Plot
On the planet Trinia, human slaves live underground for millennia mining crystals for their "god" Zygon and his robots. Young miner Orin finds a jeweled sword embedded in the rocks. Hopps, grandfather of Orin's girlfriend Elan, recognizes it and dies saving Orin and keeping the sword a secret. Orin eventually grabs the sword, which levitates and buries itself in the cavern's floor. The blade projects the image of an old man, saying that above the caverns is a "magnificent universe". The blade then disappears, leaving only the hilt.
