The crew find a derelict ship, some crystals and an alien egg. The egg hatches with a quick-evolving alien.

The ship is damaged and the crew goes to a planet to get more flux to repair it before it is too late.

An anomaly makes the ship crash into a junkyard, and the crew is captured by a robot called Matrix.

The Simians befriend a slick-talking traveler named Largo, who captures the crew for Rhesus 2.

Damaged in battle, the Simian ship lands on the planet Maltese.
