The human military has arrived at the planet Lankmere to study how the civilization has avoided war throughout their history. The Lankmerans don't have weapons, and don't recognize guns for what they are. Shortly after their arrival, another race, wearing red environmental suits and bearing laser rifles, appears suddenly and sets about killing everybody. If the humans don't protect them, the Lankmerans will be exterminated.
