In this thrilling episode of Alien Worlds, we journey to the Arthur C. Clarke Astronomical Observatory, STARLab, where the team is monitoring the experimental spacecraft Hyperion. As the vessel embarks on a groundbreaking test for super light travel, it unexpectedly vanishes from all tracking instruments, entering a parallel universe known only to astrophysicist Tan Liu Ping. The crew finds themselves on the water world of Sakusha, where they discover a planet out of balance due to a stolen ion generator. The Hyperion's crew, along with local allies Lady Cammy and Lord Gunsho, embark on a mission to restore balance by retrieving the stolen cylinder from the island of Kudor.

As the adventure unfolds, the crew faces treachery, engages in a battle with Kudorian siege galleys, and ultimately confronts the warlord Heiko. With clever tactics and the power of their advanced technology, they manage to retrieve the cylinder, restoring the planet's balance. Meanwhile, back at STARLab, Commissioner White and Mara Cassidy investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Hyperion, uncovering Tan Liu Ping's secret experiments with parallel universes. As the Hyperion returns to its own universe, the crew reflects on the interconnectedness of science and philosophy, and the importance of balance in all things.
