Alpha, a multinational scientific research facility. One of its duties is to

Earth is disposed of. The Alphans
are trying to launch a fast-tracked manned probe to an 'approaching' planet
named Meta. The Meta Probe is in
jeopardy since two of the mission crew have come down with a mysterious illness.
The Alphans tie the illness to
the nuclear waste about the time the smaller site unexpectedly explodes. While
the Alphans try to avert a similar
