Millions of years ago, a meteor survived the plunge through the Earth's atmosphere, impacting in the then warm climes of Antartica. The explosion destroyed all life for hundreds of miles around, but generations later the crater had become the centre of an ecosystem that defied the laws of nature...
The first people to discover this land were a tribe of Polynesians. Despite the now freezing conditions on the Antarctic continent surrounding the crater, the tribe discovered an abnormal abundance of life and the people settled, worshipping the meteorite crater for the powers it appeared to hold.
Generations later though, catastrophic events forced them to flee in terror...
The next visitors, hundreds of years later, were sailors from The Beagle. Looking for supplies, they stumbled on the cave system surrounding the meteorite crater...but only one man made it out alive...
Today, the same area is being excavated by the research company; RX Tech, who are picking up unusual readings from the meteorite's impact zone. It is in this zone that they uncover the body of a sailor from Charles Darwin's voyage.
Following a story from one of the sailor's journal, the research company have started to take a particular interest in, not only the crater area, but other parts of the globe where the sailors subsequently travelled to...and died in...
One of these places is India - where Lara Croft is currently searching for the legendary Infada artefact. Unaware of it's true history, she knows only that in local beliefs it was supposed to hold great powers and has been revered by tribes there throughout the years...
Soon she will discover much more...
