This level takes place after the events in "An AI Called Wanda", but features a different main character and was made to be enjoyed on its own.
The Pfhor have just become a little more EVIL, and it's up to
you, a professional exterminator, to stop them.
After humans began to explore space and colonize new worlds, they
encountered a variety of new creatures on these planets. Some
of the creatures were able to coexist peacefully with humans,
some were annoyances, and some were downright hostile and dangerous.
Sometimes these alien species were brought back to Earth by accident
or on purpose. Extermination companies soon had to deal with new
alien species, saw an opportunity to expand their businesses.
They began combat training their exterminators and equipping them
with more than just insecticides. Exterminators were soon being
sent to every new colony to control or wipe out hostile indigenous
species.
You are one of URKIN's best exterminators. You've been in some
hellish places, and have exterminated some nasty beasts: huge
snake-like creatures on Vega Prime, beetles big as houses on Lorash
Seven, and a particularly nasty species on LV426. Two weeks ago,
you received an extermination request from a science station.
Some unknown creature apparently killed someone. They couldn't
tell you much about it, just that it was big and seemed to have
a taste for human flesh. Perfect. When will people ever learn
to check cargo containers more carefully?
Now, you are finally reaching your destination. As you enter normal
space, you spot a large Pfhor warship sitting next to the space
station. One shot from the warship jars your craft and blows out
the rear cargo area, jettisoning most of your equipment into space.
A force field goes up to seal the hull breach. You start an evasive
maneuver and manage to avoid two more shots from the Pfhor. You
accelerate towards the station, trying to put the station between
you and the warship. Soon you are in the station's shadow, and
you dock the shuttle. You survey the damage and conclude that
you aren't leaving the station in this ship. You grab the shotgun
that you always keep next to you. It's gonna be one of those days...
It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
