The
mall robots were service-oriented drones programmed to prepare and
serve food, do maintenance work, sell cosmetics, and clean the floor,
in addition to a number of security drones. The team faced a variety
of robots in combat, but some of my favorite moments include the
Chiraktis character being blinded by a pheromone spray used by the
cosmetic robot—she stumbled around randomly while hoping to avoid
the violent robot that was seeking to introduce her to other chemical
products. At one point, the Reln sniper failed to notice a
maintenance drone behind him, and he was sprayed with a large spurt
of oil. The Reln struggled to escape, but the oil was so slick he
could not get back on his feet. When he saw that the robot was about
to ignite the oil with its propane torch, the Reln pulled a blanket
out of his backpack, dropped it in front of him, and kicked off a
nearby wall to slide across the floor, just as the flame caught the
oil. The flame continued after him on the oil track left by the
blanket, but the Reln thankfully made a leap, just in time, into a
nearby fountain! Meanwhile, the Reln-diplomat was busy with a rogue
cleaning-bot, and when the aggressive robot aimed its vacuum gun as
it prepared to fire trash at high velocity, the quick-thinking Reln
shoved his shock-baton into the opening. The vacuum exploded,
destroying the robot, but unfortunately, the Reln's shock-baton was
demolished as well. At least he was still alive!
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
