Introduction

The deep space cargo vessel CYGNUS has been attacked by pirates from the evil planet Retipujeca. It is believed that all the crew were killed, and the entire cargo stolen. As team leader of the galaxy patrol squad responsible for this sector, it is your job to investigate the apparently lifeless spacecraft, and to report back to headquarters on Earth.

The final approach to CYGNUS is made by backpack due to the boarding hatch being destroyed in the attack. You decided to go alone, because most people consider you unworthy of the leadership posting, and you need to prove to the world that you not just a trumped up. whimpish nerk.
