Due to damage sustained during the storm, the 'Epic' has been forced down to an apparently uninhabited planted for urgent repairs. Whilst on-planet, the ship, unknown by the crew, became infected with an alien life form (ALF). Repairs made, the ship set off on its journey home to Altontron. It was then they became aware of the ALF. Investigations of the ALF by the medical centre produced the following data. 1) The ALF was a virus type of creature with an incubation period of 12 days. 2) After 12 days. it metamorphosed into pools of slime with the ability to grow and move. 3) After a short period, it then became into a slime walking monster. 4) The final transformation was into a large walking slime throwing monster, some of which appear to have the power to turn invisible. Several crew members have been killed on contact with the ALF. The captain of the Epic gave the order to abandon ship and the crew teleported to a nearby planetoid to await rescue. The last crew member to leave, activated the ships into clean system whose Servo droids would hunt and destroy only ALF's on the ship. On hitting an ALF, they self destruct, leaving their energy rolls behind. Also activated was a mayday message: TSS - EPIC TO UFP COMMAND SHIP OVERRUN WITH ALF'S SEND N.E.I.L. DROIDS KILL ALL LIFEFORAAAAARRRHHH!!! Take the part of N.E.I.L., the half human, half cyborg, mercenary who can go where no human can go. Arriving at the location of the TSS Epic, you have teleported aboard to clear the ship of ALF's in order for the crew to return and continue their voyage. At the bottom right of the screen are three Icons. From top to bottom these are: OXYGEN COUNTER - If this reaches 0, N.E.I.L. loses a life. This Icon will flash if 1 energy cell will transfer the energy into this. AMMO COUNTER - If this reaches 0, you are out of ammo. Should you have two energy cells, pressing space will increment the ammo counter. SMART BOMB - This requires 3 energy cells. Pressing 'space' to activate will destroy all ALF's in the room. So there you have it, the mission is yours if you accept it. Good Luck.

En el ano 2199, la astronave 'Epic' fué forzade por una tormenta de plasma a abandonar su rumbo a través de una alabeo espacial hacia espacio desconocido. Debido a las averias sufridas durante la tormenta, 'Epic' ha sido obligado a tomar tierra en un planeta aparentemente desierto par llevar a cabo urgentes reparaciones. Mientras estaba en el planeta, la aeronave, sin el conocimiento de la tipulación, ha sido infectado por una vida ajena (ALF). Investigación de ALF por el centre médico produce la siguiente información: 1) ALF es un ser tipo virus con un periodo de incubación de 12 dias. 2) Deispués de 12 dias, se transforma en charcos de cieno que pueden crecer y moverse. 3) Después de cierto tiempo corto, se convierten en un monstruo de cieno ambulante. 4) La metamorfosis final es en un gran monstruo con la capacidad de lanzar cieno, algunos de los cuales poséen el poder de hacerse invisibles. Varios de la tripulación han muerto al tocar el ALF. El Capitán del 'Epic' f ha dado la orden de abandonar la aeronave y de teleportar la tripulación a un planetoide cercano y alli esperar el rescate. El último que salga de la tripulación, activa el sistema de Limpieza cuyos robots Servo perseguiran y destruiran solamente los ALF de la aeronave. Cuando se alimentan de ALF, se autodestruyen, dejando detrás sus unidades de energia.

Toma la parte de N.E.I.L., el mercenario mitad ser humano, mitad robot cyborg, capaz de ir donde non lo puede hacer un ser humano. Al llegar donde está la Epic, te has teleportado a bordo para eliminar a ALF y permitir que la tripulación vuelva y continue su viaje. Al lado derecho de la pantalla hay tres simbolos.
