A boy (Gene) has dreams. Before he knows it, he becomes a man. Does he follow that dream?
[edit] Plot
The girl in the container is Melfina, who wakes up from supsended animation. Escaping from the Guild pirates in a dropship, Gene, Jim, Hilda and Melfina go into space. They then take Hilda's spaceship Horus to Blue Heaven, an outlaw hangout. A Corbonite named Swanzo is enlisted to repair and resupply Horus. Swanzo explains to Jim that there are three powers in space: outlaws, pirates, and Space Forces. Jim then takes Melfina shopping while Gene and Hilda go to a bar get in an altercation with McCoy and his lackeys. As a result, they are attacked that night in their (shared) bedroom. It ends as Gene and Hilda face down McCoy in a battle suit. Gene's past is also partly explained; he hates space because he and his father had an accident on a spaceship when he was young.
