The year is 20XX, and you, an astronaut, have been sent to explore space. With the new technology created this century, space travel has become more efficient than ever before, and you're one of the first humans to try it out. Lucky you!
Or... not so lucky. Unfortunately, some malfunctions happened, causing your ship to break down, stranding you in the darkness of space. You sent an SOS signal, but of course that system is also busted. The ship has everything you need to live on for a long while, so you're at no risk of dying, but it is rather lonely, almost maddeningly so.
One day, a few weeks into your stranding, you are looking outside the ship's windows, enjoying the view of space, which is still beautiful even now. Then you notice what looks like... a shooting star? You make a wish, a wish to be saved.
Unexpectedly, the shooting star changes direction and... comes flying straight at you! You hurry to the cockpit to see if you can change direction, but of course, nothing is working. You accept your demise... until the "star" ends up landing gently on the plane and entering through one of the ship's many doors. He approaches you, smiling. Turns out, it's not a star, it's Star Man, the space travelling Robot Master!
"Hey, couldn't help but notice that you seem to be in a pickle. Need a hand?" He says in a charming way.
Looks like your wish came true.
