Plot Synopsis


The crew of the Muffin go about their daily lives dealing with the new changes in their world.

Plot Summary


After a quick recap we rejoin the crew of the Muffin. Belinda has returned and the new XO wants to have her arrested. However, Belinda is not so easily taken down as Marty was and Mister Combs is unable to sway her otherwise. Belinda blows past them and goes to take a shower. Belinda is then confronted by Dr. Notio who confeses there was some damage to her Sick Bay while she was gone, but it's okay, everything was rebuilt and built better. After some apprehension Belinda decides all is forgiven as she likes the new look and is rather happy with the situation. She goes to see Shauna and the two talk for a while about the new developments and what they're going to do about things. It ends with Belinda making jokes about Shauna and the robot impersonating Bob. Belinda later apologizes to the Captain who assures her that it was not her fault and that at least he can protect her. She worries that she might be putting the crew in danger, but he suggests they're always in danger and that the level does not go up significantly with a fugitive Jedi on board.
Shauna organizes a meeting in Engineering to avoid being bugged and they decide they need to do something about preparing the Jedi for the new assault. Shauna suggests she knows a Jedi that might be able to help from her Marine days and she is instructed to send them a message if she can. Belinda, on the other hand is told to train Angrius, a task she is not extremely happy with.
Lt. Pascal comes to the Captain with the worry that the crew do not respect her and while she asks the Captain's advice she doesn't seem to be paying much attention to it. This nearly comes to a head when Shauna appears and the Chief Engineer nearly attacks the XO, being halted only by Belinda's intervention. When she is done preventing Shauna from doing something she'd regret, Belinda goes back to training Angrius on the holodeck in a setting similar to her own training arena when she was a padawan. She pits Angrius against her own skills as well as those of several holographic Sith in an attempt to get him to realize his potential.
After training Angrius heads to 12 Forward for a drink and a relax and there he talks with the guys until Princess Natalie comes by and asks if he'd like to chat with her. The two start to form a connection and see that they have things in common and she indicates that she likes him.
Before, during, and after Angrius's arrival in 12 Forward various conversations go on between the regular crew regarding daily lives.
