Vagrant Queen (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - A Royal Ass-Kicking - full transcript
Former queen Elida is cornered by her nemesis, so an old friend comes to her aid, bringing big news.
Jackpot.
Looks like we got
some scavenger competition.
This day just got interesting.
Ah, ah, ah...
Drop it.
Well, well...
What do we have here?
Nigel, it's pretty clear
this is another scavenger.
I know it's a scavenger, Carl.
Stealin'...
That's a pretty major penalty.
Are you concerned about that?
'Cause we came here
to steal too.
- Shut up, Carl!
- Come on, guys.
Scavenger to scavenger,
this is my find.
Oh, yeah,
scavenger honour code and all.
But, uh...
I don't really care.
So we'll be taking that.
You look...
familiar.
I know your face.
I'm sure I do.
Karaoke bar on Crovax, right?
Do I look like I karaoke?
Well, I try not to judge
a book by its cover.
Carl over there,
face like a boar's ass,
voice of an angel.
It's a pleasure doing
business with you.
Oh, and that ship of yours?
We'll be taking that too.
It's a classic.
Last chance to stop
being a dick.
Oh, sorry!
I missed the part where
you had a gun and I don't
and you have any say
in this whatsoever.
Oh, my gosh!
Sing for me now, bitch.
I can come up with a better
one- liner than that.
Whatever.
I'm gonna work on that.
You got blood on my new...
Jacket, Carl.

Season 01 Episode 01
Episode Title: "A Royal Ass-Kicking"
Aired on: March 27, 2020
Mom, no!
Shit...
Boosters at 30%.
Ah, I heard you the last time.
Are you kidding me, Vado?
This looks like junk, Elida.
'Cause it is junk,
junk that you asked for.
Look, this is Cibarian salvage.
It doesn't grow on trees.
You know,
blood was spilt for that.
And I'm guessing
it wasn't your blood,
so no big deal.
This stuff just doesn't go
for what it used to, okay?
Demand is down.
Yeah, but you're offering
a fraction of what we agreed on.
You've been in this
business long enough
to know I don't honour
bad agreements.
So, take the offer
or nothing at all.
Excellent.
Hey, it's always
a pleasure, Elida.
Chaz.
Hook me up.
Bad day?
Vado ripped me off again, so...
nothing out of the ordinary.
Vado, no way.
That was supposed to be
my big score.
Pretty sure I've heard
that before.
Not thinking of retiring,
are you?
Can't imagine a scavenger's
pension plan is any good.
I'm done with this
life on the run.
Getting as far away from any
semblance of my past sounds...
- pretty damn good right now.
- Ah, look around.
Everyone here's running
from their past.
Nah, this one's on the house.
Thanks, Chaz.
Back to the grind.
Wherever you're heading,
be safe out there, El.
The Republic were spotted
this way recently, so...
Those assholes think
they own the galaxy.
- Mm.
- Besides,
don't think I'm headed
anywhere anytime soon.
Boosters are fried.
Fancy that, you're in luck.
We've got a new mechanic
on the station,
so just mention my name.
She'll give you a discount.
And why is that?
Well, I've got
a number of photos
from her awkward teen years.
What are big brothers
for, right?
Thanks, Chaz.
Hello?
Hello!
Ooh! Uh, um, I'm sorry.
You must be Amae.
That's me.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'm closed.
Turns out no one this
side of the galaxy knows
how to take proper care
of their transformers
and I have a huge backlog.
But I could really use your help
getting off the station.
Your... your brother sent me.
Oh, well,
any friend of Chaz's...
is someone
I'm instantly wary of.
What you got for me, then?
Uh...
Uh...
Not just your boosters,
my friend.
When was the last time you
checked your power regulators?
- Mm...
- I can repair it
for 1,000 units
or replace it for about 3,000.
Okay, so, uh...
tape isn't gonna work anymore?
Oh. Mm- mm.
Look, I've got
an old S900 regulator
back at my shop.
It's not gonna last long
but it'll sort you out for now.
I can fix it in for half.
What's the catch?
You can buy me a beer
at my brother's bar later.
Xija Station is not responding.
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa, full house!
We got a full house!
Take it off.
Take it off!
- As I get two back.
-
Oh. Shit.
Xija Station, receiving.
This is first priority
Admiralty transmission.
Prepare to receive
our boarding party.
Admiralty?
Suspend all departing flights
until further notice.
Yes, sir.
You're clear to land.
Oh...
Oh, guys, I think I had
a little bit too much.
Oh, hey...
Launch the shuttle.
This is a message
from the Republic of Arriopa
All transportation
in and out of Xija
is temporarily suspended
while we search the station
for a fugitive.
Failure to comply
will result in your arrest.
This is a message from
the Republic of Arriopa.
All transportation
in and out of Xija
- is temporarily suspended...
- The Republic...
...While we search
the station for a fugitive.
What the hell are those
punks doing here?
...This is a message
from the Republic of Arriopa.
All transportation
in and out of Xija
is temporarily suspended
while we search the station
- for a fugitive.
- We're out of time.
I can't believe this.
Have security lock down
the entire promenade.
- Oh...
-
Oh, I am way too high for this.
These Republic goons
have no jurisdiction here.
Greetings, most excellent
managerial staff
of Xija Station.
Love what you've done
with your hair.
Now, I know this is
highly irregular.
You can say that again. We have
a mutual agreement here,
commander.
You don't touch Xija property
and we turn a blind eye
to the Republic's illegal
dealings here.
Mm...
Oh, this was my father's.
Yeah, the craftsmanship
is sublime.
Now, if you move I might
accidentally poke an eye.
Our deference
to Xija Station will continue
once we're done
with our business.
We're in pursuit of a fugitive
and we've tracked her...
here.
We have lots of fugitives
from all over the galaxy.
Uh, but,
now this one is special.
The future of our republic
depends on her capture.
Do you have any objection?
We remain allies
of the Republic.
Excellent!
Now, if you'll excuse us...
We have a queen to kill.
-
-
She's over here!
Eldaya, we must go.
What... what's going on?
They're here.
Remember our drills?
Sir, over here!
Go! We'll hold them back.
Hey! Let go!
Ugh!
Run, Eldaya.
Never look back.
Hurry, Eldaya!
Mom, get in.
Heading out so soon?
- Trust only yourself.
- Mom, no.
So good to see you,
old friends.
No, Mom!
Mom, no!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
No!
Mom!
Hey, assface,
this is costing me money.
Could you hurry it up?
- - Ugh!
- - Back off.
- What the...
- Perfect.
Hey! Get back here!
Oof!
Ugh...
Gross.
Well, let me out, then.
I have a better idea.
Uh...
I guess better is subjective
in this situation.
Why don't you take me in
and recycle me instead?
See this next button?
It opens that there gate.
Happy flying!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait, wait, wait,.
You know what,
Lazaro will be pissed
if you take this away from him.
No,
I'll get my third star
and my own company
assault carrier.
Then I won't have to drive
around with Malcolm anymore.
I mean, I dented
the bumper once, once!
Now he won't let me
near the controls.
He's not my dad.
Man, you are so right.
Yeah, but...
but, Lazaro has been
dreaming of killing me
for 15 years.
You know, he'll kill you.
He'll kill you if you take away
this one chance of closure.
You're right.
Yeah.
I'll deliver you
to him myself.
He'll be so...
You...
You're welcome.
I had it under control.
Yeah, looked that way.
Such a poignant moment
for our reunion.
You, swimming in crap,
me, here to put you
back on your feet.
How about some helpful gravity?
Yeah, I... can do this...
- myself.
- Uh- huh.
- Fine.
-
You know, queenie...
for somebody trying to hide
you damn well
make a show of yourself.
This place is off the map.
You'll be safe here.
Kinda.
They've always stayed out
of Xija business.
Lay low, Elida.
- Thanks, Chaz.
- Yeah.
I may have played a small,
tiny part in why they're here.
Why doesn't that
surprise me, Isaac?
- I was selling you out.
- What?
Okay, wait, wait, wait,
that came out wrong.
Look, I sold them some
useless information
but they might have
followed me here.
Okay, okay, okay, so...
You...
led the Admiralty...
here.
Okay, not intentionally.
Look, I needed cash, and bad,
I had nothing.
- When you took my ship...
- No, no, my ship.
My ship, claimed it the second
you put a bullet in me!
Oh, you are still
not over that, eh?
You shot me, Isaac!
Yeah, for which
I profusely apologized.
No, you never apologized!
Okay, fine.
I am sorry
that you made me shoot you.
Made you shoot...
You know what...
Elida, I was pissed
that you left.
But I know why you did.
I was desperate,
and the Admiralty,
they offered me a bunch of units
to get the hell off that place.
I'll be honest, I thought that
they might be able to get me
back to Earth, to Hanna.
Don't be so stupid, Isaac.
Nobody even knows
how to get to Earth
and even if it was possible,
what, you think selling me out
was a noble way to get
back to your wife, huh?
You think she'd be proud of you?
I gave them useless shit, El!
Nothing that would actually
lead them to you.
Current situation excluded.
Look, and maybe...
I should have been a little
more careful about getting here.
You are right.
I am stupid.
I am extremely good looking
and a way better pilot than you,
but I'm stupid.
Move. Move along.
Get out of here.
You, clear out.
What can I get you?
When I was a child...
I took a swig from a bottle
in my father's liquor cabinet
while he was entertaining
some entitled
aristocratic types.
I was very... careful.
I even topped it
back up with water
to make sure he wouldn't notice
what went missing.
Turns out...
he had a security camera
in his study.
He played me back the footage
of my misdemeanor
before giving me...
a burning reminder
not to be a naughty boy.
Alright, so a beer, then?
Oh, you're wicked!
No, no...
On duty.
Searching for a fugitive.
I'm hoping you can help me.
This is Xija.
Everyone and their
aunt's a fugitive.
Lot of travelling folk
passing by here, so...
No, this one frequents
here often.
Elida Al- Feyr.
Must be quite draining to meet
so many new people
day in, day out.
I can understand
your momentary lapse of memory.
If say you were
to remember this fugitive
it would be met
with benevolence,
not punishment.
Like I said,
lot of people pass by here.
Shit...
I think you've been lying to me.
Naughty boy.
And there are severe punishments
for royal sympathizers.
This is gonna hurt...
you...
a lot more than
it's gonna hurt me.
So...
after you decided to stop
freeloading off the guys who...
overthrew the monarchy,
killed me entire family
and burned my home
you thought you would
stop off and what,
- be best buddies again?
- Well, to be honest,
I really didn't
wanna see you again.
But I learned some things
while I was there that you
need to know so I left
and I came here to wait for you.
What things, Isaac?
We gotta talk somewhere safe.
We gotta get to Peggy.
To who?
Uh, the Winnipeg?
My ship?
Yeah, I saw you talking to
a mechanic, so please tell me
that it was just to install
a new coffee cup holder.
That thing's
a piece of crap, Isaac.
Wow, she was running perfectly
the last time I saw her.
Oh, no, no, don't you try
to blame this on me, numbnuts.
Do you know how much tape
I found holding
those thrusters in place?
Okay, you don't know what
you're talking about,
'cause that's how we
fix things on Earth
and it works every time,
so if she's not working now
it's something you've done!
Amae's shop
is on the East wing
but they've got
the place covered.
I can get you out of here
there's just one condition.
You are in no position
to be negotiating.
Well, neither are you,
so I want Peggy back.
Wait, you didn't warn
me about this earlier
because you wanted me
in this position.
Wow!
Wow, you know,
you had me for a second.
- - I needed a chip at the table.
- - Mm.
But that does not mean
that I'm not true to my word.
I can help you to get
out of here, I just...
- I need...
-
I'm not as stupid
as you look, asshole.
And I don't need your help.
Wait...
- There's something... else.
-
That went well.
Ladies and gentlemen,
always have your boarding pass
and identity documents
with you...
Identification. Now.
Clear to go.
I wouldn't do that, my Queen.
You shoot and there will be
20 more here in seconds.
Please...
C- come with us.
No thanks, creep.
We are loyal to the crown,
to the true Arriopa.
Please give us
a moment of your time.
Get out of here.
Fine.
Come this way.
Mm- mm, no.
No, no, no, no, hey.
No, get up. Yeah, there you go.
We've been searching
for you far and wide,
holy queen Eldaya.
We are loyal servants
of the crown.
I betroth my life to you.
Okay, there's a reason
I wanted to stay hidden,
and it's Elida now, by the way.
Our guardian of
the House of Bel- Ior.
No.
- Empress of the third spiral...
- No, okay, no, no, no.
If I'm so important to you
you would do exactly what I said
and shut up right now, okay?
Eldaya...
- Oh, sorry, Elida.
- There you go.
That's very similar
to your actual...
anyway, you'll have
to forgive our enthusiasm.
Protecting the crown
is our life's mission
and when you disappeared
we feared the worst.
Disappeared, no.
No, no, no, no.
I escaped.
And I'm not a queen,
not anymore.
Well, they think you are.
The Republic
and Commander Lazaro will stop
at nothing to find you
and kill you.
Yeah, well I've been running
from them pricks for 15 years,
so nothing new.
There's no reason
to do that alone.
You have a loyal army here
to help protect you.
Protect me?
The way you protected my mother?
There's not a day that passes
that I don't mourn your mother.
The colony had no warning
of the attack.
This is what she wanted,
for you to live amongst
your people,
loyalists of true Arriopa.
The Arriopa you knew is dead.
Oh, gosh,
come on, guys, get over it.
The monarchy is dead.
The revolution
destroyed everything.
They took my crown,
and guess what?
I got over it.
You love the crown so much,
why don't you take it?
Or you?
My light divine,
we are not of royal blood.
Oh god, my light divine, really?
Look, I am not your nightlight
in this shitty darkness.
And if you're not gonna
help me get off this station
- then I guess we're done here.
- Of course we'll help you!
It's why we're here.
They have all the docks
on lockdown right now.
We can't get you back
to your ship,
but we have an unmarked
star drifter
in the lower berth.
We can get you to safety.
Star drifter, that's an upgrade.
I guess Isaac's
gonna get his precious
- Peggy back after all.
- What's that?
Nothing.
We'll have you there
in a few hours,
once I get the all- clear.
Until then, please, relax.
You must be hungry.
Uh, Nim!
Prepare some food for Queen...
Excuse me, Elida.
Nims on it.
So, who do I have
to behead around here
to get a beer?
Again, Eldaya.
I don't want to, I'm tired.
You've got this.
Ow, Hath!
- I taught you better than this.
- I wish you were
still surrounded by the comforts
and luxuries of your childhood,
but that is not
the life you lead now.
Why cant we just,
I dunno, disappear?
Go somewhere where
the Republic cant find us?
You'll never be safe from them.
The foreseeable future
will be a battle
for you, my love.
And we must
prepare you for that.
Good.
Your training is paying off.
Its because I don't get
to do anything else.
Normal teenagers
have friends, Ma.
Normal teenagers
are not queens.
With friendship comes trust...
and that is something you can
never afford to give, my love.
Rest up.
You have target practice
in the morning.
Mm, this is actually...
pretty good.
Oh, thank you.
Family recipe.
Mm, you're Tuk, right?
- Yeah.
- So, howd you end up
in the corner of
the galaxy with these w...
Loyalists?
Nim does not like what
the Republic did.
Not one bit.
Would like them
to give your home back.
Not sure I really want it back.
We've secured the ship.
Well be able to move soon.
Mm, copy that, Denny- boy.
What?
Helping a fugitive escape,
that's a serious offence
little lady.
- Where is she?
- Oh, my crackers,
do you have any idea
how dangerous it is
unplugging a grinder from
the mains while its being used?
- Wrong answer.
- Wait, um...
No, no, no, no, no,
those are alphabetized...
Now that you've
successfully mixed up
my eight- inch needle- nose pliers
with my ten- inch groove joints,
are you satisfied
that shes not here?
We haven't checked everywhere.
What? Oh, really?
Cool. Okay, yeah.
And you are?
Uh, just a customer.
- - Carry on.
- - Oh well.
Looks like were
just gonna have to
take him for questioning.
Really? Come on.
Wheres my ship?
The Winnipeg?
Big, old, beautiful.
Oh, crap.
This wasn't a part of the plan.
-
-
Im Isaac, by the way,
old friend of Elidas.
Dont suppose you
know where she is?
Were completely off the grid.
A launch
won't set off any alarms.
- Where are we going?
- Our base camp.
A few hops away.
Im sorry my Queen,
I cant tell you more.
Not here.
But, oh my...
are people gonna be
so excited to see you!
Great.
Greetings Xija!
The Republic thanks you
for your patience.
While the search
for the fugitive continues,
please be advised
that any and all
monarchy sympathizers...
shall receive
severe punishment...
Chaz...
Your assistance in this matter
is greatly appreciated.
Huh, that is
a good move, Lazaro.
Goin after the one person on
this station Elida would save:
her bartender, right?
That... that's my brother.
Sorry.
Your majesty, we must leave now.
There is no time for this.
- I c3ant leave Chaz like this.
- My queen, he seems like
a lovely bartender,
but we must go.
Theres only
a small chance that...
Just go without me!
You heard what he said,
hell kill any monarchy
sympathizers. Just go.
That's very noble of you,
courageous. I love that!
It... Its just that
the entire colony needs you more
- than this one man.
- Im so sorry...
You are the last
of a royal bloodline.
We cannot let
the monarchy die out.
Woah, woah, woah, hold on.
You go running off like this,
you're gonna ruin my plan.
It is fine,
they're just using
your brother as bait
to get to Elida.
Just being used
as bait? Uh, why?
Look, no offence, but we really
don't have time for this.
Listen here,
I know every nook and cranny
on this station and theres
no way Im letting these
Republic goons
get away with this so,
- maybe Ill help you out, hm?
- Okay.
Why is my brother being used
to capture a scavenger?
- Heres the thing...
-
That scavenger is actually
the Queen of Arriopa.
Well, she was before the revolt.
Yeah, shes been on the run
from the Republic since
- she was a little kid.
- Hm. Queen? Wow, okay.
Elida is a lot of things.
Im... Im far too much
of a gentleman to mention,
but shes loyal
and they know that shes
gonna go after your brother.
Okay. Well, we need a plan.
Yeah, thatll just
come to me in a moment.
You take the bigger one.
Won't be a perfect fit,
but you can slouch.
I like where your heads at.
Ow.
Mmph.
You... you hit me.
You hit a queen.
It sounds terrible
when you describe it that way.
How else would you describe it?
Im so sorry,
Your Highness.
There was a small hiccup
in our plans.
We can leave soon.
Im not going anywhere
with you creeps.
I think you'll make
a magnificent queen.
You were so young before.
You sound like a broken record.
Look, I do not want to be
your queen, okay? So, just...
- just let me go.
-
You could produce an heir.
You're the last
of a royal bloodline.
Do you not hear the crazy?
Okay, alright. Ihred, right?
That's your name.
- - I should tell you something.
- -
Yeah. Come, come.
Little bit closer.
You learn a thing or two
in the scav business
- Oh?
-
Sleep tight, my loyal subject.
You're making this
very difficult.
Ooh...
Uh, Your Highness,
Nim believes
supporting the throne
is supporting
the Queens decisions.
Well, even if that decision is
not to be Queen.
- Thank you.
- We get Chaz now.
Wait, wait, this is pretty much
a suicide mission from here,
- so we should split ways.
- You need Nim.
Cmon!
Alright,
its just the two of them.
- - Nims got this.
- - Okay,
lets go over the plan.
Nim, Nim!
Hello officers.
- - Move along.
- - Wait.
How might
Nim apply to become...
an Admiralty officer?
Whatre you? Three feet?
Actually,
come to think of it, shrimp,
you could fit easily into
the sewerage pipes.
- Huh?
- Give 'em a good cleaning.
- Ooh.
- Move on.
Hey, Nim could be an asset:
Im small, nimble,
good for sneaking...
What do ya say?
Hey!
Hold still,
shrimp won't stop moving.
- You shot me, Neil!
- Sorry!
Hey!
- What was that?
- What?
You totally went off book.
Nim is a black belt in improv.
- Mmkay.
-
No, please.
I won't say anything.
Ah, see, heres the thing...
we need you to do just that.
Sir,
live podcast from sector 4B.
Commander,
we've detained a fugitive.
Oh, my...
Reunited at last.
- Bring her here.
- Um, help required
bringing her in, sir.
She said theres
a large loyalist colony
on the station
and they're heading this way.
Shes a dirty liar,
officer.
Thought so too, sir,
but looks like theres
a hidden ship below her.
Move out!
You think that
they would design
these uniforms differently,
you know? Like, if you're gonna
have all your officers
in the same uniform,
maybe don't make it
so easy to infiltrate.
This thing stinks.
They should really use sanitizer
between every use.
Oh, god.
You got this, Amae.
You're an officer.
You got top marks at...
officing school.
You ready?
Yeah! Lets go!
We need to
transfer the prisoner.
- - Why?
- - 'Cause...
Because he's wanted for more
- - questioning on the fugitive.
- - Fugitive
was just found.
Bringing her in now.
Is she uh...
fugitive alive?
Dunno. So again,
why do you need this prisoner?
Uh, um...
Sold me
some bad Kromuline dust.
Stuff was weak as shit.
Would like to uh, teach him
a lesson. Catch my drift?
Move.
I win
best sibling award this year.
-
-
You.
You played a part
in this trickery.
No sir, she...
she had help.
They made me make the call...
The simple answer is, yes.
What do they say, um, before
such a great performance? Its...
Break a leg.
I know, Im a little late
on the sentiment.
Agh!
Find her.
You and Chaz should hide.
They're gonna be taking Elida
to the Republic shuttle.
And, I have to go.
Hey, uh...
where you taking that prisoner?
Our commands are on
a need- to- know basis.
Uh, where ya going
with that one?
Uh, same, uh,
need- to- know basis, thingy.
Go, Republic...
Go, Republic.
Okay, playtimes over.
The prisoner. Now.
What's this about?
Hey, that's not even
a real prisoner.
No shit, asshat.
Elida?
What the hell? Isaac?
- Whatre you doin here?
- Were trying to save you!
I know you're a mechanic
and all, but theres really
- no fixin this piece of crap.
- Ah? I see you been workin'
- on your one- liners.
- Yeah,
he's a total nincompoop but,
he helped me out
when some Admiralty goons
- came knocking for you.
- Nim is confused.
We all had the same idea.
I swear,
I saw this in a movie once.
I mean, they really gotta
reconsider these uniforms;
this is just way too easy.
Hey!
They're over here!
-
-
Run! Run!
There you go.
Wow, shes not as cool
as I thought shed be.
- Disappointing.
- We failed.
We must find her.
Dengar, Ihred!
The Admiralty are on this level.
We must leave now!
He's wounded!
Well find her.
Im taking my ship back and
getting the hell outta here.
Look, I didn't get to fix
the new regulator in,
so you start that thing up now
and your diffusers
- gonna blow the distribution.
- Hey,
vernacular we understand, Amae.
Ships not going anywhere.
- Dammit.
- Unless...
I like where this is going.
I can manually distribute the
power to shut off the thruster.
- Really sis, help us out.
- I can do it.
I just need to be
on the ship when you take off.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Its too dangerous
for you to come. I cant have
more blood on my hands.
Let's just get out of here.
Well drop her off
- at the nearest planet.
- Mm- hm.
Who said you were
coming with me?
Oh, listen. Please.
Nim thinks you should
save the chit- chat
for a bit later.
We have bigger problems.
They started a war
stepping on Xija property.
Theres not one outlaw
or mafioso who will
let them get away with it.
Ill give you cover
from the platform above,
take out as many
of these goons as I can.
You call me the second
you land somewhere safe.
- Ill come get you.
- See you soon, bro.
Uh, Nim believes saving Elida
gets him a free ride outta here.
Oh yeah, you're good.
You, not so much.
Goodbye Isaac.
- Elida, please, we need to talk.
- Or what?
- What, you'll shoot me again?
- Woah. What's that now?
Yeah.
It is not how it sounds.
Okay, its exactly how
it sounds.
But, this is not about my ship.
Its your mother.
Shes alive.
I made a mistake
selling you out.
But, it led me to this.
Is that my mothers?
How...?
Who gave this to you?
No. I promise
I will tell you everything
and help you get to her.
I just want Peggy back.
My ship, for your mother. Deal?
Lets go.
What the hell, commander?
My station is a mess.
When I speak
to the council of Admirals,
you'll be demoted so fast
you won't have time to...
-
-
I will destroy...
more than
your damn station
if this vermin isnt found.
Nows as good a time as ever.
Show off.
Oh!
You okay?
Oh, now you worry
about me being shot?
Nim make boom!
He can stay.
Nim! Lets go!
Cmon, cmon.
Ill get to
the engine room.
- Nim! Cmon!
- Cmon.
Dah!
- Nim!
- Leave him, El.
Oh...
Good boy.
Look at this.
Queen Eldaya Al- Feyr,
responsible for yet another
innocent life.
Let him go.
Of course.
You know the trade.
No.
No!
There are still those
who believe in you.
It was Nims honour.
Yeah, that's a beautiful
sentiment but really, I...
Long live Elida!
No!
- El, I dont...
- Sit down.
Amae, ready?
- Ready!
-
Update.
The Loyalists escaped, sir.
The people of Xija
have grown restless
- - and are starting to fight back.
- -
We don't have enough officers
to hold down the station.
Well, it appears
we've overstayed our welcome.
Prepare the shuttle.
Should I call
the Admiral, sir?
- - Oof!
- -
Anyone else? Any smart ideas?
Ugh.
What has she done to you?
Im so sorry about Nim.
Didnt really know him.
Cant afford to know anybody.
Well, that's not fair.
Thank you. For all of your help,
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Station Emthree is not too far,
we can get you to safety soon.
So, um...
I noticed a couple names
back there.
Is it Elida, or Eldaya?
Eldaya was my royal name.
I changed it to stay hidden.
-
-
No, no, that is
a great undercover name.
That is completely stealth.
Where are we going, Isaac?
Republic space.
I could guess that much,
its not a small area. Where?
Last time I saw you,
you left me stranded
on a remote planet. Im keeping
whatever cards I have left
close to my chest for now.
You're an asshole.
No, Im a lawyer
and a good one.
- That wasn't me.
-
No, we've lost
the back- up piston.
The Weeniepacks not gonna
make it to the next station.
Its Winnipeg.
Win- ni- peg. Winnipeg!
How can nobody get that right?
We have to land
before I can fix it.
Ill find the nearest planet.
Oh! Hang on tight!

Looks like we got
some scavenger competition.
This day just got interesting.
Ah, ah, ah...
Drop it.
Well, well...
What do we have here?
Nigel, it's pretty clear
this is another scavenger.
I know it's a scavenger, Carl.
Stealin'...
That's a pretty major penalty.
Are you concerned about that?
'Cause we came here
to steal too.
- Shut up, Carl!
- Come on, guys.
Scavenger to scavenger,
this is my find.
Oh, yeah,
scavenger honour code and all.
But, uh...
I don't really care.
So we'll be taking that.
You look...
familiar.
I know your face.
I'm sure I do.
Karaoke bar on Crovax, right?
Do I look like I karaoke?
Well, I try not to judge
a book by its cover.
Carl over there,
face like a boar's ass,
voice of an angel.
It's a pleasure doing
business with you.
Oh, and that ship of yours?
We'll be taking that too.
It's a classic.
Last chance to stop
being a dick.
Oh, sorry!
I missed the part where
you had a gun and I don't
and you have any say
in this whatsoever.
Oh, my gosh!
Sing for me now, bitch.
I can come up with a better

Whatever.
I'm gonna work on that.

Season 01 Episode 01
Episode Title: "A Royal Ass-Kicking"
Aired on: March 27, 2020
Mom, no!
Shit...
Boosters at 30%.
Ah, I heard you the last time.
Are you kidding me, Vado?
This looks like junk, Elida.
'Cause it is junk,
junk that you asked for.
Look, this is Cibarian salvage.
It doesn't grow on trees.
You know,
blood was spilt for that.
And I'm guessing
it wasn't your blood,
so no big deal.
This stuff just doesn't go
for what it used to, okay?
Demand is down.
Yeah, but you're offering
a fraction of what we agreed on.
You've been in this
business long enough
to know I don't honour
bad agreements.
So, take the offer
or nothing at all.
Excellent.
Hey, it's always
a pleasure, Elida.
Chaz.
Hook me up.
Bad day?
Vado ripped me off again, so...
nothing out of the ordinary.
Vado, no way.
That was supposed to be
my big score.
Pretty sure I've heard
that before.
Not thinking of retiring,
are you?
Can't imagine a scavenger's
pension plan is any good.
I'm done with this
life on the run.
Getting as far away from any
semblance of my past sounds...
- pretty damn good right now.
- Ah, look around.
Everyone here's running
from their past.
Nah, this one's on the house.
Thanks, Chaz.
Back to the grind.
Wherever you're heading,
be safe out there, El.
The Republic were spotted
this way recently, so...
Those assholes think
they own the galaxy.
- Mm.
- Besides,
don't think I'm headed
anywhere anytime soon.
Boosters are fried.
Fancy that, you're in luck.
We've got a new mechanic
on the station,
so just mention my name.
She'll give you a discount.
And why is that?
Well, I've got
a number of photos
from her awkward teen years.
What are big brothers
for, right?
Thanks, Chaz.
Hello?
Hello!
Ooh! Uh, um, I'm sorry.
You must be Amae.
That's me.
Uh, I'm sorry.
I'm closed.
Turns out no one this
side of the galaxy knows
how to take proper care
of their transformers
and I have a huge backlog.
But I could really use your help
getting off the station.
Your... your brother sent me.
Oh, well,
any friend of Chaz's...
is someone
I'm instantly wary of.
What you got for me, then?
Uh...
Uh...
Not just your boosters,
my friend.
When was the last time you
checked your power regulators?
- Mm...
- I can repair it
for 1,000 units
or replace it for about 3,000.
Okay, so, uh...
tape isn't gonna work anymore?
Oh. Mm- mm.
Look, I've got
an old S900 regulator
back at my shop.
It's not gonna last long
but it'll sort you out for now.
I can fix it in for half.
What's the catch?
You can buy me a beer
at my brother's bar later.
Xija Station is not responding.
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa, full house!
We got a full house!
Take it off.
Take it off!
- As I get two back.
-
Oh. Shit.
Xija Station, receiving.
This is first priority
Admiralty transmission.
Prepare to receive
our boarding party.
Admiralty?
Suspend all departing flights
until further notice.
Yes, sir.
You're clear to land.
Oh...
Oh, guys, I think I had
a little bit too much.
Oh, hey...
Launch the shuttle.
This is a message
from the Republic of Arriopa
All transportation
in and out of Xija
is temporarily suspended
while we search the station
for a fugitive.
Failure to comply
will result in your arrest.
This is a message from
the Republic of Arriopa.
All transportation
in and out of Xija
- is temporarily suspended...
- The Republic...
...While we search
the station for a fugitive.
What the hell are those
punks doing here?
...This is a message
from the Republic of Arriopa.
All transportation
in and out of Xija
is temporarily suspended
while we search the station
- for a fugitive.
- We're out of time.
I can't believe this.
Have security lock down
the entire promenade.
- Oh...
-
Oh, I am way too high for this.
These Republic goons
have no jurisdiction here.
Greetings, most excellent
managerial staff
of Xija Station.
Love what you've done
with your hair.
Now, I know this is
highly irregular.
You can say that again. We have
a mutual agreement here,
commander.
You don't touch Xija property
and we turn a blind eye
to the Republic's illegal
dealings here.
Mm...
Oh, this was my father's.
Yeah, the craftsmanship
is sublime.
Now, if you move I might
accidentally poke an eye.
Our deference
to Xija Station will continue
once we're done
with our business.
We're in pursuit of a fugitive
and we've tracked her...
here.
We have lots of fugitives
from all over the galaxy.
Uh, but,
now this one is special.
The future of our republic
depends on her capture.
Do you have any objection?
We remain allies
of the Republic.
Excellent!
Now, if you'll excuse us...
We have a queen to kill.
-
-
She's over here!
Eldaya, we must go.
What... what's going on?
They're here.
Remember our drills?
Sir, over here!
Go! We'll hold them back.
Hey! Let go!
Ugh!
Run, Eldaya.
Never look back.
Hurry, Eldaya!
Mom, get in.
Heading out so soon?
- Trust only yourself.
- Mom, no.
So good to see you,
old friends.
No, Mom!
Mom, no!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
No!
Mom!
Hey, assface,
this is costing me money.
Could you hurry it up?
- - Ugh!
- - Back off.
- What the...
- Perfect.
Hey! Get back here!
Oof!
Ugh...
Gross.
Well, let me out, then.
I have a better idea.
Uh...
I guess better is subjective
in this situation.
Why don't you take me in
and recycle me instead?
See this next button?
It opens that there gate.
Happy flying!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait, wait, wait,.
You know what,
Lazaro will be pissed
if you take this away from him.
No,
I'll get my third star
and my own company
assault carrier.
Then I won't have to drive
around with Malcolm anymore.
I mean, I dented
the bumper once, once!
Now he won't let me
near the controls.
He's not my dad.
Man, you are so right.
Yeah, but...
but, Lazaro has been
dreaming of killing me
for 15 years.
You know, he'll kill you.
He'll kill you if you take away
this one chance of closure.
You're right.
Yeah.
I'll deliver you
to him myself.
He'll be so...
You...
You're welcome.
I had it under control.
Yeah, looked that way.
Such a poignant moment
for our reunion.
You, swimming in crap,
me, here to put you
back on your feet.
How about some helpful gravity?
Yeah, I... can do this...
- myself.
- Uh- huh.
- Fine.
-
You know, queenie...
for somebody trying to hide
you damn well
make a show of yourself.
This place is off the map.
You'll be safe here.
Kinda.
They've always stayed out
of Xija business.
Lay low, Elida.
- Thanks, Chaz.
- Yeah.
I may have played a small,
tiny part in why they're here.
Why doesn't that
surprise me, Isaac?
- I was selling you out.
- What?
Okay, wait, wait, wait,
that came out wrong.
Look, I sold them some
useless information
but they might have
followed me here.
Okay, okay, okay, so...
You...
led the Admiralty...
here.
Okay, not intentionally.
Look, I needed cash, and bad,
I had nothing.
- When you took my ship...
- No, no, my ship.
My ship, claimed it the second
you put a bullet in me!
Oh, you are still
not over that, eh?
You shot me, Isaac!
Yeah, for which
I profusely apologized.
No, you never apologized!
Okay, fine.
I am sorry
that you made me shoot you.
Made you shoot...
You know what...
Elida, I was pissed
that you left.
But I know why you did.
I was desperate,
and the Admiralty,
they offered me a bunch of units
to get the hell off that place.
I'll be honest, I thought that
they might be able to get me
back to Earth, to Hanna.
Don't be so stupid, Isaac.
Nobody even knows
how to get to Earth
and even if it was possible,
what, you think selling me out
was a noble way to get
back to your wife, huh?
You think she'd be proud of you?
I gave them useless shit, El!
Nothing that would actually
lead them to you.
Current situation excluded.
Look, and maybe...
I should have been a little
more careful about getting here.
You are right.
I am stupid.
I am extremely good looking
and a way better pilot than you,
but I'm stupid.
Move. Move along.
Get out of here.
You, clear out.
What can I get you?
When I was a child...
I took a swig from a bottle
in my father's liquor cabinet
while he was entertaining
some entitled
aristocratic types.
I was very... careful.
I even topped it
back up with water
to make sure he wouldn't notice
what went missing.
Turns out...
he had a security camera
in his study.
He played me back the footage
of my misdemeanor
before giving me...
a burning reminder
not to be a naughty boy.
Alright, so a beer, then?
Oh, you're wicked!
No, no...
On duty.
Searching for a fugitive.
I'm hoping you can help me.
This is Xija.
Everyone and their
aunt's a fugitive.
Lot of travelling folk
passing by here, so...
No, this one frequents
here often.
Elida Al- Feyr.
Must be quite draining to meet
so many new people
day in, day out.
I can understand
your momentary lapse of memory.
If say you were
to remember this fugitive
it would be met
with benevolence,
not punishment.
Like I said,
lot of people pass by here.
Shit...
I think you've been lying to me.
Naughty boy.
And there are severe punishments
for royal sympathizers.
This is gonna hurt...
you...
a lot more than
it's gonna hurt me.
So...
after you decided to stop
freeloading off the guys who...
overthrew the monarchy,
killed me entire family
and burned my home
you thought you would
stop off and what,
- be best buddies again?
- Well, to be honest,
I really didn't
wanna see you again.
But I learned some things
while I was there that you
need to know so I left
and I came here to wait for you.
What things, Isaac?
We gotta talk somewhere safe.
We gotta get to Peggy.
To who?
Uh, the Winnipeg?
My ship?
Yeah, I saw you talking to
a mechanic, so please tell me
that it was just to install
a new coffee cup holder.
That thing's
a piece of crap, Isaac.
Wow, she was running perfectly
the last time I saw her.
Oh, no, no, don't you try
to blame this on me, numbnuts.
Do you know how much tape
I found holding
those thrusters in place?
Okay, you don't know what
you're talking about,
'cause that's how we
fix things on Earth
and it works every time,
so if she's not working now
it's something you've done!
Amae's shop
is on the East wing
but they've got
the place covered.
I can get you out of here
there's just one condition.
You are in no position
to be negotiating.
Well, neither are you,
so I want Peggy back.
Wait, you didn't warn
me about this earlier
because you wanted me
in this position.
Wow!
Wow, you know,
you had me for a second.
- - I needed a chip at the table.
- - Mm.
But that does not mean
that I'm not true to my word.
I can help you to get
out of here, I just...
- I need...
-
I'm not as stupid
as you look, asshole.
And I don't need your help.
Wait...
- There's something... else.
-
That went well.
Ladies and gentlemen,
always have your boarding pass
and identity documents
with you...
Identification. Now.
Clear to go.
I wouldn't do that, my Queen.
You shoot and there will be
20 more here in seconds.
Please...
C- come with us.
No thanks, creep.
We are loyal to the crown,
to the true Arriopa.
Please give us
a moment of your time.
Get out of here.
Fine.
Come this way.
Mm- mm, no.
No, no, no, no, hey.
No, get up. Yeah, there you go.
We've been searching
for you far and wide,
holy queen Eldaya.
We are loyal servants
of the crown.
I betroth my life to you.
Okay, there's a reason
I wanted to stay hidden,
and it's Elida now, by the way.
Our guardian of
the House of Bel- Ior.
No.
- Empress of the third spiral...
- No, okay, no, no, no.
If I'm so important to you
you would do exactly what I said
and shut up right now, okay?
Eldaya...
- Oh, sorry, Elida.
- There you go.
That's very similar
to your actual...
anyway, you'll have
to forgive our enthusiasm.
Protecting the crown
is our life's mission
and when you disappeared
we feared the worst.
Disappeared, no.
No, no, no, no.
I escaped.
And I'm not a queen,
not anymore.
Well, they think you are.
The Republic
and Commander Lazaro will stop
at nothing to find you
and kill you.
Yeah, well I've been running
from them pricks for 15 years,
so nothing new.
There's no reason
to do that alone.
You have a loyal army here
to help protect you.
Protect me?
The way you protected my mother?
There's not a day that passes
that I don't mourn your mother.
The colony had no warning
of the attack.
This is what she wanted,
for you to live amongst
your people,
loyalists of true Arriopa.
The Arriopa you knew is dead.
Oh, gosh,
come on, guys, get over it.
The monarchy is dead.
The revolution
destroyed everything.
They took my crown,
and guess what?
I got over it.
You love the crown so much,
why don't you take it?
Or you?
My light divine,
we are not of royal blood.
Oh god, my light divine, really?
Look, I am not your nightlight
in this shitty darkness.
And if you're not gonna
help me get off this station
- then I guess we're done here.
- Of course we'll help you!
It's why we're here.
They have all the docks
on lockdown right now.
We can't get you back
to your ship,
but we have an unmarked
star drifter
in the lower berth.
We can get you to safety.
Star drifter, that's an upgrade.
I guess Isaac's
gonna get his precious
- Peggy back after all.
- What's that?
Nothing.
We'll have you there
in a few hours,
once I get the all- clear.
Until then, please, relax.
You must be hungry.
Uh, Nim!
Prepare some food for Queen...
Excuse me, Elida.
Nims on it.
So, who do I have
to behead around here
to get a beer?
Again, Eldaya.
I don't want to, I'm tired.
You've got this.
Ow, Hath!
- I taught you better than this.
- I wish you were
still surrounded by the comforts
and luxuries of your childhood,
but that is not
the life you lead now.
Why cant we just,
I dunno, disappear?
Go somewhere where
the Republic cant find us?
You'll never be safe from them.
The foreseeable future
will be a battle
for you, my love.
And we must
prepare you for that.
Good.
Your training is paying off.
Its because I don't get
to do anything else.
Normal teenagers
have friends, Ma.
Normal teenagers
are not queens.
With friendship comes trust...
and that is something you can
never afford to give, my love.
Rest up.
You have target practice
in the morning.
Mm, this is actually...
pretty good.
Oh, thank you.
Family recipe.
Mm, you're Tuk, right?
- Yeah.
- So, howd you end up
in the corner of
the galaxy with these w...
Loyalists?
Nim does not like what
the Republic did.
Not one bit.
Would like them
to give your home back.
Not sure I really want it back.
We've secured the ship.
Well be able to move soon.
Mm, copy that, Denny- boy.
What?
Helping a fugitive escape,
that's a serious offence
little lady.
- Where is she?
- Oh, my crackers,
do you have any idea
how dangerous it is
unplugging a grinder from
the mains while its being used?
- Wrong answer.
- Wait, um...
No, no, no, no, no,
those are alphabetized...
Now that you've
successfully mixed up
my eight- inch needle- nose pliers
with my ten- inch groove joints,
are you satisfied
that shes not here?
We haven't checked everywhere.
What? Oh, really?
Cool. Okay, yeah.
And you are?
Uh, just a customer.
- - Carry on.
- - Oh well.
Looks like were
just gonna have to
take him for questioning.
Really? Come on.
Wheres my ship?
The Winnipeg?
Big, old, beautiful.
Oh, crap.
This wasn't a part of the plan.
-
-
Im Isaac, by the way,
old friend of Elidas.
Dont suppose you
know where she is?
Were completely off the grid.
A launch
won't set off any alarms.
- Where are we going?
- Our base camp.
A few hops away.
Im sorry my Queen,
I cant tell you more.
Not here.
But, oh my...
are people gonna be
so excited to see you!
Great.
Greetings Xija!
The Republic thanks you
for your patience.
While the search
for the fugitive continues,
please be advised
that any and all
monarchy sympathizers...
shall receive
severe punishment...
Chaz...
Your assistance in this matter
is greatly appreciated.
Huh, that is
a good move, Lazaro.
Goin after the one person on
this station Elida would save:
her bartender, right?
That... that's my brother.
Sorry.
Your majesty, we must leave now.
There is no time for this.
- I c3ant leave Chaz like this.
- My queen, he seems like
a lovely bartender,
but we must go.
Theres only
a small chance that...
Just go without me!
You heard what he said,
hell kill any monarchy
sympathizers. Just go.
That's very noble of you,
courageous. I love that!
It... Its just that
the entire colony needs you more
- than this one man.
- Im so sorry...
You are the last
of a royal bloodline.
We cannot let
the monarchy die out.
Woah, woah, woah, hold on.
You go running off like this,
you're gonna ruin my plan.
It is fine,
they're just using
your brother as bait
to get to Elida.
Just being used
as bait? Uh, why?
Look, no offence, but we really
don't have time for this.
Listen here,
I know every nook and cranny
on this station and theres
no way Im letting these
Republic goons
get away with this so,
- maybe Ill help you out, hm?
- Okay.
Why is my brother being used
to capture a scavenger?
- Heres the thing...
-
That scavenger is actually
the Queen of Arriopa.
Well, she was before the revolt.
Yeah, shes been on the run
from the Republic since
- she was a little kid.
- Hm. Queen? Wow, okay.
Elida is a lot of things.
Im... Im far too much
of a gentleman to mention,
but shes loyal
and they know that shes
gonna go after your brother.
Okay. Well, we need a plan.
Yeah, thatll just
come to me in a moment.
You take the bigger one.
Won't be a perfect fit,
but you can slouch.
I like where your heads at.
Ow.
Mmph.
You... you hit me.
You hit a queen.
It sounds terrible
when you describe it that way.
How else would you describe it?
Im so sorry,
Your Highness.
There was a small hiccup
in our plans.
We can leave soon.
Im not going anywhere
with you creeps.
I think you'll make
a magnificent queen.
You were so young before.
You sound like a broken record.
Look, I do not want to be
your queen, okay? So, just...
- just let me go.
-
You could produce an heir.
You're the last
of a royal bloodline.
Do you not hear the crazy?
Okay, alright. Ihred, right?
That's your name.
- - I should tell you something.
- -
Yeah. Come, come.
Little bit closer.
You learn a thing or two
in the scav business
- Oh?
-
Sleep tight, my loyal subject.
You're making this
very difficult.
Ooh...
Uh, Your Highness,
Nim believes
supporting the throne
is supporting
the Queens decisions.
Well, even if that decision is
not to be Queen.
- Thank you.
- We get Chaz now.
Wait, wait, this is pretty much
a suicide mission from here,
- so we should split ways.
- You need Nim.
Cmon!
Alright,
its just the two of them.
- - Nims got this.
- - Okay,
lets go over the plan.
Nim, Nim!
Hello officers.
- - Move along.
- - Wait.
How might
Nim apply to become...
an Admiralty officer?
Whatre you? Three feet?
Actually,
come to think of it, shrimp,
you could fit easily into
the sewerage pipes.
- Huh?
- Give 'em a good cleaning.
- Ooh.
- Move on.
Hey, Nim could be an asset:
Im small, nimble,
good for sneaking...
What do ya say?
Hey!
Hold still,
shrimp won't stop moving.
- You shot me, Neil!
- Sorry!
Hey!
- What was that?
- What?
You totally went off book.
Nim is a black belt in improv.
- Mmkay.
-
No, please.
I won't say anything.
Ah, see, heres the thing...
we need you to do just that.
Sir,
live podcast from sector 4B.
Commander,
we've detained a fugitive.
Oh, my...
Reunited at last.
- Bring her here.
- Um, help required
bringing her in, sir.
She said theres
a large loyalist colony
on the station
and they're heading this way.
Shes a dirty liar,
officer.
Thought so too, sir,
but looks like theres
a hidden ship below her.
Move out!
You think that
they would design
these uniforms differently,
you know? Like, if you're gonna
have all your officers
in the same uniform,
maybe don't make it
so easy to infiltrate.
This thing stinks.
They should really use sanitizer
between every use.
Oh, god.
You got this, Amae.
You're an officer.
You got top marks at...
officing school.
You ready?
Yeah! Lets go!
We need to
transfer the prisoner.
- - Why?
- - 'Cause...
Because he's wanted for more
- - questioning on the fugitive.
- - Fugitive
was just found.
Bringing her in now.
Is she uh...
fugitive alive?
Dunno. So again,
why do you need this prisoner?
Uh, um...
Sold me
some bad Kromuline dust.
Stuff was weak as shit.
Would like to uh, teach him
a lesson. Catch my drift?
Move.
I win
best sibling award this year.
-
-
You.
You played a part
in this trickery.
No sir, she...
she had help.
They made me make the call...
The simple answer is, yes.
What do they say, um, before
such a great performance? Its...
Break a leg.
I know, Im a little late
on the sentiment.
Agh!
Find her.
You and Chaz should hide.
They're gonna be taking Elida
to the Republic shuttle.
And, I have to go.
Hey, uh...
where you taking that prisoner?
Our commands are on
a need- to- know basis.
Uh, where ya going
with that one?
Uh, same, uh,
need- to- know basis, thingy.
Go, Republic...
Go, Republic.
Okay, playtimes over.
The prisoner. Now.
What's this about?
Hey, that's not even
a real prisoner.
No shit, asshat.
Elida?
What the hell? Isaac?
- Whatre you doin here?
- Were trying to save you!
I know you're a mechanic
and all, but theres really
- no fixin this piece of crap.
- Ah? I see you been workin'
- on your one- liners.
- Yeah,
he's a total nincompoop but,
he helped me out
when some Admiralty goons
- came knocking for you.
- Nim is confused.
We all had the same idea.
I swear,
I saw this in a movie once.
I mean, they really gotta
reconsider these uniforms;
this is just way too easy.
Hey!
They're over here!
-
-
Run! Run!
There you go.
Wow, shes not as cool
as I thought shed be.
- Disappointing.
- We failed.
We must find her.
Dengar, Ihred!
The Admiralty are on this level.
We must leave now!
He's wounded!
Well find her.
Im taking my ship back and
getting the hell outta here.
Look, I didn't get to fix
the new regulator in,
so you start that thing up now
and your diffusers
- gonna blow the distribution.
- Hey,
vernacular we understand, Amae.
Ships not going anywhere.
- Dammit.
- Unless...
I like where this is going.
I can manually distribute the
power to shut off the thruster.
- Really sis, help us out.
- I can do it.
I just need to be
on the ship when you take off.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Its too dangerous
for you to come. I cant have
more blood on my hands.
Let's just get out of here.
Well drop her off
- at the nearest planet.
- Mm- hm.
Who said you were
coming with me?
Oh, listen. Please.
Nim thinks you should
save the chit- chat
for a bit later.
We have bigger problems.
They started a war
stepping on Xija property.
Theres not one outlaw
or mafioso who will
let them get away with it.
Ill give you cover
from the platform above,
take out as many
of these goons as I can.
You call me the second
you land somewhere safe.
- Ill come get you.
- See you soon, bro.
Uh, Nim believes saving Elida
gets him a free ride outta here.
Oh yeah, you're good.
You, not so much.
Goodbye Isaac.
- Elida, please, we need to talk.
- Or what?
- What, you'll shoot me again?
- Woah. What's that now?
Yeah.
It is not how it sounds.
Okay, its exactly how
it sounds.
But, this is not about my ship.
Its your mother.
Shes alive.
I made a mistake
selling you out.
But, it led me to this.
Is that my mothers?
How...?
Who gave this to you?
No. I promise
I will tell you everything
and help you get to her.
I just want Peggy back.
My ship, for your mother. Deal?
Lets go.
What the hell, commander?
My station is a mess.
When I speak
to the council of Admirals,
you'll be demoted so fast
you won't have time to...
-
-
I will destroy...
more than
your damn station
if this vermin isnt found.
Nows as good a time as ever.
Show off.
Oh!
You okay?
Oh, now you worry
about me being shot?
Nim make boom!
He can stay.
Nim! Lets go!
Cmon, cmon.
Ill get to
the engine room.
- Nim! Cmon!
- Cmon.
Dah!
- Nim!
- Leave him, El.
Oh...
Good boy.
Look at this.
Queen Eldaya Al- Feyr,
responsible for yet another
innocent life.
Let him go.
Of course.
You know the trade.
No.
No!
There are still those
who believe in you.
It was Nims honour.
Yeah, that's a beautiful
sentiment but really, I...
Long live Elida!
No!
- El, I dont...
- Sit down.
Amae, ready?
- Ready!
-
Update.
The Loyalists escaped, sir.
The people of Xija
have grown restless
- - and are starting to fight back.
- -
We don't have enough officers
to hold down the station.
Well, it appears
we've overstayed our welcome.
Prepare the shuttle.
Should I call
the Admiral, sir?
- - Oof!
- -
Anyone else? Any smart ideas?
Ugh.
What has she done to you?
Im so sorry about Nim.
Didnt really know him.
Cant afford to know anybody.
Well, that's not fair.
Thank you. For all of your help,
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Station Emthree is not too far,
we can get you to safety soon.
So, um...
I noticed a couple names
back there.
Is it Elida, or Eldaya?
Eldaya was my royal name.
I changed it to stay hidden.
-
-
No, no, that is
a great undercover name.
That is completely stealth.
Where are we going, Isaac?
Republic space.
I could guess that much,
its not a small area. Where?
Last time I saw you,
you left me stranded
on a remote planet. Im keeping
whatever cards I have left
close to my chest for now.
You're an asshole.
No, Im a lawyer
and a good one.
- That wasn't me.
-
No, we've lost
the back- up piston.
The Weeniepacks not gonna
make it to the next station.
Its Winnipeg.
Win- ni- peg. Winnipeg!
How can nobody get that right?
We have to land
before I can fix it.
Ill find the nearest planet.
Oh! Hang on tight!
