Roger Wilco, the janitor and yourself, was having a nap in the closet as usual in the mother ship. And suddenly Roger heard a big crash and screaming. After while, he went out and everyone died and there were few aliens seeking human to kill. Vohaul took the Star Generator, the artificial sun for planet Xenon, Vohaul's gonna use it for weapons, in the Space Quest I, the object of the game is destroy the Star Generator. Time passes, a lot of adventures and thrillings... finally you destroy Star Generator and be a hero of Xenon and Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter is over with glory. Now as usual, inspite of your herotical job on first one, our hero Roger is cleaning the outside of ship. And you hear the buzz calling him... now Vohaul wants to kill Roger! He is kidnapped by those aliens. But on the way the fuel ran out and our hero Roger gets chance to escape. And his another adventure begins... finally he finds Vohaul and just right before Vohaul make fake android salesmen, our hero Roger kills Vohaul with his plan... now he has done two things! Roger now wants to go back to his planet Xenon, he set automatic pilot and get into little sleep... that's end of Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge. While the little pod was going to planet Xenon, the pirates finds the pod and just put them in their garbage and tresure place just in case they might need it later... now our Roger is somewhere in universe where he doesn't even know why he is there. He picks up few things and get a new ship and escape from pirates' ship. Now he is hanging around and he just happened to see the help wanted by two guys from andromeda.
