Pasc and Etrec were placed in suspended animation hundreds of years ago because Pasc had contracted the "Killing Sickness." It is only a matter of time before Etrec falls victim to the same malady.	Maya and Koenig are forced to fight three aliens on a planet where plants are the dominant species.
Deep beneath the surface of Moonbase Alpha, Alan Carter and Andy Johnson dis- cover the bodies of a man and a boy in a state of suspended animation. The Alphans release Pasc and his son Etrec. They say that they are from Archanon, the planet of peace, and were placed in the chamber when other members of their expedition contracted the "Killing Sickness." How- ever, it was not the ohter Archanons who had the disease, but Pasc and Etrec them- selves. Pasc forces Helena into an Eagle at gunpoint as an Archanon spacecraft, following a signal sent the moment the two were released, arrives overhead. Etrec does not yet have the sickness and desires to stay with his new friend, Alan Carter. But Pasc threatens to kill Helena unless Etrec leaves Alpha with him. Pasc: JOHN STANDING Etrec: MICHAEL GALLAGHER	Maya and Koenig investigate a planet cov- ered with vegetation but bearing no signs of animal life. Eagle 1 develops an oxygen leak and Tony is forced to return to Alpha leaving the two behind. Maya innocently picks some flowers and is shocked when a thunderous voice cries out pronouncing them killers and cannibals. The rulers of the planet Luton sentence them to mortal combat with three other aliens who have also simply picked flowers. The winning side will be set free but only when the opposing side is completely killed; it is a fight to the death. As Tony returns to pick up the pair, the planet suddenly vanished without a trace; there is no way to find them. Meanwhile, Koenig is wound- ed by "Alien Transport" when it material- izes behind him. But Maya, using her pow- ers of transmutation, saves Koenig. The odds change for the worse again when the last remaining alien captures Maya. Koenig must kill him or she will be crushed in a tiny cage when she can no longer hold her bird form. Alien Strong: DAVID JACKSON Alien Invisible: GODFREY JAMES Alien Transport: ROY MARSDEN
