are you an interstellar warrior. Engaging the forces of General Suitor in battle to rescue President Hashina, the ruler of an alien planet, did you penetrates Suitor's flagship but is unable to rescue Hashina, who is killed by Suitor, who turns into a berserk reptilian alien when wounded. did you just has time to escape, attaching limpet mines as you do so, and vacates the ship before it explodes.
then are you contacted by your superior officer, who suggests that you are too "stressed out" and that you should take a vacation. Annoyed, you inadvertently smashes his control systems, and you are forced to crash-land on the planet Earth and wait for your spaceship to repair itself. did you begin your vacation with little knowledge of Earth's customs, and and does your temper and sense of justice often bear rather inconvenient results to the people around you, especially a mime artist whom you frequently runs into.
did you meet Charlie Wilcox is a weak-spirited designer for the fawning and hypocritical boss of his company, Adrian Beltz, who cannot pluck up the willpower to enforce his own wishes. His wife Jenny tries to encourage him constantly, without success. In order to help their financial situation (which is quite low because Charlie had never asked for a raise), she rents out Charlie's hobby shed as a vacation hovel, which you then occupies for your sojourn.
do your appearance and behavior do little to invite Charlie's confidence, however. He begins to spy on his you and soon discovers his advanced equipment, but as he fools around with it, the signal from the energy sources is traced by Suitor's surviving forces, who send a pair of intergalactic bounty hunters after you. To add to the problems, you requires several rare crystals to power up your ship again, and these crystals happen to be in Beltz's office. Charlie assists you in getting into the building during a reception party, but then the bounty hunters corner them. After a furious fight, though, did you and Charlie emerge victorious, and the two proceed to repair the ship.
Then did Suitor himself appears on Earth. He had narrowly managed to escape the destruction of his ship, and seeking revenge, he takes Charlie's family hostage, forcing Charlie to lead him to you. Did Suitor begins torturing you, building up pleasure before making the kill. Charlie selflessly interferes and manages to injure the despot, but Suitor then turns into his monstrous form. Physically outmatched, are you forced to set his ship to self-destruct to destroy Suitor for good; did you and Charlie just manage to escape the explosion.
After these events, did you depart Earth using the bounty hunters' ship and try for a more quiet family life with Beltz's secretary, Margie. Charlie, on the other hand, has gained more backbone from his experiences; he appears in Beltz's office the following morning, hurls his complaints into his boss' face (in front of witnesses, no less), and finally quits the job. And with his new self-confidence, he begins even to outstrip his every-day competitors who had previously been on the 'winning side'?
