The 999 enters a warp at high speed to recover lost time, but the internal flow of time becomes distorted. This leads to a minor accident with a version of the 999 from a different era. On board this other ship is Maetel, the Conductor, alongside a young boy named Redril who resembles Tetsuro. Redril wields the same warrior's gun as Tetsuro. Following this encounter, the crew proceeds toward a drifting planet where a new danger awaits them. The narrative focuses on this temporal anomaly and the mysterious connection between the two vessels as they navigate the unstable warp conditions.
