The Destiny finds and docks with one of the seed ships. When exploring, they find the ship is not as uninhabited as they first supposed. Rush continues to keep the bridge a secret.
Tropes
- Aliens Speaking English: Averted. The brown aliens don't even have the knowledge of English that the blue aliens gained from interrogating Rush.
- Cool Starship: The seed ship matches Destiny in design, though it is smaller and shorter. When docked, they combined into quite a cool starship.
- Faint in Shock: An amusingly reversed version of they stereotypical cinema "monster faint". When one of the aliens runs into Volker, it's the alien that faints. It's even funnier because Volker is possibly the least combative character in the crew.
- It Tastes Like Feet: Pretty much everyone's opinion on the dried fruit, even the aliens'. Volker insists it tastes like rambutan.
- Starfish Aliens: The brown aliens are small bipedal arthropods. They are pretty far from human while still being bipeds.
- Used Future: The seed ship is grungy, cramped, dark, and damp. To be fair, it was never intended to be manned.
