Plot Synopsis

Plot Summary


Studying the Alliance Archives Belinda discovers a discrpency leading her to suspect problems with the president and decides to go in search of a fallen Jedi Master named Koz. The Captain gives her permission and she asks Shauna for a ship, at which point she is presented with Lil' Bastard and Z0-MG. She makes her way to Zerka, a tech dead world in the Deep Core. Finding only her lightsaber actually works she sets out into the wilderness of Zerka on her own.
Marty, TAG, and Angrius are escourted to their destination but are saved by Jeff, Mitch, and Stan in what appeared to be a plan orchestrated by Marty. Needing to get higher in the complex before they escape they discover they have been taken to Loshvuk but that the Muffin is no longer in orbit. In their escape attempt they are attacked by advanced droids but the ninjas are able to get them out again. Just before transporting out Marty determines something important and tells the ninjas that they need to message the Muffin to meet them at Carbile. The Brain and Bob have been looking on and the Brain states that all is going according to plan. The message is also intercepted by Darth Creepius and he sets course for Carbile as well.
Back on the Muffin, Shauna is convinced something is wrong with the Captain and sets about to get him out of power and put Robin in his place. Though much of the crew is doubtful that her intentions are entirely good they decide to go forward with the plan. A transmission from Marty to meet them at Carbile stalls their plans, however, and things are put on hold.
