Plot Synopsis


Belinda goes before the Jedi Council to present her findings. President Palpatine unveils the next stage of his dark plans. Lieutenant Deborah Pascal joins the Muffin crew to arrest Marty.

Plot Summary


Belinda presents her findings to the Jedi Council, that President Palpatine is a Sith and that they are all in trouble. The Council, however, believes that they, in their infinite wisdom would have figured out what he was already and thus he can not be a Sith. The Council then leave for business and leave and enraged Belinda to her own devices.
The President has other plans for the Jedi however and begins their systematic destruction with a sabotage of the Jedi Council's Ship? which turns out to be a bit stranger than the President intended. He then gives an order to take all Jedi into custody and prepares for the next stage of his plans.
On board the Muffin, the Captain receives a message from Lieutenant Deborah Pascal who states that she and a telepath are coming on board to take Marty into custody for being a Jedi.
Marty is arrested and while in holding is visited by his friends. He realizes the situation is dire and that he must escape and tricks Robin into letting him escape, quickly making his way to Princess Natalie, who is not only unwilling to help him, but instead turns him in, which breaks his heart.
Marty gets Johnny to give him access to his ship? and escapes into space.
