Kort Explores conundrums of the human condition

Preface

Our story begins in a seedy spacer-bar. An unlikely pair brought together by their common fate, our unsus-pecting adventurers are commiserating over being stranded when their ship was condemned to the wrecking yard. The pair hatch a plan to get back into space by cobbling together their own ship out of recycled parts. Unknown to our intrepid businessmen, they're about to become a valuable strategic material in a long stalemated resource-starved war between two crazed computers. Having long ago eliminated the last of the "biologicals" who created them, the machines had also long ago recycled their "no longer needed" defenses against "biologicals". As the only "biologicals" in the war, our unwilling heroes are press-ganged into a risky mission that could finally end the war. But even if they could pull it off, would they really want to?
