The Brick comes out of the worm hole into a familiar star system. They head to a planet with the least government/ security presence for repairs and modifications. They have the new weapons systems installed on the Brick as well as access hatches installed for the new found fighters they acquired. At the shipyard they meet a peculiar individual. He is an android who goes by the name of "Higgins 307DB". They get along great and invite him to join the crew of the Gold Brick.
After the modifications have been completed, they head back out into space only to find themselves headed for another worm hole. When they get through it, they find a habitable planet and head down to check it out. They find a group of humans being held captive by those strange bug like creatures (Klick). As they approach, Boomer sends off a warning shot towards the "Klick" and they then turn and immediately shoot down all of the humans. At this point, the hero's send down a fighter and blast the klick to dust.
When they investigate the scene, they find that buried underneath the sand is a massive pyramid. They use the slinky apparatus from the ship as a way to burrow down into the sand to find an entrance.
