Planet Omega 13 holds a grave danger. Whatever the cause, it has been killing Advancers sent to investigate, one by one. The Domestic Union of Arms is baffled, so top DUA officer Mugal decides to assign the task to the most dangerous, independent, and expendable Advancer available. They identify such an Advancer in the renegade Tina Owens. Currently serving a 2,000-year sentence for destroying a planet, she receives a tempting proposition. In exchange for leaving her cell, going to Omega 13, locating and eliminating any threats, and identifying exploitable resources for the Allied Earth Government, she will be released. Considering the apparent danger of Omega 13 (and reflecting on what remains undiscovered), how would you choose? Tina accepts the assignment and departs for the planet.
