FEAR OF THE DARK
Are you familiar with Murphy's Law? It basically says if 
something can fuck up, it almost certainly will sooner or later. 
This time it happened to our sensors.
You're going into an area with no advance information on it.
I hope you're not afraid of the dark... or are you?
 
 
SCANNER MALFUNCTIONS
====================
The scanner systems we use to detect bio-signatures and the 
R.A.T. scout drones you are already familiar with are both pretty 
complex devices - and every now and then they can suffer a 
complete failure, forcing you to go on a mission without full 
knowledge of the area.
 
Scanner failures can deny you the map of the area or the 
ability to detect enemy presence in advance - or sometimes both. 
The briefing will always specify if that's the case or not.
