Blood On The Beaches - A Mutant Future Encounter Or An Encounter For Any Old School Campaign

The PC's are brought into the ruins of Daytona Florida by South Winds Society of 'Merica to collect a blood sample and data from the schools of Sand Sharks who have moved into the area several centuries ago. The communities around the area have tried to get rid of the land going sharks. The species is highly adaptable, breeds frequently, and has resisted very near every single effort used to exterminate them.
To the extent that the ruins of Daytona are now a land shark breeding area. The waters have swallowed up a good deal of what was once beach front property during the time of the apocalypse and the events afterwards. The waters have retreated making this area a very rich source for 'reclaimable materials'. Some of the super science nanite manufactured materials and high end micro miracle bots that still collect in tide pools. The sharks have an almost diabolical sense of those who deal in such salvage attacking in double school numbers.
The South Winds Society is a group of super scientists who have over the centuries studied the various species of sand shark from the desert variety( See Gamma World First Edition) of the Mexican and South Western desert to the various adapted species of the East and West coast of 'Merica.
The PC's are called in because the South Winds Society employs mercenaries every two years to collect data, blood samples from the sand sharks, and get a selection of high end micro miracle bots from some of the tide pools. The society is willing to pay 275 gold pieces and a minor artifact. They'll provide a special collection kit for the samples which includes a field generator for the nanites so that they don't effect the PC's. The kit has enough power for two days. A data record which will take three days worth of film, has a science sensor suite that a child can operate, and enough computing power to handle the collecting

The sharks are highly resistant to the nanites and miracle bots of the waters of Daytona. Anyone infected by the bots will have to make a save vs poison or they could be affected by the hellish machines.

The victim will immediately be tuned into a colony of Mi Go on Earth's moon who have decided to invade. The PC will be subject to the most sanity shattering secrets at night and take 1d4 points of damage as their body is wrecked by visions that border on the physical. 
10. Recreation Bots - The victim's internal organs are slowly turned into alien Lovecraftian worm things. Over the course of eight days the victim's internal organs become separate lifeforms and will begin to feed strange horrid thoughts and dreams to the PC. The PC each day must make a Wisdom check or be driven into the brink of horror and madness. Finally on the eighth day, the organs will try to burst forth from the facility. 

The PC's will be driven or sailed into the Daytona area and released at a safe spot for three days. They have that time to complete their tasks. The communities surrounding the area know of these expeditions and some bands of mutant raiders take full advantage to gain free artifacts and slaves.
