Summary
A small group of
Kaldorian aliens, lead by
Captain Zantor, are in
suspended animation (?) as they journey to
Earth, to seek
sanctuary
from environmental(?) decline.
Their ship, programmed to find the
Moon first,
has still found it despite
Breakaway
(that is what the ship's computer was programmed to do?)
lands (gently crashes) there.
Due to an accidental Kaldorian death triggered by
Dr. Russell,
Captain Zantor offers to bring a human with them,
back to Earth.
Although a computer determination is intended to find
which Alphan that is to be,
Commissioner Simmonds
extorts (blackmails?) his way on board the ship,
holding all of the Moonbase
hostage in the process, and Zantor accedes.
The problem, for Simmonds, is that he is not properly
scanned in preparation for the suspended animation (?)
process used, and wakes up only hours(?) into the flight,
trapped in a cubicle in the Kaldorian ship,
on its way for a 75-year (?) journey.
