summary: Another episode which begins with Faye. This time she's stranded
without gas, stuck in Jupiter's orbit. While there, she discovers a nearly-destroyed
space craft and a dying pilot, who charges her to bring the case he was carrying
to the ISSP. He also warns her not to open it. Meanwhile, Spike and Jet are going
after yet another bounty, only to have him killed by eco-terrorists, "The Space
Warriors." Lucky (seemingly) for them, the head (Twinkle Murdoch) of The Space
Warriors has a much larger bounty than the one they were hunting. Unluckily, Twinkle
Murdoch has a few tricks up her sleeve. In a twist of fate, Spike and Jet run
into the stranded Faye. This episode is mostly comedic, but it includes a suspenseful-yet-fun
scene which takes place in the hyperspace gate. Also, Spike and Faye team up for
the first time. All around, a good episode, but we're still in exposition territory.
