Victory! The triumphal return of the cyber-uplifted rats and bats is
greeted with the reward the HAR Army traditionally gives its best:

Arrest, detention without trial, and a firing squad at dawn.

Chip Connolly, vat-bred other-ranker hero, comes home from
conquest of several million alien Magh', to find that was the easy
bit. The real enemy, the enemy within, has not yet even begun to
fight.

Now, the rats and bats have to raise the revolution. Or, at least
make sure that someone with opposable thumbs survives to open
screw-caps. The alien menace lurks in their midst, since the aliens
have harnessed that most dangerous foe against them: human
bureaucracy. They have to take on the secret police and an alien
starship armed with missiles and lasers. All they have is superglue,
an armored golf-cart and a delight in mayhem. Surely, they are
doomed.

But wait: who is this hero leaping through the darkness? He's a
macho hidalgo without peer. His voice is like thunder. . . . His
lemur-like body would fit in a soup-cup. However, his waistcoat is
immaculate.

Only Fluff can save them now, with a bit of help from Elvis. And
some burnin' love.
