I'm an asteroid miner. There's good pay in collecting those powerful, volatile desideratium crystals. Problem is, I got a bit overzealous with my mining laser, nicked a big ol' crystal, and the blast took out most of my systems. Mining laser, long-range scanners, hyperdrive, cargo scoop, air conditioning... Anyway, all I've got left are the thrusters and shield generator. I found an old run-down hypergate that might be able to get me back home, but it's low on power. And it seems someone else has found it too, and wants the rare alloys it's built from...

Instructions:
Break apart asteroids by pushing them into each other with your ship's exhaust, push the green crystals into the gate to restore its energy, defeat the UFO by hitting it with crystals or its own missiles.
