'Death Probe' (Part 1) (Story Code '45122') by Stephen E. De Souza (a.k.a. Steven E. De Souza)

The Russian space program launches a new self-reliant probe to investigate the surface of the planet Venus. However, due to a malfunction, the probe crash-lands in Wyoming, in the United States of America; still believing that it has arrived on Venus, the probe immediately begins a trail of destruction – and a small town lies directly in its path. As the Russian and American forces each mount a desperate attempt to stop the probe before it wipes out the town’s population, Steve is called in to help. But can even his bionics defeat the virtually unstoppable machine?
