Low on fuel and power, the crew of the Ghost is traveling towards an asteroid gas refinery to obtain fuel supplies for their ship and the Phoenix Cell. Hera, Sabine, and Chopper are in the cockpit, Ezra is in the nose gun, Kanan is in the top gun, and Zeb and Luna are in the rear gun. Luna has a heating blanket wrapped around herself.

Hera says, over the PA "Sorry, guys. Have to direct more power from thermal subsystems. Reducing heat to two percent."

Kanan says, over the PA "Our intel on this fuel source better be solid. I'm losing feeling in my fingers."

Hera says, over the PA "Saw the report myself. Somewhere in this belt, the Mining Guild's been refining clouzon-36 for the Empire."

Sabine says, over the PA "One shipment of that stuff could fuel us and all the ships in Phoenix Squadron for a full cycle."

Hera says, over the PA "Empire is scheduled to pick up their shipment today. We just have to get there and find it first."

Sabine says, over the PA "The asteroid field is scrambling our sensors."

Ezra says, over the PA "Well, I'm getting nothing on the old visual scanners."

Hera says, over the PA "All right. Cut the chatter. Keep your eyes peeled for that refinery."

Ezra says, over the PA "Does anyone hear that noise?"

Zeb groans and says, into the PA "The only thing I hear is my brain freezing."

Ezra says, over the PA "There. The noise. I hear it again. It's, it's getting louder."

Kanan says, over the PA "I don't see anything out here. What's it should like, Ezra?"

Ezra says, over the PA "It's, it's hard to describe. Kind of sad, I guess. But...I mean, how can you not hear it? It's coming from all around us."

Hera says, over the PA "Ezra, there's nothing to hear. Sabine, check the scanners again."

Sabine says, over the PA "Uh, don't have to. Look."

Hera says, over the PA "Brace yourselves!"

Several large creatures are floating through space and they bump into the Ghost and the Ghost shakes when the creatures bump into them.

Zeb grunts and says, into the PA "What the bloody blazers are those?"

Hera says, over the PA "Purrgils. They'll rip the hull apart. Prepare to fire. We gotta drive them back."

Kanan says, over the PA "Don't shoot! They'll pass. Just let'em do what they do."

Hera says, over the PA "What they do is destroy starships like ours."

Kanan says, over the PA "We can't waste power fighting these things!"

Hera says, over the PA What choice do we have?"

Luna says, into the PA "Or we could just get out of their way."

Hera says, over the PA "We either run into them or the asteroids. Take your pick."

Ezra says, over the PA "Try flying with them instead of against them."

Sabine says, over the PA "It's not the strangest thing we've ever done."

Hera says, over the PA "Yeah, that doesn't me feel better."

Hera flies the Ghost with the purrgil and Ezra says, over the PA "I think they're calming down. I'm not hearing them."

Kanan says, over the PA "That was a good instinct, Ezra. How did you know?"

Ezra says, over the PA "It just seemed like the right thing to do."
