Chan Li serves as a crew member aboard a spaceship en route to the planet Inferno II, a mission launched following the loss of a previous vessel near that world.

Chan Li is one of nine crew members confronting a hostile entity on Inferno II. This entity preys upon the crew using psychic abilities to induce fear-based hallucinations, manifestations tailored to each victim's psyche. These lethal hallucinations can appear as sudden environmental shifts—like snow falling inside a spacecraft cockpit—or visions of monstrous entities. Typically preceding direct physical assaults, these psychic attacks result in high fatalities among the crew.
