Rocky and Winkie take Fornax leader Zorovac to visit Earth. Once there and visiting with Secretary Drake, he sees that Cardos was misleading him about Earth's actions. While they are away, Cardos conspires to send more warhead-equipped missiles to Earth. Griff, whose ship had earlier been disabled by Rocky, manages to radio Cados and have him help his ship land on Ophecius. Cleolantha learns about his mission and talks Darganto into flying to Fornax and exploiting their high-energy crystals for her own use. Bobby catches wind of all these plans, but is nabbed before he can warn Rocky. He is locked up in a cell. But Bobby's playmate, Zorovac's daughter Volaca, climbs to window where she can talk to him. He has her get a radio and let Rocky know the score. Word arrives to the Secretary that another missile is on the way. He has the Orbit Jet intercept it. Then the Orbit Jet heads back to Fornaz where it manages to hit the Ophecian ship with missiles and blow it up before it can take off with Darganto, Cardos and Griff. All three would-be vandals are apprehended and sent for judgments. A firm link of friendship has been established between Fornax and Earth.
