Legend tells how long ago bio mechanical being from space attacked earth. Men called them Flutter Drones. It recounts how they hunted man to feed upon his flesh. The struggle was long and hard. Finally they were driven back into space. The Earth was left cityless. Each destroyed by air mines launched by the larger Master Drone leader.
Earths survivors built one massive city and installed a defence system against the drones. A network of towers each with a scanner designed to seek and destroy drone packs with a minimum risk to human life.
Citizens with the highest IQ were chosen to stand vigil in these lofty spires… But the drones never returned.
Now centuries have passed and mans memory has faded. Of all the scanners only one remains to stand as an aged and decaying monument to this legend… Yet never was its need greater for the drones have come again.
Even now the Master Drone is tasting human flesh. You alone have entered the scanner tower and discovered a glimmer of energy left in its old circuits.
Now you must learn all of its secrets to master its incredible power. You alone sit at Scanner13.
The city must be defended. Its people must be saved from the Master Drone and its 3 Flutter Drone aids. Do you have the intelligence to interpret its X ray data… And the speed to intercept the deadly air mines.
Do you have the steel nerve to stand quiet when the Master Drone sends forth its probes to locate the source of radiation it senses from your scanner beam. The scanners were created in mans image… They too can reason.
Are you equal to its data messages… Can you avoid killing innocent citizens yet defeat the drones… Your chance has come to try.
