Synopsis
While Satellite Sally was searching for kidnapped composer Robert von Hesslington, her partner Clare de Lune was abducted and detained in the laboratory of Professor Z’s moon base. Sally tracks down Robert, who explains that Professor Z is forcing him to compose a piece of music that could de-stabilize the universe!  Suddenly, the Beetle Queen bursts in with the robot
MC-7, who zaps Sally unconscious and takes her to the base’s lab for the next phase of “Project: Uncreate”. 

Meanwhile, the Kid has gone from mere reader to full-blown character and joins Doc Danger in her subterranean hideaway.  The Doc explains that the stolen blueprints detail a machine called a Matter Phase Modulator, designed to tap into esoteric energies.  Just then, the Lady in Black and Jesai of the Jaguars arrive to enlist Danger’s help.  The Lady has had a premonition: Professor Z and his cohorts intend to use the modulation device to harness the Gem of Zavvenu’s magical properties. The Doc, Jesai, and Lady pile into Danger’s interplanetary space vehicle and blast off to confront Professor Z,
the Kid in tow.

On the moon, the Beetle Queen puts the finishing touch - the Gem of Zavvenu - on the now complete Modulator.  Our heroes arrive, but are quickly subdued by MC-7 and taken to the laboratory, where they - alongside Sally and Clare - are shackled in electric collars which force them to sing Robert’s space-destabilizing composition!   Professor Z then reveals his dastardly designs: harness the Gem’s magic to project the music throughout the cosmos, destroying the universe in the process!
But luckily for the Danger Squad, the Kid has one last trick up her sleeve
