Planet of Lust

You are commander Doe, hero of the Earth Alliance. Your latest mission has sent you to the planet of Eros, in search of the lost expedition of Professor Pong, which went down into the murky atmosphere three earth days ago. You know that you've been given this assignment because of the success of your latest exploit, in which you re-discovered the ancient Tantric tribe of Venus. Finding the remnants of a culture lost for a thousand years should make finding a scientific expedition lost for a few weeks child's play.

Along with your co-pilot, a Venusian named Lilah, you have arrived in orbit around Eros. The mist which enshrouds the planet makes all sensors useless in determining what is below, but the last contact with the expedition indicated they went down somewhere in the southern polar region. Unlike the frozen poles on Earth, however, Eros' "Antarctic" region is actually quite lush and covered with jungles and swamps.

You turn to Lilah, not for the first time admiring her smooth green skin and wide emerald eyes. "Well, Lilah, what do you recommend? I think we should just set 'her down and take a look around." Lilah had been invaluable on your last expedition, and you know that her perspective can often shed light on a problem. Wasn't it she, after all, who finally realized how to get past the Tantric guardian of the lost tribe? You still have wet dreams remembering the way she..."distracted" him while you made your way past.

Lilah raises an eyebrow. "Simply rushing in might be premature. Maybe we should try the radio first."
