The first trip is to a pirate ship on the oil haven planet [[Boukon]], and they must get the directions to the next destination from the pirate Kaliko. She attempts to escape with the chip, but is mysteriously murdered. They get it and then go to [[Myarr]], a war zone between the [[Mantasphid|Mantasphids]] and the native humans.  They sort out some political problems, but the chip carrier [[Meregrass]] is murdered mysteriously like Kaliko. They then go to [[Volag-Noc]], the ice cold prison planet.  The Doctor is captured and sentenced to 2 billion years in prison. He discovers that the real governor is imprisoned and the fake governor, Gurney, had taken over the prison. The Doctor and the true governor escape, with Gurney escaping with the chip outside. As Gurney threatens Martha with a gun, Baltazar appears. Gurney shoots Caw, eventually killing Caw. Baltazar murders Gurney and takes his data chip. He reveals that he killed Kaliko and Meregrass to gain the chips. He seizes the Doctor and Martha and forces them to take him to the Infinite's location.
