Synopsis

Cosmo gets K-3000 Uni-appliance for Cosmo's Diner (the diner that Team Lightyear seems to spend too much time at); the K-3000 Uni-appliance is an experimental device that absorbs one's kitchen appliances into itself, and is able to use them all due to its powerful, experimental energy source and its "liquid steel" structure (...possibly constructed of nanobots?...very much like a robotic shoggoth, from H.P.Lovecraft's stories...). NOS-4-A2 senses the power within the K-3000 when the courier delivering it passes close to the abandoned ship that he was residing in, trails after it, and takes control of the K-3000, all of Cosmo's restaurant equipment, and then all of Cosmo's Diner. Team Lightyear is in the process of returning Professor Triffid to his home planet, Rhizome, after a failed attempt on his part to convince Star Command to incorporate "organic vegetative technology" into their systems, when they receive the distress call from Cosmo. When their usual methods fail to defeat NOS-4-A2 (since, with the K-3000, he is able to not only take control of their weapons and Space Ranger Power Armor, but to also have it work against THEM...), Team Lightyear must work with Professor Triffid and use his plant-tech to defeat NOS-4-A2.
