After a tense night in a hotel room, the crew returns to the park, and picks up the package left on the bench. They rent a hovertruck, and head deep into the wilderness. The package is a holographic projector. When activated, in the middle of a forest, an image of Mr. Melanie appears. He thanks the crew for their delivery, but is displeased by their assassination of his son. A sonic grenade knocks out everyone but K'yrth, who is tranquilized while attempting to escape from the suddenly arriving thugs.

The crew, stripped of weapons, wakes up, bound, in the back of a hover truck. Freeing themselves, Meliar reveals a small needler. He and K'yrth climb out onto the roof of the truck. Meliar shoots the driver, and K'yrth pulls the passenger out through the door. Commandeering the truck, the crew heads on, detecting another truck coming up behind them. They call the Eye of Wisdom down from orbit, and rendezvous. Leaving the truck across the road, they leave to rejoin the Klarg Star in Orbit (after Maalor launched it) just in time to see the pursuing truck crash into the abandoned one.

The Klarg Star leaves Eridani, but stops at Starbase Rho on the way to the Empire. Meliar goes looking for a bunny rabbit, but doesn't return. Eventually, the crew turns up a bunny next to a small scrap of his veracloth, on which he scribbled: "Eeep! Navidrok Lienad." Unable to find Meliar or Kordivan, the crew returns to the Empire.
