A Centrum team has been located in Gernsback's Los Angeles. In particular, they are at Desilu Studios, apparently interfering in the career of one Gene Roddenberry, a producer working on a new TV show called Space Trek. Obviously Centrum has some plot to interfere in Gernsback's cultural development to their benefit, so the PC's are sent to stop them.

Once there, a bit of investigation shows that the only interference that Centrum's agents have performned is preventing network executives from interfering and helping Mr. Roddenberry get his financial backing. Centrum wants Space Trek to succeed! (It seems that they like Gene's vision of a squeaky-clean future with a united humanity and guys in uniforms having all the answers.)

Do the PC's do away with Centrum, thereby putting obstacles in Roddenberry's path? Do they scuttle Roddenberry's potentially society-altering career? Do they sit back and allow Centrum do as it will? Do they help Centrum, hoping that Roddenberry's message of peace and optimism in the future overrides the Centrum's benevolent-dictatorship propaganda?
