BONES TO THE RESCUE! His name is Dr. Bones. He will transport you across a galaxy of unknown fate and perilous adventures. His discoveries unveil mysterious fossils, forgotten species and vanished empires. Battling villains, both human and alien, he fights to preserve the legacies of the galaxy. Dr. Bones, archaeologist and professor, is called to another adventure. Alien artifacts have turned up on a frontier mining planet, Komako. Since no animal life was known there before, Bones rushes to examine the evidence. However, his attempt to preserve the dragon-like fossils and their environment meets opposition from the start. The miners would rather continue their profitable strip-mining business and ignore the saurian artifacts. Dr. Bones and his crew interfere, and the tension builds. Soon, mysterious disturbances trouble the miners and the excavators alike, and threaten the safety of the artifacts. Equipment is sabotaged, and rumor has it that the saurian are still alive-and are trying to scare the humans off their planet. Can Bones stop the destruction before it's too late?
