The crew watch a bank heist go wrong and contemplate how to get some credits.
The Scout Service offers to sell the ship at a discounted rate, but the crew are still short for even a down payment on a 250,000 credit purchase. Fortunately a mech battle organizer has a plan. The crew, against all odds, defeat two Aslan Clan pilots in an arena battle and Loped runs out on his debt.
