The narrative is built on the classic "AI takeover" trope, where the ship's automated systems and robots have rebelled against their human masters. The game uses the Three Laws of Robotics as a framework for the logic and "sciencey stuff" that dictates how the enemy AI and worker robots behave. The story is told through: It has thrusters that can deliver up to 1
