**THE STORY**

While on a routine scouting mission in an empty sector of space, you are suddenly ambushed by a squadron of ships. 
A bright flash of light seems like it might be the end, but incredibly you wake up to discover yourself in an alien
base. While robots are distracted sorting through items from your ship, you realize they have carelessly left 
an EMP grenade within your reach. Quickly using it to dispatch with your captors, you put on your space suit and
look around for your launch key and laser, but they are nowhere to be found. You have soon have bigger problems,
however -- a loud banging on the door of the examination room. Seeing no other option, you jump into a transporter 
as you hear the door break down. If the teleporter doesn't kill you, you'll have to find your launch key, laser, and 
your ship... and hope there isn't anything else to keep you from escaping and warning Space Fleet know about this 
new hostile species.
