An extension of both the film and book versions of STARSHIP TROOPERS, this brilliantly rendered CGI series follows the adventures of new Space Marine recruit Johnny Rico, a member of an elite killing squadron known as Razak's Roughnecks. The Roughnecks are holding the line against a spacefaring alien-insect menace intent on destroying Earth. In this episode, Rico and his fellow squad members face an unforeseen horror when Lieutenant Zander catches a bug virus which transforms him into a powerful half human/half bug enemy.
