The team has determined that Sir Lebel, leader of the space defence forces, is in cahoots with the encroaching Narn. The team attacks the station with General Vorpath in order to prevent this. Meanwhile, re-inforcements for the team arrive but have difficulty entering the station because of the Narn forces. The attack is successful and general Vorpath takes control. Sir Lebel reveals that he has a plan to repulse the Narn, but General Vorpath objects to him using it, because if Lebel was successful in such an attempt, Lebel would certainly become the leader of the planet despite his crimes. Vorpath is confident that he can outfight the Narn on the ground.

But one of the team's hotheads decides that only Lord Green is fit to rule the planet, so he suddenly blasts General Vorpath and Sir Lebel. Their followers attack the team, but they manage to escape thanks to the timely application of knockout gas through the station's ventilation system.

Lord Green takes control of the planet, but is too weak to resist the Narns. Within days, the planet is well on it's way to becoming a Narn protectorate. Out of gratitude for helping him become the planetary leader, KING Green assists the team and allows them to depart.
