As KL-VN, a scout-type model appendage of [THE COLONY] (an autonomous conglomerate hive mind), you will excavate the entity-laden ruins of Novalis IV. Fight enemies of the metal, meat, and supernatural variety as you progress and grow stronger on your descent beneath the surface.
In a hostile and desperate universe, tiny robot drones such as yourselves seek out ways to strengthen your meat mutagen traversal units by gathering fleshy modules.
There are numerous advantages to organic matter which existing synthetic mechanisms cannot parallel: agility, flexibility, memory storage, adaptability, elasticity, and more. The stone age and space age have had their time in the sun. Now is the age of meat.
