Plot Synopsis
When Belinda's father is in trouble she finds she's the only one who can help him.
Plot Summary
Belinda received a message from Captain Westley Roberts that her father was in trouble and he needed her help in saving him. After agreeing to meet with Captain Roberts, he explains to Belinda that Captain Bly came to collect "interest" on Belinda's father's debt and he could not pay, so he Bly had Agamemnon captured and is holding and torturing him. The Space Pirate Code prevented Westley from interfering, but it doesn't prevent Belinda from rescuing her father. Westley told Belinda they still have some time before Bly starts removing limbs and explained that it was how Agamemnon lost the limbs he was already missing when Belinda commented he'd be used to it by now.
In Bly's lair, he interrogated Agamemnon who refused to give over any information and resigned himself to the fact that he will always be in debt to Bly. Bly continued to push about where someone was who had something that Bly wanted and Agamemnon only rebuffed, not wanting to let that person lose an eye, hand, leg, or anything else, like he had under Bly's "debt."
Belinda and Westley sneaked into the compound through the air ventilation system, dispatching a couple of guards along the way. They are also forced to pause when a tour group passes by as Bly liked to show off his facility to inspire fear. With Bly finally having lost his patients with Agamemnon's resistance he went to start at partial castration but Belinda and Westley arrived and Belinda force shoved both Bly and his lawyer against the walls. Westley freed Agamemnon and impliesd that he will be going out for drinks with Belinda who promptly used a Jedi mind trick on him to suggest they would not be doing anything.
When Westley left to secure their escape Agamemnon struggled to tell Belinda something, but she beat him to the punch, explaining that she knew that Westley was her half-brother, much to her father's shock. During their escape Belinda promptly revealed the same information to her half-brother and left him and her father to talk it out.
With them gone, Bly contacted his associates about the identity of Agamemnon's children and ended the transmission with a salute to the King in Yellow.
