## Plot

Preck survives the spaceship crash and replaces his damaged suit with a nearby body's. He exits the room only to fall through by the doors. The part of the ship he was in, landed where its doors are exactly on the edge of the cliff. He's found by another survivor who was trying to talk to him to see if he was alive. The other survivor mistakes him as the captain for the suit he's wearing. Preck corrects him which leads to the other accusing him for murdering the captain. The survivor punches Preck that sends him flying.

Before the survivor kills him for impersonating and killing a captain, Preck quickly lies that it was all a test and the survivor buys it. He introduces himself as Private Anthony Ness when Preck asks for his name. Preck then orders Ness to run around the giant rock to see if there's a way up to get to the ship on top, and makes a run for it in the opposite direction once Ness was far enough.

Ness comes across an escape pod with a body in it and meets AI called RBIN, also Robin. She tells Ness to plug her into his suit as to assist him in surviving the planet. Ness excitedly goes back to Preck about his finding meanwhile the other was still running away. Preck stops for a break, and while inner monologuing about his predicament, he passes out. He wakes up for the third time, in a cave with Ness at the entrance. They spook each other. After spooking each other, Ness reveals that he found Preck with the help of Robin. She then reveals it was because of the tracker in the captain's suit. She could also send a distress signal but only if a different ship was close enough to receive it. Then came the plan to reach the crashed ship and Robin's mainframe.

> [Preck is lying face down on the ground.]**Preck**(groaning)**RBIN**WARNING: Oxygen levels low. Suit breach detected.[Preck gets up.]**Preck**Oh my god, what?**RBIN**Power at critical levels. Shutdown imminent.[Emergency lights fade to black.]**Preck**You have got to be kidding me! Preck, you don't have time for this. You just got to hold your breath long enough to change suits. You've had plenty of practice. This should be easy..(gasps)[Suit changing noises.]**Preck**(releases breath, heavy breathing) Okay, just- Turn right- Scootch, come on-[Doors open and Preck runs through.]**Preck**Woah- (screaming)[Cut to black as Preck hits the ground.][Muffled knocking.]**Ness**Hello? Hello?[Preck opens his eyes to someone with an orange helmet.]**Ness**Can you hear me? Is this loud enough for you to hear me? (starts yelling) Speak if this is loud enough! Would this volume be better?! I am getting as loud as I can! Are you deaf?! I don't know sign language! No hablo sign-o language-o![Preck finally gets up.]**Preck**If I was deaf, I still wouldn't understand Spanish.**Ness**(small gasp) You're alive!**Preck**You thought I was dead?**Ness**Yep!**Preck**What? Then why were you screaming at me?**Ness**To see if you're dead.**Preck**But, I wouldn't have responded if I was dead.**Ness**Right!**Preck**So you would have kept on screaming.**Ness**Yes, sir!**Preck**Right...[Preck takes a bit of a look around.]**Preck**Where are we?**Ness**We're on a planet, sir!**Preck**You're gonna have to be a little more specific..?**Ness**Uhm.. Oh! We're on a desert planet, sir!**Preck**You're being smart with me, aren't you?**Ness** *(sheepish)*Uhm.. Trying to? Sir.**Preck** *(annoyed)*You.. Are you stupid? Do I have to explain this simpler for you? And why do you keep calling me 'sir'?**Ness** *(nervous)*I don't know. It's what I'm supposed to do?**Preck**Okay, sorry, sorry. I'm just a little stressed out right now, and I'm not used to people calling me 'sir'.**Ness**Oh, I thought all captains like to be called 'sir'.**Preck**What? You- (small chuckle) You think I'm the captain?**Ness**You are wearing the captain's uniform.**Preck**Oh, no, no, no, okay. I'm, I'm not the captain, and that guy is, uh, that guy's dead. Just kind of took a suit because there was an issue going on-**Ness** *(alarmed)*You killed the captain?!**Preck**Whoa! Wait! No, it's not- Ok, I think there's been a bit of a misun-[Ness punches Preck, flinging him into the air.]**Preck**woAH![As he soar through, yelling, he collides and destroys with a cactus.]**Preck**Oof![Preck continues yelling until he crashes hard enough to create a small crater in the ground.][Ness approaches the crater.]**Preck** *(weak)*(coughing) Wait, let's, let's just talk about this for a moment. There's no need to get feisty.[Ness pulls out a gun and aims it at Preck.]**Ness**Pretending to be a captain is a universal crime punishable by death. Killing a captain is too, and you did both. So.. I think I have to kill you.. Twice for that?[Preck immediately gets up and clears his throat.]**Preck**(fake captain voice) Good job, Soldier! You've passed with flying colors![Ness puts down his gun.]**Ness**Wait, this was a test?**Preck**Yes. That's, that's exactly what it was. I had to make sure you were loyal and would follow procedure even in dire circumstances like these.**Ness**Oh, I think that makes sense.**Preck**Yes, of course it makes sense. I am the captain after all. What is your name,
> soldier?**Ness**Private Anthony Ness, sir.**Preck**Nice to meet you, Ness. I'm Captain Preck.**Ness**Captain Prick?**Preck** *(annoyed)*(sigh) It's Preck.**Ness**Oh, sorry. Captain Preck?**Preck** *(still annoyed)*What is it?**Ness**What are we supposed to do now?**Preck**Oh, yeah... Well, uh, I guess we should probably try to find a way back to the ship. Uh, why don't you.. (mumbles) Oh, yeah.[Preck points to a giant rock.]**Preck**Why don't you run around this giant rock to see if there's a way up? Or something?**Ness**Wouldn't it be safer if we went together?**Preck**Are you questioning your captain's judgment?**Ness**No, sir.**Preck**Well, then I guess you better start running.[Ness runs in the direction Preck pointed at.]**Preck**It'll take him hours to run all the way around that. Good riddance. Now that he's gone, I can finally..[Preck runs in the opposite direction.][Cuts to Ness coming across an escape pod.]**Ness**(humming) Hm?[He peeks inside the window.]**Ness**Hello? Ooh, someone's in there![Ness opens the door.]**Ness**Woop. Nevermind, he's dead.[He tosses the body outside.]**RBIN**Hello, survivor. I am RBIN. A Robotic Behavior Intelligence Network. I am here to assist in your survival.**Ness**Hello! I am Ness.**RBIN**Hello, Ness. In order to fully benefit from my assistance, please install me into your suit's operating system.**Ness**Okay! Uhm, how do I do that?**RBIN**There is a chip located in a small panel outside the pod.**Ness**A chip..? Wait, do I eat it? (gasp) Do I gain your skills after eating you?**RBIN**Take the chip and plug it into your suit. I will handle the rest.**Ness**Ohhh. Okay.[Ness takes the chip and inserts it somewhere in his helmet.]**Ness**This is great. Captain Preck will be so happy that I found a new survivor.[Ness leaves and walks away from the pod.]**RBIN**I am not a survivor.**Ness**Oh. Wait, are you dead?**RBIN**I am not dead, but I am also not a survivor.**Ness**Uhm, I don't, I don't think I understand but that's probably fine.**RBIN**I believe it is.**Ness**Good. Hey, what was your name again?**RBIN**I do not have a name.[Cut to the corpse being dragged away.]**RBIN**But I am often referred to as "Robin".[Cut to an wide area littered with rocks and Preck still running.]**Preck**(internally) Captain. Really? I couldn't come up with a better lie than that?! How am I gonna pull this off? He was gonna kill me because I'm wearing the captain's suit?! It's just a stupid suit! It doesn't mean I was trying to impersonate a captain! I just needed to survive. And he just lost his cool and punched me like, what was it, 50 feet?! What kind of person can do that?[Preck stops running.]**Preck**(panting) Okay, need to take a break... How is that guy so freakishly strong? Okay, think, Preck. Think.. First.. First, I need to find a place to camp out. I'll stay there for a few days, and maybe I'll get lucky and that idiot Ness will go looking for me and get lost along the way. And I can go back and, try and find a way to get on that ship.[Preck shakes his head.]**Preck**No, it's no good. If he gets lost, he'll probably die and I'll have that on my conscience. But if I help him, he finds out I lied about not actually being the captain.. Well, he'll probably try to kill me again. Why is this happening to me? I just wish, that things can go my way every once in a while. I just- I, I need to-[Preck collapses.][Cut to Preck waking up in a cave, then fully woken up by thunder.][He sees Ness standing by the mouth of the cave, accompanied with louder thunder.][Preck screams, immediately getting on his feet. Ness also screams after.]**Preck**Ness?!**Ness**Yes, sir!**Preck**Where are we? How did I get here?**Ness**Oh, I found you laying on the hot ground. And I thought it'd be better to bring you in the cave.**Preck**What? Wait. How did you find me?**Ness**Robin helped me! Say hello to Captain Prick, Robin.**RBIN**Hello, Captain Prick.**Preck**It's Preck..**RBIN**I am RBIN. A Robotic Behavior Intelligence Network. I assisted Ness in tracking you down with the tracker installed in your suit.**Preck**Why is there a tracker in my suit?**RBIN**In case of a catastrophic event, the captain's suit has a tracker installed so as to easily locate you. After all, you, the captain, are the most valuable asset on the command.**Preck**Right. Yes, the captain. Ness, how did you find RBIN?**Ness**Uhm, sir? Her name is Robin.**Preck**Okay, Ness, it's an AI called RBIN. It even said so itself. And stop calling me 'sir'.**Ness**But that's what I'm supposed to do.**Preck**Okay, how about this? I will start calling it "Robin" if you stop calling me 'sir'.**Ness**Yes, sir- I mean, okay, Preck.**Preck**Alright. Good job, Ness. Now, I need you to tell me how did you find Robin.**Ness**Well, when I was running around the cliff, I found this escape pod and Robin was inside waiting for me. I saved her.**Preck**Yeah, yeah, that's great. Robin.**Robin**Yes, Captain Preck?**Preck**What's your purpose?**Robin**I assist in local matters like monitoring the status of your suit systems, I can also track down the other escape pods.**Preck**Wait. Could you send a distress signal to get his help?**Robin**Affirmative.**Preck**Yes, I can finally get off this godforsaken planet!**Robin**I should say, that it's a very limited reach and a ship would have to be flying by the outer atmosphere to receive it. If you would like to have more features such as an improved signal radius, I would need to connect to the ship's mainframe to access my full capabilities.**Preck**You can do that, right?**Robin**Yes.**Preck** *(estatic)*Ness, it looks like we might just be able to get off this planet!**Ness**But we just got here.**Preck**(sigh) Let's just go.

## Trivia

* In the scene where Preck was running while before resting to have a monologue, the clip is flipped as Preck's shoulder bot is on his right rather than his left.
* This episode could technically count as the first appearances of Jethro and Koroll as corpses. And Tom although unseen. It's implied he was the one dragging away Jethro's body as he pilfers armor from corpses in shipwrecks.
