An expedition to the planet Kafka by Deep Space Ranger Cadets turns deadly when their minds are taken over by a mad computer known as ALIEC. Only four of the cadets manage to escape, using homemade rocket cycles. They vow to return, but their only chance to carry out their mission lies in the abilities of a young Starbabe named Starflake. She is tiny enough to maneuver the twisting tunnels leading to ALIEC and has the ability to withstand the deadly gases around him.

But will Starflake be able to stay focused enough to help the cadets with their mission, or will the distractions of the universe prove to be too much for the young Starbabe to handle?

This is the third volume of the adventures of Starflake the Starbabe, the girl who can live in space without any need of a space suit.
