It is a well know fact that life cannot exist without hydrogen. Back on Cephalopodia this life sustaining element is almost gone. Space explorers, Xanthos, Kinion, and Piminy, think they might have found the abundant source that their species needs. Much to their dismay, the hydrogen will not absorb through their skin like it did back home and dangerous aliens literally swim through it. On the hostile, alien planet the three explorers try to find a way to save the inhabitants of their home world.
