Phoning Home

You play ION, a young exploration unit that is on a mission to secure mineral resources. When you crash-land on an alien planet, your ship is almost completely destroyed. You'll not only have to survive in a strange new world full of dangers, but also find a way to contact your home planet to get help. With only your ship's artificial intelligence for company, you set out to explore your new home. On your journey, you meet ANI, a small, stranded service unit that identifies as female. ANI is the first to admit that she's a bit crazy, but she's also a valuable resource, and it soon becomes clear that without her there will be no escape. And so the two of you begin a journey neither of you is prepared for, on a planet where not even the laws of nature seem to apply. A journey on which ION and ANI will have to face the strangest of all possible challenges, if they are to have any hope of telling their own story.
