Storyline:

During a routine deep-space mission in the year 2025, the space vessel Redeemer hits a spatial anomaly and crash-lands on a nearby planet.  Captain Hank Eldridge awakens on the planet, surrounded by the debris of half of his ship.  Thinking he's the lone survivor, he tries to come to terms with the fact that he's stranded on a distant planet.  However, he soon comes across a huge pile of metallic refuse, including a robotic head, which he plugs in to the circuitry of the remains of his ship.  Blinking to life, the robot informs Eldridge that the year is 2145 and that this planet is Earth's dumping ground for environmentally unfriendly materials.  Eldridge comes to realize that the anomaly threw the ship over a hundred years into the future and that no one will be looking for him.  Losing his grip, he begins finding more and more robotic parts and putting together a virtual city of robotic servants and slaves.
