Meaningless Skies

Synopsis

On the way to Earth, the shuttle carrying the group encounters an American vessel headed for Mars on a survey mission. Citing suspicion of espionage, the Americans refuse to take them aboard — and, in the end, they are destroyed without resistance by the Grados forces. Afterward, the group, captured by the Soviet military, is attacked by Gale's squad. Despite valiant efforts, the Soviet ship is quickly thrown into peril.
