Enemy Mine in SF

There was a WW2 movie of Jame Coburn as an American pilot? and a Japanese soldier alone on an island who though enemies become friends <br />It was reprised in Enemy Mine as a sci-fi movie. <br /><br />So how would you approach this as Star Frontiers adventure? It would certainly work for 1 GM and 1 player situation.<br /><br />A sathar and one of the PC races?<br />Sathar hynotizes the PC and then they get along as friends!<br />Not much fun for the PC.<br /><br />for that to work as a game you'd have to eliminate the possibility of an easy kill by both sides- no ammo for lasers and autopistols<br /><br />the PC would have to have an effective defense against hypnotic effects or a very high ability that would make it easy for him to resist.<br /><br />You'd have to have a seriously dangerous enviroment to force them to work together to survive.<br /><br />Or would this work better with say a mechanon? or some other race?<br /><br />EDIT: I also think you'd have to have some well developed ideas about the NPCs culture to give the game the right flavor- that said the sathar might be impossible for this- I cant really imagine much in the way of culture for them.
