Inside a traveling spacecraft, a robot pilot named SAM-104 is at the controls as he approaches Mike Colby, who is encapsulated, unconscious, in a glass chamber resembling hibernation stasis. Once Mike awakens, the robot alerts him that their ship is under siege. With quick reflexes, Mike teams up with SAM-104 to fend off the attackers by firing missiles. Shortly thereafter, the robot informs him that the Federation has extended Mike’s mission, redirecting their course to the planet Xarbia for the purpose of repairing a security lab. They leap into hyperspace, arriving at the surface of Xarbia, a desolate planet illuminated by two orbiting suns.
