The stealth attack ship Washington D.C. is on a mission which must be completed, regardless of the cost. Everyone is expendable. All that matters is that they succeed in their task. They must learn what Professor James Keeling of the Planetary Union is working on out here in deep space. The DC is a highly advanced "ugly" from the League of Planets. Silence and stealth are the Washington's weapons of war. Every emission, whether it be electromagnetic, heat, light, or sound can place them in immediate peril. Detection means death.
