.

Okay, ready for this? The year is 2098. The space station Terra Nova had been orbiting earth since 2079. Since its construction, it has been a haven for scientists, philosophers, and generally great examples of human beings. In late 2094, scientific breakthroughs in a number of fields were recorded- most notably in exploration of other universes and dimensions. Rumor on Earth is that the men on the Terra Nova opened a gate, a portal... To another place. And what they found is the reason no one has received word from the station in over three months. Any messages sent are not returned, any ships sent to the station never return.

You are a mercenary, fresh from the wars over the rescources of Antarctica. Accustomed to dirty, brutal work, the creator of the Terra Nova hires you to run a secret mission to the station and find out what happened there. You accept, and from the launch station on a remote Scottish island that ostensibly holds just an old lighthouse, you are rocketed of to the Terra Nova, but crash land in one of the loading docks. It's dark and as you attempt to claw out of the wreckage with the help of a crowbar, you witness a man being torn apart by something that doesn't even look human. As you finally free yourself, a voice crackles over your radio, introducing himself and promising to help the mercenary stay alive...
