Synopsis[]
The team goes to space to protect a threatened research station and discovers a terrible secret.
Plot[]
General Huxley of the Tri-State Space Agency Headquarters tasks Hamster and Gretel with saving their space station from a meteor shower, with Kevin being roped in to join them under the guise of being their intern. While in space, they meet Huxley's daughter Vicky, who became an astronaut against her father's wishes. However, during the heroes' attempts to destroy the meteors, they unintentionally destroy portions of the space station, leading Vicky to improvise solutions to each of their problems.
As the final meteor approaches the space station, Hamster and Gretel cannot stop it while Kevin and Vicky cannot evacuate due to Main Computer, one of the objects damaged during one of the previous impacts, using the space shuttle. Kevin then adopts Vicky's problem-solving methods by having Hamster and Gretel move the space station immediately before the meteoroid impacts. This works, only for the meteoroid to reveal that it is sentient and sent the previous meteors as a test of Hamster and Gretel's strength, speed, and stamina. It subsequently notifies the heroes that it will return, leading Gretel to suspect that the meteoroid is the greater evil the superpower-granting aliens warned them about.
