Only the bioluminescence from the fungi keeps a full glow on the jungle floor, with only the occasional sliver of sunlight breaking through the dense canopy. Wet as a frog's back, hot as a panther's tongue, this kaleidoscope of flora and fauna plays host to innumerable species of every form, most of which can rip you to shreds or fill your veins with venom.
And guess who just crash landed here? An unmodified human. Not just any old squishy, but one - the only one - who knows how to tap out some value out of this forsaken death world.
So we best go get them.
