- Summary
- With Moya exposed and the dead ship's defenses inoperative, the crew must improvise a way to survive a coming attack.
- What happens in "PK Tech Girl"?
- The episode opens with Moya's crew spotting a derelict Peacekeeper vessel and debating whether it is truly dead in space. According to YouTube automatic captions, the pilot cautions the others to stay starboard and high, noting that most of the vacuum damage was sustained from an attack below. Once on board, Aeryn confirms that breathable air remains beyond the connection hatch. Rygel, unsettled, recalls that the ship, the Zelbinion, was the first vessel on which he was tortured after being ripped from his throne more than 130 Cycles earlier.
- Deeper inside, Aeryn identifies a single survivor as a tech from Crais's ship. YouTube automatic captions record that the survivor explains that Crais sent her unit to the Zelbinion for a full tech survey, and that a separate ship attacked roughly two days after they arrived. She adds that the attackers incinerated those aboard a mor transport and left damage visible throughout the hull. She also notes that her unit was demoted following her defection, and that reinstatement would only follow her death.
- The crew determines that the defense shield, though not operational, is the least damaged system on the ship. YouTube automatic captions state that the survivor estimates that bringing the shield back online will require at least eight arns and a sequence of bridged connections. When that other ship, crewed by Sheyang, arrives, D'Argo's display of strength persuades the newcomers to power down their weapons, buying time. According to YouTube automatic captions, Zhaan is then asked to mislead a Sheyang leader over comms so that the bluff of strength holds.
