First Line: Commander Harwood stared in horror at the set of three lights...
Synopsis: A crew makes an emergency landing on a planet after their engine reactor is damaged. They need to stay there while the reactor recharges. Months pass and they run out of rations. The food on the planet is poisonous and inedible. When the crew contemplate cannibalism, the captain tells them they can eat the food because he treated it. They do and die. The reason the captain lied was because he'd rather have he and his men die then resort to cannibalism. Just as he eats the poison food, the reactor of the ship has finally been recharged.
