Description
Alpha Flight, in the Boxship, land on a strange planet, where the bickering amongst the team begins, Manikin wants his missing girlfriend, the Purple Girl to be found and Vindicator does not hide her contempt of Goblyn. On Liveworld, Laura Dean explains to the Purple Girl how whenever there is danger on either Deadworld (Earth) or Liveworld, then Goblyn switches places with her, and as the Purple Girl feels she is being watched, Laura reveals that there are plenty of scary things on Liveworld and they are teleported away as Goblyn takes their place - and a mysterious woman comes up to Goblyn. Calling her, her pet she asks Goblyn where she disappears to and if she can take her there someday. The Purple Girl and Laura Dean are reunited with Alpha Flight, who are resting as the Boxship refuels from minerals on the planet. Alpha contemplate going home to Canada and Heather offers many reasons as to why Ottawa has reason to fear them, after all, they do seem to create lots of potential Earth-threatening situations. They find they cannot leave the planet, as some crystal form has covered the ship. Alpha go to destroy the crystal, unaware that it is alive. When the Purple Girl is in danger, Goblyn appears to rescue her, and the mute mutant also solves the problem of the crystal, By purring up against it, she matches the crystals vibration and they withdraw. Heather realizes that Goblyn is not mindless after all, and after taking off into space promises to try and understand her more, as Kara suggests everyone try and understand forms of life that are different to their own. However, with the danger over, everyone wonders why Goblyn is still with them, and why Laura has not returned. Back on Liveworld, the mysterious woman who was previously talking to Goblyn vows that she will not let anyone leave Liveworld unless she can too, meaning Laura Dean is trapped.
