Millions of years ago, a meteor survived the plunge through the Earths
atmosphere, impacting in the then warm climes of Antarctica...
The first people to discover this land were a tribe of Polynesians. Despite the now freezing
conditions, there was an abnormal abundance of life and the tribe settled, worshipping the
meteorite crater for the powers it appeared to hold. Generations later though, catastrophic
events forced them to flee in terror...
Today, the same area is being excavated by the research company; RX
Tech, who are picking up unusual readings from the meteorites
impact zone.
It is in this zone that they uncover the body of a sailor from
Charles Darwin's voyage on The Beagle. A few of the sailors had
it seems, briefly explored the craters interior...
Following a story from one of the sailors journal, the research company have
started to take particular interest in, not only the crater
area, but other parts of the globe where the sailors
subsequently traveled to... and died in...
One of these places is India - where Lara is currently searching
for the legendary Infada artifact. Unaware of its true history, she only knows that in
local beliefs it was supposed to hold great powers and has
been revered by tribes there throughout the year...
Soon she will discover much more...
