The galaxy is engulfed in a fierce war. Four injured sailors stand together, watching ships dock and eagerly anticipate the return of their loved ones. Because of malfunctioning cybernetics, they cannot fulfill their debt to the Navy. As a result, their next of kin were conscripted into service in their stead.
