Plot
In the year 2337 smuggler and expert gunslinger Shriya Blaze is heading to the Daal Platter Diner after a successful smuggling run to the planet Grabbus Alpha Beta 4 to have a date with her girlfriend Sunny Parvati. On her way to the Daal Platter, she briefly encounters Rajur Vilkoe aboard his garbage scow, Sanitation Vessel 19873, after he accidentally releases the garbage he has just picked up. Shriya uses the tractor beam of her ship, the All-Out Blaze, to quickly return the floating garbage to Rajur’s ship before once again entering the hyper-lanes on her way to the Daal Platter Diner. On arrival in the sector where the Daal Platter Diner should be, Shriya comes across a debris field which she determines are the remains of the diner. She is at first worried that Sunny has died, but she quickly discovers a message buoy left by her ex-girlfriend, the notorious space pirate Lucy Nova. After Shriya accesses the databanks of the buoy, she discovers a holographic message from Lucy that says, “Since you broke my heart, I will take away your sambar and your stupid little artist.” The message ends with Lucy laughing and then the scene shifts to the inside of Lucy Nova’s ship, the Absolute Death.
The next segment of the film follows Lucy Nova as she relishes in her successful plan of revenge. She frequently prods Sunny Parvati with questions about her relationship with Shriya and Sunny in return replies with gibes that often go over the head of Lucy. While Lucy and Sunny are talking, Gotti 1071-C is seen in an unused cargo compartment talking with Unit 1199110198-B aboard Shriya’s ship for the first time. Gotti’s conversation is cut short when a red alert is sounded, and the pirate crew is called to battle stations. A battle ensues between Lucy’s ship, Absolute Death, and the military escort of a Pflanderstuck freighter which ends in both the escort and freighter disabled. Lucy then boards the escort ship with her crew and quickly subdues its crew and strips it of its weapons and other valuable components. While Lucy is aboard the escort ship, a small, cloaked ship is seen approaching the scene of the battle. The view then moves to the bridge of the cloaked vessel were we see its captain speaking with High General Cauvery Büstenhalter. Cauvery tells the captain to proceed with the elimination of Lucy. The cloaked ship is then seen approaching the freighter that Lucy and her crew have boarded in the mean time and the captain is heard giving the command to fire phase disruptors at the freighter. Before the cloaked ship can fire though, Rajur Vilkoe’s garbage scow exists the hyperlanes and impacts the cloaked ship, propelling it toward the disabled escort vessel. The cloaked ship collides with the escort ship and a large explosion erupts and destroys both vessels. Meanwhile, a disgruntled Lucy is seen combing through the cargo of the freighter, cargo containers full of fifty-year-old porn chips. Before ordering the freighter and its cargo destroyed, Lucy is seen shoving several handfuls of the porn chips into her coat.
