The Galaxy Alliance signs a temporary peace treaty with the Drule Empire, and promises to leave the planet they are on after three days. When the three days are up and no new orders come Hawkins is unable to make Cornel Cross honor the treaty without direct orders to do so as Captain Mongo sits in wait for their decision. Meanwhile, Brack and Nerok plan on punishing the Alliance themselves for breaking the treaty. Hazar sends a unit of guards to have them arrested but Brack turns some of the guards to his side and move to overthrow Hazar.
