The crew is summoned back to command to view and try out something Slack has wanted for a long time, a robotic killing machine with all the bells and guns available.

Slack Johnson, back in the saddle! This week the Captain and his first officer get stranded on an alien planet, but however will they survive?

Slack comes face-to-face with his arch nemesis from Space Patrol Academy, Damien Vex. Vex was the one who did everything right, while Slack received the glory.

The boys toss some junk into this week's time capsule so we have something to talk about in 20 or 50 years.

It's a mad, mad, mad world, and we're just living in it. Thanks for being a part of it!
When the Space Patrol Council suggests its operatives become more friendly, Slack jumps whole heartedly into that directive, leading with honesty and humility even if it means getting his head bashed in. This episode brings exciting aliens, gladiatorial fighting and even a Glornac pit where one can be digested for an eternity of pain, and little to do. Come join Slack and crew on another exciting escapade.
