This before unknown sequel in the Space Quest Saga begins with Roger Wilco, our beloved hero, still floating in space after defeating Vohaul in SQ2. After who knows how long drifting in space a strange force slams into Roger’s escape vessel and causes it to travel close to an unknown planet. Passing by the planet the escape pod is trapped by the planet’s gravitational pull and starts a rapid descent to the planet’s surface. The escape pod crash lands on the planet but is relatively undamaged. The crash however, triggers the release of the sleep chamber that Roger is snoozing away in. He soon wakes to find himself still inside the escape pod, and also quite blonde! After clearing his head, and exiting the chamber, Roger surveys his surroundings, finding that he has crashed on a planet that is heavily vegetated. He exits the pod and starts exploring the planet.

With new and amazing flora and fauna at every turn, Roger is without any ideas as to how to get off this planet. On the planet he quickly discovers that though most of the life here is non-intelligent, there are signs of intelligent life at least visiting the planet. He discovers a long since crashed spacecraft near a swamp. Though unable to gain access to the craft Roger at least is hopeful he can find a way to get off the planet. Roger resolves himself to find a way into the crashed ship in hopes of finding something useful.

Exploring the planet Roger comes across many new forms of life, some of which aren’t too happy to see him, but what’s new. He continues to search the planet and finds that the swamp is very large and holds many secrets and therefore decides to search its murky depths.

All unknown to Roger, the reason for his crash reveals itself out in space. A spacecraft of unknown origin moves through space and the alien inside initiates communication with his mother-ship. It seems these aliens were performing an experiment of some sort out in space. They were detonating some kind of weapon, and the resultant explosion sent a shockwave that eventually hit Roger’s craft. The alien apparently picked up Roger’s craft on his sensors while analyzing the area for the results of the explosion. Surprised to find a craft out there, he quickly lost the craft due to interference from the radiation expelled by the explosion. But before he did, he made a disturbing revelation. There was a life-sign aboard the ship. He did not have time to determine the origin of the life-form, but it was definitely alive and in stasis. The alien proceeds to dock with his mother ship and prepare his report for the captain.

Back on the planet Roger is trying hard to stay alive long enough to at least try to get off the planet. Your job, should you decide to accept it, is to help Roger get off this planet. Either that or help him build a tent or a tree-house to set up permanent residence there and hope he finds edible plant-life so he can survive.
