The shelves in the Office of Space Affairs labs collapse, breaking and spilling the contents of chemical containers. Global plans are made for C-Day, a time when each person will aim a small mirror toward Circo along with the reflections from giant space mirrors that have been built. The hope is that the returned beam will disable its source. At the same time, Rocky and Biff, who have flown the Silver Moon to Herculon, will drop magnetic elements onto Circo to bind the moon together. Agar, on Herculon and disguised as a Venusian scientist, conspires with Shima to take Queen Juliandra hostage and use her as bait to get to Rocky. He figures on disposing of Rocky with a space "accident" so no blame will be placed on him. Agar wants to retake control of Medina while Shima will replace Juliandra as queen on Herculon. Shima has recruited the aid of the muscular Naboro to help overcome Rocky. Aboard the XV-7 rocket that Agar stole, Juliandra is forced to fake a distress call to the Silver Moon, begging to be rescued. When the Silver Moon pulls alongside and couples to the XV-7, Naboro takes on Rocky while Agar fights Biff. Agar smashes the Silver Moon's steering controls before he, Naboro and Shima escape back in their rocket. Juliandra is left behind with Rocky. Because the Silver Moon is already on the right heading to make the drop of magnetic elements, Rocky completes his part of the Circo mission. But the Silver Moon is directly in path of the reflected beam coming from Earth. Rocky quickly improvises a steering jet from a missile held in a perpendicular direction out the door. He is thus able to maneuver the Silver Moon out of harm's way. Not so with the XV-7. Unaware of the impending danger, its crew is still vulnerable to the returning beam. As Rocky, Biff and Juliandra watch, the XV-7 explodes with all aboard. Written by Garon Smith See less
