The USC Lock Break was found adrift in a decaying orbit around Sirius. No response can be raised. You have volunteered to go aboard and look for survivors. There has been persistent radio interference in the area, but it's probably nothing.

Controls (on QWERTY layout):

• Move: [ Arrow Keys ]
• Interact/Continue: [ Z ]
• Toggle Inventory: [ X ]

Controller is also supported, but keyboard is recommended due to terminal input.
