Do androids really dream of electric sheep?

 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.

Energy free? Hey that's for me!

After finding a ghost ship (literally) the crew finds some type of ancient artifact. It looks quite similar to an Ankh. A worm hole appears and the crew of the Brick decide to check it out. They come to a distant star system that is not recognized by any of the star maps. They eventually make there way down to a habitable planet and the artifact guides them to a small concrete like structure. Inside there are massive amounts of hieroglyphs. At the end of it all is a place for the Ankh to be inserted. They speak with an intelligence of great wonder. It explains that energy is everything and after some time agrees to give "humanity" another chance at wielding this pure perfect power.  They are also given a new type of weapon (black energy). The details are vague, but the entity hints that "humanity" fails the test every time it given a chance to weild this infinite power source. The crew of the Brick leaves this strange system with more questions then when they cam. A worm hole appears again and takes them back to the familiar system where they originally found the ghost ship.
