Blake, Jenna, and Avon discover an armory, but still can't really operate the ship. The controls are hit-and-miss, but they discover Zen, the ship's computer. Zen is evasive when questioned, so after telling him where they want to go, they explore on their own. They find a teleport system, but all of the Federation's experiments with teleportation were unreliable, leaving them suspicious of its safety. The ship (now called the ''Liberator'') has stopped suddenly, and the crew are surprised that they're at their destination much faster than expected.
