Can't Say I Remember No At Attin

After a suspenseful ending of the third episode of Skeleton Crew, this week’s episode begins with the crew landing on a planet they believe to be At Attin. Thinking that they have reached home, the crew is very happy, but their happiness is short-lived as the planet they have landed on turns out to be strange and unwelcoming. As they leave the ship to explore and ask for directions home, Fern asks SM-33 to watch Jod. Taking advantage of the situation, the pirate captain snoops around Wim’s stuff and finds the credit which he has hidden. Seeing this, SM-33 confronts him, calling him a thief. During their heated discussion, the droid reveals that the planet they are on is actually At Achrann, a place he has visited. Before Jod can process this news, the ship is surrounded by the native Hattan, forcing him to surrender.

While exploring the kids meet Hayna, a native At Achrann who belongs to a group called Troik. She takes them to her father and the leader of the Troik, General Strix. He refuses to help them, saying they do not concern themselves with offworlders. Wim, undeterred, asks if they have any ancient maps that can help them. To which Hayna suggested that they should go to the Fallen Sanctum. Strix warns the crew of its dangers but agrees to let them go if they undergo training, testing their resolve.

During training, Hayna and Neel form a strong bond as Neel shares the importance of peace. As the time of battle with Hattan nears, Strix asks the crew to lead them into battle, which makes them very scared as they plan to run as soon as the fight starts. At the battlefield, Jod comes to the rescue with SM-33 and returns the herd the Hattans have stolen from the Troiks, claiming he struck a deal with them. The kids become very happy seeing him and jump to hug him.

With the conflict being resolved, General Strix honours his word and allows them to go to the fallen sanctum and Hayna shows them the way. Their hopes of finding their way back home are crushed as they learn SM-33 destroyed the coordinates for At Attin when he was here with his old captain.
