Story
The game takes place 300 years in the future. The world is completely controlled by corporations, and the concept of nation is unknown.
The player is a newly hired security guard for the Nataka Corporation, a multi-planet organization patterned loosely after mid-20th century Conglomerates such as Siemens A.G., Sara Lee or General Electric. A conglomerate is a large Company that consists of seemingly unrelated Business sections
In the middle of the first level, the assignment being to patrol an automated outpost, the outpost is suddenly attacked by forces from Network 53, a branch of the Argus Industrial Corporation and a long-standing ally. Getting through this level takes the player from "newbie" to nearly expert quickly.
