Monkey, Pucky, the Laosoor Vazquarion and Precheurer Munroe Cardan (a Positronic specialist) travel with the USO flagship YART FULGEN for the home of the Paramags consisting of countless asteroids. According to the information of a double agent of the New USO there are several Tefroder spaceships traveling there, including the LAHMU. Monkey wants to know why the New Tamanium is interested in the Paramags. In addition, the pain teleporter Lan Meotato is to be present. Monkey would consider it a pleasant side effect of the mission if Pucky killed the man and acquired his para-skills. The mousebeaver is not enthusiastic about this idea and more or less takes the lead during the mission because it becomes clear that the Oxtorner would behave like the bull in the china shop with the Paramags.

Gucky and his companions can look undisturbed in the honeycomb - that's what the Paramags call the asteroids full of PEW metal in which they live - after their initial difficulties with the Paramags, which are always very suspicious of strangers, have been overcome. Cardan penetrates the computer networks to collect information. He learns that the Tefroders are active in WABE 1312. This debris world is primarily home to Paramags, who collided with other species during their travels through the PEW metal and thus lost their identity or suffered mental disorders. One of these unfortunate Paramags is Plothalo, which has lost the ability of paratransformation and suffers from a special form of schizophrenia. Pucky tries to win his trust. He realizes that the Tefroders are in the process of dealing drugs to the caregivers of the sick Paramags.

However, there is soon a collision with a superior Tefrodic force. Agents Bunccer-Buhaam and Ghenis Tay are also active here. Cardan is wounded and poisoned with Limalium. As he escapes, Monkey manages to capture a Tefroder agent, in whose mind Pucky reads that Lan Meota is in the wreckage system to go after a statue of the Master of the Island Zeno Kortin. An exchange is agreed upon - the trapped agent for the cure for Cardan. Lan Meota accepts the deal, and Cardan can be cured. The Paramags suddenly attack everyone at the meet. The fighting has not escaped them and they do not agree with strangers spreading in their area of ​​life. In the confusion, Gucky and his companions can escape. Gucky and Vazquarion form a parablock with Plothalo, who thus temporarily regains his abilities and brings the two mutants into a hidden cavern. There is the statue of the former Factor IV.

But Lan Meota and his agents also arrive there. Pucky and his companions are again in the minority and cannot prevent the Tefroders from taking the statue away. Lan Meota explains that each statue houses part of Zeno Kortin's ÜBSEF constant, and that five intact statues are required to reanimate the Master of the Island. Lan Meota has already discovered six statues, but one was defective and one was not transportable. But now he has the required number. In battle, Monkey kills Bunccer-Buhaam and steals part of his equipment. This includes a data medium in which Cardan finds information about a secret planet of the Tefroders named Connoort. While two parties of the Paramags are fighting each other (one wants to drive out all strangers, the other wants to open up to the peoples of the Milky Way ), Monkey orders Gucky to teleport with him and Vazquarion after the Tefroders and into the LAHMU.  Plothalo is left behind, despondent over returning to his disability and insanity. Gucky feels guilt over leading him along with the lie of a possible cure.
