The space station Aurelius has a big problem. A silly computer virus has infected all the cleaning robots, turning them into mischievous "Scrap-Goblins"! The crew ran away and locked themselves inside the VIP Pizza Cafeteria to stay safe. As a brave Space Ranger, it is your job to board the station, navigate the floating comic books and sticky slime tunnels, and find the Reactor Core to reboot the main computer.
