The Rosetta Plague

The Rosetta Plague was an adventure written for Adventures in Time and Space: The Roleplaying Game. It was the second adventure in the game's second expansion, Aliens and Creatures.
== Synopsis ==
The TARDIS arrives on the TAS Thoth, a Torchwood Archive ship on a survey mission to the Ashen Stars. An area of space legendary for never having been home to life of any kind, the Ashen Stars is a stellar nursery whose massive solar winds obscure any attempts at scanning from outside. It is also a region at the centre of political tension, as it acts as a border between Krillitane and Raxacoricofallapatorian space. The crew of the Thoth have been picked in an effort to ease tensions, with both races equally represented.
But something has gone horribly wrong. The characters arrive to find the ship quarantined on every level, with a disease running rampant through the crew. Despite the crew’s best efforts, led by Captain Zack Cross Flane from Sanctuary Base Six, the disease is still spreading and the ship is under Torchwood Protocol One. Once 90 per cent of the crew are infected, it will self destruct. With time running out, the Doctor and his friends must find the cure before the ship is destroyed.

== Worldbuilding ==
=== Space ===
* Krillitane space bordered Raxacoricofallapatorian space.
=== Torchwood ===
* By 4241, the Torchwood Archives had ships with Krillitane, Raxacoricofallapatorian, and Clomian crewmembers, as well as Humans.
== Notes ==
* Though the text of the adventure was designed to accommodate players playing as any combination of characters, the narrative predominantly emphasized the presence of the Doctor as a Player Character - in particular, the inclusion of Zachary Cross Flane from The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit and his recognition of the character lends credence to this as a Tenth Doctor adventure.
* The adventure also specified that Zachary Cross Flane could be a player-controlled character as opposed to an NPC.
* This adventure was set 20 years after the events of The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit.
