Synopsis:
While waiting for passengers on Mercury, Space Cabbie notices a box left in the back seat of his taxi by one of his customers. There is smudged writing on the box which the cab driver believes says "Dangerous Keep Cool". The box then begins clicking.

Space Cabbie thinks the package might be a bomb. He hears on the radio that a criminal is carrying a bomb in a box and a reward is being offered for his capture. Space Cabbie then seeks to locate the owner of the box and claim the reward, but he tries to keep the box cool to prevent the bomb from exploding.

After tracking down several of his previous customers, Space Cabbie locates Dan Crouse on the icewolrd Khip Vool. The box belongs to Crouse and contains his pet Klikky. Space Cabbie misread the writing on the box which actually said "Dan Crouse Khip Vool". He wasn't carrying a bomb at all, but he does receive a reward for returning Crouse's pet.
