  Last year, a secret billion dollar project undertaken by NASA was vetoed half way through completion, ending up with seven highly intelligent robots with no spaceship to fly to the stars.

  The mission into deep space was highly dangerous, and NASA wanted to research the ability of sophisticated robotic life-forms that could have a chance of survival and return home, without sacrificing human beings. A whole range of scientists, engineers, medicos, psychologists, philosophers, computer programmers and many others spent a multi-billion dollar budget towards a goal which produced an amazing set of super robots. These were the new breed of Bio-Teks, with superior human characteristics combined with advanced technology.

  The group consisted of four males, one female and one animal -a dog super robot. Somewhere along the design path, someone suggested a creature that would wriggle through narrow spaces and if necessary, repair faults or retrieve small objects inside the spaceship, that the larger creatures couldn’t manage, and Izaak the snake was created as well.
