The corporation “Berish-Estranza” sends rescue ships and additional contingents of auto-guards to a newly developed dangerous planet. Their goal is to seize the planet at any cost, seeing in it potential profit, while the colonists are merely labor for them.
The crew of the “G.I.K.” and people from Preservation try to protect the colonists, but they face resistance from the corporation. Killerbot, the most sarcastic and human-like android, turns out to be a key figure in this struggle—though he has serious problems that will have to be solved urgently.
