Cut off from their rocket by an active volcano, the astronauts start the long trek across the Venusian desert - and are attacked by pterodactyls. But these pre-historic flying reptiles are only a foretase of what is to come.
The astronauts have trekked across the vast Venusian desert to return to their rocket. But as they near MR4, volcanic ash sets the jungle aflame - and MR4 is in the centre of the inferno.
