It All Started With Crystals…
It was your first day working as the new assistant at OOS – the Orbital Operational Services. A small company operated by a single eccentric old tinkerer, OOS is headquartered on a small comet that can be piloted with its built-in thrusters. The old man traveled the cosmos salvaging and rebuilding space junk (and some say avoiding his wife) – until now. Your first task was to help your new boss document the mysterious crystals which recently rained down on the OOS factory and started bringing the junk to life, but he was abducted by a spaceship right before your eyes! As swarms of aliens known only as Tham invade your comet, you have no choice but to assemble robots out of your spare parts, repel the onslaught, and rescue your new mentor!
OOS
You’ve just joined OOS and don’t know much about your new boss. Fortunately, he had a spare transmitter hidden inside his beard, which he’s been using to send you blueprints for robot parts that you can fashion out of all the salvaged junk on the comet. It’s a good thing reading instruction manuals is your most prized skill – it’s how you got the job after all! With the mysterious life-giving power of the crystals and your boss’s schematics, you can manufacture an army of junk-based fighting robots!
Tham
According to the pocket edition of the Space Farmer’s Almanac, which your boss also keeps in his beard at all times, the goo-like aliens are known to locals as Tham and seem to have a special affinity with the crystals that rained down on OOS headquarters . They hunt down and collect the crystals with an insatiable zeal and won’t let anyone or anything get in their way!
