When Roger, Lyca and Sir Squeakalot arrive at Doodlebug's Supermarket to collect supplies, they discover that the place has been ransacked and Doodlebug placed in suspended animation. The culprit is the android Colonel Clump who plans to turn the Paradox crew into exhibits in his gallery of living space creatures. While Roger and Lyca return to the Paradox, Sir Squeakalot destroys Clump's mechanism box with his sword and the Colonel is disposed of down the waste disposal chute.
