By accident, the uncharted planet Ebon launches an atomic missile on Earth. The Unified Earth Force sends six troopers to retaliate but they are captured and made prisoners of war. They are questioned and tortured by the local authorities in a devious way. In fact, it is all pretence and a guinea pigs training camp supervised by Earth's high officers to measure the limits of their own army.

| Opening Narration: A war between worlds had long been dreaded. Throughout recent history, Man, convinced that life on other planets would be as anxious and belligerent as life on his own, has gravely predicted that some dreadful form of combat would inevitably take place between our world and that of someone else. And Man was right. To the eternal credit of the peoples of this planet Earth, history shall be able to proclaim loudly and justly that in this war between Unified Earth and the planet Ebon, Ebon struck first. Ebon: Its form of life unknown, its way of life unpredictable. To the fighting troops of Earth, a black question mark at the end of a dark, foreboding journey.
| Closing Narration: The exploration of human behavior under simulated conditions of stress is a commonplace component of the machinery called war. So long as Man anticipates and prepares for combat, be it with neighboring nations or with our neighbors in space, these unreal games must be played, and there are only real men to play them. According to established military procedure, the results of the Ebon maneuvers will be recorded in books and fed into computers for the edification and enlightenment of all the strategists of the future. Perhaps they will learn something.
| Major Jong: It seems to me that a totally different form of life would have developped a totally different form of death. (...) Well, death, here, would truly be our mysterious adventure.
