[Zero] Previously on Prisoner Zero...

Bow down, planets.

Bow down, stars.

Bow down, galaxies.

I enjoyed that taste of power.

Next time I will control it absolutely.

[Gem] There is something wrong with Del. He got upgrade.

He is with us now.

You may have escaped the Memory Glove,

but I got exactly the knowledge I was after.

A secret that links Zero to the Bioweve.

And with that knowledge comes power.

[keyboard clicking]

[buzzes]

[whirring]

[Skot] Yes!

I've finally cracked it!

[Vykar] Talking to yourself, Skot?

First sign of madness.

Vykar!

But this dreary planet is enough to drive anyone crazy!

What an unpleasant surprise.

Is that any way to greet your oldest friend?

One who needs your help?

So, you want to work with me again?

[laughing] Apologies for being imprecise.

What I meant was, "I need the help of your pre-upgrade technology"

[laser fires]

[footsteps]

[chuckles] You know me so well.

[rumbling]

[beeping]

I should have introduced you.

Skot, meet Del Rev, formerly Zero's right-hand man.

And now, since he received the upgrade, he's my right-hand man.

What do you want from me?

Oh, now that I have this?

Absolutely nothing. Bye-bye.

[rumbling]

[beeping]

[rumbling]

-What do you want me to do with this? -Oh, just leave her.

Without free will, she's hardly a threat.

And now the Memory Glove is mine, the Faculty won't be either.

[evil laughter]

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

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 Bioweve

and free humanity.

Because I am Prisoner Zero.

[theme music playing]

[whirring]

An incoming message, General, not... not on an official channel.

An untraceable sub-wave.

How very daring of someone.

General Rakshiff Vykar.

I don't believe I've had the pleasure.

Oh, no.

You're the robot aboard the Faculty's new Orabora space station,

yes?

I am Primus.

-I am an artificial... -Yes, yes.

Whatever do you want? I'm busy.

Although I'm also intrigued.

Unofficial sub-wave communications. How very underhand of you.

I'm sure the Faculty wouldn't approve.

As an ongoing part of that,

I have sub-printed within the sub-wave carrier beam

a secondary upgrade you should use upon your crew, General.

It will ensure their loyalty to you and not the Faculty.

And you foresee a need for this, do you?

I think we should all be prepared for whatever happens next.

Charming fellow.

I wonder if that upgrade really will become necessary.

And if so, why he gave it to me?

And why is he being disloyal to the Faculty?

To the Imperium?

Double talk, Del Rev.

That's why I still hate robots.

Then again, this could prove... interesting.

I am receiving reports of a rebellion by slave-workers

on a crucible moon in the Mastello system.

Primus has been alerted.

[door opens]

Where have you been?

What's it to you?

The crew are getting restless.

General, they know you've been defying the Faculty's orders.

There are whispers of mutiny.

And I don't know how much longer the nanobots I created

will protect you and Kai from the upgrade.

That's your problem.

Use your Omega Level privileges to work out something permanent.

Now, deal with it!

By the way, I do hope you uploaded

the blueprints of Zero's brain patterns to my terminal, as I... requested.

Er, well with everything going on, I didn't exactly forget, but...

Then I suggest you do it!

[groans] Why the sudden rush?

We've had these for months.

What's so important that he needs them now?

It's like he's been gathering the pieces of a puzzle,

and all we can do is wait to see how they fit together.

He's openly defying the Faculty,

which means he's on course for a total disaster,

dragging us down with him.

I don't think he'd go up against them directly,

unless he knew he had the power to win.

[alarm beeps]

Hmm. What's that?

Vykar's overridden the Spire's coordinates.

Any second now...

And there you are, right on time.

This insolence will no longer be tolerated, Vykar.

Surrender your ship, General.

If you do not obey,

then we will instruct your upgraded crew to seize control.

You think I'm worried by Commander Jocam's sheep?

I can run this craft single-handedly. I have done it before.

Turn around now, or face imminent destruction.

Hmm. I don't think so.

Now, go away. I'm going to Dosk.

That is an embargoed planet!

Well, that depends on whose rules you follow...

yours, or, mine.

Guess which I prefer?

Now if you'll excuse me...

Centurion, off!

[marching footsteps]

Cadets, the people are like sheep.

Unruly, undisciplined

and forever needing guidance and strong leadership.

Stay away from those troopers.

Don't bother them and they won't bother us.

Just keep your head down and stay out of trouble, right?

[door bangs open]

-[thunderclap] -Bad news, old man.

The tax just doubled.

Please, no, I can't pay that much. My family...

Oh, the cost to your family will be a lot higher if you don't.

[thunder rumbling]

[dings]

Let this be a lesson, kid.

This is the way the world works.

There are those who take what they want...

And those who are too weak to stop them.

Del Rev?

I know what to do, General.

Del Rev! Where are we off to now?

If you don't know,

then I guess that information is on a strictly 'need to know' basis.

And you're going to tell us Vykar doesn't think we need to know,

aren't you?

Spot on.

[crackling]

[groans]

You know that bad feeling?

It's just got 100% worse.

Dosk was the Imperium Capital of Science until...

We should never have sent Vykar there.

He has become a danger to the entire Imperium.

He must be stopped, no matter the cost.

We will send a command to all Imperium craft

in the Zwan Quadrant...

Set coordinates for the planet Dosk.

Weapons systems fully primed.

If you encounter Imperium Flagship Spire,

terminate with extreme prejudice!

Centurion, would you mind revealing our new destination?

Pretty please?

We will reach the Dosk system in zero...

-Dosk? -Dosk?

Why is that power-crazed fool taking us onto a embargoed planet?

[groans] Looks like we're not the only ones headed there.

There's an Imperium Armada ready to greet us.

Somehow I'm not anticipating cake and balloons.

That's it!

You can let that megalomaniac lead you to certain destruction,

but I'm outta here!

Uh, Kai... Wait.

We have to stay calm.

Work together and we can...

Oh, I don't know,

snatch victory from the jaws of Vykar's defeat...

Oh, dream on!

You've seen what the Faculty's thrown up against us.

I put our survival chances at less than zero...

Where are you going? Kai!

Sayonara, sucker!

Don't leave me behind.

And... she left me behind.

-Centurion! -Yes, Prime Tactician Barqel?

Upload coordinates from the Viper. I want to know where Kai is off to.

Her destination is the crucible moon of the Mastello system...

Mastello?

Isn't that the crucible moon where the slaves are...

Are rebelling?

Spot on, Barqel.

And I intend to crush it without mercy.

Get myself back in the Faculty's good books.

Just in case. Good luck with Vykar!

Kai! Come back! I can't do this alone.

[beeping]

[groans] Okay.

Fine.

Oh, get out of the way, Del. I need to speak with--

General Vykar has given me total freedom

to repel any minor irritants.

[grunting]

Hmm!

You've just given me an idea, Mister Rev...

What are you saying?

I'm saying I don't know what to do.

Luckily, I do.

Um... is this a new thing we're doing?

Letting Vykar's guys just butt in?

I need your help, Zero.

We've kind of got our hands full here, thanks.

Oh, your little rebellion.

Charming.

No, this is serious.

Vykar's been getting above himself.

His plans are... concerning.

And you're telling me this because...

Because you're the only one who's ever stopped him.

Vykar's headed to an embargoed planet.

When he gets there, he's going to do something bad.

Really...very...bad.

He's going to Dosk.

Dosk?

If Vykar's going to Dosk, so am I.

Send the coordinates!

Well, isn't that just--

How very impolite.

[thuds]

What in...

[laser firing]

[explosion]

Ugh! Fire!

[lasers firing]

[explosion]

Attack the Spire!

[firing continues]

[radar trills]

[exhales] What do I do now?

No, this is ridic--

-[grunts] -Amateur.

[beeping]

[laser firing]

[laser firing]

[explosion]

[gasps]

[firing continues]

-[explosion] -[screaming]

The Spire's Scorpion Fighters are in close proximity to the Spire.

Your manoeuvres, Del Rev, risk destroying them

as well as the Imperium armada.

Don't care.

Ramp up the engines, Centurion.

We're going to blast our way through!

What about your men?

[Del] I guess they're pretty surplus to requirements now.

[beeping]

[laser firing]

[explosions]

No!

[explosions]

Centurion, do you ever regret being aboard this ship?

Well, I do.

Listen to me, Del.

Neither of us have any idea what Vykar's getting us into on Dosk.

[chuckles]

Talk to me!

[Vykar] You really shouldn't worry about things that don't concern you.

Vykar! I remain your loyal servant.

Well, it would appear I am also your only servant...

[sighs]

Well, apart from him.

[Centurion] General Vykar!

Oh! And him.

The Spire is within jump range of Dosk.

I've always been a bit superstitious about jumping onto embargoed planets.

Oh, well, then you're in luck.

As with Kai and the others, your services are no longer required.

You can hang on here and greet the Imperium's mop-up squad.

Well, that was rude.

Time to call in the reinforcements.

[beeping]

You're not in a state to go up against Vykar!

Guys?

Can we please do something about blocking this guy from our comms?

Hello, Zero.

I thought I'd check in.

[Zero] What happened here?

[Barqel] You're entering the remains of an Imperium blockade.

Hundreds of vessels were protecting the embargoed world beyond...

Then Vykar happened.

Should we go back?

We can't.

If there's something on Dosk... if Vykar's there...

You can't leave.

I asked you to help me. We had a deal.

How about you just zip it for a minute?

I have a rule to always have something over everyone I play with.

A card up my sleeve.

What card should I play, I wonder?

How about the one

where I get to reprogram your lovely spaceship's engines

and tell them to overload,

and we all sit back and watch the pretty fireworks?

How about that card?

Ah, you'd need the key codes to the Rogue.

And your old chum Del's been rather helpful with those more than once.

And... off we go!

The self-destruct key codes of the Rogue have been activated.

I cannot override them.

What do you say?

Stop it! Stop it! We'll help!

If you don't deactivate it, I will find you.

And you will regret that.

Well...

I think I've said what I needed to say.

I'll see you on Dosk.

Au revoir.

Centurion, against my better judgment, I'm just jumping down to Dosk!

I want to make sure Zero does my dirty work for me.

See you later!

[Vykar] The devastation... it's even worse than I remembered.

[rumbling]

Joy!

I haven't missed any of the action.

The Codec Digital Flame still burns.

Everything is going exactly to plan.

Is there anything you need me to do, General...

[Barqel grunts]

Whoops.

You were right, General.

Barqel has done exactly what you said he would.

I... I... I have?

[Vykar] Yes.

I knew you wouldn't resist luring Zero here

in an attempt to weight the scales against me.

But his arrival actually makes the last piece of the puzzle

fall into place.

Soon, the full uninhibited power of the Bioweve shall be mine to command.

And mine alone!

The power I have always known was rightfully mine.

The Codec Digital Flame is weak, but not extinguished.

And with Zero's brain patterns uploaded into its circuitry,

it will soon burn bright again.

[electricity crackling]

[electricity crackling]

I stand on the edge of total victory.

Ready to assume the mantle of Bioweve ascendant.

You do that, Vykar.

Don't mind me while I get out of here.

Zero, if there was ever a time

for you to make one of your annoying eleventh hour entrances...

this is it!

[Vykar] Zero. He's here.

I can sense it!

-Del Rev? -I know what to do, General.

Zero and his cheerleaders?

How did they commandeer the Viper?

And what's happened to Kai?

This is where it all started.

What?

Yes, what do you mean by that, Zero?

Seriously! I am sick of this guy butting in to our conversations.

You need to wear a bell.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

One slip of my finger and your pet robot, the big blue wizard

and anyone else aboard the Rogue can play a final round of

"How Many Atoms Can I Be Blown Into?"

Where's Vykar?

Waiting for you.

He's in one of his "Arrgh" moods, ramped up to a hundred.

So, I'm leaving.

Where is he?

Don't worry.

He's provided an escort.

Brilliant.

Not only did they do exactly what I wanted,

they even provided a means of escape.

Because I don't intend to stick around

and watch Vykar and Zero destroy the universe.
