Story

In the year 2990 A.D., the world's population had grown to over 90 billion people. Over the years, destructive air pollution and long-term burning of pertrolium had turned the land into a vast desert. People began the desperate space emigration. Permanent fortresses and cities are built in the gigantic galaxy. New light shines on the struggle with space, "New Land", and the reconstruction of their battered society is nearing completion. But... SOS! SOS!... An urgent signal is located. It appears to be a computer virus in the main computer of the third colony. Through some strange science or alien influence, the computer has taken control and is removing the human inhabitants. The mobile machines, programmed to destroy the human life form, have invaded the remaining colonies. The battle-hardened space veterans are defeated one by one and turned into soldiers of the computer. An unconscious and unheard cry to space.... "SOS! SOS!..." The last operation: LAST RESORT. Urgent! Red Alert!
