Lincoln invents a matter transporter called a Beambox to send keepsakes to their parents on Old Earth. Touched, Mark and Greta Clark send a few things back, but Bob Santino sneaks in a very nasty surprise of his own. Bob's 'gift' hatches into a terrifying monster as soon as it arrives on the Valiant. Fortunately, Gemma is very good at dealing with terrifying monsters. Equally terrifying are the twin versions of themselves that Zeke and Alice find aboard the Dogstar.
