Plot Summary


As Red is walking down the hall a Space Ninja appears and despite Red's protests proceeds to cause him harm. Red runs to sickbay? but instead of finding Dr. Reines he finds a new doctor, Dr. Cheeseman. Regardless of the fact that Red is missing an arm, Cheeseman refuses to give him any medication for the pain or do anything about the situation. Red then runs to Belinda who brings in a friend to help out. Through an act of pure violence Belinda shows Dr. Cheeseman the value of pain medication.
Elsewhere on the ship Marty is attacked by the Space Ninja but proves to have some defense against the dangerously sharp sword. The sword, however is not severed by Marty's lightsaber which greatly surprises Marty. Marty quickly reports the problem to the Captain who has no idea how to handle the situation. When the Space Ninja attacks the bridge Marty fights back but the Captain is fairly disinterested in the whole ordeal. The ninja introduces himself as Jeff and explains that he really had no reason at all for being on the ship and though he disappears again Conway is able to detect him and pin him down. Jeff conceeds that Conway is his better and agrees to leave the crew alone.
