- Synopsis
- The crew of Patrol Ship XBY has just docked and is going berserk, smashing everything inside. The guards find a diary on one of crew, which reveals they were brainwashed by an alien ruler, however the diary was false as it was written by an alien who hopes to steal top secret plans and make good his escape. He is revealed and captured by a vigilant guard, who noticed he was immune to female charms (especially after a long tour of space-patrol duty).
