A team of Providence soldiers led by Captain Calan, carrying an important data rod, are shot down over the "Bug Jar" (formerly Kiev, Ukraine,
which has been sealed off from the rest of the world via a one-way
force field bubble). Rex, Six, and Bobo are called in to retrieve the
rod and any survivors of the crew. Doctor Holiday gives Rex a secret
task of collecting samples, on the condition of a dinner date with Rex.
Rex is able to secure the data rod after entering the zone, but things
go awry when E.V.O.s attack the trio, and they are stranded inside the
Bug Jar. The E.V.O.s are being led by a faceless, four-armed E.V.O.
called No-Face. Rex and the others escape from No-Face, and meet up with
two of Calan's team, who are none too pleased with Rex's carefree
nature about the data-rod's retrieval. They lead Rex and Six to a site
where No-Face is forcing Calan and another member of his team to repair
the downed ship, using a form of telepathy to communicate with the other
E.V.O.s. After a struggle, Rex and the others make contact with
Holiday, who tells them to head for a hotel for extraction. As the group
wait for help to arrive, No-Face leads another charge against Rex and
the team, hoping to use the extraction as a way of escaping the Bug Jar.
However, Rex manages to use Holiday's sample collector to disable
No-Face and escape with the rescue team, leaving the faceless creature
and his brood still trapped. Back at Providence headquarters, Rex
pretends to have lost the data rod to tick off White Knight, earning
recognition from the crew he saved when he allows them to take the
credit for its retrieval. Holiday is happy to see Rex and the others
safe, even if he didn't manage to collect samples for her. She mentions
it meant everything to her, except a date.
