Scientist have concluded the origin of these life-forms to be from space but are unable to pin-point exactly where. These life-forms have a very short life-span, but reproduce at a geometric rate. The population finds them more annoying than the common cockroach and have named them SPACE- PESTS. Because these pests have a very high resistance against ordinary pesticides, scientist have bio-engineered Pako(YOU). An ANTI-SPACE-PEST constructed from DNA from the SPACE-PESTS themselfs. The fallowing are 100 tests designed to measure Pako's intelligence and dependability to do the job of eliminating as many SPACE-PESTS on Earth as possible. Pako's specific design is not to find and kill the SPACE-PESTS, but to seek and destroy their eggs. In order for Pako to become the newest member in planet Earth's food chain, he must eat all the eggs within the 100 tests. There are bonuses as well as traps added to each of the tests. Also a limited number of SPACE-PESTS are going to be released to measure his ability to cope with with them. If Pako succeds, he will be cloned and given to the public. If he does not then he will be terminated.
