Cargo ships with contributions from several planets have gone missing. The latest is Earth's ship CM7 carrying Ranger Reggie and Vena Ray. Vena hopes to visit her brother who is working on Casa 7. On their approach to the planet, the pair suddenly find their instruments and rocket propulsion systems neutralized. Shortly thereafter, they are boarded by a rogue ship that confiscates their cargo. The pirate leader is the nefarious Rinkman who uses neutralizing technology developed by Dr. Vanko. After stowing the stolen cargo, the pirates leave CM7 adrift in a permanent orbit around Casa 7. With no means of communication, Vena and Reggie settle in to planning how to stay alive until they are found. Secretary Drake is alarmed when CM7 goes missing and sends Rickie and Winkie out to check on it. Bobby talks Rocky into including him. The Orbit Jet finds an abandoned Martian ship that shoots at them. Then they spot the CM7. Reggie and Vena can't contact them by radio, so they jettison a missile to attract attention. Rocky correctly interprets the sign. He brings the Orbit Jet alongside CM7 and rescues Vena and Reggie. Written by Garon Smith See less
