About Descent II

Having completely eliminating all free thinking robots by destroying all PTMC (Post Terra Mining Company) mines as specified in his contract, our protagonist returns to base for his bounty. On arrival he is briefed by the PTMC representative (revealed to the audience to be named Dravis) on his next missing over his objections that he has fulfilled his contract. Dravis threatens him with law suit (which our protagonist is unconcerned about) and notifies him he will not be paid yet thanks to a 72 hour retainer clause in his contract. A warp drive is install on the ship during their argument. Dravis describes the mission as reconnaissance in the Zeta Aquilae system but our protagonist and the audience can see on the cockpit readout that the ship is being upgraded with news weapons (also from exterior views). We also get to see details the warp core prototype displayed in the cockpit. He sets out to eliminate the supposed source of the AI that immigrated to PTMC mines (which Dravis now refers to as an alien infestation) with only an inkling of PTMC's regard for him as no different than their robot slaves.
