Combatman

A lone Computerman awakens from a deep‑freeze to find his ship’s crew—three Homonorm colonists—still encased in ice, while the ship’s AI, Brain One, struggles to pinpoint their location. The data streams reveal they’re approaching a promising, oxygen‑rich world, perfect for a new settlement, but the frozen passengers and the malfunctioning systems keep the mission in limbo.

Enter the Combatman, a towering, blue‑skinned warrior who bursts onto the scene demanding whiskey before any formalities. His sudden, imposing presence forces the Computerman to balance protocol with survival, as the two clash over control of the vessel and the imminent landing. Their uneasy partnership hints at deeper tensions between human colonizers and the mysterious, weapon‑laden beings that drift in from the north.

As the planet draws nearer, the crew must grapple with limited information, an unpredictable AI, and the uneasy alliance between a methodical technician and a fierce, enigmatic fighter—setting the stage for a tense first contact on an alien shore.
