Summary

The C9253 cargo ship is set to return to Earth in four Human Gregorian weeks. In the Corporation's eyes, all is on schedule.

Onboard, however, the crew appear ill at ease. Strange occurrences seem to cling to the ship, Droid and Human crewmembers alike tense and closing ranks.

No matter. Gamma Shift and its list of cleaning tasks awaits you. Wait, what was that about a spyware Droid being captured onboard?

You play as Zed, a cleaning Droid aboard a starship who encounters a fleeing spyware Droid. Together, you must work to figure out what is happening onboard. But, with Terran Human and Droid communications growing increasingly strained, and Earth's future hanging in the balance over the terms of Allied Cosmos' interplanetary agreement, what will the evidence you find mean for Terrans and non-Terrans once the news hits Earth?
