=46rom the plot ideas submitted so far (and there have been a lot of = them,=20 most very good!), here=92s a combination that makes sense to me. It= =92s just=20 an idea, so please let me know what you think. I=92ve included a plot summery, and below, I've tried to explain bett= er using=20 narritive. Roger is transferred on =91special assignment=92 to Zantak. It turns = out that=20 Bea is the cousin of the Ambassador of Zantak's daughter. After seein= g=20 that Bea is around they decide to go back to Bea's house for a little= "fun".=20 Roger sure does have a way with women doesn't he? Bea goes into the bedrom to "slip into something more comefortable" There is a scream, and and Bea is gone. Roger is tried for the crime by Zantak security, and sent to a prison= colony,=20 where he meets up with two old programmers sent there after being fir= ed=20 =66rom their job. With Roger=92s help, these Two Guys hack the securi= ty=20 system to play astro Chicken, instead of arming the defences. The escape. Whee. It turns out that Vohaul had backed himself up into the Gippazoid= =20 computer systems. He first changed the Computer records (in SQ3) so that Gippazoid woul= d=20 annihilate Roger.
