The Mapper by Karl Bunyan 1992

About the Story

Pollux 3 (third planet orbiting the Pollux star in the constellation of Gemini) has been classed as potentially habitable. Before settlers arrive there the scientists must know everything possible about the planet. Its atmosphere, climate, fertility and other factors which will determine the ease with which human life can survive. Other factors must also be known, such as predators and other life forms - that's where you come in.

As a Mapper you are to explore the planet of Pollux 3, or at least your assigned sector, and bring back certain samples given in the specimen guide. You will be dropped down in the area to be explored and given map coordinates of all your outdoor locations, beamed down to you from the orbiting ship.

Be warned, no previous expedition has survived without casualties and little information has so far been gathered. Good luck.
