8 Minutes of oxygen left.
Gary considers H.U.E.’s desire to see Paris if he only had 8 minutes left to live quite amusing.
Gary himself would do anything with Quinn right now, if he could.
On to the main story; another day on board the Galaxy One.
The S.A.M.E.S. are fixing the damage, while KVN sings a song about plugging holes.
A probe enters the ship.
Gary introduces Avocato in his latest message to Quinn.
And Mooncake too.
Meanwhile, on Earth….
…Quinn is warned by Tribore that an Infinity Guard ship has crashed.
While Gary is playing, Mooncake sees the probe.
Gary uses KVN to smash the probe.
But too late, Mooncake has been found.
Avocato recognizes the probe as an Ventrexian Stealth Probe, belonging to Terk.
Avocato insists they must capture Terk, but Gary is reluctant to release him.
Only after Avocato agrees to a clasp does Gary trust him.
So they board a transporter.
To ensure Gary won’t escape his sentence, H.U.E. injects him with a device that will blow up his brain in five hours.
While Mooncake stays behind, Gary and Avocato set off for Terra Con Prime.
Terra Con Prime.
Avocato and Gary don’t stay undetected for long.
People without identification papers get liquified.
Meanwhile, a mysterious intruder enters the Galaxy One.
Avocato takes Gary to see Clarence.
Gary will have to disguise himself.
Which he reluctantly does.
Elsewhere, Quinn and Tribore reach the crashed ship.
She concludes only a strong disturbance in the gravitational constant could have caused this.
H.U.E. tries to fight the intruder with anti-gravity counter measures.
To no avail; the intruder has magnetic boots.
The S.A.M.E.S. are no help either.
KVN and Mooncake hide in the vents.
Avocato and Gary find Terk.
He knocks Gary off a balcony
Avocato pulls a gun, but hesitates when Terk reveals he knows where Avocato’s son is.
After getting the information he needed, Avocato kills Terk anyway.
Gary has fallen on a converyor belt. A computer identifies him as Melanie Dewinter…
…and sends him straight to her house.
Melanie’s kids are overjoyed to see her alive.
Avocato finds his son
Little Cato tries to warn his father.
But too late. Avocato has fallen into a trap.
Gary is exposed when Melanie’s body is torn in half.
He flees the house, and stumbles upon the captured Avocato.
Quinn tries to convince the Infinity Guard of what she found, but is dismissed.
On the Galaxy One, H.U.E. tries to capture the intruder
But the intruder uses a device to hack him.
The Lord Commander is angry at Avocato for his failure.
Gary also makes his way to the Lord Commander.
And is likewise captured.
Avocato tries to run now that the Lord Commander is distracted, but his conscience stops him.
He returns to help Gary, but the Lord Commander tears off Gary’s arm.
The blood blinds the Lord Commander
Avocato cauterizes the wound
Chased by the Lord Commanders forces, the two friends attempt an escape.
They are soon cornered, with no way out except jumping for a catwalk.
Instead, they end up the Dewinter family ship.
But they fall off again.
By hugging, they manage to evade the cannons and escape the shaft.
Against orders, Quinn decides to investigate the anomaly further.
On the Galaxy One, the intruder gives KVN a chip of some sort.
The intruder is….Quinn! Or rather, an alternate Quinn named Nightfall.
She restores H.U.E. and leaves. H.U.E. finally hears Gary’s distress call.
The Galaxy One picks up Gary and Avocato.
Mooncake gets Gary a new arm.
Avocato volunteers to help with the surgery.
Surgery complete. Gary vows to help Avocato save his son.
But the Lord Commander has Little Cato transported to a different location.
