One of twelve shorts part of the first season, released on YouTube on December 31, 2018.
The Ace Squadron heads out to escort in a shipment, although Griff Halloran doesn't know why all five of them need to head out on routine missions like this. It turns out, though, that this fuel freighter has been recently attacked by pirates, damaging their systems, including the navigation, placing the ship on a direct collision course with the Colossus that they can't steer out of. It takes all five Aces latching their fighters onto the ship to slow it down, bringing the out-of-control freighter to a halt just before it could hit the platform, causing a dock worker witnessing the sight to faint in relief.
Tropes:
- Faint in Shock: A dock worker faints when the freighter finally comes to a halt just before smashing into the platform.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: Hype's usual over-the-top antics completely disappear when he realizes that they're in genuine trouble, and he deals with the situation competently.
- Oh, Crap!: The Aces' reaction when it turns out the damaged freighter can't slow down or steer, and the dock worker's reaction when he sees the ship incoming.
- Suddenly Voiced: The most memorable moment of the short? The revelation that Bo Keevil does, in fact, occasionally speak, having one line.
- Tempting Fate: The short begins with Griff Halloran grumbling about why all five Aces need to go on routine missions escorting in shipments. Due to damage from a pirate attack, this ship needs all five Aces' help to avert a crash-landing.
