Expedition IL5, comprised of scientists and archaeologists employed by the Kornova Corp, was engaged in the excavation of old remains belonging to an unrecorded species located beneath a glacier. Upon breaching a previously unexplored section of the ruins, they inadvertently freed a hazardous entity that subsequently started to hunt the expedition's personnel. This entity, a bio-engineered creature of great skill, crafted by the ancient species to function as a flawless assassin, successfully rendered IL5's starship inoperable, along with a significant portion of their communication systems. Ultimately, the members of Expedition IL5 were able to assemble a makeshift broadcasting device, which they used to transmit an emergency signal.
