[Zero] Previously on Prisoner Zero...

Every time they try and mess us up, we get messed up.

[Del] What's happening?

[Guardian] We appear to have lost control of the Rogue.

[Zero] One day I'd like to meet someone

who doesn't know more about this ship that we do.

Ah!

[Zero groans]

Ah...

Hey, Gem. You good?

[screaming]

-[ship rumbles] -[all exclaim]

I can't get a clear shot.

Can't we just fly away, like, now?

No. That pink beam thing knocked out the engines.

All we've got left are directional thrusters and weaponry.

We're never going to get a shot in if we can't even see it.

Gem, no!

[exhales]

-[Gem grunts] -[Del grunting]

[laser fires]

[all exclaim]

[chirrups]

[Tag and Zero exclaim]

What is this thing?

A Tardigrade.

[groans]

[Zero] It's fantastic!

[Del] Can someone please shoot it?

And now the weapons are offline.

[chirrups]

How did we get into this?

Oh, yeah. Zero wanted to investigate

why ships were disappearing in the Okeen Quadrant.

Now we know why.

Yes, we do.

[Tag] Come on!

There's got to be something on this stupid "ancient, powerful" ship

that can deal with this kind of space monster grossness!

It's probably worth mentioning

the original alien technology aboard the Rogue

is far more advanced than anything the Imperium ever installed.

Of course, I have no idea how it works.

Oh, yeah, that was so worth mentioning. Thanks.

[ship creaking]

Excellent. I'm in the weird alien pod. Good.

[Zero] No. No, no, no, no!

[all screaming]

[screaming]

[chirrups]

[burps]

[Gem] It's coming back.

Tag, do the thing.

I can't. I don't know what I did.

Oh! Everything's working again.

All systems 100%!

[Zero] Of course. Guardian, get us out of here.

[chirrups]

[Del] Let's not do that again.

[Librarian] We were lucky.

That was only a baby Tardigrade.

Adults can actually grow quite large.

If its mother had been near...

Oh, this might have been a different story.

It was separated from its mum?

We should help it find its mum.

-Decision made. -What?

No way! That's enough.

We've got to stop going on stupid missions.

I mean, it's ridiculous how often I nearly get eaten.

It's group promise time. [sighs]

For the next 24 hours we do nothing.

No more field trips.

We see a space battle, we turn around.

We hear about a planet of leech monsters,

we say, "No, thank you, leech monsters, we're all good."

Now we're all grounded. Deal?

Okay, I'm taking your silence as you all agreeing to the deal.

Nothing eventful is going to happen.

Group promise over. I am out.

[Zero] A decade ago, the Imperium created the Bioweave,

a digital nightmare they wired into our brains.

They locked me away, stole my memories, left me with nothing.

Then one day, I was rescued and taken aboard the Rogue.

Now, my friends and I are going to shut down the Bioweave

and free humanity.

Because I am Prisoner Zero.

[theme music playing]

[beeps]

Zero, relax.

Take a break. Everything will be fine.

It's just one day.

Well, if nothing's happening, I don't really need the armor.

There. Relax.

Nothing bad is going to happen.

[grunts]

[gasps]

Oh, this is amazing!

[sighs]

See, when we don't go sticking our noses where they don't belong,

space can be really peaceful.

Aldis, Tucker, Hugo,

are you ready to be rich?

[chittering]

Hmm. Yep.

Do it.

Good. Okay.

You got a problem, tough guy?

Freeze image.

Hmm. Needs something.

[squeaking]

[laughs] Yeah.

Unfreeze image.

[thud]

[in deep voice] Let's shut them down.

[laughs] Lights out.

Right. Cool.

Okay, this is okay.

Not going to regret this in any way.

Not a life changer.

Nothing bad will happen.

[powering down]

[sighs] Wonderful.

Why, yes, my mustache is very handsome, thank you for noticing.

My mustache!

Wait.

What's going on?

[powering down]

[crashes]

Great. The one time I take off my suit.

[powering down]

I am not engaging.

If even one person blames me for this, I'm going to flip.

[powering down]

[electrical buzzing]

Everyone knows what they've got to do.

Let's just not disappoint Captain.

Hello?

Hello?

[thumping]

[exclaims]

-[glass shatters] -Huh?

Get me out of here! Right now!

Right, what do we do now?

Now we run the play.

Oh! I'm going to thump you, Del Rev.

[mimics Del] "Let's do nothing for 24 hours."

-Now no-one can see my hair. -[Tag] Hey, Gem!

Tag! Hey. Okay. Power outage.

Where's Zero and Del and Guardian?

No idea. Can't get any of them on comms.

Also, Librarian, no idea.

And that's the end of the 'things I know' list.

What do you think?

I think we should go find Del and thump him for grounding us.

All of his ideas are real stupid.

[buzzing]

-What in the-- -We got your friend Zero.

He's in a box.

You what?

He's in a... Well, I guess that's me engaged, then.

[whispering] Zero? Come in! Del?

[Tag whispers] Why are you whispering?

I don't know. Because it's dark, I guess.

[louder] Del, Zero, come in.

Oh!

Are you telling me you honestly, actually don't see any difference at all?

What? Where?

[buzzing]

Yoo-hoo!

♪ We've got Zero in a box ♪

You better not try and stop us. [laughing]

They've got Zero. Come on.

[Tucker] Okay, set him up.

Ah! What is going on?

All right. The ship has no power, we can't contact anyone else,

and three strangers are teleporting around the ship

saying they've kidnapped Zero.

Also, that woman had a really deep voice.

That's hardly the point.

Well, let's not argue about it. Let's find Zero.

Tag Anaton!

[Gem gasps]

Hello, little thing. What are you doing here?

Put your hands up, now!

Wow! No need to point those at me.

[buzzing]

Uh, Librarian--

There'll be time for explanations later. Quickly now.

We need to be moving on.

[sighs]

Who are you?

My name is Frankie Sammut.

Uh, please don't shoot me. Or Cally.

-Cally? -It's okay.

It's fine, no one's hurt.

You're not hurt, are you, Cally?

-[chittering] -No, you're good, you're--

Listen, you better start talking right now or--

All right.

Okay, cards on the table.

I am a corsair, which is another word for pirate,

'cept it's, like, a little bit fancier.

And it's a pleasure to meet you.

What are you doing on Rogue?

Ah, yeah, that.

Oh, I'm glad you asked.

Well, okay, and this is the heart of the whole matter, I suppose.

I've come here to meet with you, Gem, and with you, Tag,

in hopes that we can sort of work together

to avoid a potential calamity.

-What do you mean by that? -Oh, right, yeah.

"Calamity" is a word which means, like, a bad thing.

I know what calamity means. I'm saying--

Well, yeah, you know, it sounded like maybe you didn't know.

But that's okay, isn't it? 'Cause now you do.

[snarls]

How did you know our names?

'Cause I do my homework.

All right, let's go.

No, no. Hold up. What is going on?

This guy's crazy,

his friends have got Zero,

and we're standing around in the dark talking to him.

[laughs] Ah, yeah, right. I haven't explained that bit yet.

Well, yeah, that's me apologizing, then, innit? Okay.

I so want to gag him.

So, the other corsairs, they're led by...

Well, we all just call him Captain,

but he is truly the most terrifying man I've ever met.

Anyway, Captain found this map

that leads to something called the Logan Box,

here aboard this ship.

You have a treasure map to the Rogue?

Well, yeah.

Captain sent us to steal the Logan Box.

Except, and this is where my meeting the two of you comes in,

I am of the opinion

that if Captain got the box, then that would be fairly bad.

Like, for the cosmos.

I still want to gag him.

What has the Logan Box got to do with kidnapping Zero?

If I was to hazard a guess,

I'd say that they're not here for anything as simple as a kidnap.

Then what?

I'd imagine they're here in search of the technology

that powers the ship,

the heart of the ship,

the Logan Box.

What? No, this ship runs on plasma-neutron fuel,

like everything else in the Imperium.

Ooh, the Imperium's little additions do,

but the true power of the Rogue, the ancient power,

is all drawn from the Logan Box.

[Del] And what is the Logan Box?

I don't know.

But I do know that it is not something we want

slipping into these rascals' hands.

[Aldis] Okay, Tucker, so, this ship is like a billion zillion years old,

but we still want the battery that it runs on?

Well, yeah, it's a bit different, though,

when the battery is a magical item

from before the universe was formed, isn't it?

Oh, right. So why do we want it?

Aldis, do you even listen to me when I speak?

Honestly? Only sometimes.

Okay, so the Captain's kidnapped Zero so Zero will give him a box.

There's two major flaws there.

One, Zero, far as I know, doesn't know anything about boxes, and...

Two, he wouldn't help a guy called "the Captain"

if he had just been kidnapped by him.

It's, it's actually not "The Captain", it's just "Captain".

Whatever.

Are you not seeing the big flashing sign saying "This is a stupid plan"?

It doesn't matter.

Captain'll have already got the whole thing figured out.

We have to just get to the Logan Box first.

But we don't even know where it is.

Ah, but I do.

Before I left our ship, I swiped this from Captain's chambers.

[Tag] "To the true master of the ship, the power will be released."

That's why they need Zero, the master of the ship.

What? As if. This is my ship.

Oh, wow. This leads to the bridge.

But I've never seen a magic box on the bridge.

Well, it'd be in the bridge.

It's meant to be the power source for all the old stuff.

Why does everyone know more about our ship than we do?

I thought it was her ship.

So, what, this Logan Box is like some magical back-up generator?

I guess that would make sense.

I used that weapon thing this morning when everything else was powered down.

All that blue energy!

Tag did something to the alien pods, powered them up,

then the whole bridge went crazy with blue energy and--

That's it!

Right, let's go!

Gem, what are you doing?

I am helping the guy who's trying not to destroy the cosmos.

You know, the right thing to do?

You can't seriously be considering helping this guy.

Come on! He's a pirate!

I do actually prefer the term "corsair".

I'm saying no.

And I'm saying yes. So, we're going with yes.

What do we do?

Well, if you're all agreed, we head for the bridge.

Uh-uh. I'm not helping.

Fine. Stay here.

All we need to do is take the Logan Box before Captain does.

So, hold this map, step into the blue light

and bang, one Logan Box in your hands and not in Captain's.

Great. Agreed!

Wait, what?

[buzzing]

[sighing]

Now I've got to go save you.

Ah! Hairdo!

I knew there was something different.

Who are these corsairs?

-They are the-- -[Tag] No time for stories.

One of the corsairs has Gem, the others have Zero.

We've got to get to the bridge now.

Get ready.

[buzzing]

You're too late.

Quickly, Gem! Save Zero!

He's not the true master.

The energy will destroy him.

It's okay. I'll fight 'em off.

Gem! Do it now!

Zero!

[grunts]

[screaming]

[grunts]

[Tag] Gem!

[gasps]

Gem! No!

[Captain] It's happening!

There it is!

Deal with them.

[buzzing]

You see, Gem, I am he,

the dreaded corsair of the depths of space,

the nameless dread, Captain!

[exclaims]

Cally, no!

Take me back to the bridge now.

[Tucker laughing] And why would I do that?

[grunts]

What did you do? Where's Gem?

[growling]

-Cally! -No! What's happening to her?

Aah!

[grunting]

[Del] Little help?

Oh, no. I think you're doing marvelously.

Oh...

[grunts]

-Uh! -See? You were perfectly capable.

Let's move on.

[chittering]

Cally! Stop this right now!

That's my power! It will hurt you!

What is your problem?

Why did you lie to me?

The same reason anyone lies, to get what I wanted.

"Captain" is the worst pirate name I have ever heard!

I prefer corsair!

[groaning]

[laughs]

[groans]

We're going to go and undo whatever it is you've done to our friends.

We have to get back to the bridge.

Can you do the teleporter thing?

We've got to shut it down.

No, you can't shut it down!

It's what I've been hunting for for, like, days now!

Days? You'll get over it. Come on.

What is going on here?

You've got to help us shut it down!

-[thud] -[clattering]

Right. Thanks, guys, it's been lovely meeting you,

but please don't come and visit us again.

You were awful.

Yeah, you guys were hands down the most frustrating people ever.

Oh, and, Frankie, your mustache is lame.

Make sure he takes care of you.

You deserve better.

Let's not try stealing their stuff again.

-Deal? -Deal.

[grunts]

How do we get him out?

Gem! Your hair.

You cut your hair. Why'd you cut your hair?

I mean...it looks really nice.

No reason, just 'cause.

Can someone explain what happened to me?

I am not engaging.

Happy birthday, Mum.
