In the claustrophobic corridors of a hijacked Federation vessel, Commander Zero and Ms. Luna Clone find themselves racing against time as they're sent hurtling through the ship’s waste disposal tubes—only to be rescued by the unexpected presence of Oxnox 3, who’s stowed away with weapons drawn. With the ship’s commander and crew closing in, the trio must outwit their pursuers in a tense, high-stakes game of survival.

In "Dr. Feelgood," a desperate man named Frank wakes from an overdose only to find himself in a hospital where his doctor refuses to renew his prescription—unless Frank pays for a private visit.

The story’s grim twist lies in the doctor’s horrified realization as his undead patient approaches, not with vengeance, but with a single, desperate plea.
