Due to a "diplomatic faux pas" with the Porcelon Ambassadorial Delegates (...the Porcelons look like large-ish toilets...we shan't go into any more detail about the faux pas...), Team Lightyear is delegated to traffic duty. They spot a large freighter going almost the speed of light (...the local speed limit is about .45 light speed...), that isn't responsive to hails. The freighter slams into, and destroys, the resort moon Sand De Soleil, and continues on towards the sun of Capital Planet (...the resulting impact could, potentially, cause the sun to go supernova...). Team Lightyear board the freighter to find it abandoned, except for a maniacally tidy robo-cleaner called "Care-Bot". They attempt to plant charges to blow up the ship, but Care-Bot considers them clutter and disassembles the bombs. Meanwhile the bots have set Cruiser 42 adrift, so the team is trapped. Booster is sent down to the engine room to attempt to power down the engines while Buzz, Mira, and XR are attempting to figure out how to work the ship's controls. While down in the lower levels, Booster is frozen solid by Care-Bot. It would seem that Care-Bot determined that the crew of the ship was the root cause of all the un-tidiness, and decided to remove the cause of it's problems instead of just "treating the symptoms". When the rest of the team goes to look for Booster, the Care-Bots (...it turns out that there's an armada of them...) freeze Mira and then disassemble XR. Buzz saves the day by shooting a few Care-Bots; the resulting debris provides a distraction for the ever-tidy bots, so that Buzz is able to eject them into the vaccuum of space through the waste disposal chute. After the team unfreezes the alien captain (frozen for a millenia), he steers them clear of the sun (but still gets a speeding ticket).
