complete supply of drugs and blood. We even have all od your blood types.
   "This room," Rudenko says, pointing to the room in the center of the bay, "is your home for the next two years. These are your hibernacula."

Tanya tells the Americans that Dr. Rudenko will wake them when the Leonov reaches Jupiter. She says goodby to them and leaves them with Rudenko.
   The Americans must put on special jumpsuits. Dr. Rudenko attaches several leads and meters to each suit, then asks the Amercians to lie down in their hibernacula.
   Dr. Rudenko injects a preserving fluid into each Amercian before closing and sealing their hibernacula lids. A few minutes later, each PC's heartbeat and breath rate slow to the point where only a machine can detect them.

APPROACHING JUPITER
The Leonov's long voyage to the Jupiter system is uneventful. However, just after entering the system, Vasili detects strange

 readings from Europa, one of jupiter's moons. To determine what Vasili detects, roll 1d10 and consult Table 5 below. (Tables 1-4 are on Map 8.)

TABLE 5.  EUROPA READINGS


DIE
ROLL		 READING
1-3 Magnetic field similar to the field of the monolith found on the Earth's moon.
4-6 Radio signal broadcasting an organized but indecipherable message.
7-0 Traces of chlorophyll on the moon's surface. (Chlorophyll is found only in living things.)



 

 Nearly 2 years after boarding the Leonov, the Americans are slowly brought out of hibernation. When they come to, they are very stiff and very hungry. Though 2 years have passed, the Amercians have only aged 2 weeks.
   After the PCs have a chance to eat, Tanya calls a meeting to discuss with them thestrange readings that Vasili detected from Europa. The characters cannot determine any more about Europa from the Leonov. If they want more information, they must send a remote probe or a manned expedition of modified work pods to Europa.
   Place a ship counter for the Leonov from your KNIGHT HAWKS game on the hex marked "A" on map 8. Place planet counters on the round starting positions for Europa and Io.
   The Leonov is hurtling toward Jupiter at more than 80,000 kilometers per hour. Begin moving the Leonov one hex each hour along the red dotted line on the map. The Leonov cannot change course until after it slows down by aerobraking (see Chapter 2). Move the moons around Jupiter according to Table 4.
   They can launch a remote probe to investigate Europa, go to chapter 10 before continuing with chapter 2.
