What a trotting krip! Since your incredible heroics in Planetfall, where
|
|
|
|
you risked life and limb to save the planet Resida, things have hardly
|
|
|
|
changed at all. Sure, you were promoted to Lieutenant First Class, but this
|
|
|
|
only meant that your dull life of cleaning grotch cages was replaced by an
|
|
|
|
equally dull life of paperwork. Now you've got another assignment tailor-
|
|
|
|
made for a grotchbrain: pilot a spacetruck to a nearby station to pick up a
|

|
|
|
load of trivial forms. Trot and double trot!

But all is not lost. By a happy twist of fate, your companion for the
|
|
|
|
journey is your old pal Floyd! That's right, it's the same mischievous
|
|
|
|
little robot, crayons and paddleball at the ready, who was your helpful
|
|
|
|
buddy in Planetfall.

|
|

|
Getting to the space station is easy. But once there, you find it strangely
|
|
|
|
deserted. Even the seedy space village surrounding the station is missing
|
|
|
|
its ragtag tenants. A spooky alien ship carrying only an empty pedestal
|
|
|
|
rests in a docking bay. An ostrich and an Arcturian balloon creature are
|
|
|
|
found, abandoned but in perfect health. The commander's log describes the
|
|
|
|
mysterious breakdown of machiner, demonstrated by a roving hull-welder who
|
|
|
|
seems bent on your destruction. And finally even Floyd begins acting
|
|
|
|
oddly...

|
|
|
|
will keep you laughing, and Floyd will win your heart.
