Plot Synopsis


An enemy from Shauna's past is on the ship and causing big problems.

Plot Summary


Shauna, Belinda, and Marty ducked into a side hall to avoid blaster fire and questioned each other as to the identity of their attacker. Shauna told them to distract him and she used to duct system to sneak around him. When she came face to face with him she remembered an incident many years earlier when she was with the Marines.
Penumbra had been injured in an attack and Shauna sneaked around his attacker to confront him in a manner similar to what she had done in the present day. In the fight that followed Shauna had shot a section of the bulkhead that exploded in Malvarone's face and she had thought him dead. Instead it had only cost him large sums of pain and money in creating a life support system.
Shauna and Malvarone exchanged words about her hope that he had died that day rather than just been disfigured and she promised him she would do better next time. He suggested that there would be no such next time and attacked her. Though Malvarone gained the upper hand Belinda joined the fight and between them Malvarone decided to flee. In his flight he dodged 46 and even used the droid as a weapon, taking Belinda out of the fight.
Tired of Shauna catching up with him Malvarone tossed an explosive charge in her path and moved to escape to his ship. Shauna tossed the explosive back in his face and it blew a hole in the hull of the ship. Malvarone was able to survive the explosion and escape back to his ship while Shauna was able to close the blast doors and seal off the area open to space.
During the debrieifing Shauna informed the others about Sigmund Malvarone and it was revealed he was able to get some information from their ship, but he covered his tracks so well it was impossible to tell what he had access to and what he copied. Malvarone then delivered that information to Gomorrah the Hutt, with the promise that he would be able to kill Shauna when the time came for that.
