Earth Security Agents Rice and McIntyre must return a dangerous alien safely to Port, but while Rice would rather take a safe and careful approach, McIntyre is determined to use lethal force if necessary. Despite being divided, they grab their big alien guns and confront the alien in climactic fashion, all as journalist Julia Campbell presses ESA head Tom Rutgers about the frightening future of the Port of Earth.
