The Outlaw Star is performing a transport job, when the advertising ship they are pushing latches onto them and takes control of their computer. The culprit turns out to be a terrorist named Crackerjack, who threatens to blow up a bomb he has placed on the ship unless Heifong is given independence. While Gene looks for a way to disarm the bomb on the ship, Aisha and Suzuka work on tracking down Crackerjack to save the others on Heifong.(The typeface for this episode's title card, Xoireqe, was used as the font for the lettering on The Final Countdown album, released by Swedish hard rock band Europe in 1986)
