Major John Skokes is taken prisoner during an interstellar war and thrown into a dark cell, where he meets an imprisoned female cadet.
After Skokes is thrown into a cell, he sees his fellow prisoner and, suspicious, questions her about her name, background and unit. Her name is Bree Tristan and she is a cadet. He spots a strange growth on her arm, and she tells him that the alien jailers have been experimenting by grafting samples of their own skin onto her, seemingly in an effort to make her into one of them.
Skokes asks her about the layout of the jail. She tells him that her previous cell-mate was an instructor who they tortured to death, and that there is no way out because the aliens are more intelligent and a hundred times stronger. Skokes tells her how badly the war is going, the outer colonies have been destroyed and that he must get out and back into the fight.
Bree looks again at her skin graft and says that it's the third attempt, and it looks as though it is working this time. Skokes grabs her arm and tries to forcibly rip the graft from her arm — suddenly the huge alien guard appears and drags the cadet out of the cell.
Skokes examines the layout of the cell and manages to climb up to a small barred window on the roof. Using a sharp piece of rock he believes he can slowly cut through the metal bars. In other cells he can hear the sounds of humans being tortured.
Bree is returned to the cell, and having been subjected to further experiments by placing skin grafts on more of her body. She explains how much Earth has changed during the war. A few hours later she is taken for more experiments.
Skokes finally cuts through the bars on the roof skylight and escapes. He climbs along the roof tunnel only to be attacked by an unseen creature. After stabbing it and driving it away, he climbs down, back into his cell... but loses his cutting implement. Bree is thrown back into the cell, now with a considerable fraction of her body covered in alien skin. She uses her now alien arm to retrieve his cutting implement.
