Previous Incident: The Start

Next Incident: Psycho

After Doctor Van Threk has Seymore clean the MediBay floor, an alarm of an alien invasion of the ship sounds accidentally. In the commotion, Faith Garrison is killed.

The away is assembled and includes Captain Cannon, Commander Niples, Doctor Van Threk, Scientist Mahok Yolandon, Major Harris and two of his security officers - Ensign Ned Meat and Ensign Robert Donover. While the security detail check the Starbug, they discover a bomb planted by the Clarkson Brethren. Unable to defuse it, it detonates. Rather than an explosion, however, it begins to spout eccentric drivel. It is disposed of.

As the Starbug approaches the desert planet, it is shot down by a missile. The crew are scattered far and wide. Harris and his security team encounter a snake like creature that tries to eat them. Mahok is lost and alone. The others are together not far from the crash site.

Seymore, Cannon, and the others find a compound nearby containing wrecks of human space craft. They are attacked by a TK 440. Harris surprises it from behind, but his weapons do nothing. A shuttle from the Blue Dwarf, with Mahok in the co-pilot seat, arrives just in time to drop a bomb on the TK 440 and destroy it. The Dwarfers return to their ship, safely knowing that there isn't anything worth mining.
