==Plot==
While on a government mission far from civilization, the all-female crew of the spaceship ''Muze'' finds a seemingly lifeless ship, named the ''Zogne'', drifting in space. They investigate and stumble across numerous dead bodies as well as a single survivor — Flair Mytomeyer, an innocuous-looking girl, who is diagnosed with [[amnesia]] after being found in a sleep chamber. The crew bring the girl back to the ''Muze'' and treat her with sympathy as a medical patient. Computer expert Hikari begins attempting to decrypt the computer records of the ''Zogne'' to find out what happened to its crew.

After further searching, Hikari discovers the illegal drug Metrogria (which disables the immune system) on the ''Zogne'', and the Captain of the ''Muze'' commands that the ''Zogne'' be destroyed. Meanwhile, Flair (who is actually a dangerous [[tentacle]]d [[extraterrestrial life|alien]]) has begun to wreak havoc, approaching the crew members one by one and [[tentacle rape|tentacle raping]] them to implant eggs in them. This causes the victims to become insane and die. Hikari finally learns this secret after decoding the computer records, but not before the Captain and several other crew members have already succumbed to Flair.

Hikari and her sister attempt to destroy Flair with weaponry, but the alien seems invincible. Eventually, after Lindo stops them to commandeer the ship, the alien corners the sisters in the ship's cargo hold. Hikari escapes but her sister does not, ending up locked in the hold with the alien. Seeking revenge, Hikari puts a Metrogria capsule in a pistol, re-enters the hold and shoots the alien, mortally wounding it. She then opens the cargo bay door and the alien is blown out into space along with several dead bodies.

The show has a post-credits sequence where "the real ending" is revealed, revealing Hikari's sister returning to the control room in a normal state to greet her, who Hikari embraces. As they hug, her sister shows an evil grin with the film ending with Einstein snarling at her, implying that Hikari and Einstein were both killed and the alien imposter made its way into civilization.
