"The Comet Empire doesn't accept return prisoners. ...Wwwwe know we can never trust them again." -- Torbuck
A Comet Empire pilot, Mazor, is captured and interrogated (mild
torture). After getting his guard, Dr Sane, drunk on soy bean milk
(not a difficult task, considering that it's really sake wine),
he escapes. But, turned away by his own fleet, he rams the Star Force in a
foolish attempt to regain his honor. Earth learns that, except for
the green skin and uncontrollable eye-brows, the Comet Empire race is
quite human.
Note: This episode is similar to that of the First Season, ep. 1-13, wherein a Gamilon pilot is captured and interrogated.
Leader Desslok has been assigned the task of defeating the Star Force. But, Princess Invidia, ever jealous of Desslok, has convinced her father to send General Torbuck to "aid Desslok... and to watch him."
Torbuck, feeling over-confident, decides to
show Desslok up by defeating the Star Force by himself.
He ambushes the Star Force as it passes through
a large cloud of meteors. The magnetic fields in the
meteor cloud drain the Argo's energy systems,
leaving it vulnerable to Torbuck's waiting fleet.
Treleina attempts to contact the Star Force to warn them, but
Torbuck jams her transmission. However, Desslok cancels
out Torbuck's signal.
"Why do that? We don't want the Star Force and Treleina to exchange information!" -- Morta
"Treleina is drawing the Star Force to Telezart. The faster they get there, the faster I will defeat them. Be sure to put that in your report to Prince Zordar... the one you send every day... in secret...?" -- Desslok
Sandor employs the asteroid ring defense system used on the mission to Iscandar. This time, he has provided the polarizing units with an energy field that absorbs the energy from the incoming fire they deflect, and redirects it back to the Argo in a useable form. With the energy boost, the Star Force manages to fire the Wave Motion Gun at the on-coming antimatter missles, thus, to Desslok's amusement, destroying the missles and Torbuck's fleet.
Mark Venture begins to develop a long-distance crush on the mysterious Treleina.
