Abandoned planets still have their uses, and Cosmo Clean Co. takes them back. When the planet cores awaiting pickup are stolen, regular contractors stay home and the Special Cleaning Division drops in. Pulling a core kills the planet. Everyone knows. The job gets done anyway.

Hostile fire is contamination. Your suit's intake module pulls in barrages, sample fragments, and the cores themselves, so not every shot needs to be dodged.

Company-issued Time Dilation slows the whole field. Read the gaps in the barrage, find the glowing weak points, and hit them in slow motion.

Absorbed cores feed power into your suit. Firmware and training courses change how you fight. If you go down, the company recovers your gear and sends in the next operative.

• SC-01 PURGE: grenades and mines

• SC-02 SEAL: thrown shields and barriers

• SC-03 SWEEP: homing fire, drones, and a ground unit

• SC-04 SPOT: piercing shots, orbital strikes, and gravity anchors

• SC-05 SIPHON: absorbs barrages and fires them back

Six zones, each with its own terrain, mutated wildlife, and alert level.

One operative quit without notice. Company records list him as Terminated. He hijacks the equipment left on site and puts stolen cores back into their planets. Your job is to pull them out again.
