STORY:
- A Hildroid is a living organism developed by humans. As submissive as robots, they are used to carry out dangerous tasks instead of humans. Several years later, a nuclear war breaks out for unkown causes. As a result of this war, several shifts in the earth's axis occur and the Hildroids, affected by the radiation, undergo major alterations. They begin to be able to think and move their own will and soon they start to kill their human hosts. It's now several decades later and everthing is as normal at the spcae station for artificial hibernation testing. On board is Captain Waffle who has just woken from his frozen sleep. Meanwhile back on earth, with the alterations in the earth's axis, animals and people appear from the past and become hosts to the Hildroid robots. The Hildroids begin to interfere with the histories of their hosts. Captain Waffle, judging that the next shift in the earth's axis will cause major alterations in history, descends to earth in a one-man escape ship.
