Episode 7: “We’re Gonna Be In So Much Trouble”

Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel’s (Robert Timothy Smith) parents execute their plan to send a message beyond At Attin’s Barrier in the hopes of helping their children return safely home.

The kids continue their journey home, unaware that Jod and the pirate crew are also descending on the planet. Jod, realizing the Onyx Cinder is the key to getting through the Barrier, persuades Brutus to capture the ship. As the kids try to prevent the pirates from boarding, Jod takes advantage of the moment to shoot Brutus, take back his command, and take the kids hostage.

Jod intercepts the parents’ message, but the sight of their families galvanizes the kids to take action. With the help of SM-33 (Nick Frost), Fern reclaims command of the Onyx Cinder and the kids make a daring break for home. But their excitement at getting safely through the Barrier is interrupted by Jod, who stowed away before the ship took off. Using the lightsaber from Rennod’s lair, Jod decapitates SM-33 and subdues the kids, threatening to go after their families if they don’t follow his lead.

At long last, the Onyx Cinder safely descends on At Attin. Jod, posing as a Republic Emissary, is escorted to the Mint – where he finds more credits than he could spend in a lifetime. The kids are reunited with their parents, but can’t risk telling them the truth. Though our heroes finally made it home, with their families and their planet under threat from Jod and his crew, they now face their biggest challenge yet…
