Plot
At the New Republic Headquarters, Felix approaches a depressed Kimball, who mourns over the “loss” of the Reds and Blues near the lake. Felix deceives her by stating that the four captains managed to rescue their friends and wanted to end the war, and encourages her to tell the other rebels about the news, in order to inspire them to fight back. Felix then tells Kimball that the Feds are gathering at Chorus’ capital, Armonia, and persuades her to launch an attack on them; one final push to end the war. Initially reluctant, Kimball agrees to the plan and thanks Felix for all of his help.

Meanwhile, at the Forest Base, Carolina prepares the Blood Gulch Crew for their mission: the Red Team will search Crash Site Bravo for the manifest, while Carolina and the Blue Team search Crash Site Alpha for other clues. With Dr. Grey staying behind, the two teams begin their mission. At Crash Site Alpha, Carolina and the Blues quickly discover a large, levitating pillar. Meanwhile, at Crash Site Bravo, Grif and Simmons reminisce about their time with the rebels, as Sarge and Donut gather info from the manifest.

Back at Crash Site Alpha, the Blues become concerned upon seeing a large alien ship that has also seemingly crash landed in the area. After Carolina gathers everyone near the second half of the ship’s manifest, Epsilon quickly begins transferring data. Suddenly, several space pirates teleport to the group’s location and begin attacking them, forcing the group to defend Epsilon while he continues the transfer. As the pirates close in on them, Tucker hectically removes the drive, ending the transfer short and forcing the group to flee.

As both teams return to the forest, with the Reds successfully obtaining the manifest, Epsilon and Tucker argue over the event at Crash Site Alpha. All of a sudden, a space pirate, having been teleported back with Carolina and the Blues, nearly assassinates Caboose, but is intercepted by Carolina, who re-injures her leg in the process of saving Caboose. As Dr. Grey comes to Carolina’s aid, the group restrains the mercenary, all while Tucker watches on.
