When we last left our four heroes, they were floating in space. Episode 2 picks up less than 10 seconds later, as they are scooped up, two by two, by a pair of competing ships manned by Epzo (Shaun Dooley) and Angstrom (Susan Lynch), respectively. Both mistook the people floating in space as bonus captures as part of the game they are in, The Last Rally of the 12 Galaxies, being run by Ilin (Art Malik). This planet, Desolation, is the last stage for both of them after 219 stages and 84 planets. They are the only players left out of 4,000. The winner receives 3.2 trillion crim, which no one bothers to translate into dollars or pounds sterling.
