Corval struggles to deal with the unexpected consequences of being bound to a Tarthet, and to keep his team together.

New background music makes this show one of the most engaging, exciting episodes yet! Grab your headphones and crank up the bass boost. Some popcorn might be a good idea too, because this chapter ended up being much longer than usual!

Fun Facts: This is the longest episode yet, thanks to a scene that was added just prior to giving the greenlight to the voice talent. The episode length is usually determined by the number of pages in the script, but there were so many sound effects and additional material that the extra time was unavoidable.
Over 200 sound clips were used in this chapter, not including voices, voice effects and music.

The captured Tarthet pilot is determined to survive, by any means necessary!

The new cast additions are proving to be worth their weight in gold, but what about the regulars? Well don't get all uptight and worried, because the whole gang will be back again in Chapter 9!

Fun Facts: Fido's new computerized voice was much easier to deal with this time around, largely thanks to the particular voice I chose to use. It seemed to be well suited for the halting, simple speech needed for the part. Remember that everything you hear is from a particular character's perspective. If Corval is in the scene, it'll be from his perspective alone that you'll (usually) experience the story. This aspect will be accentuated, starting with this chapter.

Captain Corval struggles with exhaustion and his own prejudice to find a common ground with the Tarthet prisoner.

New castmember Steve Riekeberg takes the reigns and the bull by the horns as he assumes the character of Captain Michael Hutsford. Salty veteran Jeff Schultz slides over and gives life to Chief Engineer Warren Gregory!

Fun Facts: Fido's computerized voice presented a challenge, as the software used to create the voice was unable to produce the halting simple-talk of the alien. Creating the voice required manual editing of the sound to provide the proper gaps. More on how the voice was created will be presented in the second episode of the BackStage Pass Show
