Your ship picks up the SOS signal sent from the research vessel Zebra, which has crashed on the planet UP-223S. The PCs are ordered to lead a rescue expedition using a small planetary lander, while the ship remains in orbit. In fact, the signal was sent by a race of alien thinking trees, who have taken control of Zebra and gained access to the crew's consciousness through telepathic abilities.
