Not necessarily Mark- there was a non-Mythos story set on a Venus
colonized
by raygun wielding
humans- "The Walls of Eryx", I think.  I think I've already mentioned an
old
White Dwarf (pre-Evil GW) SF CoC scenario, and a lot of the CoC critters
are
from other planets\stars.  I think it would make a nice change to
startle FT
players with the unexpected appearance of a vast, vaguely humanoid
"bioship", combining certain qualities of the dragon and the squid...
