Description
Space explorers land on a planet and begin to be menaced by a fierce creature that they take to be leader of the pack. They figure by slaying the leader the following beasts will disperse, but when they zap the leader the following beasts become even more aggressive and they blast off from the planet with only moments to spare. When they zoom in a camera to take a picture of the fallen creature that they now realize was actually keeping the native population somewhat pacified, they are surprised to see that what they destroyed was actually a robot and become apprehensive when considering what will happen to them once the intelligence that placed the robot discovers their meddling.
