Description

Unit Four, a biological soft robot, is activated for the first time in crisis mode. Aliens are attacking a Helium-3 mine it was created to oversee, and its sole purpose is to defend Earth's largest energy resource from the invaders in ship-to-ship combat. However, something feels off. Unit Four can't account for certain files in its databanks, unusual chemical combinations are running through its pipes, and its knowledge of the aliens is suspiciously sparse. Determined to fulfill its directives, it launches its ship and goes on the attack, but it's about to get caught in a downward spiral of misinformation, reprogramming, and interstellar conflict. As Unit Four navigates this complex situation, it begins to question its own existence and purpose. Is it just a tool, or is something more at play?
