A high-octane trucker episode that pairs Spike with VT, a tough-as-nails space hauler, as they hunt a terrorist bomber through the working-class highways of the solar system.
Spike heads to a space trucker station looking for a bounty named Decker, who's been bombing cargo ships. At the bar he meets VT, a tough hauler known as the Heavy Metal Queen, and accidentally makes a bad impression after a bar fight breaks out. Meanwhile, Decker's already disguised himself as a trucker and joined a convoy heading out. Spike sneaks onto the same convoy, and when VT discovers him stowed away on her rig, she's pissed and thinks he's the bomber. They end up arguing until the real bomber's truck explodes, and Spike realizes Decker's escaped onto a nearby space station.
Spike and VT chase Decker into the station, but turns out the guy rigged the whole place to blow. Spike stays behind to rescue Decker while VT drives her massive truck straight through the exploding facility to save them both. They escape just as everything detonates, and VT gains respect for Spike as a fellow professional. The bounty gets away, but Spike earned a solid reputation among the space truckers.
"See you, space cowboy..."
