Synopsis

Plot

Junkyard 1:
It is late in the 24th century. As your alter-ego, Dr. Alvin Nemesis, you are one of the co-authors of the Android Bill of Rights. While watching a vidcast, the mysterious organization known as HAAL has kidnapped you. You have been injected with a slow poison and dumped in a JUNKYARD. Your only hope is to find the needed parts to build an android and transfer into it.

Junkyard 2:
You begin here having made a successful transfer into your new android body. The JUNKYARD was destroyed by the transfer machine, but you managed to escape into an airlock that exits into an underground service area. You have just 8 hours before the last transport ship lifts for space and leaves you stranded. You must locate the YAWMART transport tube and take it to the launch area while either repairing or finding a way around the traps that HAAL has laid for you.

Junkyard 3:
Here you will find the most difficult challenges barring your escape. Everything behind you has been either shut-down or destroyed. All the ways forward to the waiting spacecraft seem to be blocked or rigged by HAAL and you have only 4 hours before lift-off! Find the ship and lift-off successfully before the ship does or HAAL will make sure that the Android Bill of Rights never comes to pass!
