Plot Synopsis


Sometimes good guys make the best bad guys.

Plot Summary


A message from Skip's sister that she has been kidnapped by Corman Voor prompted him to organize a team to rescue her from the moon of Clarion. Robin lead the team composed of Jeff, Johnny, Colleen Macmillan along with Skip. They cased Voor's museum, to steal one of his valuable artifacts so that it could be traded for Skip's sister.
Johnny distracted the security guard while Jeff and Robin slipped in the front door. Jeff showed off his skills by slipping through the security lasers, but Robin just had Skip shut them off for him. When the job seemed easy Voor stepped in with his private security to capture Jeff and Robin and the plan began to fall apart. After Voor monologued about how stupid Robin and his team were Robin made sure the security were far enough into the room before having Skip shut the door, he explained the security system was pretty easy, but the guards were going to be complicated, at least now he'd brought the number down that would be a problem.
While Johnny was distracting the security in the front by letting her handcuff him Colleen showed herself as the janitor cleaning nearby and knocked out the guard. Then the two of them and Skip took on the remaining guards to get Valarie out. While Robin explained this to Voor he commented that he and Jeff were still stuck in the room with them, but Robin showed him that it was just a holographic projection and they had never really been in the room.
With Valerie rescued they made their escape but Valerie stopped to tell Skip that she had found information that their parents had been murdered and not killed in an accident as they had always been told. Skip got permission from Captain Smith to investigate his parents' deaths and after giving Belinda some interesting information asked her if she would train him how to fight. The last of this he managed with his speech pattern slowed down to normal.
