Description
Alpha Flight find themselves aboard a giant Box robot turned into a space ship, traveling somewhere in space. Goblyn begins to cause problems and attacks the Boxship, causing Jeffries pain, as he is linked to it. Vindicator and Sasquatch begin to track Goblyn, while Manikin works on a way of alleviating Jeffries’ pain. Goblyn unleashes some creatures loose on the ship, which attack her, then Vindicator and Sasquatch. Manikin is transported to the brain of the Boxship and discovers that it has a tumor. Goblyn arrives and he communicates with her well, telling her to attack the tumor. She does so, but begins to destroy healthy brain mass as well as unleashing cancer cells, which attack Manikin. Vindicator soon comes to the rescue, incarcerating Goblyn in a plasma cage, while she defeats all the cancer cells, then destroys the tumor. However, the cancer has spread inside the brain, so she takes Whit down inside the brain to direct her in the “surgery”. Everything goes fine until they come to the last piece, the one linked to Jeffries’ personality. Heather is worried about turning the man she loves into a vegetable, but Jeffries calls to her, telling her he is in so much pain, and that if she doesn’t try, then he is as good as dead anyway. Heather succeeds in removing the last of the cancer, and is reunited with Jeffries aboard the bridge of the Boxship, where they plan to head back to Earth. Meanwhile, the Purple Girl is shown around Liveworld by Laura Dean, who is being watched by a mysterious woman.
