But the two heroes are called by the Chief Executive Officer and founder of Megacorp (a huge company) and are hired to complete a mission; indeed an experimental creature has been stolen from Megacorp and you have to retrieve it. Throughout the game Megacorp CEO will give you new missions.

To complete their mission the heroes are trained (including Martial Arts, Heavy Weaponry, Survival Skills, Stealth, Macrame, Ballroom Dance and Origami). You will discover that the experiments of Megacorp are eventually threatening the overall galaxy and it is your mission to save it.
