Die beiden Weltraum-Schürfer Bera Sansa und Edian Tarkin stehen kurz davor, ihr Geschäft aufzugeben: Zu wenig einträglich ist die Suche nach Rohstoffen am Rande der bekannten Galaxis. Da entdecken sie ein herrenloses Schiff. An Bord wecken sie vier gelartige, formlose Wesen aus dem Kryo-Schlaf. Diese verwandeln sich - in perfekte Kopien von Bera und Edian!
